Shout out to every single one of you who was there until the bitter end of the OG server sunset. That was some of the best Halo I’ve ever played. No gaming experience will ever come close to this era of Xbox 360 Halo. This was more than a game - it was something you grew up with. This shared experience is ours forever

[@SmugRoom38]

It hurt to see that player count map go blank

[@mattr1485]

Amen

[@JJ_5289]

Plenty of good shooters have come out since then but nothing has matched the multiplayer of halo 2 and 3. The attention to detail bungie had back then, and their willingness to support the game after launch is something we might never see again in a modern shooter.

[@jacobcannon6134]

[@adampnewsome]

Dude, yeah

[@derrickhobbs8842]

I'm convinced that Halo3 does not need to be replaced...it needs to be maintained. Just like Counter Strike. Halo 3 can last forever.

[@vkolpdj]

I agree wholeheartedly. It’s timeless.

[@miruharabae]

Watching competitive play is so satisfying & engaging everytime I watch it. Halo 3 deserves to still maintain is competitive scene.

[@jktwice8235]

Problem with H3 is the lack of customizability. The game wasn't meant to be played competitively and lacked a few options. For awhile before an update, you couldn't adjust the plant timer on the bomb in Assault, it was instant no matter what. There's no real map editor and Forge was never truly meant to make new maps, just create variations for weapon placement and such (which it does pretty well). As a result, everything turns into Warlock/Midship-like maps in Forge with rarely anything new being created. I like H3 as much as you but the community needed more tools to keep this game alive, and MLG not switching to Reach.

[@derrickhobbs8842]

@@jktwice8235 ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID? You CAN Adjust everything!

[@jktwice8235]

Derrick Hobbs Could you adjust the damage of individual weapons? Could you edit strafe speed and normal walking speed individually? How about having more than one type of custom powerup? We were able to adjust a lot about Halo 3, and thankfully we landed on good settings, but we couldn’t have everything we wanted. I’d say that the lack of a true map editor (and admittedly poor networking on anything but LAN and even then you’re still occasionally getting bloodshots) is what makes this game prone to stagnation more than individual settings. We’ve had MLG v8 forever now. It’s time to change, and hopefully with 343 adding modding support soon next year we can get that.

You can still play homie . The community is coming back believe it or not. Watch single halo clips on YT also.

It’s just practise and being inherently built to play games a bit better than most. Same for any competitive sport. You need the natural talent to go pro, and then you need the practise, because there’s 1000’s of people out there with the potential. That being said, when they say you’re the best in the world, there was only truly a limited field who could truly compete with you.

Also games you listed off were solid games because the original creative minds behind them were in their primes.

Halo 3 shouldn’t have been dropped from MLG. They should have kept it going. Top pros didn’t like the game, I get it but lots of people did. When they left a new group would come. I’d the support from bungie and mlg stayed Halo would have remained. Reach, 343, and MLG effectively killed the greatest console competitive shooter of all time
