Subject: Halo 3 is NOT shutting down

Have faith in me

So, many rumors about Halo 3. Especially about the shutdown of the servers. Its not gonna happen. Lemme explain in the simplest way.
1. Halo 3 and Reach are on the same servers
2. Reach is popular
3. Reach will never shut down
4. Xbox will never shut down
5. Because Reach and Xbox will never shut down, neither will Halo 3

Definition of Rumor:
1. a story or statement in general circulation without confirmation or certainty as to facts

2. gossip; hearsay

Rumors are rumors. They could be true but at least 90% of the time they arent. If you hear a rumor about Halo 3 shutting down, think of the possibilities of Reach.
With Reach on the servers, Halo 3 will stand by forever.

I've heard that said a lot these past couple weeks. Is that a recent change? Where did you hear that?

Halo 3 servers will shut down only if Xbox LIVE (on the 360) is terminated.

Reach is popular?!?! Look at the statistics for Halo 3 when it came out...way more people played it. Now look at Halo 3's population. Halo 3's servers WILL shut down eventually, just like Reach's will. Eventually Microsoft will move onto their next version of Xbox Live on a new system and most likely knock off these games. That'll be a sad, sad day...

Bouncing between here and Waypoint. When I get banned from one I go to the other,

I would shut the servers down for the SOLE purpose of seeing Bnet flip out.

What I mean about popular is that people play it a lot. I'm not saying theres a LOT of people, but most of the friends on my list have Reach but not Halo 3.

Halo 3's servers WILL shut down eventually, just like Reach's will. Eventually Microsoft will move onto their next version of Xbox Live on a new system and most likely knock off these games. That'll be a sad, sad day...

Yes, eventually it WILL shut down, but not anytime soon. Xbox 360 is probably the most populated console right now. Yes, the Playstation 3 is, but Xbox 360's been here since when, 07? 08? The Xbox 360 will be here for another 3-5 years for sure. So, don't get worried about it yet. They'll probably make Halo 4 and then make a new console, or the other way around. If not, Halo 5 (which I hope they make for many reasons), will be on the new console.

It happened with the Reach beta.

No- after the Reach Beta Halo 3 was moved to the Halo: Reach Beta servers, fixed after their initial crash and capable of handling the expected lower population Halo 3 would have. Reach got their own servers. So if that's what people are talking about, then they're wrong, because they don't share the same servers.

I thought something more recent might have happened since I only started hearing people say that in the last week or two.
