Well that’s sad. But do people really still use the OG online services anyway? MCC is pretty superb now, i can play most of the online content I want with that from all of the older halos. Only games that will be significantly affected will be Halo Wars and Spartan Assault, neither of which I’ve played online so I don’t know what the player base is like these days anyway. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole 360 online system gets shut down soon, can’t be that many players except on the odd game that isn’t back-compat or wasn’t carried over into the newer store.

When they shut down the original Halo 2 servers, it felt like very premature. Halo 2 still had a player base back then, and there was no alternative to playing H2 online besides Halo 2 Vista (which kinda sucked). It doesn't feel that way this time around. Thr original Halo 3 servers are basically dead. Last time I played if I couldn't even find a game in social slayer. And the MCC is great now, so we can still enjoy Halo 3 any time we want. I'll try to be there for the final days of H3 just like I did with H2. One last opportunity to show off my Brigadier General lol
