...so you mean you're bad.


No, I just really don't give a crap about ranked stuff. I like to play more than one game. I can play and get a good game on a 40 and that's good enough me.

I don't need to justify myself to people who think if you don't have a 50 your terrible at Halo 3. You may be better than me but that doesn't mean I can't hold my own.


Not saying your bad but your definitely not even close to some 50s especially me. Btw I'm ranked like 90 in the world. Also, would like to say RippinHeads is garbage he can't do anything without a radar and a shotgun I saw him in Mlg once, he looked like a blind squirrel looking for a nut. Of course I guarantee you are better than a lot of 50s (believe me I have seen a lot of bad 50s *cough* Rippinheads *cough*) they were probably boosted or bought and think they're cool with their shiny general until they go -19 then everyone knows they suck. What are you a force colonel?

I think the highest I ever made it too was 39. I'll try and remember the account. This was back in 2007/2008 when me and my friend loved to play doubles. Most 50's I know do suck and they never play in the playlist they had it in again.

I would play halo 3 if casuals were still playing it. Every time I try getting back to halo 3 I'm always playing against people who never quit halo 3 ever.


I know what you mean. I started playing again after about a 10 month break and it can be rather frustrating. BTB and TM are always full parties and often times they are all true 50s (they got skills and host). This is even catching on in SS which used to be a bunch of randoms vs. a bunch of randoms. RP is the ultimate 50 heaven, and id say 75% are legit. Im a 36 (not the greatest player in the world combined with WAY below average internet) and id say there are on average 3 50s, 2 40-49s, and 2 guys lower than me when i play RP. I dont think there is any kind of "hidden rank" in social either because im betting id be a 10 or 12 in RP if you could find out. Between getting pounded by the higher ranks and quitting out of all the zombie games (not rage quit...quit as soon as i know an infection game is imminent) theres just no way it would be any higher than that. Played a 6 man game last night with 4 50s, a 46, and me. I know it will never happen but if you put this game on dedicated servers i would be willing to go up against anyone. Not saying i would always win...far from it, but it would level the playing field a good bit. Halo3 is the best online shooter IMO. Give it dedis and there is just no competition...period.

To be fair I understand that it would be really hard to add to an already perfect game like halo 3. But that's no reason to give up and say ok lets just make ODST and Reach. 343I really has there work cut out for them but they better not f*** it up like reach. Lol Bungie said Halo was like there baby, why would you -blam!- your own baby?

There may not be a "I" in team, but there is a "I" in Win.

No game ever gets updates after a new one is released, its simple economics. Why keep trying the old thing if you have something new and shiny you can work on? I play halo 3 for a ton of reasons but some stick out way more than others. Once I got back into the groove of the game, I could out BR people who were less experienced with it than me. In Reach, lower skilled people can -blam!- you because it is so easy to catch on and with slower movement. Have you ever seen people strafe in reach like we all did back in Halo 3? I haven't because I'm pretty sure it doesn't work because you move to slow. Halo 3 is better than Reach its just that reach is newer so it gets a slight advantage. Although now it seems they are prety close because even the little kids are realizing it sucks. Seriously, I see more recruits and sergents and gunnery sargents all those lower ranks, I see them more in H3 now than back before Reach was realeased. That is telling me that people are leaving halo reach because it sucks. If 343 would add just little updates to halo 3 while still updating halo reach that would be kick ass. But it won't ever happen cuz they r building halo 4 now so 3 is pretty much running on the tiny little servers that no one cares about. I still play, but the game nonetheless is in its ending stages. It may be a year or more before they shut it off but its population will never be about 100,000 if it even gets that.

So your ranked 90 in the world but your XBL isn't linked? I find that funny, not saying you didn' forget your password for the linked account or something but we have no proof so I can't really believe you

Real account.

Join me as we make new friends from different communities!

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Not really.

It'll be dead soon enough. Give it a couple more years.

No kidding. Same here, I lost 5/6 team matches yesterday because we played a party of 50's. Not........fun.

over 23,000 people were on today. proves a lot for a 5 year old game
23,000 is impressive in the console world for a 5 year old game, but it should be higher. I wish console players would actually play the game they like over the game that's newest... It seems like most of them feel there's no other choice but the newest one. -_-'

PC gamers have a great mentality with it, in my opinion. If you think 23,000 for a 5 year old game is impressive, you should look at Counter-Strike. That's an 11 year old game (12 if you count the original mod) with 74,255 at peak today. That's beating Modern Warfare 3 easily.

