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).

DeadlyDasher People still play Halo?


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



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

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

skyrim and fifa aren't fps's


Niether is Gears of War 3. But it would be better to put the full list then just the fps.

yeah that's true. reach is good but isn't halo 3's level of awesomeness

I think he was talking about the Halo franchise, not the current status of players playing atm.

Everything went down hill after Reach came out just hope Halo 4 is good and has no jet-packs and is like h1 h2 and h3. I'm talking from experience.
