    Halo 2 PC Closing Down

    To switch gears ever so slightly, we’re sad to report that the service end-date for Halo 2 PC Multiplayer will be February 15, 2013. We’ve been monitoring the population for months, and it’s been peaking consistently at approximately 20 players or less. Those that own this game can continue to enjoy Multiplayer over LAN after that date; however our network services will be turned off at that time. We love you, Halo 2 PC, and you will live forever in our hearts.

    They are finally putting that shit stain out of its misery.

    If only they FIXED THE FUCKING THING, maybe it wouldn't be peaking at 20 players. Go fuck yourself Microsoft.

    There's also literally no reason to do this, since it's just a god damn server browser. It's not like Microsoft is hosting shit.

    RIP halo 2 multiplayer

    I'm guessing this isn't exactly the sort of thing that one can patch a workaround for

    Amusingly, reports suggest that a large number of serials provided with legitimate copies of the game don't even work. No wonder the population is so low when nobody can get on*.


    *ignoring the fact that everything was terrible. Did the port have a single redeeming feature?

    If anyone bothers to install it and play it we should have a gamenight before it shuts down.

    I don't know how I should feel about this... I'm down for a last gamenight if anyone here wants to go before the pig is slaughtered.

    I cannot even get it to install...

    If this wouldn't be Microsoft + GFWL, imagine how Steam would have saved it on a last sale.

    I'm up for one.

    This is dumb though. What bother does the game's multiplayer have on MS? What harm could go from making the EDK opened for SP?

    Even more so, why not leave it open for people who still want to set up Dedicated Servers?

    EDIT: You know what, I can understand why they would shut it down. Halo 2 is obsolete now, the multiplayer has no one in it half of the time, the servers are laggy, and basically it's a piece of extraneous junk now. It's just another extraneous expense they don't want. Regardless, I think it's shitty they aren't even going to refurbish or think about doing anything besides shut it down.
