With Microsoft's announcement that they're discontinuing online service for the first Xbox's games, the still-popular Halo 2 has two months more before taking its final bow. Saddened by this turn of events, Bungie is planning to pay tribute to one of their most successful titles with a bang, announcing an online sendoff on Xbox Live.

Here's what the devs posted on their blog:

We're all saddened at the realization that an era is coming to an end but looking back, we're incredibly fortunate to have had such a great run and such strong support from our fans. Halo 2 has been at or near the top of the Xbox LIVE charts for original games since it launched over five years ago. We're extremely thankful to everyone who has played, enjoyed and supported Halo 2 over Xbox LIVE. We've had some great fun together, including far too many humpday losses to even recount.

That said, mark your calendars now - on April 14th let's all rally to go online for one last hoorah. One final farewell and one final opportunity for all of you to kick our asses at Halo 2.

Further details will be announced through the blog in the coming weeks, so we'll just keep you posted about their April 14 event.
