We've seen many promising and cool games after Halo 3, but no one has really weakened it's popularity. it has just dropped for a month and regained or even been better.

but when Reach is handed out to the masses, do you think Halo 3 will be colder than Avalanche or keep a steady amount of players like Halo 2 did/does.

I dont know how Reach's multiplayer will be like, but it's likely that it's better, even without the suggestions from all the CoD fanboys spamming the forums.

so....what do you think? Halo 3 killed by Reach

The internet is a bad place.

Possible ofcourse.
But i think there will still be alot of "1337" people that continue to play halo 3 because they "R0ckzOr" at it.

Change the title. You put Halo Wars, not Halo: Reach.
And I think it will kill Halo 3.

There's a possibility it'll be killed by Reach but there could be some die-hard fanboys/girls out there who'll stay with Halo3 I know i'll still play it. (though if they have HW's Spartan armour Reach will have my heart)

It depends on what happens. There are a lot of H2 players remaining because the play style and weapons are quite a bit different than H3 gameplay. If Reach is dumbed down, a lot of people will probaby continue to play H3 after the first few months of Reach. If Bungie makes as good of a game or makes it better and more challenging (more depth), I think a lot of people will eventually drop H3. That being said, since Reach is coming out so soon after ODST and H3, people may not get it right away (other than the hardcore) because H3's luster hasn't worn off yet.

the way i see halo 3 was the worst Bungie can only go up from there.

  • 10.17.2009 2:56 PM PDT

Halo 3 has been out for somthing like 3-4 years now or atleas Reach has been in the making for that long and ODST was a side project handled by a small group inside of bungie while they were still working on Reach and thanks to the halo 3 engin it was made in just over a year if I remember reading right.

keep moving Forward never go back a step, but dont be afraid to look.

I'd like to thank Daniella, my special friend, and all the people at my first group, ODSTR. May the said group dominate BUNGIE Again!

Halo 3 came out two or three years after Halo 2. Reach is coming out in 2010, three years after Halo 3. I think that Halo Reach will not kill Halo 3, but they will have a nearly equal number of players at all times.

CoD have had a new game each year for the last 3-4 games and They still hold a good share of the market.

So i think ODST was mostly a game to keep the fanbase up so Reach get's a warmer welcome.

like Everyone hyping MW2 after the failure called CoD 5, the same thing will happen with Reach

okay heres the thing i dont think HALO REACH will kill H3 cause if you remember halo 3 was released 9.25th.07 thats 3 years ago and its the most played game online and im talking about 3 long years and finally we have chance to unlock RECON armor so no reach will not kill H3 in fact it will played the same as H3 here´s an example

you wake up and you turn on your console and play h3 then after i dont know 2 or 3 hours u put on the REACH disc and u play reach.and there you go you´ll play both believe me averybody is goin to do that even more if we have recon armor now

Hell no. Reach will be a great game. MW2 is a copy pasted MW with new guns. Reach will have a completely re-designed multiplayer and basically everything else but still keep the core gameplay.
The storyline is also something that will attract people who have read the books. The story is basically half the reason I absolutely <3 Halo. Reach will be epic.

why do people think Halo 3 was released three years ago? it was released on september 25th 2007 and it is now the year 2009 so that would make Halo 3 two years old. That said I think that most people will move onto Halo: Reach but a lot of people will still play Halo 3 and ODST.

If you think world at war is 80% crap well.. your brain is only functioning at 80% because it is indeed 100% crap

Not Unless Bungie Screws Up

I like Halo, It kills all sentinel life with sufficient bio-mass... and doesn't afraid of anything.

Plekpedia - The most epic site in the history of ever.

I think that many, many, people will still play H3, but yes, I will move onto reach, but still play H3 every once in a while.

  • 10.17.2009 3:14 PM PDT

seriously why do people keep asking this stupid question, what happen to Halo 2 when Halo 3 came out? Same with Halo Reach. Halo 3 will die out, and only few people will be still playing it. Halo Reach will kill off Halo 3. Then it will become the most played game for another 5 years or so until next Halo, just Like Halo 3. To this day Halo 3 is most played game for ages! This will stop until Halo Reach. Heck the beta will Kill Halo 3.

Well seeing as Halo 1 < Halo 2 < Halo 3 obviously Halo Reach > Halo 3.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Easily.

Realing a new fully-packed Halo game is not a good way to keep the previous Halo game alive.

Halo 2 lost over half of its players in the first two weeks. I doubt Halo 3 is going to lose that much so quickly, but it's going to slowly and painfully die even if Halo Reach is a crappy game.

Reach will replace halo 3 just like halo 3 replaced halo 2. A number of fans will still play H3; just the same as what happened with H2.

  • 10.17.2009 4:07 PM PDT

Stop PMing me if you are group recruiting.

Only if Reach's multiplayer expands upon past MP. If it's the same as Halo 3, then no, Reach won't kill Halo 3. But if it expands upon Halo 3 or any other MP, then it will kill it.

If Reach is like what we want, more armor permutations, playing as Brutes, balancing, maps, etc... then it will be a success.
