After partying up with some cool Bros for one last session of classic Halo 3 matchmaking, the servers are shut down before our very eyes. Cheers to Bungie, thanks for all the memories.
Growing up people us too all say "Its just a game" But its times like these where the end of an Era really shows that its just more than a silly game.....
I stumbled across a group a random people I had never met in a random game and played with them until the last minute. Never found out their names but I made 6 new friends that night
Something about the map not even glowing just gives me.. Goosebumps. The thought of nothing scares me in a world of something. It's like being the last person in the apocalypse, it's just.. Nothing. I get goosebumps from this thought
I didn’t get to play before the shutdown, I had a calendar reminder and my Xbox 360 waiting under my drawer. As disappointed as I am, I’m glad to have heard the shitty mic sounds again.
Halo 3 was my first MP game ever, so when I heard it was shutting down I cried a little. Grown ass 30 year old crying. Wish I could of got on before the servers went down. GG Spartans. Thanks for the games and memories.
its like the 10th video i watch from the day the halo server got shutdown....and not a single 1 of them has even 1 dislike....dude this day really made me cry....as beeing one of them 12 years old kid back than....one last : Your Mama
Actually I did, Halo 3 wasn't the same to play anymore since Reach came out with that damn server upgrade, and the last couple of years were a miserable experience on the Xbox 360.
"Let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure; sacrifice, and unshakable conviction that their fight. As we start to rebuild, this hillside will remain barren, a memorial to heroes fallen. They ennobled all of us, and they shall not be forgotten."
I miss seeing and hearing this kind of banter. That was a key part of the classic Halo experience that you can't recapture with MCC. It's also really sad to see all those lights finally go out.
Its not that they couldn't wait to do this, they didn't know how to maintain the netcoding that Bungie left them, it was falling apart. New problems, new bugs, etc. That and they didn't want to spend the money upgrading a game barely anyone plays. The netcode was also a mess from what I understand. But you don't know programming.
@@spirit_green why would they need to touch, upgrade/keep up with the “net code”? 😂 bungie already created/established the netcode when they made the complete game application. The moment bungie originally stopped supporting (halo 3 or reach) is the exact moment the “netcode” should’ve stopped being tweaked/stopped being touched (in other words no bugs or no new problem…why? Because nobody is modifying the production game itself anymore). It takes effort for someone to modify a part of the game and create bugs or new problems (which is something 343i did with halo reach when they started touching that game for no reason…making that stupid TU playlist and what not.) The game doesn’t necessarily have to be “shutdown” and I’m not complaining that they did shut it down because who didn’t see that coming anyway. They didn’t even touch the game itself when they did the shutdown. What they did was pure networking and that was either a couple things: (they shutdown an interface, unplugged the Ethernet/fiber cable or made it completely unreachable using Layer 3 logic)
@@Folfah have fun taking a minute to kill somebody, it’s shouldn’t take ALL 30 Rounds in the assault rifle AND you switching to the BR to kill somebody. All of the guns in halo 3 felt like nerf guns and they took ages to kill somebody. Halo 2 had one of the best TTKs imo but halo 3 nerfed EVERY weapon and made the game feel slow and sluggish. The campaign was amazing but the multiplayer wasn’t the best.
@@Folfah no I could kill people and drop 20 bombs, it’s not that I was bad, it just wasn’t enjoyable, like I said. They nerfed EVERY gun besides the BR. So that made everyone only use the BR. It wasn’t as fun as halo 2 or reach
Growing up people us too all say "Its just a game" But its times like these where the end of an Era really shows that its just more than a silly game.....
Too bad the bad outweighs the good. If wasn't all good. These last couple of years was the worst experience I ever had, especially with cheaters.
And what’s crazy is that “ it’s just a game “ is what made us happy 24/7 through all the times than actual people irl
Was an honor spartans, GGs only. It's all dust and echos now
It's comments like these that restores my faith in mankind.
I felt that
it’s been a good run boys and girls
End of an era :(
It's all dust and echoes
@@spirit_green yeah true. Thanks for nothing Microsoft
Im gonna miss the shit mic quality
hahahahaahhahahahah
Growing up with this game and these people has been a blessing
There was no greater honor
Playing halo with tallboigamer and Ethan was the highlight of my week...
Love all you guys!
Our pleasure my friend 💚
Kids now are watch this and confused af. But we will always remember. Spartan

