Bungie pulled the plug but when will these features come back online for us again?
I mean, we all knew this day was coming.
File Share? At some point during the summer
Nameplates? Not coming back (Unless they’re in Halo 4 but then they’d only come back for Halo 4)
EDIT:
I’ll just leave this here
> Final Transition for Halo Services

> The final transition for Halo services takes place in four days. As part of this planned stage, Bungie will no longer be able to update game stats and player service records, host new user-generated content, or operate the Bungie Pro Service after March 31. The most noticeable impact will be on features seen exclusively on Bungie.net, such as rendered films, nameplates, and Halo: Reach API keys. They are not included in the transition, and we do not have plans to develop similar features for prior games.
>
> Part of the final transition for Halo services is unlocking Halo 3 Recon armor for all Halo 3 players. That process, which was started this morning, will take place in waves over the next few days. If Recon isn’t unlocked for you today, please check back later.

> On April 1, we will begin increasing Halo: Reach File Share capacity from 6 slots to 24 slots at no extra charge. This will also take place in waves, and the process is expected to last several days. We thank you in advance for your patience as we work to give this expanded access to all Halo: Reach players.

> The real-time export of Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST data to the web will not be supported on Waypoint at this time, as we are focused on bringing Halo: Reach File Share access to the Halo Waypoint website, expanding our Halo Waypoint services, and to be perfectly frank, building features and support for Halo 4. We’d like to assure you that data collection is still happening behind the scenes, and those numbers will continue to be reflected in your Halo Waypoint Career.

> This summer, we’ll be bringing Halo: Reach File Share access to the web version of Halo Waypoint. That means there will be a short period where new Halo: Reach user-generated content will not be accessible from the web. All Halo: Reach files will continue to be accessible in-game, though, just as they are today. We know not having web access is less than optimal (/understatement), which is why we will continue working hard on our version of the File Share system. We’ll share images and information as that quickly approaching date gets closer.

Hopefully soon, I like browsing through people’s fileshares and seeing what they all got.
As someone who has made over 30 maps, this honestly pisses me off. I have a youtube channel with 5000+ subscribers and I can’t put anything out for them without online fileshare support. This is a pretty good encouragement for me to stop playing Halo.

pretty much whatever nameplate you left on in Reach will remain there, however you cannot change it. We also get a Free full fileshare at some point

The file share will be back later this summer, so your map sharing will be put on hold.
But as for your YouTube Channel, as long as you have a capture card, it’ll be fine.
Also, the in game file share isn’t down, just the web based file share.
yeah I’m going to need the website fileshare by Monday.
I’m with you on that one. I have nearly 60 maps and rely on the online fileshare and screenshot systems to shre these maps. With both of these systems being down until summer… I don’t know. This really sucks…
“That means there will be a short period where new Halo: Reach user-generated content will not be accessible from the web.”
They will probably put it back up in May since they said “short period”

Summer time starts June 20th, they are aiming for a summer release with it so it is likely going to be absent for a little longer than May.
