The servers will be shut down at the end of the year, giving those who are still playing plenty of time.

They say that, but Reach’s servers have been mostly down for the past several days.

That doesn’t mean anything other than servers have been experiencing issues. Things like this are exactly why they are being shut down at the end of the year - maintaining and operating legacy systems takes time and resources, which in turn diverts those resources away from other things.
Halo 3 itself has been online for 14 years this year which is impressive, but with fewer and fewer players playing these titles online, the justification to keep servers online just isn’t there.
It’s almost been a decade since the last Halo game came out for the 360. I don’t know how many people are playing the original versions of the games, but it’s probably not enough to keep the servers running into the new generation.
Shut the servers down. Hopefully the population on those games go to MCC.
It would be nice but it wouldn’t be worth it in the long run, but we still have till December

Justified? Thousands of people, who are now unemployed in a pandemic cannot afford new xbox 1’s, controllers, new games, headset, all that jazz. That costs money for non wealthy people… There is no justification for turning the servers off, its truly sad and disgraceful and i hope they will do the right thing here

The justification is of course there to fix the servers and i hope they will do the right thing in the end… I know many sad people right now who do not have the money to afford a new xbox 1, and a new game, a new headset, controllers, etc… I myself have xbox 1 and i still enjoy classic reach as well as play mcc sometimes. Many of my friends who only have Xbox 360s will simply have their games and play ability taken away from them, as they cannot afford new xbox’s now… They paid for xbox 360, they paid for reach, they paid for xbox live, controllers, headsets, and now they wont be able to play because they wont update our server the fans paid for? Where is the justice in that?
dudes that don’t even play these legacy titles in here talking about the servers need to be shut down. gtfoh.

Please don’t use Covid-19 as an excuse. They might not be able to afford all that stuff now, but as the Xbox One came out about seven years ago, chances are they already have one. If people are still playing on a console from two generations ago, a console that saw a final release nearly a decade ago when Halo 4 was released, then that is hardly Microsoft’s/343i’s problem. From a business standpoint, it doesn’t make sense.

I look forward to joining some friends of mine over the summer for one final hoorah on the legacy titles. I am very happy 343 gave us the advanced heads up and allowed us some chance to get some closure in the process.

Yeah it would of been sad if they did it out of no where so it’s really nice to be able to play
But is anyone else having server issues

I still am but we are being assured its temporary and they won’t be taken down without prior notice which is nice.
It’s honestly time to move on…

So do I, I hope the servers can stay in good condition until the end of the year. I am really looking forward to jumping back on in the summer.

The MCC does not have all of the features that both Halo 3 and defiantly Reach have. The Credit System, Commendations, UI, and Map Veto just to name a few. Although I enjoy the MCC to this day it still does not live up to what 343 promised. Which was the ability to play these games as they launched. And who wants to unlock things through a battle pass? Battle passes are so lame compared to previous forms of progression.
