Subject: Is Halo 3 really dead?

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

I'm still trying to hit my 50, and Halo 3 has a nice population every day, but most players consider it dead forever. I hope more players will come back to it, once they realize COD has horrible multiplayer and Reach's competitive multiplayer isn't much better. I'd like to think the game will make a comeback, but I don't know...what do you guys think? Is the population going to grow again, or are Halo 3's glory days over for good?

Halo 3's glory days are over, but it isn't dead. It stills has a steady population.

Team Slayer and even MLG has a decent amount of players. I think it won't be until Halo 4 comes out that Halo 3 gets more empty.

I have a feeling as the monhts go by and get closer to Halo 4 Halo 3 will get a bit more crowded since H4 is going to contunie story wise where H3 left off so ppl who never played it or want a refrsher will return.

As for me, I never left Halo 3. Been here since it came out on midnight release playing on multiple accounts.

Halo 3. Everlasting.

I think that H3has earned a well deserved rest as its glory days were over before I picked it up due to Machinima two years ago.

But it still has a steady stream of players which is great. I am all for the new life of Halo but H3 is my first and only. Its still a great game to play.

Heck yes. First game I had when I got my 360, and haven't stopped playing since....

Yes, and I think it's the best Halo. I honestly am almost hoping Halo 4 doesn't release, just to keep Halo 3 on top. We'll see.

My third montage!

I've played a few matches in the last few days. I had no problem finding matches in BTB even though it says the population was only a few hundred.

As long as there a few thousand playing it will live on.

yes, ever since odst came out. it locked me out of a ton of playlists

Boltshot = mini shotgun

It had less than 8000 people playing today. I ended up with derankers and people with lag switches almost every game today, too.

Halo 3 was the best Halo, it has everything and will never be topped unless Halo 4 seems to be overly amazing.

I honestly don't know HOW Halo 3 could be topped. It simply succeeded on all fronts, and maintained that classic Halo feel...

Halo 3's glory days are over. None of my friends play it at all anymore. But it isn't dead, lately I can find matches very easily.

  • 09.03.2011 11:02 AM PDT

My friend and I are playing Halo 3 right now. Problem is, we run into a lot of derankers in Team Slayer.

Yeah, the game seems to be populated with quite a few derankers....try Lone Wolves!

Yeah because you are a foreigner. Finding another team of mexicans, is not considered finding foreigners to you.

No, because Halo 3 operates on a peer-to-peer network, which basically means that it doesn't use servers. The matchmaking option is actually part of the game, but the online is transfered with the peer-to-peer. Shutting down Halo 3 means shutting down Xbox Live.

Halo 3 isn't dead. It's just that everybody is an idiot who thinks Reach is better
