Subject: Halo 3 shutting down?

Is Halo 3 shutting down next January, or is my buddy bull-blam!- me? I kinda know he is, but I don't want it to happen to me like it did to those Halo 2 players.

As far as I know, no xbox 360 game multiplayer was ever discontinued. If there was, than I'm plain ignorant. But, if Bungie is going to give Reach full control to 343i on the 7/7, then probably Halo 3 servers will too. Just my guess and opinion.

343i is owned by Microsoft, which owns Xbox, and I don't see any reasons for shutting down their flagship. However, 343, will they take as good care too Halo 3 and Reach as Bungie did? What will happen to this forum when 343 takes over? What will happen to our precious Nameplates?

I guess 343i WILL, (just my opinion), update their website and forums, and probably will implant the nameplate options and everything we can change here, in their website. Or that, or Bungie will continue to let us sneak up on their website without making a noise just to change the settings.

Ok. Well I still want to work at Bungie :3

Halo 2 matchmaking was shut down because of Original XBL being Shut down. Uh, if halo 3 was shut down it would be because of 360 live being shut down. 360 will last a few more years, let's say 2015. Original Xbox Live lasted 4 and a half years from the launch of 360 live.

So, you've got until 2019 or something. Go nuts.

I really hope thats just a rumour. I've never heard of a xbox 360 game shutting down its servers.

Oh sorry did i crack your visor, here, now yoour helmets cracked, now your visor isn't lonely. Wheres Mah Dooble EXP!

I very seriously doubt they will soon, it may when the new xbox comes out, microsoft may keep it going, as far as i know it could shut down tomorrow, or go on forever, but it seems that they will keep it going for a while.

EA shuts down the multiplayer servers to their games all the time if they aren't popular. Although, most of the time it applies to their sports games like Madden or NBA Live.

I just think Microsoft won't close down the servers for one of their best games.

Your friend is a lying dirtbag. Halo 3 won't shut down unless Microsoft shuts down xbox live for 360 games like they did with the old xbox.
