I hate to say it. Because Reach is my favorite game. But. This is the death week for Reach.

MW3 and Skyrim are going to completely kill it.

Maybe the Anniversary will be the shock to the system that Reach needs because it will be on the same severs. But who knows.

Pay your last respects by getting some perfections this week.

It's been fun Halo Reach, thanks for the memories.

Why would I want to respect a game that killed my favourite gaming franchise?

All these are bound to change over time obviously.

Halo =/= MW3 or Skyrim.

These are three completely different gamestyles. Halo fans play Halo, COD fans play COD, and RPG fans play RPGs. Halo isn't going to die just because some highly anticipated games are coming out.

As a Halo Fan. Me and around 60%-60people- off my friends list. Are going to be getting Skyrim.

There goes around 1/10th of the Obj playlist.

Skyrim is still not Halo though. People will be playing Skyrim that also play halo, but you aren't going to give up Halo completely for one game. It is basic human behavior. Nobody in their right mind will play one game for a year straight. I'm sure you and 60% of your friends list will also play Halo when you feel Skyrim isn't as for-filling as it was at release.

I'm not happy about it. I'll miss Jet Packing really bad and probably still play Reach, but not as much. Skyrim will just be too good.

No, D-day is December 25th is, when all the 10 year olds get MW3 and all the new games that came out this year. It's like this for every old-ish game. It's like puberty, you can't stop it from coming once you come to that certain age. <-- like that analogy there?

Why would they play Halo when MW3 is out?

Because some people don't want to play MW3?

Possible. But as it stands right now.

Halo is dead until Halo 4.

Honestly I'd say Bungie killed the franchise by selling to 343 and offering no new maps or any DLC in months. Reach could have been more widely liked if Bungie had actually tried, instead I feel they got their money and stopped caring.

The only "new" maps theys gave us were made by the community (so everything is grey, dark colors). The maps they gave us at the start were a lot of the time Halo 2 maps.

The gameplay of Reach though, I wouldn't say that killed the franchise. It's a fun game in need of more varied and original maps.

Agreed. Reach earned its fate. Hope it stays dead...

There is still community for Halo Wars, not very big but still if I want to play I can. Hal Reach will fare fine, it will still be in the top ten. Even if there are only 30,000 players online it will be there.

Tank beats everything!!!

I hate COD and Skyrim....deal with it

LAWL "30,000" players a year after release? What a JOKE!

If Bungie actually listened Reach wouldn't be the way it is now.

I'll make a tribute by playing Reach, Halo 1, Halo 2, and Halo 3 on Heroic.

"This is how Halo is meant to be played.", and so it shall be.

"For us, the storm has passed. The war is over. But let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return. For their decision required courage beyond measure..."

You act as though we are all buying those games, and after a couple weeks the population for Reach will be zero. THAT would mean its dead.

But, if you have half a brain you realize that's not true. It's population won't be very high, but far from dead.

Now please, for the love of god, please stop misusing the word dead. It's driving me crazy.

Halo wars has stood the test of time, and better yet, has proven, it is the best RTS on the console, simply because it hasn't died yet. Every RTS that came before it is dead, except good old Halo Wars.
