RIP Halo 2

[.curve]

As of tomorrow Halo 2, one of the greatest online multiplayer shooters, is officially taken off of Xbox Live service.

I got a few last games in with some friends. I'll miss the Midship FFAs. TS Lockouts. Ball on Midship/Lockout. Many other game types and maps.

It's a sad day my friends. A very sad day.

Meh I didn't have Live on the original xbox, but I sure had fun playing with friends on one and linking with 2 xboxes

well all games in the halo franchise were 'the games' (except maybe wars lol) but honestly why play halo 2 when reach is around the corner

I think Halo 1 is still the best, at least took the most skill to master, especially online with the bullet lag.

I used to be able to shoot a banshee out of the sky with a pistol

Good times, good times. <3

I agree. If you could hold your own on XBC back in Halo 1, you were good.
But Halo 2 was really the break out game because of the online capabilities.
And...the service ends today. I just got the Final Notice email.

The only good part is I got 3 Months of XBL, 400 MS Points, and entry into the Halo: Reach beta free because of it.
