Shutting down the Halo 3 servers. I'm sure there are alot of people like me that enjoy this game, probably even more than Reach. But this is quoted from the nameplate section of the site, (where you change your nameplate in Reach) under the Halo 3 selection.

"Halo 3

If you Finish the Fight (or even start one in Halo 3 over Xbox Live), we'll enable this nameplate for your efforts.

If you haven't yet played any Halo 3, don't worry, you still have time to get some games in."

"Still have time to get some games in"?! DON'T DO IT! I have plenty of replay value still in this game, and some achievements none-the-less.

I changed usernames to match my gamertag. My original account, wambo114, was created when I got xbox live. I'm a 2007 kid really!

Technically, Bungie already did shut down the Halo 3 servers, when they moved it to the Reach servers. So, if they ever do shut down the Halo 3 servers, they would also be shutting down Reach.

Its not as if Microsoft is discontinuing support, like they did with original xbox games (Halo 2.) The only thing different is that Reach is now out, and a lot of people are playing it.

As long as enough fans continue to play Halo 3, we won't need to worry about Bungie shutting it down - It's really up to the fans to make it worth it for Bungie to keep Halo 3 running.

They'll Most likely Shut down Servers Some time after the Xbox 720 is out.

Condoms.

At least I'm going into battle protected. Haha


Yea, the last thing you want is are some elites strapped your your back while a grunt massages your nuts unprotected.

We've got two years minimum. However, I would plan for at LEAST 5 or 6 more years, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's upwards of 7 to 10.

By the time Halo 3 gets shut down you'll be sick of it anyway. Have no fear.
Can you honestly see yourself playing the Xbox in 10 years?

Well let's see. I've already been playing for 9 years. Coming up on 10.
10 more sounds pretty sweet. We'll just have another sexier Xbox by then I'm sure.

After the poor performance that is Reach, I'm about ready to stop playing. But if you think you'll be gaming in 10years, good on you.

"I'll tell you right now, if you ever see someone called ll wa1do ll... leave the game immediately. My friend knows him, I've been in his party a few times, do not mess with this guy. From what I've heard, he's the real deal. I also heard someone made a guy named Wa2do (similar to his name) and then he hacked that guy and boosted off his level." -From Minou on Bungie.net

I'd be so happy if Bungie shut off the H3 servers.

Bungie's not like EA, the game has hopefully 5 more years. I hope they ARE thinking about re-doing Halo with online play, or bringing Halo and Halo 2 back on the same disc, maybe no matchmaking but at least online customs :)

Can't wait for the Halo 3 servers to get shut down. That way they can focus all of their server power on Halo reach. Also can't wait for that day to come so all the whiners who can't adjust to change get owned.
