You think you know dedication? You don’t know dedication!...OK. Maybe you do. But still. There’s a group of Halo 2 fans that are currently refusing to finish the fight despite Microsoft pulling the plug on the original Xbox Live service last week.
The devoted gamers have had their systems on and connected for over a week, and while their numbers are dropping at an alarming rate, it appears that there are still people playing. Although, two of the main live streams that have been carrying the momentous feat have stopped after both users had their Internet connections drop.
It’s unclear how many users were playing on original Xboxes as opposed to Xbox 360s, but this Justin.tv feed was for a 360 player. As of last night, there were still 24 people playing. I came across another stream of one of the last connected players, but it isn’t broadcasting yet. The fight to keep Halo 2 alive continues.

Why don't Microsoft just put Halo 2 on the marketplace with better graphics same controls add achievements to it and put it up live ?

Here's a Halo fight that I hope never finishes.

I don't see why they don't just continue allowing people to play their old xbox games on the current xbox live, it doesn't seem that hard to put some extra coding into the system to make it possible, but I could be wrong.

I'm happy to see there are still people able to play this amazing game. I think they should have at least kept online support up for the game until Reach was released.

As cool as this is, these people are in the way of me having more than 100 friends. :(

They should get SOMETHING to reward them for that kind of dedication. I'd've tried Halo 2 online, but, unfortunately, Windows Live hates me. :(

I wonder if OnLive will have Halo 2 online. It would be smart of them.

I played my last Halo 2 match on the day after it was supposed to go offline because it actually wouldn't let me back on after that match but it was a great ride though, and my last match took place on Coagulation (Blood Gulch) so I'm happy.

I commend them for staying true to there game. But I also pity them for not being able to let go of the past.

If people are that dedicated to saving Halo 2, Bungie should really consider a throwback map pack
