Sad news for gamers this week! Microsoft and 343 Industries have shut down the Halo Xbox 360 matchmaking servers. The games include Halo 3, Halo 4 and Halo: Reach.
The internet mourns the end of such an era – the age of Halo. The perfect escape with friends – many many happy memories made! The image below shows the date as December 2021, as that was the original date planned for the servers to shut down, but it was delayed by a couple of weeks and shut down a couple of days ago, instead.
There’s one silver lining though – you can play these games online via the Master Chief Collection (MCC) on Steam for example. Although there’s a few functionalities missing, such as fileshare and player customization.
Tributes for the game started pouring in from all across the world for the game and people took to Twitter, Reddit and YouTube to share their final moments in the game; or simply talk about their happy memories with Halo. Here’s a few of our favorite memes and videos!
Now there’s nothing…. but darkness. 🙁
