Halo 2 PC Support Extended to June 2013

As previously mentioned 343 Industries had decided to shut down the Halo 2 PC Multiplayer servers on February 15th because of the dwindling population that still called those servers home. (Read Article Here)

Since the announcement, many Halo fans have been pouring into the Halo 2 servers to reminisce and get their last dosage of Halo 2 Multiplayer.

As of today, David Ellis, a designer for 343 Industries tweeted out some great news.  (view tweet source here)

And also directing thanks to community manager bsangel,

So Halo 2 PC servers have been since extended through to June 2013. This sparks the question about potential Halo 2 Anniversary rumors, because they stated that they’re investigating support options for the original, and why would they continue to support the original if a remake were to be in the works?

Until then Halo 2 PC support will last until June 2013 unless they figure out some options; perhaps trying to keep the servers open beyond June 2013.

No Theater Mode for Campaign or Spartan Ops

Unfortunately I have the be the bearer of bad news. 343 Industries did state in a bulletin following the early weeks of Halo 4’s launch answering questions, and one of them was asking if they had any plans to have Theater Mode support for Halo 4’s Campaign and/or Spartan Ops.

As of January 23rd, 2013 bs angel confirmed the bad news that at this point they have no plans to implement Theater mode support for Campaign or Spartan Ops. This does not rule it out completely, but it definitely rules it out for the time being. This is a sad day for many people who enjoy the artistic side of making machinimas or screenshots and for those who enjoy sharing those awesome moments, or moments you aren’t proud of but still can’t help sharing. I’m talking about you fails of the weak.
