I know its depressing to see the Live go but, come on guys.
Its time to let it go.
Halo 3 is fun too!
I promise!
^ HE LIES! HALO 3 IS NOT, I REPEAT! NOT FUN! Well it might be if these blokes like the 2nd one so much, I have no idea, never played Halo 2, maybe it's like in the case of CoD4, MUCH better than its successor

I don't see why so many people are getting up in arms about this. It's not like your quality of life is somehow diminished by people who still want to play Halo 2. It's their choice if they want to stay on or not, and since Microsoft hasn't kicked them yet, they clearly aren't hurting Microsoft.

imagine being the last one. wondering around coagulation or outskirts for the last time with no one to kill. just slowly walking threw the halls of titan which were once filled with pew pews, shrieks, and racist comments of incompetent 14 year olds. imagine being the last one. goodbye friends, goodbye enemies. just looking out over the edge or cliff face admiring the scene.... goodbye world *logs off*
I'm not even a major Halo fan and that almost made me cry, I wouldn't even log off for an hour or two just to admire the pure beauty... I'd easily do the same for cod4(when the time comes, we know it will), although it'd be hard to admire a place with gun shots going off in the distance XD...

OT: I support these people, I would kill to be able to say "dude, I saw the end" to my friend. I probably would have joined these people if my Halo 2 disk didn't brake a few months back when I tried playing it again... kudos to them and their final hoorah...

And THIS my friends is why...

PS3 > 360 ..

Mines free.. and yours doesn't exist :)
PS3 dose not play PS2 games tho
And? That is what my moded PS2 with a hard drive is for my friend. Cheap and effective.
Leave the PS3 natural :)

But seriously, I don't care it doesn't play PS2 games or not honestly. Blueray FTW.
Mmmm in a game discussion about the Xbox whos rival is the PS2 it should be 360>PS3..... but whatever *rollseyes*
Ohh so this is an Xbox 1 game .. who cares? Get over it.. I thought it was on the 360.. and besides your analogy would be xbox > PS2 NOT 360>PS3 .... so don't quote me on logistics...

And back to my point .. PS3 > 360 ... WHY ? Never will I pay to play online .. EVER ..

If we deny them food, and water, we can win this!

^also, lol'd at above post.

PC > Pay a lot now, reap benefits (lower game cost, better visuals, no additional charge for online gaming, upgradability)

PS3 > medium, Pay a decent amount now, still need to suffer the higher cost for games, but you get no additional cost in online services.

Xbox > Low startup cost, pay a lot for games like the PS3, pay a lot for Xbox live over time, pay for wireless if you need it, etc. etc.

Question is, can you front it or do you need to pay for gaming in installments like the Xbox?

Yeah, never actually played Halo 2... actually that's a lie I did once a long time ago. It was a four person match, not online, at some party, I can't even remember what is was anymore. All I know is that I got one kill against the kid who owned the game. His strategy was to jump off of high places with a rocket launcher and fire from midair onto his prey. I got the most random kill against him. I whipped around and without aiming shot him square in the chest with a shotgun just before he fired. It was epic.

Maybe, but you're not paying an extra 60 dollars per year to play online in PSN. Seriously, I despise that a gaming console so popular is asking for multiplayer people to cough up more cash.
When was the last time Microsoft passed up the opportunity to gouge it's customers failed to offer you an additional paid service for any reason?

For fuck sake, GFWL started out with a pay to play restriction attached.

Why they're mad:
This will eventually happen to Xbox Live on 360. Remember those 1995 games you really loved and every few years, reinstall to play through again? Someday you won't be able to do that with 2005 classics.

Halo 2 was the greatest online shooter ever on consoles. I don't blame them for wanting to keep playing... hell, I would if my friends still played it.

That game and the first Gears of War was so great for the community aspect: EVERYBODY on Xbox Live played them, not this wishy-washy Halo3/CoD4/MW2/Gears 2/Gears1/etc split. I loved how everybody on my friends list was always playing. It was amazing. Bungie did a great job keeping the game fresh with updates, maps, and playlist tweaks.

I wish they would go back to that game's spirit instead of trying to channel Halo CE for Reach. Halo 2 was perfect :)

I don't play online period and the 360 has enough games to be worth owning so meh whatever.

They're fighting for their beliefs on something trivial and meaningless.

They have my support.

I don't understand those "what a bunch of idiot's" comments. Apparently, Halo 2 multi is their favorite game. Suddenly, they heard that they could not play it anymore, but they found a way to enjoy their favorite game a little bit longer. What's so stupid in it? If you know, something you love will be lost forever, and you have an occasion to savor it for a bit longer, then why not take the chance? I would do exactly the same thing, if I would care about Halo 2 in any way.
Easy to answer - whenever people are making a stand, there will always be intolerants to mock and deride them. And maybe threaten physical violence merely for doing something different. Such is the world we live in ;)

Well, this is a tad...surprising.

Is halo three really this bad that people are still hanging on to the old one?
