Subject: Will Halo 3 really die? (specifically, MM)

Just wondering since I've seen a few threads saying that once CE2/Halo4 come out it's population will drop significantly...

I imagine that it will drop initially, but it will be a bit like COD4 - still good enough that people go back to it...

Anyway, thoughts? Do you think Halo 3 match-making will die with the onset of Halo 4 & CEA?

More than likely, it will suffer the same fate as Halo 2 :'(

Reach is a joke ged

With CEA No not at all, But Halo 4 however... If it returns halo to its former glory then yes most likely.

I would say it is unlikely to drop when the CE remake comes out just because the CE remakes multiplayer is a Reach map pack and Reach will still suck. However that said, Skyrim comes out at roughly the same time so I'm going to be switching to that.

As for Halo 4 it depends on what the multiplayer is like in that but there will be a population decrease on both Reach and Halo 3 when Halo 4 comes out.

Edit: DAMN YOU TRAVIS!

Halo 3 forever!

halo 3 still has a year and a half until its population will drop by almost 40%, but i still see it today with a population of 40k, 27k at the least. so the loyal halo 3 players still have time

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

I hope not, but it seems inevitable unfortunately.

I think that if Halo 4 plays the same as Halo 3 then Halo 3 will die by Halo 4.

If Halo 4 plays like Halo: Reach then Halo 3 shall live on!

hola

i hope not bc im sure as hell not playing reach and idk how halo 4 will be

doesn't afraid of anything

When H3 came out, Halo 2 was played in competitive and professional MLG for several YEARS before H3 was incorporated. It took a while for the professional community to move on. I imagine 60/40 percent semi-pro population in H3 and Reach respectively right now. People will actively play H3 through anniversary, but H4 might kill it.

I may seem to come across as a -blam!-, but I'm really just trying to help.

Well seeing Halo:CEA is just Reach's multiplayer with 7 new/old maps that isn't going to effect it much. But when Halo 4 launches my guess is it may drop even more significantly. But it will still thrive seeing it's multiplayer is still classic, I will definitely still play it.

But as with counter strike 1.6 it will always live.

  • 06.17.2011 5:46 PM PDT

Without me, it's just "Aweso".

All good things must come to an end, though hopefully a small, tight-knit, and dedicated community will remain, and continue playing.

We are all dying.

Some faster than others..........

H3 will NOT be killed by Bungie or 343i or anybody else.
however, there WON'T be anything special for Bungie Day.
and.....there are a lot of other pplz besides mexicans who still play H3.

I hate to see the day come when Halo 3 is overrun by only Mexicans but anyways back to the question. I think its gonna die either way when Halo 4 or some other amazing game comes out. This 28 I'll be migrating from Halo 3 to Gundam Dynasty Warriors 3. Though all I'll probably get from the matchmaking are just people from Japan so I won't know what the hell is going on or what they are saying.

CEA isn't big enough. But Halo 4 potentially might result in Halo 3's death.

The teaser was entirely in CGI and it's inconsistent with Halo 3's ending: the ship was heading towards the Legendary planet but there was no indication of the ship being in poor health, other than it's backside.

What about that Cortana Legends anime? That is not a top source for canon.

Anyways, go to the Xbox.com Halo 4 website and look at the background. There's no debris. The front of the ship is intact while the back of the ship is consistent with Halo 3's Legendary ending. But the wtf portal thing is still the same.

I could be wrong, but here's what the forward unto dawn looked like. Here's a closeup of the damaged portion. And here's the ship heading towards the legendary planet. And here's the background on the Halo 4 website. The reason why I believe the background is more canonical is because it's more detailed.

Probably not because it's on the 360.
