Goodbye, Halo 2

As most avid XBox players should know at this point, Microsoft is cutting off support for original XBox games. Unfortunately, this includes Halo 2.


I can't be the only one who gets nostalgic when I fire up Halo 2 with some friends. Not only is it the first game many of us played on XBox Live, but it's the best selling original XBox game of all time with a whopping eight million copies sold. The only game to even draw near this number was Halo: Combat Evolved with five million copies sold.
While many of us are saying goodbye to one of our favorite games, the rest of us will be preparing for the new features Microsoft plans to add now that original XBox games are no longer limiting the capabilities of XBox Live.
If you really want to keep playing Halo 2, be sure to buy the Games for Windows version. This version is for PC and continues to have full XBox Live capabilities as well as achievements!
