I was a regular at this game(halo and halo2). Everyday I would log on and play for hours. The only reason I have an xbox was to play halo and the only reason I got xbox live was to play halo2 online. Through college my whole floor would have halo parties and when halo2 came out we drove an hour away to stand in line for 5 hours to get our 6 copies so the floor could all play together through the network.
It makes me sad to see halo fall like this. You came out with two new maps and I havent seen over 30k people on. Halo Reach is the old junker car. Its the only thing you could afford. Its not worth fixing so you're gonna drive it into the ground. Dont get me wrong you'll do minor tweeks to keep some things going but thats it.
Way to destroy, in my opinon, the best video game series ever, Halo and Halo2, with Reach.
I dont care if you flame this or ban me for some rule that you made up, because like your game, I'll probably (90%) won't ever log back on. I'm not going to destroy my halo helmet or melt my games but they will collect dust.
