Game has dedicated servers, i'm pretty sure that people will still play online regardless of whether MS has decided to shut down their services.ferret-gameryou still need a master server to be able to retrieve data from dedicated servers. MS can shut that down.
I saw an article with MS claiming that only 20 people still play it. While the game is old, I find that hard to believe as Halo is pretty popular.

A lot of games have had their master servers shut down when the population disappears.

The PC version of Halo 2 didn't sell that well. The Vista only requirement was a real drag and then they stopped selling it after awhile.
It's a popular series, but not on PC, Uwe Boll movies are Oscar winners compared to Halo series' sales on PC.I saw an article with MS claiming that only 20 people still play it. While the game is old, I find that hard to believe as Halo is pretty popular.

[QUOTE="Cwagmire21"]It's a popular series, but not on PC, Uwe Boll movies are Oscar winners compared to Halo series' sales on PC. Wrong. Halo 1 Sold like MAD on PC and still does. last time i checked more than 500 people play it regularly probbly upwards of 1000.I saw an article with MS claiming that only 20 people still play it.

Halo never sold like anything on PC, 1 had "some" copies sold (not enough to even get mentioned in gaming magazines, that's how important and successful its PC release was) and 2 was a complete failure mentioned only because it was limited to Vista.I saw an article with MS claiming that only 20 people still play it.

It runs on my PC under Windows 7....you still need a master server to be able to retrieve data from dedicated servers. MS can shut that down.[QUOTE="bonafidetk"][QUOTE="ferret-gamer"]Game has dedicated servers, i'm pretty sure that people will still play online regardless of whether MS has decided to shut down their services.Wasdie

And then people end up hosting their own master servers. But yea Halo 2 PC was kind of a stinker, I remember when it was just announced. And now it's shutting down. How time flies.[QUOTE="DanielDust"][QUOTE="Cwagmire21"]It's a popular series, but not on PC, Uwe Boll movies are Oscar winners compared to Halo series' sales on PC. Wrong.

I a few months ago when I checked halo 2, it had about 8 players. Halo is indeed the far superior game on pc if you want a match

Ah. My mistake.Halo 1 sold like hotcakes and is still played a lot on the PC. IIRC the custom edition SDK mod version is actually free to play... but dont quote me on that, its a long time since I played Halo 1.I saw an article with MS claiming that only 20 people still play it.
