It'd be funny if nobody actually went on.

Never played Halo 2 online, but I will jump on if Bungie/MS can sort out the DLC issue. They have 2 months so I think they will.
Should be fun to play it on Xbox one last time. I was thinking of picking it up for Vista since it's only $10 in most stores.

The Vista one is very nice. But it runs on Vista. That's the issue.

So do I. And yes, that does suck. MS did it to get people to buy Vista. Now that 7 is out though, it's reasonable.

Oh, goddamit. I swear, that asshole fools me into replying to him everytime. Can't he just get banned until he gets a new name? He's obviously a troll.

Now if Microsoft puts the DLC back on Live...(it's all free anyway). It's crap they've already pulled it.

I don't know, Halo 2 still has it's moments. It's a different animal than Halo 3.

You got banned twice in one day. You can't even talk about trolls or even being banned.

I better pull out my old copies of Crimson Skies and Men of Valor for a few last plays. Anyone in?

I'll play some Crimson Skies sometime.
Joystiq needs to set up some kind of schedule, like 'play this game today' stuff.

...not all console games require a central service. Any online Sega Saturn game is still playable, and about five Dreamcast games still work, including Unreal Tournament.
