Subject: Halo 3 servers to be shut down forever?

I'm the best shot around here!

Somebody posted on facebook about Halo 3 server will soon be shutdown forever. Can anybody confirm this. I haven't seen a post from Bungie or Microsoft about this.

Are the original COD servers still up?

Don't believe silly people on a social networking site. If something like that were to happen, this would be the first place you'd hear about it.

No, Halo 3 is not being shut down.

no, how are people still this dumb? The H3 servers are the same ones used by reach... The only way for them to be taken down is by all of the xbox 360s servers to be taken down as well.

I remember when you told me this. I was devastated, but I've come to the realization now that even without Halo 3, there is still Reach, which is ultimately the better game.

Fact 2: European guys are hotter

I guess I can understand if you don't want to make out with guys in the US if they're so ugly, you should just say so though.

Halo 3 and Reach are on the same servers, so it'll be a while.

I would believe you if you said your father works for Microsoft and the servers will be shut down on April or May. But Feb 1? Who you kidding... They just don't shut down a game forever without some kind of notification months before they take a game offline. The same way they did the Halo 2 servers... it was let know by Bungie months before they shut it down forever.

So no i'm not going for a Feb 1st date without Bungie or somebody announces it at Microsoft. Maybe your father means Feb 1st 2012?

Your an idiot... Screamo was joking, and its amazing how all of you take him seriously.... The H3 servers run on the xbox 360s servers. H3 cannot go offline until the next console is brought out, and then after the next console is out it will still be about 2 years until the 360 servers are shut down.

We are talking a good 5 years at least

Please drop price of ODST or at least put maps on marketplace Bungie! :(

Nope. Halo 3 for life.

I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

The Halo 3 servers are not being shut down. At least, not any time soon. Maybe in years to come Microsoft might shut down the servers, just like they did to Halo 2. :/

Quite a bit of hostility of lesser knowledge. Loss of respect this generation has brought upon us. Screamo might have been joking, but theres no voice that reads it in a sarcastic tone, or smiles with a joking face.

Thank you Relined.

I didn't see the sarcasm in his post? Also somebody else posted that the same guy told him that. Its Sad this community is all about flaming. Good thing is that Moderates are banning members that try to flame, especially over people that ask a simple question that they didn't know. Just say I believe the guy is playing, not that i'm a idiot.

"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

Way to be an ass. Nice to know that you're upholding the 12 year old gamer standard.

I don't believe anybody said they believe Screamo specifically. Showtime asked for verification due to rumours being circulated by other sources. When Screamo made his "sarcastic" comment, Showtime merely asked him to back up something that Screamo stated as fact. I'm glad you have a telepathic connection to him that let's you know he's not being serious but the rest of us don't.

Have a Midol and get over it.
