Subject: will Halo reach will KILL MW2

Posted by: RedRaptor

Keep in mind that Halo is on one platform though. CoD is on 3 different platforms. Now if the 360 version ALONE outsold halo, then I could see it as being more popular or well received. There is no denying though that Halo has had WAY more of a cultural impact that most other games. The only other one I can think is GTA, but thats because of controversy and wide media plubicity. Ask anyone just walking on the streets what halo was and I guarantee that at least 75% know what you are talking about.

Now that is pretty incredible for the bad rep that video games have as a whole to the people outside the video game loop.


Agreed, it definitely has had a larger cultural impact, and IMHO, a much larger impact on the advancement of the FPS genre as a whole. But they are both very recognizable franchises.

As for the platform thing, lets not forget Halo and Halo 2 DID make it to the PC, though :)

Stop PMing me if you are group recruiting.

No because they are two different games with two different play styles set in different time lines/ universes that have different fanbases...different.

  • 11.10.2009 11:40 AM PDT

Its a trap!!!

alls I know is that I was at the midnight line for COD MW2 and 2.5 times as many people were at the Halo 3 midnight release


So as long as Bungie keeps doing what they are doing and not try to make the game like COD then it should do better despite not being multiplatformed

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

Uh, he's talking about sales.

And if you really did your research, you'd know that the fan base of Modern Warfare 2 and Halo actually intersect a lot. A lot of COD fans are Halo fans and vice versa.

lol is it wrong that I went to the midnight showing and played halo 3 for 3 hours after i got MW2 and then finally opened my box to play it for an hour

  • 11.10.2009 11:50 AM PDT

MW2 always will now be better than the halo franchise and there is nothing you will ever do about it. face it reach will be inferor and MW2 is superior.

lol well i can see by your service record that someone might just be sore for sucking at Halo

well if being a n00b is better for you then COD is definetly the right choice for you

lol. Go to IW forms and spread your stupidity there. Your the kindegardener who flames this sight. If Halo is so childish, how come you fail horribly at it?

You lack intelligence because you flame the game when it hasn't even come out yet and Reach is about a year away.

Some people actually like that it takes skill to aim a weapon in Halo and for some weapons like the Battler Rifle or Carbine you have to be a consistant shot over the other person.

When I played MW2 last night I easily camped a corner and waved bullets over peoples head scoring instant headshots. There is less skill involved in that and generaly the person who gets the kill sees the other guy first

I love in Halo 3 when someone shoots me in the back and I get the chance to 4 shot him with the BR using strafe aim and skill.

How can you kill that which is a disc.


that which is adisc must thus be slain in order to achieve balance of halo/CoD

  • 11.10.2009 12:10 PM PDT

MW2 is already dead. I returned mine an hour ago. Finished campaign on veteran.

Honestly. Worst CoD game ever. Back to Gears of War 1+2.

im one second from taking this to the next level.

Who cares? Honestly, what does it matter if one game 'kills' another? These kinds of discussions are so pointless I'm surprised the mods don't lock them.

Halo 3 is going to kill MW2. Stop acting as if MW2 is even a threat to Halo for more than 2 weeks.

I think it will it sounds awsome I heard about the book and many of people said its great but what do you think


Please, stop. I'm personally sick of the arguements. Ignore the MW2 fanboys and rise above them. Remember that you represent the Halo community. Show them we aren't as hostile as they think we are. Please.

  • 11.10.2009 1:05 PM PDT

Hi! <3

Assuming it's released a year later, I will be bold enough to say yes.

  • 11.10.2009 1:06 PM PDT
