Halo Reach is by far the worst thing that has ever happened to Halo. Halo Reach killed the series and made CoD into the FPS powerhouse.
What an ignorant statement. Call of Duty 4 turned CoD into the "FPS powerhouse." Modern Warfare 2 broke all types of sales record because that's what the fickle "fans" want: Something easy to play with a feeling of customization (classes). You would say that Reach drove away the initial population of upwards of a million players via bad gameplay or whatever. The simpler, more logical conclusion is that people came to Reach expecting something new and different, but despite all the changes Bungie made to the core gameplay, it was still Halo. So the CoD fans dropped the game and went to Black Ops once it came out.
Call of Duty is the new "it" game. This was going to happen. Don't blame Halo's fade in popularity on Reach. It had already happened.
Halo 3 beat CoD4 in daily players
Halo 3 beat CoD WaW in daily players
Halo 3 pretty much tied Mw2 in daily players, even though it was 3 years old at this point
Reach has about 1/8th of the daily players that Black Ops has.
Reach failed miserably.
You decide whether or not a game fails by how many daily players it has? You will never play or meet more than half of those players, and unless some of those people are your friends, the amount of players online is completely irrelevant to your experience of the game.
There is a history of other great games in the past being big hits but never sold/retained players well due to bad marketing and competition.
You strike me as a person who would fall into peer pressure easily. It's not them who decides that Reach is a failure, it's your own viewpoint, your own perspective, and your own opinion that decides that. If it so happens that you agree with a lot of people who dislike the game, then that's great for you. Maybe you can all play the game you hate together.
Amount of players = popularity.
If no one is playing it, or not as many are playing it as there used to/should be, then the game is bad. People aren't playing it because it's bad.
Halo 3 had 250,000 people online at any given time all the way up until 2010. By January 2011 Halo Reach was already down to 150k at a time. Now I think it is at like 125k at a time.
Reach failed, fact.
lol @ you saying I'd fall for peer pressure because I called Reach a bad game. Guess what, I've played it. It's terrible, and it's not even Halo. They should have just called it Fall of Reach, or something dumb like that.
