Best original Xbox game besides Halo 1/2

The 360's servers are definitely dwindling but still active. I mean there are a bunch of notable games with active populations, the X1 has given a boost to those servers as well. Black Ops II is actually listed among the most played games on X1.

Well. Some games are still active. Majority aren't. (In Oceania at-least, different geographical locations obviously have differences.)
But then again, allot of Xbox One games aren't very active either, like Halo Wars: Definitive Edition and Halo Wars 2.

The original Xbox is a different story. It had a small userbase, a much smaller number of notable online games, and it was apparently hindering 360 improvements. 360 games are also an incentive to being a Gold user. Obviously there would be more fervor about 360 servers shutting down. For OG Xbox, I feel it was mostly Halo 2 fans that were upset.

And Microsoft can leverage the same argument against the Xbox 360 online services at some point.
It's not a matter of if they get shut down, but when.

 

Most games do not have active online populations, that's expected and not exclusive to Xbox.

Yeah... no shit. We know there is a "when." Nobody is arguing the 360 servers will be up forever. I am pointing out large userbase, active games, streaming apps and BC might be keeping those servers running longer. 360 servers have also been up longer than OG Xbox servers ever were.