All of us in this video are randoms

Let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return
the fight has been finished, but at what cost?
It makes me sad seeing the OG Halo Servers down😭😭😭 it been a good run and only we will understand the feels this gives us
It’s been an honor Spartans and Elites.
reach may have fallen, but we'll always remember. 😢💚
"is that the last one?"
*wii sports golf noises*
its like the 10th video i watch from the day the halo server got shutdown....and not a single 1 of them has even 1 dislike....dude this day really made me cry....as beeing one of them 12 years old kid back than....one last : Your Mama
God, today was heart wrenching to say the least.
Never know what you really had until its gone.
Actually I did, Halo 3 wasn't the same to play anymore since Reach came out with that damn server upgrade, and the last couple of years were a miserable experience on the Xbox 360.
I was in that last game [tallboigamer] and it was a hell of a run. It may be the end of an era but the memories will last forever 💚
At least we got the remaster.
because of this I went on to halo 3 multiplayer on MCC for the first time on a server called drive or die, it was a lot of fun
And that's a wrap, folks. Everything comes to an end.

It's also really sad to see all those lights finally go out.
2024 and this still hurts like hell 😭
Feel so sad 😢. But im happy to was here on the last day, to say a last goodbye to this beautiful game ❤.
Spartans never die, they just become legends.
Leave the memories alone
Man I miss those old mics so much
We live, to fight on another day.
Shout out to you all.
You can still host custom games
Imagine being one of those rare people who never stopped playing Halo 3 on the 360 and experiencing this, would honestly be pretty heart breaking
@@NachoCheeseTostada upgrade? I didn't know going from gold to shit was a upgrade😂
@@NachoCheeseTostada yeah shame on you. P00P
The end of an era. Same goes for cod the golden days have come to an end
Press F to pay respects

I fking love you guys. Lol played everyday this last week. It was everything I wanted it to be. Gunna miss it.
I’ll never forget my first overkill, my first ninja, and the first time tea bagging my enemy… all happened playing Halo 3.
The fight is finished.
We will never forget
I bet 343i couldn’t wait to do this. They are very anti bungie-halo.

So at what time did the servers shutdown exactly?
At 1 PM est
@@BrokenToy Thank you. I was off way before then would of liked to stay but I just couldn't stay up and they didn't give the exact time.
:(
never played this game in my life and im sad
You didn't miss much, a lot of assholes in matchmaking. I hate them all.
You can still experience this game with the MCC
I hate when served shut down.
Such a shame ☹️
At least we have MCC. But its not the same 😔
MCC on PC is the bomb with mods. I love it.
Noooooo!
I love you all
they dont care about the game just the money we made them
Welcome to Capitalism where the buyer meets the seller
Onto MCC
DUDE let just make an act and fast to save the server
@D DOG where halo 4 server when you need 1
I personally liked reach and 2 more, halo 3 felt sluggish to me and the guns were all nerfed to the ground except the shotgun and sniper.
blasphemy. halo 3 was WAY better than dmr camping reach.

@@hiimbooper8550 lmao you must’ve been trash at 3 then. It takes like 4 bursts from a br to kill a guy if you actually hit shots

why did they do this? i don't understand. the infinite servers suck ass, and they kill the ones that work?
Move on! Infinite way better!
come on man. you might think infinite is better but you don’t need to shit on the other games
Infinite is a good game, but it doesn't have 1/10th the content Halo 3 did. Halo 3 will always be the legendary title of the franchise.
