To everyone who has played, enjoyed and supported Halo 2 for it's 5+ years of dominance on Xbox LIVE, we thank you! It is of course sad for any of us to accept the end of an era but it's been a good ride.
That said, mark your calendars now - on April 14th we're going to hit Halo 2 en masse for one last HOORAH, old school style.

I got Halo 2 April 10th, 2010. I played online right after it got taken off LIVE. Now I can't play Halo 2 with friends. What a dissapointment. The funny thing was about a week or 2 after Halo 2 got taken off LIVE, I went to a friends house and he was playing Halo 2 online for the PC.. I was mad....
