halo 2: reason For 100 friend limit On xbox Live
Okay Geek Team
I only have about 20 or so friends on Xbox live, so I’ve never run into this problem myself, but I do know a few people who wish the 100 friend limit went bye bye. Microsoft never came out and told us the reason why there was a limit when the service moved over to the 360. It seems like we may have gotten our answer. G4, of all people, put up an exclusive story on their site today about receiving a tip from someone working within the MS walls. Apparently, the sole reason for there being a 100 friend cap is none other than Halo 2.
Seems like a patch can’t fix it, because obviously, if that was all it would’ve been fixed already. So for the moment there’s no real solution except hope people stop playing Halo 2, but that doesn’t seem likely as it’s the top game played on Live from the original Xbox every single week. MS hopes that Halo: ODST will convert those last remaining Halo 2 players over to 3 and ODST when it’s released, but don’t count on it. If ODST plays just like Halo 3, in terms of multiplayer, then don’t get your hopes up. Some aren’t fond of the changes from 2 to 3.
