Subject: Halo 3 shutting down?

If you go to the nameplates page, to get the (3) symbol for your nameplate on Reach, it says:


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

Could that be proof H3 WILL shut down? :(

I play games for gameplay, not silly gimmicks

H3 MM warrior

Reach S7, 8 and 9 arena warrior.

H4 MM legend

H3 runs on the 360s servers... It cannot go down until the 360s serves are all shut down. That is still a long time from now, at least a good 5-8 years

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.

As long as the xbl servers are up Halo 3 won't be going anywhere. What some ppl don't understand is the only reason Halo 2 went away was becasue the original xbl servers were shutting down. If they shut down halo 3 then all of xbl would be gone too . . .

I wish there were more active Halo 3 players. :/
If anyone wants to do the vidmasters add me,

I don't see this happening anytime soon.. Halo3 is still one of the most popular games out there and if they were to turn the servers off they would be making a big mistake

Think your getting confused between the xbl servers and bungies own servers. xbl does most of the MM linking of players, but it does pull stats from bungies servers to do this ... also at games end stats get sent from ur xbox through to bungie.

So yes, xbl will be around for a LONG time ... but without bungies servers in the mix that dont account for squat.

And yes, bungie have stated support, but expect this is more "as long as we have online UU player share" than a particular number of years.
