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.

'Cmon guys, get real. Of course they're not going to re-release Halo 2 on the Live Marketplace. That's too much to hope for. Maybe when the Xbox Awesome Snowboarding game for N64 comes out in the way distant future they'll re-release it. Kinda like Croteam did with Serious Sam. And if you've never played the most awesome snowboarding game ever created, it's called 1080.
