halo.bungie.net hosts a plethora of stale Halo 2, 3 and Reach game statistics, user-generated content and blog posts by Bungie. Since 343 Industries/Microsoft took over stats and user-generated content hosting for Halo 3 and Reach in April 2012, this data has been sitting stale on Bungie's servers. The detailed statistics for a lot of the Halo 2 and 3 games have been purged periodically to presumably free up Bungie's resources.[1] In 2018, the forums were shut down, and the remaining detailed game statistics were purged.[2] The site will finally shut down on 2021-02-09.[3]
Archives
Files
Between November 2014 and June 2015, ArchiveTeam downloaded more than 37 terabytes of Halo 2 stuff[unclear] and Halo 3 files. Bulk archives are available from archiveteam_halo, and the content should also be reachable through the Wayback Machine.
As of 2021-01-15, parts of the Halo 3 files[IA•Wcite•.today•MemWeb] (oldest 10 million and newest ~4 million) and all ~27.5 million Halo Reach files[IA•Wcite•.today•MemWeb] remain unarchived.
Forums
The forums were archived in full shortly before the shutdown at the end of June 2018. The archives can be found under halo.bungie.net_forums_201806 and halo.bungie.net_profiles_posters_201806 and are available in the Wayback Machine.
Game statistics
Detailed game stats were continuously purged by Bungie.
A DPoS project for Halo 2 game stats was planned and worked on in 2018 before the final purge (halo2-grab, halo2) but never launched.
Before the final purge in June 2018, some samples were archived:
- First and last million Halo 2 games: halo.bungie.net_halo2_games_first_last_201806
- 2 million random Halo 2 games: halo.bungie.net_halo2_games_random_201806
- First, random, and last 500k Halo 3 games: halo.bungie.net_halo3_games_201806
- First, random, and last 500k Halo 3 ODST games: halo.bungie.net_halo3odst_games_201806
- First, random, and last 500k Halo Reach games: halo.bungie.net_haloreach_games_201806
Other
The website was archived recursively with ArchiveBot in 2014, 2018, and 2021.
