RIP Halo 3 :(

Hey guys,

I went on Halo 3 for a quick game yestarday, Social skirmish (which i used to play day in day out) had a whopping 59 people online..

I didn't find enough people in Skirmish to form a game, so i searched for a social slayer game (2500 online) and 6 out of the 8 people were generals with thousands of EXP, obviously not wanting to leave their hard work and hundreds of gameplay hours to rest

All together , there were just over 5,000 people online. It breaks my heart to see what i can call by far my most played game in such a deserted state. It's a far better game than Reach and CrapOps.

But why exactly has it been deserted so quickly? I mean, 10 or so months ago, there were tens of thousands online, maybe even hundreds of thousands. And that was in CoD MW2's prime, so it can't be because CoD has taken the fanbase, because many loyal fans continued to play Halo way after CoD's big launches.

Seriously, why has it been left?

PS.. I know it's an overasked question, but has there been ANY news regarding a 'Halo 4' game? I've heard rumours recently about 343 making a Halo 3 sequel with the Chief and Cortana after they've released the Halo CE remake.

Really? Well..I've learned something today....

there is still enough people to have fun with. tell all your cod and friends to blow it out there ### its time to play halo 3

There are tons of people on reach i guess people have either gotten bored with it or have moved on.

It was reach that did this.

I'm not surprised with all of the new great shooters out now. It is still a little sad to see the game dwindle down as I have such fond memories of the multiplayer.

Reach doesn't have the same appeal to me that H3 had. Idk what the difference is, I just don't have much fun playing Reach.mohfrontline

yeah, i used to play halo 3 all day, then my friends moved on to cod, and i just kind of did as well. reach just isnt the same at all

plus the dmr has nothing on the br. four shotting kids will never be the same

I played this recently and there were still tons of people on. You must have really bad timing.

I didn't know that! :P

you say that about halo 3. I think i was more concerned about how many people were flocking to halo 3 and didnt go back to 2. I admit that alot did go back, me being one of them. I think the CE AND 2 franchise were more popular and i think why theres some hints that bungie might be going backwards instead of fowards making an HD remake of Halo CE. On your quesiton, people do get tired of repetetive games fast. Halos and cods probably have the longest survival rate though.

Reach sucked away a bunch of the players. not unusual for the masses to gravitate towards thew new one in the series.

that said, last time I played (a week or two ago) there were still plenty of people. we played for a good chunk of the night, and the game/lobbies never skipped a beat (i.e. no horrible lag, no glitchers, nice full lobbies regardless of game mode).

i bet i havent put Halo3 into my xbox in over a year. just not into it. I'd rather play BFBC2 or nearly any other game

I miss Halo 2, no other shooter has ever came close to the fun I had on that game, back when xbox live had a real sense of community rather than what it is today.

Halo Reach is alot better, and everyone is playing Black Ops.19elderscroll86

Reach is NOT better and never will be :)

Halo 3 is dead. That is just the reality of it all. you have to let go man....... Halo 3 has to go the way of old yeller. Take your game copy in your back yard, cry, and then blow it away with a sawed off shotgun. its for its own good man.... DO IT....
