Finally a chance to have more than 100 friends
Wait, cod2/3?
They better not mean the 360 versions. Burnout revenge also. |

If you're still playing Halo 2 on XBL, you're probably the type that is hardcore enough to play Halo 2 on LAN parties (or XB Connect).
I hope this does free up some of Microsoft's resources to focus more on the current generation. I loved some of those games, but I haven't played them in years and probably won't for several more years. |

| This is definitely incentive for me to boot up my Halo 2 again over the next two months...I've never played another shooter quite as much as I did that one. |

Same, Halo 2 really is one of the greatest online games ever. |

| If its for the sake of bigger friends lists and better xbox live services, its probably the time to move on. |

| Wow, it makes what EA does seem less evil :) -- this won't effect me, I don't have an original Xbox or any original Xbox games. |

| Terrible headline, I thought someone in the industry had died, not that this was the xbox live closure story that I've been hearing about all day. |

This is sad news. I loved Star Wars Battlefront 2 online, (no mention of Battlefront 1 though?), and I will be very sorry to see the online aspect disappear. I will also greatly miss the fun of playing Halo 2 online....
Yes, it's progress; yes, it's for some or other greater good, but it's sad to see the (online) passing of such incredible games. Lets all play the hell out of them before April 15th! |
When is there going to be a decent World War 1 flying game released?? |

Really?
The original Xbox came out in 2001, and Microsoft have been supporting its LIVE functionality within its first year, which is far longer than any other company supports their consoles, especially considering the 360 came out 2005. I was surprised to hear that the Xbox still has LIVE access to be honest.
The servers being shut will benefit us X360 users, like Mike said enough, there won't be a cap on the friends list anymore, for example. |

| For those asking, this won't affect the 360 versions of those games (COD3, etc.) nor Windows Live (Halo 2) but it should resolve the conflict that limits your friends list to 100 contacts. |

Rest in Peace. These games will not be forgotten!
It's a shame to see these games go. I better start going back to play these games online. Back then was a better time. When we didn't have to worry about achievments or ratios! |
Feels good man. |

At least it's on PC I guess. I just need to figure out why in the world mine keeps crashing even though I can easily play Gears of War which I assume has much higher requirements.
Damn you PC gaming. |

| Wait! (and sorry for being stupid) are these games just getting shut down for the original xbox? or are the servers going offline for the 360 as well? |

Thanks, I was just going to ask if this affected Halo 2 on the PC ... been meaning to pick that up for a while now.

Funny, Gears of War (PC) crashes constantly for me and the friends I played with. So much so that I just quit a while back ... another one to finish off, I guess. |
