Fellow boomers: we've got 2 days left to enjoy the online matchmaking of Bungie's magnum opus in its original incarnation before it's gone forever. Grab your mics, grab your copy of Halo 3 (ODST Mythic disc preferred), and an Xbox 360/Xbox One/Series X, and boot that -blam!- up - I'll be in Social Slayer until the cows come home.
Make sure you change your voice chat settings to let you hear the enemy team in proximity as well as your own team, I was in a 10 player partied-up lobby for several hours last night and almost all of us had mics, it was amazing. This -blam!- just doesn't happen in modern games anymore.

I went back for old times sake. By sheer force of the inheritors, I ran into a very old friend via matchmaking. I recognized him, but I have since changed my gt. I sent him a coded message to see if he remembered, and the lad did, even my old handle. We talked and played for hours. First xbl connection I made, and the guy then was like 30yrs older than I. Awesome to see him still going. Sadly he picked... them... over xbox, so outside of 360 we lost connection. But still, was great to happen across a long lost ally.
