KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

Kind of like Halo 2 is going to be taken off Live right now? It seems they just want two games going on Live at once, so it's logical to assume that once Halo: Reach comes out, Halo 3 will be taken off the server too, no?

eventually

defiantly not in the first year or so.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Depends if there is a major difference between the styles of gameplay, oh and the population is each game. I doubt it will go off anytime soon. It might go off in like 5-10 years :P

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

You would think so, but ODST is an add on really. Its still Halo 3 :ODST. When the game after Reach is released you would think Halo 3 will be shut off.

I am worried about Halo 2. Thousands of people still play Halo 2 Live and its a shame hey're removing it.

And yes, they ARE removing it.

It just makes me worried about what might happen to Halo 3 sometime.

I don't think that halo 3 is going to be going anywhere soon. I believe halo 3 will stay up for a significant time after Halo Reach comes out, unless Halo 3's numbers dip down drastically to like 5,000 unique players for more than 3 months after Halo Reach comes out, & honestly if Reach turns out to be that good are you going to care at all about the fate of Halo 3?

No they're not. That rumor was put to rest by Achronos.

Ya I searched all over the interwebs for teh proof that they were removing halo 2 and I haven't found any. So STHU & GTFO until you post a link to a new acticle and no some random person saying it on the forums.

EXTREME PREJUDICE

Halo 3 isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

If they dumped halo 2, the community would probably start a campagin aganst ms, as 10000 people still play it.

Also, read more it's not because they only want 2 shooters it's because Microsoft wants to drop all Xbox1 live so they can give 360 owners a larger friends list.

  • 09.06.2009 2:19 PM PDT

not for a while halo 2 is still online

Bungie and Microsoft have absolutely no plans to kill Halo 2 for the forseeable future. The OXM article that this false rumor was merely specutating that the friends list problem could be solved by killing Halo 2. You have nothing to worry about,

As for Halo 3...

posted by: Shishka
Anyway, we've mentioned this before, but we do not intend to drop Halo 3 when Reach is released. It is entirely likely that there will be a population shift that may prompt us to downsize the total number of Halo 3 playlists, and we may be even more careful with how we move the population around. But for now, sleep sweet, you princes of Maine. You kings of New England. The title of Overlord is mine to bear for some time yet.

They've also been bangin't that out for years.

If you couldn't sense the sarcastic tone in the air, than you are not fit for communication.
