Halo 2 Xbox Server comes to a close

**Carlos** · 02-07-2010

Microsoft announced that they will be closing the original Halo 2 for Xbox servers that has in recent times limited XBL friendlist on xbox 360 to only 100 friends...This has prevented Microsoft from being able to raise the friendlist limit to higher levels - something many had suggested.

Halo 2 Xbox servers will go offline effective April 15th, so you have a few months of playtime with Halo 2 for Xbox.

Announcements are below:

It is March 31st. You have exactly two weeks to enjoy Halo 2 or any other Xbox Online Enabled games through the first version of Xbox Live.

Wow, that's really strange. I wish my 360 wasn't banned from XBL so I could go back and enjoy Halo 2 on XBL for old time's sake...
