OATMEAL? Are you crazy?!

...that the server that Halo 3 runs on will be shut down since Bungie no longer runs Halo... is this true? Because if this happens it will probably be for the purpose of getting more people to play the terrible (in comparison) multiplayer of Reach. It isn't that bad, but compared to Halo 3...

Pretty much, I just got back into Halo 3 recently and I wondered how long the game would stay online. Also, if the server does shut down (it better not) will I only be able to play solo campaign?

Um... no. No they do not run on the same servers.

But regardless, of course Halo 3 isn't going anywhere. That's ridiculous mate.

No mate. No they don't.

In May of 2010 the Halo: Reach Beta was released. On day one of the public beta (when it was open to everybody and not just those who snagged an early code), the servers of Halo: Reach crashed. This caused chaos in Bungie Studios, and it was reflected by the state of the public forums here on Bungie.net. Bungie managed to fix the servers, claiming that the high number of people overwhelmed them.

Shortly before Halo: Reach was released, Halo 3 switched to these servers- the Halo: Reach beta servers, as they now worked and would be able to work under the (expected) lower population. When Halo: Reach was open to the public, it received its own servers.

Halo 3 currently uses the Halo: Reach Beta servers. It does not, however, share the same server as Halo: Reach does at the moment.
