Despite earlier announcements made by 343 Industries community manager Jessica Shea that Halo 2 multiplayer support on the PC would be dropped by mid-February, it looks like fans will be able to hold on for at least a little while longer, maybe even more.

Designer David Ellis recently announced that Halo 2 multiplayer support on the PC will be extended to June while also hinting that the team was possibly looking into “further support options.”

“Halo 2 PC support extended through June 2013 while we investigate further support options,” Ellis stated on Twitter.

No reasoning for the sudden change of plans was communicated, but hey, whatever, right? Halo 2 fans on the PC – all 20 of you – can now look forward to fragging your way into the Summer, maybe even longer.

Thanks, CVG.
