i love the halo books especially first strike where they take you through fred and the other groundside spartnas on reach. but with ODST coming out etc. wont this ODST be made redundant as soon as halo reach is out. you know like the fact we can now get recon armor for ourselves and stuff but soon halo reach will be the 'next big thing' for halo fans. will halo 3 just become like halo 2? just a couple of hundred people on at peak times? doea anyone else feel like this might happen?

Signatures are for squares.

There's a couple thousand people online at "peak" times, and if Halo 2 supported the "Guide" button, and party chats, and music, (360 game) It would have many more players.

well thats the way game series works.

gears 2 has more online players than 1
cod3 has less than cod4 (and ill never play either. halo ftw)

its the way it goes....

Do you really care? you can't automatically see my signature anyway.

As far as H3 MM getting dropped like a rock down an old stone well, I think that will happen, but I can see ODST firefight staying stronger than H3 MM.

...and if H:R is good enough maybe all the H2 players will stop playing it so Microsoft will shut down all the Xbox1 live servers and we can have 200-person friend lists.

Why the hell would you want up to 200 friends online? Besides the craziness of managing 50+ friends, how could anyone have 200 friends anyway? 100 friends to manage would be crazy enough, but 200!?

Anyway, I personally doubt Microsoft will shut down xbox anytime soon, as long as RRoD exists, or any similar glitches for future consoles, will send people back to good old regular xbox for entertainment, and regular xbox live may very well may be a simple network that keeps hardcore gamers entertained. (assuming they don't have different game consoles)

Halo 3 will only be like halo 2 if Halo:Reach turns out to be the best halo game ever made. If it isn't people will still play Halo 3.

Halo 2 was better than Halo 3, but Halo 3 is still the most played.

And Halo CE was better than both. But seriously, that's opinion, and people will move on, but not as many did from 2 to 3. If H2 was a 360 game it would probably have a larger population.

see i dont think so but this is my opnion, halo 3 has a much deeper multiplayer, and occasionally i like to gotno halo 2 for the old feeling but, the content customisation maps and just feel of the controls is just less laggy looks btter and feels better. i think if i could find a problem with it, its probably all the hype with pro gamers causing 13 year old kids with Itz ITS or BK or 2the in there name thinking there the next big thing, so alot of the time i miss halo2 cause that wasnt a big problem then but lately its really bad.

Yes, really

this happens with most games. the only exception? cod 5 vs cod 4, because cod 5 sucks. even more that the other cod games.
