Halo 2: The Last Spartan Falls

they wanted to continue to play their favorite game. Halo 2 was actually very good right after it came out for live. shortly thereafter it was flooded with the young and obnoxious but you get my drift.Radelaide said:
also they were probably very good a halo 2 and couldn't migrate to 3 cause they are cheap poor lazy or some combination of the three
If they stopped supporting CS:S (I realize they also have ded servers but hold on) I would keep playing it until everybody else just quit. Because I have a lot of love for the game, I don't even play it on an everyday basis but I would play it for a couple weeks to show my support for the game.
Also they may have though of sitting there playing like a sort of a sit in, and hoped they could get their game support back on some scale. IE them, looks like they'll have to use LAN ZOMG NOOOOO!!!
Yes, aimless hate, because I still fail to see how this hurts you. Here we have a group of gamers that liked a game very much, decided to hold out on one final stand just to see how long they can last, got the support of both Microsoft and Bungie, and then were kicked from the game. Where in that sequence of events was there harm or injury to other people or to you? Where? This was an innocent little event that showed their dedication to a game. This story will probably be forgotten in a few weeks time, but it was cool to follow it while it lasted. Yet, you act as if someone slapped and spit in your face. Why get your panties in a bunch over something so inconsequential? This is one of the stupidest things to be angry about.Skullkid4187 said:
I will never forget how days would just vanish in Halo LAN partys, farewell Halo and Halo 2 may you never know how crappy Halo 3 was
Halo 1 is the 30th most played PC game according to Xfire (L4D2 is 29)so while H2 (rank 270) is dead H1 is still hanging around.
Yeah? And dedicated servers let you do that. They then let you get to know these people if you so choose OR you can move-on to a different server. Unlike X-Box Live which is basically the online gaming equivalent of speed dating. Not to say that it's a bad thing if it's what you prefer, but it IS a bad thing if you'd prefer to stay in a smaller community of people.Onyx Oblivion said:I like meeting new people!
Except in co-op games. I never join random people in co-op games.
This isn't even the worst of it. I've seen people here post for pages and pages ranting about shit that makes it look like they didn't even read the actual article. Gamers are notorious knee-jerk reactioneers who'll spout roughly 70% of their dictionary of insults before they've even given the situation a moment's thought. In other words, gamers of all ages are generally 5 years old.sravankb said:

Good on the last survivor, and he even thanked them after.
They stuck with Halo 2 as long as they could - that should unlock an achievement.

No. They really aren't. Private Matches are people who already know each other all getting specific invites into a game. You don't meet new people when you only play private matches because new people can't randomly join the server. Said new people cannot then decide they like the community on the server and add it to their favorites list. What's more is that the community wouldn't be forced to disband because the company running the game decided it was no longer profitable to keep the community active. Sure they'd then be at the mercy of the owner of the dedicated server, but the glory thing about that is that if the owner decides to get rid of the server, someone in the community can pick-up where he left off with his own server.Onyx Oblivion said:That's what private matches are for with us console gamers.WhiteTigerShiro said:Yeah?

So no, there really isn't any advantage that X-Box Live has which dedicated servers cannot match, if not exceed. Note how back in the 90's nearly every game you could play online was based on P2P hosting similar to X-Box Live, then they moved-up to dedicated servers because they worked so much better. Then notice how the gaming industry has taken a step backwards to the way online gaming worked in the 90's (because it's easier to program I'm sure) and is trying to pass it off as progress. It's thanks to pawns like you that they can get away with such a ploy. All a company has to do is say "we are right" and you'll stand right in front of them to gladly refute anyone who would dare speak against your masters.
o btw. Dedicated servers have "private matches" too. It's called putting a password on the server if you want to control who can and cannot join, and it's STILL a step up because you don't have to go out of your way to invite the person into the match, they can just join on their own. So uhh... yeah.
