"If you're one of the die-hard Master Chief fans that just can't let go of Halo 2, there's a chance that you've got some good news waiting in your inbox. Microsoft is currently sending out emails to Xbox Live users, specifically those who insist on clinging to the old ways. As the Xbox Live service for original Xbox games will shut down next month, Microsoft is offering Halo 2 fans quite a severance package."
Remember the days of four-player couch co-op? The Wealth of Geeks team certainly does. This list brings us back to the golden years of the original Xbox with the best four-player games that were available.

You forgot one and it's a doozy. The weapon is kindness in undertale. :) defeats countless enemies.
Not every Halo game has been a banger, but the franchise still has a raft of the greatest games of all time.
Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.
Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
If it weren't for the 360 I'd be like these fellows stuck playing Halo 2. But that would be much better than suffering through any Playstation 3 game.
Shows that Bungie cares about their community
and
that they know what is good marketting

i got one, but i've also got ODST, so...
i'd like another Friends and Family key :)
more sweets were 3 months of XBL and 400 MS points.
halo 2 goodbye plays will be awesome.
So the real motives behind xbox online service being disconnected surface.
This is pure genius. They shut down the servers to Halo 2. Now how do you convince those players to upgrade to 360? Beta invitations. Makes them feel special. Microsoft is too good at marketing its scary. They've fooled millions of people and they will continue to do so. I don't blame the consumers with tactics like this.
