Microsoft are cutting the cord on the servers for original Xbox titles, meaning that Xbox 1 games can no longer be played across Xbox Live. All games, including the still strong Halo 2, will no longer be able to access Xbox Live, whether on the original console or through backwards compatibility on the Xbox 360.
The Xbox 360 implemented Xbox Originals program, which offers original Xbox 1 titles available for direct download off the Marketplace, will still be available. However, for those that have bought these games, any online portions will cease to function once the switch-off is completed on April the 15th.
Perhaps this move is to pave the way for new features such as an extended friends list, which was only restricted on the 360 due to the limitations of the original Xbox and it's Live features.
