I realize this topic has caused a lot of complaining and I will probably get scolded for this, but seriously, what is the deal? So many players played Halo 2 Multiplayer, yet the servers were shut down even though people paid for a service (the servers). Now I see an opportunity to reestablish the Halo 2 Servers as the Destiny game is made. It would give players a chance to revisit the good old days on Halo 2 (and to pass the time for a game that looks good). Seriously, I consider this a signature on a community petition. I believe that, as a community, we can get Bungie to ask Microsoft to put the Halo 2 Servers back up. Now you will probably say "Well no one owns that game anymore" or "Microsoft has announced that Halo 2 Servers will be disabled on April 15, 2010, due to the fact that all original Xbox games will no longer be supported on Xbox Live". Should Halo 2 Multiplayer Servers, one of the most acclaimed and supported games, be taken down because Microsoft has decided that ALL Xbox-only games will no longer be supported? I believe that we can, with enough supporters, convince Microsoft to bring the Halo 2 Servers back up. I'm sorry if you will criticize me for you losing/throwing away/selling/giving away your Halo 2 Disc. I just really hope that this can be noticed as it has been almost 3 years since the shutdown of the Halo 2 Servers. Thank you if you have read all of this, and I hope we can accomplish this goal.
*Sorry if this is in the wrong forum section.

It's not on the wrong forum section. It's on the wrong forum. The fact of the matter is that Microsoft owns Halo, and we're too busy blazing new trails to tell them what to do with it. We appreciate your enthusiasm for Halo 2, but no good will come from this plea. At least not here.

This isn't going to happen

Edited by DE4THINC4RN4TE: 2/20/2013 7:16:16 AMYou're going to want to take this over to Halo Waypoint. The only way this could conceivably happen is if you could get the attention of a higher up and prove to them Microsoft stands to make a sizable amount of money on this. I'd say go for it. People have done amazing things before, perhaps it will happen again with Halo 2.

Best of luck to you on waypoint. I must say though not a bad idea. You may want to spread it to social networking as well.

What Deej said. [url=https://forums.halowaypoint.com/]Halo Waypoint[/url] is in charge of the entire Halo franchise now. Feel free to propose your plan there instead. Best of luck!
