Hey guys last year the owner of [url=https://www.facebook.com/populatehalo]this[/url] Facebook page set out to "repopulate" the Halo 3 servers for the day of April 7th. There was no point to this other than just dedicating some time this one day of the year to play a classic Xbox 360 game. This is no "boycott" of Halo 4 or whatever the hell, let me assure you.
Anyways it was a success last year and it was a fun day filled with matchmaking, custom games, and of course a bunch of nostalgia.
Because the date coincides with Halo 4's update and has also promoted a bunch interest April 8 is also apart of the 2-day "repopulation" of Halo 3.
If you wanna play some Halo 3 customs or just play matchmaking without waiting 5 hour for a game then hop on Halo 3 on April 7th-8th. Cya around.
EDIT:
My GT is: High Octane 572
I downloaded some maps and gametypes earlier today and have a nice amount to support a lobby of people. I'll be filming some games for shits and gigs as well and will be uploading them to youtube.

If Halo 4 is so bad, then why would you need to make a thread to repopulate Halo 3?

I'm definitely in.

I've played a few games so far. I'm finding matches in 7 on the 7th in fairly good time.

I just played two rounds of matchmaking but the total players online was only a little over 2000. :(

I'll pass. I'm sick of Halo. Good luck to you all though. I don't think it will knock much sense into MS and 343i.
-
I'll try and join up! Hopefully I'll remember.

Have fun!! I'd love to say I could be there, but with the end of the semester, things have gotten hectic. Hopefully there will be something similar on 7/7 :D
