Chances are you've read the news about Microsoft discontinuing Xbox Live support for original Xbox games, including Bungie's own Halo 2. Well, don't expect the publisher to bow out quietly. Over on Bungie.net, community manager Brian "Sketch" Jarrard is rallying the troops for one last battle with the game on April 14th, the day before the servers shut down on Halo 2 for good. The full post is as follows...
"We're all saddened at the realization that an era is coming to an end but looking back, we're incredibly fortunate to have had such a great run and such strong support from our fans. Halo 2 has been at or near the top of the Xbox LIVE charts for original games since it launched over five years ago. We're extremely thankful to everyone who has played, enjoyed and supported Halo 2 over Xbox LIVE. We've had some great fun together, including far too many humpday losses to even recount.
That said, mark your calendars now - on April 14th let's all rally to go online for one last hoorah. One final farewell and one final opportunity for all of you to kick our asses at Halo 2.
Stay tuned to Bungie.net in the weeks to come for more details."
We shall all raise our rifles in unison. Hoo-ah!
