No more Halo 2 online! We need to have one last tribute to Halo 2 with a Halo 2 RUL Night in March.
Official details:
I wanted to let you know that on April 15, 2010 Microsoft will discontinue Xbox LIVE service for original Xbox consoles and games, including Xbox 1 games playable on Xbox 360. Our first step in this process will be to turn off auto-renewals for those members who only use Xbox LIVE on a v1 Xbox. While I can’t comment on the specifics, this change will allow us to continue evolving the LIVE service with new features and experiences that fully harness the power of Xbox 360 and the Xbox LIVE community. We did not make this decision lightly, but after careful consideration and review we realize that this decision will allow us unprecedented flexibility for future features.

Aww.... I don't play any of the original games online anymore, but it still feels kinda sad.
I might spend some time breaking old games out to see if I can find any players.___________________________View my Master Chief Live Action music video (Old costume)

The only game I play is JA on Original Xbox. It's all good though - you all know why they're doing this right? So they can move forth on making the current dashboard better. One thing they're going to do for sure is raise the friends list size. That's why they haven't yet, cause the original Xbox games wouldn't comply with more than a 100 friends on a list.
