Xbox Live is no more.

By Samuel T. McNeil, February 6th, 2010 in | 4 Comments

As of April 15, 2010 Microsoft will no longer offer online services for original Xbox users. You won't be able to play online with your original Xbox or original Xbox games, even if they port to the 360. You'd best buy Halo 2 for PC if you want to play it online.

You don't see this crap on PSN. Playstation has always and will always be my first choice. I have played both and with Microsoft your basically just paying for the same quality of service.

Notice: The difference between Halo 2 and Halo 3 is like 1.6 and Source in my opinion. So assuming that I cared about Xbox products I'd still want to be able to play Halo 2 online.

On a lighter note, Microsoft is saying (Unofficially) that they will be redirecting a lot of their interest into new updates for XBL. So those of you who have original Xbox's get ready for change.

Hmm am I the only one who finds it retarded that Microsoft is taking away a service that Xbox live gamers pay for? Are they seriously just going along with this crap? Well I guess the only way to play retro multiplayers in the future will be on the PC, unless player run dedicated servers can be put on consoles.

It'll be a day that is spoken of in those gaming history programs. Xbox Live defined the black box, revolutionised console gaming forever, and made us all realise that networking on the PC was much better and much cheaper.

The only positive I can think of was Halo 2's matchmaking system. It was revolutionary at the time. Console gaming is largely based on that system, even today. PC gaming on the other hand can't wait to see the back of it. MW2 springs instantly to mind.

There might even be Halo 3 for PC I think. Halo is garbage in my opinion though.

When I first glanced at the title, I thought you meant Live was done for the Xbox in general, not just original. I laughed, now I'm disappointed.

Wait a sec, there's Halo 2 on the PC? I thought there was only the first. :O
