Subject: Do you think Halo 3's servers will rise again?

Halo 3 is not dying. It still has thousands, sometimes even tens of thousands.

It is still quick and easy to find a match and is still fun to play.

Fiction has to be plausible. Reality is under no such constraint

i personally have gotten tired of halo 4 after a week and returned to halo 3 and i do think i'm not the only one....i've seen a spike in recent days of tens of thousands. sure it will never be hundreds of thousands again but it is still the most competitively ranked online game for me and i know i'm not alone.

I run Skirmish!!!

With the amount of foreigners on halo 3, not a chance in hell. When i get players from italy 4 games in a row, then after that i get mexico, finland and netherlands mixed into a game, followed by more stupid mexicans then to top off my wonderful evening of ranked halo 3, i get 4 out of 6 players from france... So no, if this keeps happening, this game doesn't have any bit of a chance left

I actually still play all the time, its just ranked is not as satisfying when all thes e people with garbage hosts are playing

EDIT: When i lose games because foreign kids pull host, it ruins halo 3. I personally hate foreign connection so much these days that i believe that 343i should not allow mexicans to play halo 3, well and italians, and fins, and french players, and people from the netherlands, and players from bum -blam!- south america..

It's more to do with the hosts, really. If the host isn't UK or US, it probably sucks. Not sure exactly why-anyone who's internet-savvy care to explain this?

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.

The good news is that it has a better chance of rising than the South.

its to do with the ping time.

eg U.S,U.K and ireland have quick communication with servers...about 40ms

while France and Italy have in the region of 120ms.

you can have high download speed as france has 100mbps nationwide but the server communication (ping) is slow so download speed means nothing for online gaming.

you can have a download speed of 1mbps and a ping of 50ms and that will give quick and reliable hosting plus play...any where in the region of ping time from 0-75ms should be enough for online requirments....hope that explains what you asked...tried explaining it as best as i can
