Looks like Microsoft has finally decided to pull the plug on Xbox Live support for Original Xbox titles, and as of April 15th you will no longer be able to play any Original Xbox titles online. You can read the full letter from Marc Whitten over at the Gamerscore Blog. So if you’re still getting in some games of Halo 2 here and there, you might want to plan your big send off party now. Personally I say we get as many people we can get together for some Halo 2 action on the 14th to send the game off in style.

Update: Bungie has made a post over on their website as well. They are pushing to have everyone rally behind the game on the 14th for one final farewell. It says that there will be additional details in the weeks to come which hopefully means one last day of excitement for one of the best games on the original xbox.
