Blame Halo 2 for Xbox LIVE 100 Friend Limit

Are you so popular that you need more than 100 friends on Xbox LIVE? Which is as you may already know, the limit for the amount of friends you can have on the service. Some are and some aren’t. However, the 100-limit cap has stayed the way it is thanks to one shooter that brought on a new online gaming age to consoles.

Halo 2 is to blame. According to G4 report, the game’s online activity is still so popular that the game still tops the weekly “Original Xbox Top Live Titles”. However, all that enjoyment of players still going at it on Halo 2 is causing your friend cap to stay at 100.

Apparently, a “high-level Microsoft source” told G4 that thanks to Halo 2‘s popularity, the friend cap hasn’t changed. He wouldn’t go into detail on exactly how, though.

Too bad, popular peoples.
