Subject: How long left..?! :/

All i keep hearing lately is speculation that some time in the near future halo 3 servers will shut off just as halo 2 did.. However im confused by this?! Halo 2 was shut off as halo 3 was its successor in so many ways (granted there'll be many players that would still prefer 2 to 3) but fact of the matter was, the 2 multiplayers were very much the same principle with minor tweeks.. So one having to give way for another seems only natural..

The issue i have however is, why would 3 be shut off? what's halo 3's successor? it sure as hell isn't Reach..

I loved the halo franchise cos' it combines an awesome story with fantastic pick up and playability and the multiplayer has that Extremely competetive edge..

Reach? this is just a fancy version of COD.. campers / noob weapons and perks (equipment) .. No longer is it a game of skill its just a retards paradise for Noobs..

For me, some guy sprinting round with a sword lungin miles at me every 5 seconds becomes quite tedious and offputting.!! Give me a skilled multiplayer game anyday.!!

-- Gotta hand it to em; they screwed up with REACH so much!! This leaves me VERY little hope for the future halo trilogy to come :( ...

I still hold hope that all the TRUE halo fans are gonna flood back to 3.. maybe its just a dream, but.. aslong as there's hope.!!

Winner of the 2012 Lurker of the Year award.

I'm watching you.

All these rumors about H3 being shut down are getting annoying. Damn you internet!

H2 was shut down because all original xbox titles were shut down by Microsoft. That's all there is to it. H3 will probably be shut down when all the current xbox titles are shut down in the distant future. This includes H3, ODST, Reach, H4, etc...

The technical thing that NO ONE seems to get is that:
-the servers for Halo 2 where required to host the games played.
-the servers (actually the single server) for Halo 3 is required to FIND games.

So even if the Halo 3 server was shut down, and as long as Xbox Live was online, you could still play online, just not matchmaking.

Agreed. I liked Reach as a game, but it wasn't better than Halo 3. Not even close.
