Subject: MW2 smashed H3 on day 1

Halo has also been out for a few years. CoD just came out so obviously more people will be playing to check it out.

Try making an assessment a few months from now, that will be a more fair judgment.

I pray you guys have the brains to show us the best maps Reach will have because I am not walking into that FAIL again. Ow ya. Beta & launch game without midship= possible permanate loss of Competitive community.


Rellik making another flame thread about halo, I'm shocked...Why must there only be midhsip? There have been so many maps that are great competitive maps and you want midship remade again? Hell, I'd rather have wizard and sanctuary before another midship.

Wow, I had no idea Bungie.net had such zealous fanboys!

Can't we just say Modern Warfare 2 kicked arse, won this round, and that Halo will try and beat it next time?

In terms of surface figures, yes. Also, I do actually prefer MW2 to Halo 3. At least for now.

If both games had come out in the same year, it would have been far closer.

Halo 2 onward took a solid formula and hacked at it with a cleaver till that juicy steak that just needed some good sauces on the side was now hamburger.

I like hamburger better than steak.

Rellik Pir, how come you cant accept that Halo is NOT Call of Duty, that Call of Duty games actually have been milked to the degree in which they get stail after a few weeks/months, and that Halo 2 and Halo 3 is STILL being played today, while Call of Duty 4 and WaW have, essentially, lost all of thier players.

OWREALLY.......

H2 and H3 didn't actually sell because of their merits. God why didn't I think of that. I love when you guys punch yourselves in the face and wonder where it came from.


Good games keep getting more and more popular after launch... COD4 and HCE....

Iffy and bad games that don't do well on their own merits get huge launch numbers and then the active community drops like a rock.

MW2 actually took a solid formula and added goodies to it.

Halo 2 onward took a solid formula and hacked at it with a cleaver till that juicy steak that just needed some good sauces on the side was now hamburger.

Interesting... you obviously are a CoD fanboy... and yet you're on Halo's website...

Halo 3 is not a hacked down version of H:CE. The matchmaking in H:3 is simply awesome. Admittedly I wish the campaign was better, but it's not so bad that I would say Bungie did a bad job.

And by the way, if Halo survived based solely on merits, those merits would have run out a long time ago and there wouldn't still be millions of people playing Halo.

Stop trying to diminish what Halo has done for the FPS, for games in general. CoD is a fine game, if you like that sort of thing, Halo is legendary.

If only...


Are you mad that your bird only gets fatter???

Once we leave Halo will die. We are the ones that keep a game in the spotlight for so long. Therefor keeping new people coming into the game.

Casual playing jump from game to game. Competitve player stick around and keep bringing people into the fold.

I'm simply saying that if people are going to leave Halo just because it doesn't have a certain map then perhaps we would be better off without them. Luckily the entire competitive community isn't silly enough to do something like that.

On which base MW2 or H3 is better than the other? And MW2 just got out, just so you know, usually, how you view a game changes after the first days, it always did with me as you begin to find problems and/or things that you find awesome. You have to be pretty naive to state a game is better than the other because it got better sales than the other one did 2 years ago. And each year there are new records are broken.

Here's an interesting stat since you're so concerned with them:

When Halo 3 came out, I did not own an Xbox 360. I bought Halo 3 and a 360 JUST for Halo 3. If it were not for Halo 3 I wouldn't own an Xbox 360, and I wouldn't have bought MW2.

I paid over $300 for Halo 3, smash that...

If it weren't for Halo 3, less people would possess a 360 and therefor less people would buy MW2.

Very good point. If Halo 3 was one of the Leading games for the 360. If people already didnt have a 360, they wouldve never known MW was a good game, it would've been like Medal of Honor and fell off the map

  • 11.12.2009 3:47 PM PDT

φ

I only bought an Xbox 360 to get Halo 3. But I got it October, not week it came out.

So I didn't contribute to Day 1 sales but now that I have a 360 my brother was able to go out and get MW2 on Day 1 because he had a 360.

If I never got Halo 3, I never would have gotten an Xbox 360, and MW2 would have sold 1 less copy. Now how many people share my story? Quite a few I'd imagine.

That's absolutely fantastic.

I'm going to go play Halo 3 now. You've sure affected my day. Man. I don't think I'm going to be able to get over this. Modern Warfare 2 sold more then Halo 3? I'm really upset. Some epic sadface over here right now.

  • 11.12.2009 3:50 PM PDT

RED BRICK STUDIOS!

Day 1 sales=nothing
Total sales after a couple years= everything

And look at the percentage of people on the Modern Warfare 2 forums are complaining! I'm pretty sure Halo 3 had a good mix of reviews on its board the first week...

One last thing: All around enjoyment? You are obviously an ignorant American. Ask most Brits and Aussies what they think of multiplayer, and they will talk about the crappy connection problems.

  • 11.12.2009 3:50 PM PDT

yeah, back before halo 3 i only knew maybe 3 people with a 360, once halo 3 came out everyone bought a 360, everyone i know has one now, because of halo, there are so many people with 360s now, that was the big hit, the 360 seller if you will, halo and xbox go together like spaghetti and meatball, ipod and itunes, bevis and butthead, you cant really have one without the other, and its been that way ever since November 2001, don't believe me, go look it up, yeah, we realize MW2 is a lot better, but it'd be sad if it wasn't a lot better, your comparing games that came out at completely different times, thats like comparing vhs to dvd, or hd to blue ray. even if reach was a complete piece of crap, it'd still do well, you know why? because it has "HALO" in the title. anything thats halo is gonna do well, you know why? because a wide majority of halo players are in it for the story, why because the story is -Blam-ing awesome, CoD dont really have a super amazing story that theres over 10 different books for between novels, to comics, to graphic-novels. your basing this whole thing off of the multiplayer which is entirely unfair, you fail, shut up, if you like CoD so much get off of here, delete your bungie account, and go suck off infinity ward, k?

Can't we all agree that Halo is 10x better then CoD, and not call people who think this fanboys?

  • 11.12.2009 3:52 PM PDT

I am flatterd that you botherd to look at my signature.

the Call of duty that was supposed to brwal against halo3 was Cod4...they released in the same year...halo3 out sold it and has more online players...

MW2 was put up against an older game..it took two MW's to compete with one halo...and Mw2 probibly won't last as long as halo did anyways....

Im sure reach will hit hard..halo always hit's hard and keeps on going..Mw hits hard and then stops....thats why they make so many in such a short time..becuase that's the only way they can hope to compete.

Halo lasts twice as long before it needs another installment...Mw is so short it always needs another quikly..
