343 Industries have announced that they will be sunsetting the online Halo services on Xbox 360 in December 2021, largely due to their dwindling usage creating an imbalance between the upkeep and maintenance of these services over the benefit to the Halo community as a whole. Appropriately for Microsoft's biggest game franchise, plenty of advanced warning is being given.

We are intentionally moving slowly and deliberately with a multi-phase approach to provide our players with plenty of advance notice
There will be "continued messaging and reminders throughout the year across Halo channels" prior to this action.

This does not effect the Master Chief Collection.

I can see they would probably do this because of the release of the Xbox Series X. That much is a bit obvious. Especially when you can play the master chief collection on the Xbox One.