Modern Warfare 3 peaks at 10x that number, unless you are referring to a aged tenure simlar to CS, or the PC version of MW3 which you may then be correct.
I was referring to the PC version of Mw3, not the Xbox 360 version. Mw3 is only on Steam so 100% of the legit population is shown through Steam. Both Counter-Strike 1.6/Counter-Strike: Source beat out Mw3 constantly on PC.

You're assuming that everyone has the same opinion as you.

if big team keeps rolling, I'll continue playing this game.........year after year after year


QFT&R.

I personally don't play much Halo 3 because it feels depressingly dead. I would honestly play the heck out of Halo 2 if it was still online, and I would devote my life to Halo 1 if it ever went on Xbox LIVE (I still play tons of it on Halo PC though), but Halo 3 just isn't as interesting as those two games if I'm being honest.

I also just wish someone would maintain it. I know the new game is out and all of that, but to me, that's no reason to abandon the old ones. I understand stopping DLC support, but the idea of stopping patches, not updating/consolidating playlists, and not just showing support (for example: 343's website does not display Halo 3 stats) for a 5-year-old game just because its predecessor is out now is kind of appalling to me.

That's part of why I don't play Halo 3 much anymore. The Team Mythic playlist still exists, and it still says you can play your new map hotness on this playlist. To me, that's a testament to how neglected the community is, and it just feels kind of oppressive. It's a weird feeling to describe, but it is, nevertheless, the reason that I don't like to play Halo 3. The day they give it some kind of patch or update the playlists, I will be on it again.


They did put halo 1 on xbox live they renamed it halo reach and added perks.




Ummm noo halo 1 was actually good....


I second this

I used to only play one game every day starting in 2007. That was known only as halo 3. I think for a good solid 3+ years I kept that up across multiple accounts playing everything from competitive ranked to silly social with friends. I did it all and I still feel like I can suck more out of this game. The best $60 I ever spent imo.

Fast Forwarding to present day it's a bit sadder. I barely play Halo 3 once or twice every 2 weeks and when I do get on a lot of playlists are impossible to play or just too frustrating to play anymore. Even social now is a chore. I can rack up 30+ kills on my team and still lose b/c I get paired with players that go -14 or more and they were actually trying to play lol

Then ranked, don't get me started on this mess. Team slayer for example isn't fun anymore which sucks. Tired of the host booters, derankers, and betrayers. I got on one of the older derp accounts I have and played ranked against the 47's-50's range only just to see the state of halo 3 ranked. It wasa pretty bad 2-3 hour expereince despite I ended my session with a good k/d ratio and some matches that were easy wins if it wasn't for derp teamates or other events like cheaters. More than half the games either my team or the other team had a guy deranking and even a few some people were host booting each other lol. They should rename team slayer to 'team derank' or team host boot' the way it plays now. i even watched a few live streams on jtv of 50's playing in it and getting host booted or having the unfortunate demise of losing because they had a dranker so I know it wasn't just me having a string of bad luck. I don't know how some do it, those Halo 3 players who play ranked alone with randoms day after day and deal with all this crap. It's just not as fun as ranked was back in 2007-2008 when bungie monitored ranked so cheating was a minimum.

To wrap up, is Halo 3 dead? I don't think so, I have a feeling quite a few will return before Halo 4 comes out but after it will be very empty indeed. If only Halo 3 had bot support. Then at least I could set up custom matches and have a somewhat decent time compared to no time once the population of the game goes completely away forever like most MP games. It's always been the biggest flaw in MP based games ... once the population dies the game is unplayable really if no bot support is added. I still play starwars battlefront II to this day despite the fact it was pulled from the xbox servers years ago ... it still has bot support so at least I can play the game still =)

Because I used this email I used to make a new account which locks it to that gamer tag was trying to get free xbl but my free accounts ran out :( The first time I ever got internet was for my 16th birthday only to use for halo 3 in 2007, I had to play it at my grandpa's house because I lived to far away to get good internet at my old house. So my sister had made an email account on a dial up connection and I used her email to make my account ITz DENI3D, of course I wish I knew that you can make an email in 3 minutes I would've done that but I had already put a 1 year code on it so that was the way it stayed. I don't care if you believe me that is the way it is. Ohh and my first isp was clearwire if you know what that is then you know you are very screwed to begin with because clearwire freaking sucks. Then I moved to the city and got Comcast. I have like -1500 xp because of disconnects and quitting because of really bad teammates. Feel free to message me on xbl I will probably call you a dip shi@@t though.
