As of tomorrow Halo 2, one of the greatest online multiplayer shooters, is officially taken off of Xbox Live service.

I got a few last games in with some friends. I'll miss the Midship FFAs. TS Lockouts. Ball on Midship/Lockout. Many other game types and maps.

It's a sad day my friends. A very sad day.

Had a blast playing the last few Halo 2 matches I'll ever play. RIP Halo 2.

Not the same. Not even close. Halo was a console game.

I think Halo 1 is still the best, at least took the most skill to master, especially online with the bullet lag.

I agree. If you could hold your own on XBC back in Halo 1, you were good.
But Halo 2 was really the break out game because of the online capabilities.
And...the service ends today. I just got the Final Notice email.

The only good part is I got 3 Months of XBL, 400 MS Points, and entry into the Halo: Reach beta free because of it.
