A Heartfelt Goodbye to Halo 3 Multiplayer

[@KongGig]

I remembered the weeks before Halo 3 released and it was not a day before you saw commercials about Halo 3. Of which on launch day, I and 5 other friends drove to Gamestop to participate in Halo 3 midnight event. This was followed by 10h of gaming noonstop. And many more matches were followed in the days that followed. Feels weird to see that this giant titan will see its servers close down.

Man, I feel that level of energy is sorely lacking/missing these days. Kids growing up today wait on their console's dashboard for the timer to run out so they can play. The idea of it being a physical 'event' to share the excitement with everyone is such a foreign concept. While I didn't really participate much in those launch celebrations, I'm happy to have some frame of reference what that was like. Everything's so removed these days...

Apologies for the audio issues and stutters every once in awhile. I'm looking into fixing that for the next one.

They didn't get rid of the announcer for Infinite tho. It's just that he only shows up for Arena modes (4v4), not BTB. People complained about that too so i'm guessing they'll add him back to all modes come launch.

Just meant to say I didn't hear him as often, but ya I do hope they end up having him speak more often in Infinite's release. Don't care much for the kiddy AI buddie voices they've been using.

I’m surprised you’re not using the Series X for this.

There's some issues with the streaming quality on Xbox Series X. It works but only on the new Xbox App for Windows and seems to max out at 720p for me. I haven't found settings for it either. I use the older App and the One X for full 1080p60 stream quality.
