Or.... You could just not play it.
Like I said, all the kids cheat. Why would you leave something online that's full of illegal activity? You probably cheat though.
It's not illegal to bridge host or standbye or host boot.. The only "illegal" thing is DDoSing, and it's not even that bad when used in Halo 3.. It's not like people are using the Storm Botnet to hit you offline.. It's also not like DDoSing is exclusive to Halo 3, either.

It sounds like you are just mad that you got cheated once. Reach is currently a terrible game, and even with "all the cheating", I'd rather play Halo 3.

I would follow Commview's advice, and not play it. 10,000 - 35,000 people still play Halo 3 daily. It's far from being dead.


I haven't been standby'd in years. I'm talking about ddosing, which is a federal offense. I've been cheated loads bro. multiple accounts with mlg 50s. everyone cheats now. any playlist you play is going have some kid with a shell booter nerding it up in his basement with his online gangster friends.
Like I said, the majority of the kids left online in Halo 3 are committing a crime when they play. Therefore Halo 3 should be taken offline.


You do realize that in order for them to DDOS you, 1: they would need multiple computers, possibly a very small botnet, 2: They would need YOUR ip address, and 3: they would have to UDP flood you on a specific port? Also, it simply isn't worth the effort.

If you're going to make things up:

everyone cheats now.Like I said, the majority of the kids left online in Halo 3 are committing a crime when they play.
Get your story straight.

There are the same amount of people cheating now, but just less people playing. This means that there is a higher concentration of cheaters. You claim that everyone cheats, which is obviously wrong. I play 50 high every day, and I hardly every get cheated, the only thing I have to deal with is terrible connection.

Public shell booters shouldn't even be a problem, as they are not strong at all. The most they will do is make you lag a little bit. Shell booters are used by heaps of people, most likely multiple people at the same time. The shells are unreliable and weak for the most part, so you shouldn't be worrying about them.

Do you play MLG in 3s or 4s? I have played a fair bit of MLG lately, but only in 2s. I haven't been cheated yet.

The only thing that should be taken offline are cheaters ;)

1: No, they just need the one PC. The botnet is accessed via a public GUI.

2. That's not hard at all.

3. Again, not hard. The shell GUI asks you to enter a port name.

What effort? DDoSing is so common on Halo 3 because of how easy and effective it is. That's the problem.. There is no effort..

Holy crap this is still going. I agree with OP too much cheating. It should be taken down or massively overhauled.

Some people still enjoy Halo 3. And if Bungie/i343 decides to take down a heavily populated next-gen server, there are going to be a lot of rages, maybe not just rages but actual riots because people get that serious. Think before you go off spouting nonsensical bull.

i agree i still love playing halo 3 online i got mad when they took halo 2 offline. halo 3 should stay i always see about 30k people on it or more!!

enjoy the silence

I started to play Halo 3 again a few days ago. And surprise surprise: I managed to get two achievements these days legally (like all of my others!). 1650/1750 now! 3 to go!

they didnt riot over halo 2 they just got mad. and it is low populated black ops has over 2 million people on


this is the problem: most people are afraid judge/go on games based on how many people play it- i go on halo 3 at least once a week and dont care how many peole are on it. if you want to go on a game, go on it, if you dont like it, dont go on it. theres usually a good 60,000 people on it which is good enough to find a game. and the OP listed ranked games, social games dont take EXP off you unless you quit.

  • 08.31.2011 4:37 AM PDT

how do you think people "host boot" ?

they flood your IP aka DDoSing!

but yeah deleting the halo 3 server would only create more Call of Duty players and get people off their xbox's :P

  • 08.31.2011 6:08 AM PDT

Well, it's not illegal if you like it...

Thing is, the Halo 3 Original Servers were Shut Down. They then were moved to the Reach servers. so shutting down Halo 3 would mean Halo: Reach Would Also Be Shut Down

Finally someone who can get an achievement without boosting in the 60 strong population of Team Mythic.

You can still play Halo 3 but most playlist are unplayable at peak times, its still a good game and always will be - more people MUST play it.

Magik Mike

who cares? Halo 3 had a great campaign, an amazing set of maps, and who cares about little kids? The only probmlem was the idiots who said they could 'teach' me to be good when they were worse than the little kids.

I think they put H3 on the old Reach BETA servers, not the Reach servers.

No.

i don't understand why they would take it down. what about recon? some people like h3 better than reach, besides, they won't take it down, there's 20,000 or more players online everyday

^^This.
If Reach suddenly stopped existing and whatnot, Halo 3's population would be stronger. I'm cool with that.
