Xboxic: The Last Guy Ever To Play Halo 2 Online Speaks Out

Xboxic Reports: "The announcement detailing the closure of Xbox LIVE for original Xbox games hit the Halo 2 community hard. Mostly because it was still a very much active community of gamers, but in the eyes of Microsoft, it was holding up plans for future Xbox 360 online services (yet to be announced). The Xbox LIVE Team hit the switch on April 15th, and one by one when gamers disconnected from the service, future access was eternally denied - but out there a small group kept going, day by day, week by week."

In his own words the last guy ever on Halo 2 speaks out.

technically there is still "online" play through xbconnect and xlink kai using xbox's system link feature right?

im pretty sure he'd get a good number of views if he taped his disconnection, as well as a tribute vid surrounding it

and im sure hell get something from either MS or BUNGIE, there is no way they are gunna go unnoticed, theyve given halo supporters more for doing less, lol

Good for this guy. His dedication is amazing. He must've left his Xbox on for over 25 days.

chad22hkd5117d ago

or is it just the first one. They should put it on pc so dedicated halo 2 fans could still play with dedicated servers. That a shame that a game so active got disconnected like that.

Halo 2 is available for the pc. However it does not work with Windows XP.

Look, I can respect being want to be connected to one of the most popular MP games ever, but that speech? Jeez, some people take stuff way too seriously.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii125d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies125d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
