== Goodbye! Halo 2! ==
Farewell! And I'm sorry i didn't make time to play you before servers closed! (I'll probably buy Vista now just to play Halo 2 online again.) [[User talk:Sean-147|The ODST are coming... for you.]] 03:39, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

I dunno man, but the same thing happens to me a lot of times. So you know that you're not the only one to have this problem. [[User talk:Ultra Force|Ultra Force]] 02:43, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
I get the same problem. Even though online is gone for it, I still go back and play but the ghosting images gets frustrating and sometimes unbearable. I always have to restart my 360 or return to the dashboard to get rid of the effect. I think Bungie should have tried patching that glitch and still should. If anyone knows how to get rid of that effect/bug, please say something. --[[User talk:Radical Edward2|RadicalEdward2]] 16:52, 1 December 2011 (EST)

==Closing Ceremonies==
I don't beleive the following statement from the closing ceremonies section is accurate:
"On April 15, 2010, the Halo 2 Multiplayer Servers were closed down by Microsoft. The reason for this shutdown originates from the fact that ''Halo 2'' was so hardwired into the Xbox LIVE service when it was released that it impedes the addition of new features being added on the Xbox 360 Console."
What I think should be changed:
# The first sentence should mention that all Xbox live support for original xbox games was discontinued, not just support of H2's servers.
# The shutdown wasn't only because of H2. Granted, H2 may have been one of the games holding Xbox Live back, but I seriously doubt it was the only one.
I don't have any real evidence to back up the corrections I suggested, other than remembering hearing about this on Xbox.com and Bungie.net. Also, 'm not sure if the original statement has any reliable sources to back it up or not, so I thought it would be better to discuss than just go ahead and change it.

Deleted levels[edit]

So wait,Siarra 117,Crows Nest,and Thauvo Highway were origionally in Halo 2.Thats wierd.Sith Venator 21:56, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Deleted Levels[edit]

The three levels were going to be Sierra 117, Crow's Nest and a mission between Quarantine Zone and Gravemind called Forerunner Tank. There also was a level after Chief jumped out of Cairo Station that was cut out. It involved fighting through the Carrier instead of using the bomb. --RadicalEdward2 01:02, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Plot[edit]

Should I begin writing the plot / per level storyline overview for Halo 2? I have it installed and am planning to play it again anyways. -- Drtomjenkins 11:46, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Update: Wikipedia has an excellent Plot (and Setting), should it be copied over to this article? -- Drtomjenkins 16:19, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Difficulty[edit]

Is it even possible to beat Halo 2 in its entirety on Legendary with all difficulty skulls on? I rage Halo 3 on Legendary all day but Heroic on H2 is just too much for me. --White Chocolate 05:05, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

  1. The first sentence should mention that all Xbox live support for original xbox games was discontinued, not just support of H2's servers.
