Not really sure how I feel about this. On one hand, it sucks that Microsoft has decided that nobody will ever be able to play Halo 2 again, ever. On the other hand, the Halo 2 multiplayer sucked in my opinion... mostly because the SMG was the default starting weapon in 90% of the games I ever played, and it put you at an immediate disadvantage against anybody who had a decent gun. Plus, there were only a couple hundred custom maps, most of which looked either poorly made, or were copies of good CE maps.

I support trying to save it, but I have to agree that having a peak of 20 players is a good justification for shutting it down.
