Cut off support for Halo 3 to discourage players from playing it and encourage more people to either play Halo: Reach or Halo 4.


What they don't realize is that with Reach, they lost a lot of their diehard Halo fans and gained a few casuals, but if they decrease Halo functionality, those newly gained casuals will only switch to a different game.

343 has killed Halo. Unless H4 is a masterpiece that appeals to casuals and competetive players alike (like Halo 3/2 did), Halo is a dead game.


Basically this.

The only people that I know that play Reach are my tryhard friends. I call them tryhard because they think Reach takes skill and they think they are good at it.... this is due to them being aweful at Halo 3.

I don't talk to them anymore because I Hate on Reach all the time and they are lolreach fanboys..... which is ironic because Im the Halo lover.

The rest of my friends only play Halo 3..... basically the good people.


I know exactly what you mean, however, this is not the first time this happened. I agree people who play Halo: Reach are typically noobs and would suck at Halo 3. However, as a Halo fan that's been with the series from the beginning, this happens everytime a new Halo game comes out. People who stayed in Halo 2 considered people that played Halo 3 to be noobs. And people who were die hard veterans of Halo 1 considered Halo 2 players to be noobs. It's basically a cycle.

However, with Halo: Reach, never has the more veteran Halo community been so united against the newest game. My guess and my personal opinion is that Halo 3 has now become the legacy of the original Halo series and Halo: Reach basically threw out everything that made Halo, Halo and tried to make Halo: Reach more realistic and CoD-like.

People are worried that 343 will continue Halo 4 in the direction Bungie was going with Halo: Reach meaning Halo 3 will really become the last remaining legacy of the game the series that defined a decade and a generation. Long live Halo 3.


I agree.

I basically know for a fact that Halo 4 is going to be like Reach. We haven't seen much... but, there is sprint. There are fully customizable loadouts. There is a DMR......

Halo 3 is going to be the last good Halo....... sigh

Damn commercialism. Why doe every gaming company have to compete with CoD by making CoD.

Waffles > Pancakes. End of story.
I <3 Bungie :)

This news led me to start keeping track of my own stats as I play, meticulous? Maybe so, but worth it? Definitely. These stats, these games, really do contain some great memories from the past 4 years for me, so for the time being, I plan on recording my post data transfer stats. I plan on clinging on to this game as long as I can, and 343i can't do anything to stop me.

I wonder what's going to happen to CoD now that the Modern Warfare series is over. I doubt they'll go back to WWII.

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.

I wish they would, the original Call of Duty's were fantastic.

I prefer the Modern Warfare series over the original WWII games. However, I think the Modern Warfare series should've ended at Modern Warfare 2.

They should definitely still have Halo 3 Stats! A significant amount of people still play Halo 3 which can be seen from Bungie Day from Last Year! 20,000+ people were on playing Halo 3! Halo 2 went down because it wasn't an Xbox 360 game it was just an Xbox game! Halo 3 should still live on! Halo 3 came out on September 25th 2007! It is ridiculous to think that after only 3yrs, Halo 3 is already showing signs of being taken offline! It is a real shame, Reach isn't any better and Halo 4 doesn't come out till the Fall! So, if they have already stopped tracking Halo 3 stats. Then it just leaves the question. . . what are us Halo 3 players going to do for the next few months? This is ridiculous, even Halo waypoint has a link to Halo 3 but you can't track anything, it doesn't even take you to a website where you can look at your now untracked stats. It takes you to a site that just tells you the stats about Halo 3 (Rating, How many players at a time, etc!) This is -blam!- up!

Kind of sucks they aren't tracking stats but I can live. Halo 3 is still alive and well with tons of new players. I believe I heard something about them doing some update for Halo 3 over summer time but I can't be quoted on that.

Funny because the rumors I've heard was that sometime over the summer, 343 would shut down Halo 3's servers. I can't be quoted on that either since it was just rumors spread around by players on Xbox Live. No official sources can confirm nor deny these rumors.
