ATTENTION MODERATORS. My latest ban (14-day ban from Qbix89) is not legitimate, take a look for yourself. Please review this before considering me a "repeat offender". Thank you.

I don't predict the next Halo series will fair that well either, no matter who's working on it or how its made... because it either isn't 'realistic'(Battlefield/Medal of Honor) enough, 'bad ass'(Gears of War, Marcus Fenix) enough or both(general CoD games).

Back in the day when Halo CE came out it had the market on 'realistic' and 'bad ass', it was only a matter of time before developers decided to either focus on one aspect or both to bring Halo to a less successful and more ignored end.
True, but I find it odd that Halo 3 withstood in terms of popularity for two years by being number one, then by being number two after MW2's release until Halo: Reach released. Yet Halo: Reach is number three, even though it is a year newer than one of the two of the games beating it.

As I stated: Reach is generally a weaker game (it was too cluttered with stuff, primarily a half working bloom and armor abilities... plus the weaker spartans)

That, and Halo 3 to close out a trilogy and basically a cultural movement. That was when Halo was trendy... everything beyond has been gimmicky or felt like an ad on (Though, I loved ODST and is actually my favorite installment).

I still think the "out trending" happened way too soon.

Trust me... I agree. I love Halo way too much to see this happen to it.

You've failed to mention BF3.


On topic: I play games for community fun. COD will never deliver that kind of enjoyment to me. Ever. I do not play Halo Reach MM unless I'm with at least three of my friends. Forging and Custom Games are what keep me coming back (Although there are flaws, but then again, every game has them.) I never dug COD after Modern Warfare 1. That's my opinion.



My point is, the people who are die hard halo fans will continue to play until the final Matchmaking game has been served.


You basically said what I was thinking.

Even though I still play COD I never played MM for more than a week. I only ever play COD for Campaign or Zombies. I'll go to Halo for MM. I find COD MM frustrating.

R.I.P. Halo 2 <33333333
Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

This happens to every game, only reason i play reach now is because barely anyone plays halo 3. This cycle will always continue.

Hi, my name is Stolen_Zombie! My morning routine is to bomb the ocean, eat a house, drink salt water, and kill a zombie. Many people consider me a jack ass because I eat corn flakes, I tell those people to go have sex with a kangaroo. After my morning routine, I rage over beating LNoS on mythic so I can get one step closer to mythic reach completion. I should mention that's after school. My diet is shotgun shells and paper airplanes, nice to meet you!

October 25th will be death for this game
At least for me

Call of Duty is gonna be awful like always people only buyit for the word Call of Duty no one actually looks at the fact the game is just a ported version of the last with different maps and skins for weapons. It's utter trash and i think you forgot about the release of Halo CEA in November that will boost Reachs POP back up.

MW3 will be #1, Blops #2, and Reach #3 still. Majority of MW2s population will go to MW3. You have to remember COD has two developers with their own fans. Some like both, some dont.

Skyrim might be ahead of it for a little bit, but not very long.

You need to be more worried about making a Halo CE/2 kind of Halo rather than if its the most popular. I couldnt care less if Halo is #1 or #5, as long as its a good game. Which TU MLG settings are leading Reach into being.

mw3 is the only game that will slightly lower reaches population. And the people playing reach now are already choosing reach over other games,i think games like MW2 and BO will see population drops because of the new game in the series. Reach'es population may drop for a few weeks after MW3's release , but the CE anniversary will bring it back up to new highs

it's a fact that every other major Halo game (Halo games that had significance in the Halo franchise of games such as Halo 2 and Halo 3) released remained in the number one spot on the Xbox Live population leaderboards at least two years after release.


Are you serious? Halo 2 was number 1 over COD on the original XBOX? That's amazing. Remind me again, which COD was out when Halo 2 was out?

  • 09.26.2011 3:52 PM PDT

Well around this time, people would be sack riding MW2 just because they know MW3 is about to come out when they probably never even touched a CoD game. I'm not saying Anniversary is gonna make a huge difference to the Population (Maps & all), but there's still hope.

  • 09.26.2011 3:59 PM PDT

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Another thing, Halo 3 and MW2 were going back and forth for first place for a while. Reach comes around, and now both Blops and MW2 are easily beating it.


Reach was only in front of MW2 for the week of it's release.

Well OP, frankly, I don't give a crap if people stop playing. Is this supposed to stop me from playing? Because when November comes I'm still going to play Reach, and when Combat Evolved drops that same month, you can bet I'll be playing shotty and rockets when my bro's come back home for the holidays.

I am so going broke in November.
