Subject: MW2 smashed H3 on day 1

First and formost Halo 3 is 2 years old.

In those two years Microsoft have sold one hell of a lot of consoles, so instantly you can't compare them accurately without a great deal of research.

Beating H3 sales in '07 by 1 million in '09 is smashing it? Halo 3 sales on Day 1 was 2.8 Million. So many more people have Xboxes now, video gaming is way more popular than ever before. If the market is larger, it will sell more games.

I would like to point out that ODST, a mere expansion to Halo 3, sold 2 Million in the first 24 hours. I don't think Reach is going to have any problems.


You just pwned the OP.

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..





Very true.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Halo 3 is the first Halo game to come out on the 360. MW2 is the 2nd (i wont count WAW) to come out. A more accurate comparison would be between Halo: Reach and MW2 (though you can argue that there will be a year in between, but then again its been 2 since Halo was released).

to be honest I think when people sees the name "Call of Duty" people immediatly think its gonna be the game of the year so everyone wants to buy it, just give it a few weeks and modern warfare 2 will become less popular. Im not saying its a bad game, the campaign is pretty good,( except for the terroist shooting people in the airport part, which made me lose most of my respect for the game)but I dont think the game is as great as every makes it sound, I think people will notice that soon

OP is 100% correct. ODST was the beginning of the end for the Halo series. Good riddance!

Why wont you count WAW? Infinity Ward has learnt a great deal from WAW on what the fans do and don't like.

Jesus, who pissed in your cereal?

Since it is a cross-platform game it should get more advertising. More advertising = More games sold even if the game does suck massive dick like MW2.

It was a mere expansion made in a year or 18 months by a small team from Bungie. Did you honestly expect so much out of an expansion? It's not even a full new game.

At least Bungie listens to its community. I've heard enough on the Infinity Ward boards.

I like MW2. Halo 3 kinda got old... Not saying CoD is better then Halo but for the time being MW2 will be a hold over till Reach...

Though the best game will still Halo 1.

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.

You're funny.

You think all those MW2 sales are of the same crowd as you? The vast majority of those who bought the game are the "casual" bunch, and they don't care about your values in the game at all. They just want to have fun.

When was the last time you just wanted to have fun?

R.I.P. Halo 2
11/9/04 - 4/15/10

- B( )B

Every moderately good game now days breaks the record. Reach will beat MW2's and MW3 will beat Reach's and some game will beat MW3's.

This means nothing.

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

Posted by: RELLIK PIR
H3 sold 3.81 Week 1
MW2 sold 3.85 DAY 1 low estimate. On 360 only

1. Halo 3 was only on the 360 as well.
2. Halo 3 was made over two years ago, obviously a brand new game would do better then a two year old game. Nice accomplishment there, MW2, your big bragging right is doing better then a two year old game.

And failing to do so with all your previous games.

It is so hilarious watching all the Halo fanboys making up excuses as to why Halo got out sold by what is the best game I have ever played.

The thing I love about the IW forums and the community is that people are so much more mature, I can actually find a match in MW2 where people aren't swearing, and work as a team! That is what draws me to MW2, unlike the immaturity of the Halo community, which is so blatantly obvious based off the replies in this thread.

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

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.


This is very true. The OP is conviniently leaving out the increase in gaming population over the years for the sake of his argument.

Gaming has increased in popularity. It went from a nerdy thing to do to something everyone does in their spare time. And naturally CoD would be the "go to" game with it's simple gameplay and relative storyline.

Halo is beyond popular. As was mentioned before, the expansion to Halo 3 sold tons on opening day. Reach will absolutely dominate.

Notice how Bungie has not sold out like Infinity Ward or any other developer that makes CoD games. If Bungie wanted sales to absolutely shred any record out there they would call it "Halo 4". No, it's called Reach. Only real Halo fans know what Reach is and what it means to the Halo storyline.

Most of the kill streaks you can unlock in MW2 were user suggested.
