  I'm guessing Xbox Live isn't hosting Halo 2 on their servers anymore.

  Im confused...Why cant they just turn it off and come back later? Whats going on lol? (BTW, this thread is awesome to read to the tune of We didnt start the Fire!) (Got my nintendo, dont know what else goes on)

  
  
  Microsoft shut down Xbox Live support for all of the older generation games (including Halo 2) on April 15th in preparation for some updates to the service that wouldn't be compatible with said games.
  
  
  I was hanging around the live stream when they lost the 12th guy last night. Aw man that was sad.
  
  Tons of people were on there chatting away while Zombie played. Then we see Sherlock run around a corner in-game. Next thing we know, he's on the chat telling everyone he's just been dced from Live. Followed by a ton of "NOOOOO!!!!"s from everyone on the chat. And of course, Zombie just stopped playing right then and there and headed back to the lobby. She was heartbroken too. Her only late night Halo 2 buddy...gone.
  
  (down to 10 now, btw)

  Microsoft sent Halo: Reach beta codes to the last dozen still playing Halo 2 more than two weeks after multiplayer support was shut off for the original Xbox. Maybe it's a hint to finally disconnect and play something else?
  
  Technically, this isn't much of an award, as Reach beta keys were to be offered to loyal original Xbox gamers, along with some Microsoft points and a Gold membership extension. I don't know if that swag has hit for them yet, but at least the "Noble 12" can immediately get into Swordbase, Powerhouse and the like.
  
  And the final twelve holdouts got recognized by the big company, which must be a nice feeling too. Microsoft put out this statement:[QUOTE]
  
  A small band of a committed few, engaged in a battle against insurmountable odds. It's not Noble team from Halo: Reach, it's the final, passionate few who are still playing Halo 2. We wish them the best in their battle against time. Their tremendous exhibition of courage and commitment makes them ideal candidates for Noble team and therefore we are working to ensure they have everything necessary to participate in the Halo: Reach beta.

  
  
  Reading between the lines, why do I sense they're also saying, "Now for the love of God, would you please get out of the game so we can finally shut things off?"

  Again, don't need two threads for pretty much the same topic.

  but but arsik
  the title is to lure more people to read :(
  
  and it's a different topic
  now instead of 14 left, there's only 12 left
• Arsik wrote on 2010-04-30 23:29
  Unless those 12 players have nothing to do with the 14 in the first thread, then I see no reason as to why you can't just update on one thread.
