Kinda late on the topic, but they shut down the old xbox live service on something like April 16th. Now I know most people won't care, but I personally am very sad to learn of this. Halo 2 was one of my all time favorite games to play online. If I got bored of everything else, I always knew that I could get on halo 2 and make a weekend out of playing games on matchmaking.

I missed the final day though. I didn't learn of Mircosoft shutting down the old xbox live service until the day after it was down, so I missed out. I think they should at least keep one of the servers up so that old xbox games can still be played online. What are your thoughts on the matter?

hey darth,

Is XLINK Kai or anything like that still running??
You could more then likely get a game that way..

I know i used to play a shitload of halo 2 using Xlink.

It's a sad day when they shutdown servers but hey you gotta evolve.
Find a new game that gets you hooked.

I'm fairly sure that Xlink is still working, but it is usually so laggy on it that I can't do a thing. I remember when my 360s used to break I would have about a week where I could only play my old xbox. Both of my old xboxes were banned so I would go on Xlink and play halo 2. Almost every game I got into was so laggy that you would be walking and then just fall through the floor or teleport through walls or just randomly die where you stand. Every once in a while you would find a game that worked fine, but this was back in 2007/2008 so maybe it has gotten better since then?

Either way I have been playing MW2 lately because I have nothing else that sounds fun for multi player. It's an alright game, but some people are just too good on it and piss me off Laughing
