My gut tells me that you're fooling around, especially since the confirmations are seemingly from somebody you know and possible sock-puppets.

If it did happen...

Quotes are mostly from some old thread on the possibility of H2PC being ported to the Surface.

I dunno who did it but it got me interested that the apple logo was in H2, so I took a look at the font tables using some program i found for H2X and sure as shit it really is in the fonts.

Holy shit that video made me burst out laughing

They're probably teasing the community for something big coming up. (unrelated to the screenshots)

This thread is FTW ridiculousness, and I love it.

What's the source to that video? lol

Some show from the Netherlands called Boemerang but it is "fake".

343i: "We're shutting down the Halo 2 Online servers."

Community: "FUCK YOU"

343i: "Guys don't overreact, we have plans. We're just stopping the servers...."

Community: "FUCK YOU YOU'RE NOT THE REAL DEVELOPERS"

343i: "....So we can bring them back up with a rerelease of Halo 2 with modern netcode, better support, and a better editing kit."

I'll laugh if that's the case.

If that is the case, it would have been nice for them to say, "Yeah, not many players are on these days, so we're going to fix that. In the meantime, let's close up shop so we can work on it."
