I heard double XP weekend is ending with the release of Reach, but I greatly doubt all multi-player will be disabled. Is that what you meant by "servers"?

They will in about 3 years just like halo 2

The Halo 3 servers will shutdown the same time as the Reach servers and every other XBOX 360 game.

No, I think it will stay for awhile sense they have so many people still playing and a lot of people will keep playing it after reach as well. Look at how well Halo 2 went until it was shut down.

Thank you for your answers guys, I'm still going to play halo3. I'm not a big fan of reach.

  • 08.17.2010 8:43 PM PDT

The Halo 3 servers were shut down. Halo 3 was moved to the Halo: Reach Beta servers (the ones we played the beta on). This is also why things such as the population count don't work anymore in Halo 3, but whatever!
The point being that servers were switch. Reach will be using brand new, fancy, shiny servers. 3 is on the beta ones.

Go Reach.

Nah they'll definitely keep the Halo 3 servers up for years after Reach comes out, because Reach just isn't quite the same as Halo 3 :) Although I CANNOT wait for Reach. Recon helmet and Gamestop exclusive Mark V Multi-Task armor HERE I COME!!!!

Wait, I thought that the Halo 3 servers were just integrated into the Reach servers and the old Halo 3 servers were destroyed. Aren't the beta servers and the Reach servers the same thing?

OT: For Halo 3 to be shut down, Reach would also have to be shut down, and I don't see that happening anytime soon.

not a fan of the class - type battling? or just used to halo 3?

Doubt it, Halo 3 is to big of a game there might be less playlist with reach, but they might shut down the servers similar to Halo 2, if there not planning to keep the servers for 360 games when a new console is released.

No.

Bungie has already put Halo 3 in its own little corner on the new Reach servers, just like they did for Halo 2 when 3 came out.

Bungie is not planning on taking halo 3 down. period. If it was up to them halo 2 would still be supported but alas, all games from the original generation X-Box are no longer supported on XBL. I have a feeling that halo 3 will be around for a very long time and that it won't be bungie that eventually pulls the plug on this amazing game.

The one thing you desire most in this world is something you'll never get. My desire is love. So far, my desire follows the phrase to the letter.
