It’s very sad to see Legacy halos Sunsetting and it’s actually somehow depressing enough to ruin my mood. I don’t know if I am over reacting but I seriously care about the Option of being able to play Halo 4 Classic and Halo 3 Classic and Reach and Spartan Assault even With Multiplayer and Earn Stuff that means something Level up in these different games with their Unique User Interface. I kinda understand 343’s reason as they say it costs too much Money to keep this up, But I just wish It weren’t like that, I know wishing can’t do anything

Just thinking of the Achievements I won’t be able to earn no more because I couldn’t get them Earlier because I didn’t have time and now the Servers are sunsetting…

It sometimes makes me wish and envy the people who are older then me in No weird way, it’s like Only if I were born in the 90s I would have gotten the chance to have More time playing original Halos and earn all the Achievements, but because I am someone born in the very early 2000s era, Now I am late to the Party. It almost feels like FOMO but I Know and I am sure you reader to know that This isn’t FOMO but more of a sad situation.

I Love Halo It’s Very Beautiful the series itself and all the Games, In my Opinion every halo has it’s beauty From Combat evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST, Halo Wars, Halo Reach, Halo Spartan Assault, Halo 4, Halo Spartan Strike, and Halo 5 and Halo Wars, and Ofc the Upcoming Halo Infinite. They’re all pretty in my eyes, Sure the Gaurdians halo has the Weakest story but atleast it’s there, now getting sidetracked out of the way. What I think you reader or readers can atleast agree is that the servers shutting down Is depressing in a way no more can we experiance the Magical Moments with the Originals and just the Uniqness of it, even tho MCC has the Main halos on it, It doesn’t have the U.I and for me That’s completely fine if it weren’t for the servers shutting down. It’s very Sad.

For me I though Halo MCC should embrace being diffrent from the Classics it has in it’s package (no -Yoink!-)because the Classics are already there and exist and you can play classic online if we really wanted to, like Halo reach and Halo 3 etc, I very much liked that In the Classic Halos the Amour Customization meant something, Like in Halo 3 the Recon with Vidmaster. Now it can’t be earned because of this Heartbreaking… I am serious and How Halo 4 and Halo Reach had Armor and Visors that were a Sign of Experience and Grind. I really wish this won’t happen and this can stay forever, I always imagined being with my Future partner and even Offspring introducing them to the Legacy Halos and MCC ofc just all the Halos in a Perfect world where the Servers aren’t shut down having fun and making new memories. But with these reasons maybe someone reading can understand my Melancholy. The Meaning of Armor in the legacy Halos the Experience, and ranks that are unique and User interface. Along with just the XBOX 360 U.I itself too. I really loved this about the Legacy Halos. even Halo 5 and Halo MCC I wished for all Halos to stay online. Ever since Halo 2 servers were down some people say Maybe other Halos can have the Same and sadly so. seems That is the Case… It makes me even think, what If Games Like Fortnite and Other Mostly online only games, have there Servers shut down. The Memories for those Kids will be sadly just that memories. in a way it’s depressing enough with what’s going on with the World, and now the Risk with other games might be shut down. And even heartbreaking that Halo now has it coming. 343 says it’s for Money and Time sake. And I can understand I just hope there is another Way. HOPE maybe there is another way if the servers need to sunset. there is another way To Still play Multiplayer so I can enjoy with others Multiplayer and maybe even earn the Achievements that I wanted so bad, I program I heard Called Xlink Kai might be the hope… but I hope it is the True Hope. If anyone knows that there is some hope to continuing the online Services in some way and earn achievements and progress in legacy Halos. Tell me I would Happily read and reply It would be Kind. it would cheer me up and give me a Better mood after the Depressing news.

Now that you Have read I think I need to go to sleep. this is honestly very sad, and I just wrote this with some Emotions Halo Truly does mean something, It’s like it really isn’t just a video game it’s a Hobby and another Enjoyment that I planned to play to and with my Future. Good Luck out there, and May you have the best day you can somehow. and Remember every Halo is Beautiful atleast to me it very is. Hopefully this Forum can help someone understand the Emotional Pain.

l still remember the day l got my xbox 360, it was the limited edition of halo 4, l had a lot of fun with it, made a lot of memories, the amount of times l rage quitted, l still remember being the last man standing for the first time, that feeling l vividly remember when you just know the last human target is you. There were so many fun memories l WONT ever forget in this lifetime. Now in 2021, l was saddened to hear that the place l used to go to have fun is gone, we might have MCC, the place might be the same but the feeling is alien, almost as if it was a completely different game. Now suddenly l have to rush to rank up faster because of this time limit 343 has put on us. Life has this funny thing called growing up, suddenly everyone has less time to enjoy their hobbies until it is non existent. l understand where you are coming from, suddenly we are forced to migrate to MCC, we don’t want to leave this place, but perhaps over there we can make good memories, but legacy halo will always be Eternal. Spartans never die, they are just missing in action. Burn Bright. Burn Blue.

It’s sad for sure, but the memories I’ve had with the legacy titles will always remain with me, I met so many interesting people back then, custom games nights were a blast back in the day,

The functionality the originals games had remain with the MCC for sure, but it was a different time back then, Halo had more of a standing in gaming culture which meant a flurry of new people to meet in every new lobby, with how gaming culture has changed to be more competitive in nature you kind of miss those times when you went 7-21 but had a good time doing so.

I’m glad MCC still has the functionality of the Legacy Games, but what it doesn’t have us the 360 U.I and the Original Reach and halo 3 and 4 U.I which I don’t mind it not having, but that’s why I hope maybe some sort of program like xlink kai can help breath live into the matchmaking

Yeah I get it, it’s a sad affair. I’ve got some great memories from my time on OG Reach. They’ll stick with me forever I’m sure but as for the game itself I know it’s time to let it go and I get why they are doing it. Hell I haven’t even played OG since Reach was added to the MCC so I have had plenty of time to let go of that era, although I still think of many of the memories from back then and miss how much more fun it was considering the current state of matchmaking on the MCC.

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Hey Immortal, just wanted to say that if you truly want to get the achievements for all halo games there is a dedicated discord with a ton of active players grinding them out for all the games. Waypoint is still updating as well so you could go for them if you wanted to give it the old spartan shot. Discord link below and every halo title, for all possible systems (even halo MCC china) has people in it helpin each other.
