According to Gamespy, Halo PC multiplayer will stop forever on May 1st, which means no internet matchmaking, just LAN or play on campaign, because the game is outdated, but Halo Custom Edition will still keep on going.

If this is true........../wrists

I dont think this is real.

I have talked to my friends over at the POQ clan (They are like Halo experts, their lives revolve around Halo) and they say that it is just a hoax that was created by someone as a joke, and then it was spread accross the internet by someone who saw it.

The rumors are likely untrue, keep on playing and enjoy it. Halo PC has more players than Halo 2 even does. They wouldnt cancel something like that.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Don't think its real... If Starcraft is still playable I don't see why Halo shouldn't be. If anything Halo 2 Vista is obsolete and is being discontinued =P

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

I see no mention of this on the GameSpy site.

No doubt. I wonder if MS has to pay a fee to continue GameSpy service?

All I ask is that you don't try to capture me.

I believe this is the source of the rumor, but according to POQ, it's fake. I'm pretty sure that Gamespy (and Bungie) woulda said something if this were true.

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Maybe, maybe not. When the official Bungie U.S. and E.U. servers were taken down, all 32 of them...( i think?) nobody said anything. Anyway, there is always direct ip, so the devoted will have that forever.

For a while there were official servers for H2V. I think they were repurposed Halo PC servers. Now they're gone.

Yes, Bungie told us before the Halo PC server wipeout to expect some special news coming up...rofl.

You'd be surprised at how many old, rarely-played games GameSpy hosts. It'd be crazy for them to stop hosting halo PC, seeing as it's one of the most popular PC games that's lasted a long time and relies on their servers.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Meaning when I finish My Halo Custom Edition Grifball map will be played alot!

You a clan member, ally, player, is PPS or just a forum browser?

I am PÕQ~Xæthon.

As far as we know, it was a hoax set up by someone to trick a friend, for april fools, but then go out of hand.

I doubt that picture was true as why would they cancel a game that is still very popular? People are still buying it, loads of people play it. Would seem pointless to cancel it.

Never curse a failure. Learn from your mistakes so that if you are lucky enough to get a second chance, you can avoid repeating the same mistakes. And have a greater outcome.

its not necisarially dead. last time i got on there were only a few dozen games going... Before halo 3 came out, there were hundreds...

Blizzard/Battle.net =/= Bungie/GameSpy.

Anyway, when I heard of this, I sought to come to the forums to see the community's reaction and I'm glad to see it's a hoax.
