The multiplayer servers for the PC version of Halo 2 will be shut down next month

1/20/13 2:20pm

The folks over at Halo Waypoint have announced that they will finally be pulling the plug on the multiplayer servers for the PC version of Halo 2

Why are the servers being shut down after nearly six years of service? Well, there aren’t too many people playing the game any more. In fact, 343 Industries hasn’t been able to find more than 20 players during the routine server scans that have been performed over the past few months. So as of February 15, Halo 2 will be officially offline forever. 
 
I’m sure this news may sound sad to some Halo fans (especially to these 20 people in particular) but maintaining servers can be very expensive and keeping them online for so few people isn’t a very good idea in all honesty. But hey, at least these fans can say this PC port had about as much longevity as the original Xbox version. 
 
So long Halo 2. You’ve had a good run.

Using a service with the PC version is a lot going on at this time. It is usually will be a lot of difference between one version to another version. Fishing Seattle

A version of the game for home computers should indeed not be used for any other version. You can see there will be a difference in specification from there. springfield armory rifles

PC games are different from existing games on the console. You can see the difference by looking at a graphic display of the more opaque usual. http://www.freemerchantaccount.org/reviews/charge-com-review/

The PC version of the game is something that is awaited by those who do not have a console. There are many types of consoles that they need, but they only have a PC only. http://www.mrrwheels.com/porsche-wheels.html

Playing games using a computer version of the home is different from the other versions. Most people do not know the difference other than just control. http://watchhousemdonline.com/

Tegelikult iga päev ma alati leida vastupidiseid tõendeid. Seal on nii palju hämmastav inimesi pühendunud ja andekaid seal, kes otsivad täiuslikkust viisil, mis ei ole kunagi ette kujutada, mida suurimaid korporatsioone maailmas küll. thebeachdepot.com
