Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

I found THIS Disappointing.
I stood up until 12:00 AM Last Night, trying to see the servers crash and watch Halo 2 take its final moments on Xbox Live. It never happend. I stayed up real late and got nothing out of it.

So am I wanting to see Halo 2 go?
Of course not. It's one thing to say it's going to 12:00 AM on April 15th, but it's another not to do it. Its a great game, dont get me wrong. What makes me disappointed, is that if I leave the house, the servers could crash. I wouldn't get to see it.

Also, I read that many of us DID stay up all night last night. This is terrible to know, because they must of had school, or a job to attend the next morning.

So as you can see, I love the game. Im just scared im not going to get to see the XBL Servers crash.

We should mass spam Microsoft with phonecalls.

Let's be honest now, does Microsoft do anything right?

Video games are my favourite video games.

I'm a bit disappointed (we played epically well in a Containment Gulch War for our "final match"), but I'm more relieved that I get a few more matches with idiots making Yo Mamma jokes. c:

No regrets

First they never said it was going to happen at Midnight, Second they might not have had anyone around at that rediculous time to do it so it would make sense for them to be doing it sometime during the work day.

Ontop of all that maybe something else is happening, never know dude.

you cannot compare Halo 3 to Reach, Reach is not a game, its a disc in a plastic green case called pure fail.

Got it? good.

Well that's because there wasn't any specific time to hear in any of the official reports (which as a reminder Bungie's news feed is not.) :)

Thank you for calling Authorize.Net my name is Zach

You have to realize as well, this is not just a simple on/off switch that they flip. They are disabling servers that have been up for years and while it's unlikely it is possible that it could effect Live on the 360 as well. I'm not surprised that the whole thing is not down yet at all. But why complain about them not killing an awesome game at 12:00 AM PDT?

Formerly MetalGear08 (my 1st gt was changed to:Chroma 3000..so I made a new MetalGear08

This game actually helped me through about 2 years of my life i swear.

If I had a Rocket Launcher...

Shut up and get behind me... Sir!

The cable. I'm going to cut it.

Awesomeness would ensue.

It isn't an on-off switch, true.

I wouldn't be surprised if the servers were actually pulled across the day, to be honest. If it were me, Halo 2 would be the last one to go.

Or perhaps new developments have caused this?

It wouldn't surprise me if no servers are being turned off, but merely legacy titles will no longer be allowed to connect to allow for the software to be advanced without at some future point.

"Stood up"?

It does kinda suck that it's still playable.So much hype for nothing.
