As you know in April, Microsoft will be terminating the Xbox LIVE service for the original Xbox, and all its games, including those on the Xbox 360 via originals.
The biggest game effected by this is undoubtedly Halo 2. The game really kicked off online gaming on the console, and still to this day has a massive fan base. And Bungie know this, and are saddened by its demise.
In a statement on its site, the company said;
"We're all saddened at the realization that an era is coming to an end but looking back, we're incredibly fortunate to have had such a great run and such strong support from our fans. Halo 2 has been at or near the top of the Xbox LIVE charts for original games since it launched over five years ago. We're extremely thankful to everyone who has played, enjoyed and supported Halo 2 over Xbox LIVE. We've had some great fun together, including far too many humpday losses to even recount."
"That said, mark your calendars now - on April 14th let's all rally to go online for one last hoorah. One final farewell and one final opportunity for all of you to kick our asses at Halo 2."
So. A big send off is on the cards. Anyone who still plays the game, or just wants to relieve the good times has until April 15th to do so!
But for now, we'll leave you with the next generation of Halo. Yes, move over Batman, Harry Potter, Star Wars and Indie Jones, LEGO Halo 2 is truly where its at.
