i really don't think so, considering about 30-40 percent of my friends (who do in fact play video games and halo as well) do not even know about halo ODST. But believe me i let them have it lol.

I doubt it. There was much more hype about Halo 3 then ODST. I could be wrong.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

Haha, no...

I really doubt that. It would be like SNES outselling NES. Sorry for the Nintendo reference, I couldn't think of anyhing else.

I'm going to go with Yes. Imo, after Halo 3, the fanbase can only grow, really. Bungie have said that they still have a lot more in the works for the "hype machine", so to speak. Just probably trying not to go overboard like they did with Halo 3 due to the crappy economy and stuff.

It's a bit bit of a crap shoot. I don't think it will, but yet I hope it does. Putting some more coin in the Bungie coffers can't be a bad thing. More profits, more games.

No. Halo 3 was hyped up sooooooooo -blam!- much. The 'Believe' ads, drinks, commercials on TV, -blam!-load of screenshots, etc.

This. Judging by how long it is until this game comes out, there is no way this can be hyped to the point of Halo 3, and as we all know, more hype means more dollars in Bungie's and Microsoft"s pockets.

hell no. im a halo fanatic and even IM not as excited about ODST as i was for halo 3

Wayne Jarvis, Attorney at Law; I have a responsibility to tell you that there is no candy in this office.

No, I don't think it will sell as many as Halo 3. Probably only 7/10 people that bought Halo still play it, or would play more Halo. If 95/100 people that still play Halo go out and buy ODST, that means ODST will sell about 66.5% as many copies as Halo 3 did. Some people may be buying it as their first Halo game, increasing the amount of sales, but I highly doubt there would be enough people to make it sell more than Halo 3.
