Quote:"Last summer, Bungie and 343 began a transition process for Halo data...on March 31st, 2012, that transition process will be complete, 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. All currently supported, Bunnie-developed Halo titles will be impacted by this change. Any replacement functionality, and all future Halo support, will be provided by Microsoft and 343 Industries via Halo Waypoint..." which is now located at halo.xbox.com

Quote:The “customer service” I have been on the receiving end of over the last few days, however, has changed all of that.
