Bungie handing over Halo community services to 343 in March

4.4
As of March 31, 2012, Bungie will no longer host any Halo services on Bungie.net. Current Halo data will be transferred to 343 and, at that time, "all live Halo data will be managed by 343 Industries, and Bungie will no longer be able to update game stats and player service records, to host new user generated content, or to operate the Bungie Pro service." Using a peculiar bit of language, Bungie notes that "any replacement functionality" will be hosted by Halo Waypoint on halo.xbox.com.

Notice that Bungie doesn't mention whether or not such functionality will be replaced, though it seems unlikely that Microsoft would allow Halo's community features to disappear. They are, after all, a hallmark of the franchise. Because really, what's the point of playing Halo if you can't show off how awesome you are (or, as the image above illustrates, how funny it looks as your Spartan's limp corpse sails through the air).

What are you talking about, Halo is the biggest FPS out there that doesn't suck.



1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
2. Battlefield 3
3. Skyrim
4. FIFA 12
5. Gears of War 3
6. Halo: Reach
7. Modern Warfare 2

Hmm, I guess people do still play Halo. But the biggest fps out there that doesn't suck? ....ehh


This ^^ is how the ranking should be

And yes MW3 isn't anything we haven't seen so far so??

FIFA 12 And Skyrim are FPS shooters? -.-

BoxxyPlus Im actually really happy 343 is doing halo now. Gunfire let me down with reach... Im excited to see what 343 can do because the maps they helped make look very nice! :)

Reach was a one off and was an epic popular game it won game of the year but halo 3 was better


But bungie was better!
