Hate Xbox Live's 100 friend limit? Blame Halo 2

Hey Mr. or Ms. Popular, is the inability to have more than 100 Xbox Live friends the only fly buzzing around the delicious cake that is your perfect life? Well, we can't help you, but we can give you something to blame: Halo 2.

Speaking with a "high level source," G4 discovered that Halo 2's still-active community is the main reason you can't complete preparations for your 101-person online orgy.

Since Halo 2 is an original Xbox game, it adheres to the original Xbox's technical limits. The exact specifics of why Microsoft can't just patch the whole darn thing weren't given, but suffice it to say, they can't. Otherwise, they'd have already done it.

So that's that. G4 recommends that you pester Microsoft until they cave and find a way to up the friend count. We think that's a good idea. So then, get to it!
