Yea, Burnout Revenge, LotR Battle For Middle Earth and Battlefield Modern Combat are 3 of the oldest EA games that still have servers active so I would not be surprised if those were next.

From what I can recall, Burnout is not very hard, but it is time consuming. there is an achievement where you need 5 or 6 people as well.

The leaderboards no longer update for LotR BFME so that makes some of the leaderboards specific achievements difficult to get unless you know someone who is ranked in the game. Other than that, the online are pretty easy and can be boosted with one other person.

The servers for Battlefield MC are a nightmare. There are always games being played, but for the most part it is just people griefing and team killing. Also certain users know how to crash servers so even if you do qualify to get achievements in the current game,the achievement will not pop until the next game is loading, so if the game crashes you do not get credit. Also party chat is hit or miss and will often kick you out of games so it makes it difficult to coordinate some of the achievements. Private chat does work though. Finally there is a 500 games played achievement which will take 40-50 hours even if you are doing 1v1 boosting. This one is not for the faint of heart.

We need a list of XBOX titles that have free DLC like KOTOR so we can get it before it's too late .

Here is a list that was cobbled together by some CAGs:

Beat me to it. Just a note, go through the thread as the OP isn't completely up to date.

So today is the last day to play original xbox games on live (or is it tommrow?) I read a article on vgchartz that if you play Halo 2 before the servers shutdown they will give u a treat in halo reach. Whatever that's supposed to mean.

I wouldn't be surprised if they went down for good around when they usually put up XBL marketplace content. I'd say if you want to play I would play today.

Any other info on what you get if you play Halo 2? I might have to play a couple games tonight for old time's sake.

I think it's an invite to the Beta.

I hope they don't shut the servers down for Rock Band some day.

Tiger 08 is going, geez, I have a load of achievements still to get in that and I've not even opened 09 or 10 yet

Ha, I always envision some nightmare scenario where Rock Band suddenly has some secret contract expire and suddenly all DLC is no longer playable. Gamer apocalypse.

Need to get Yavin Station for KOTOR, Phantom Dust's DLC and maybe one last round of Crimson Skies in today. Sigh. Being able to have more than 100 friends is still a ing shitty trade for shutting down all these games, so I hope they have more in mind for XBL than just that.

Is Xbox DLC free now for those that can get it or are they still charging for stuff up to the shutdown?

Should I open my sealed games to download the DLC ?

I'll never be able to again if I don't .

The vast majority of XBox 1 DLC has always been free. I believe some Project Gotham 2 content costs money and still does even now, but that's about it.

Yes, definitely. You never know. If you get the urge to play via XBConnect or something, you're going to want that DLC. It's not like they're worth anything sealed anyway.

Just finished up a few minutes ago, played some Halo 2 for a while, then played some Crimson Skies. Had a pretty decent round after two or three matches, and then shut it down. In melodramatic terms, this is definitely the end of an era.

And holy crap is the XBox quiet compared to the 360.

Watching the live stream on Giant Bomb, see you in the Halo 2 section!

That or them closing down the servers all of a sudden wouldn't surprise me. It's EA after all.

Rock Band isn't an EA game. It's Harmonix/MTV Games.
