ODST (and Wars to some extent) killed Halo's name. Retards bought it because it had Halo in the title and were surprised that they were sold the same multiplayer again.

Idk bout you but Reach is fine for me. Invited you last night to help me with an Invasion map idea I had. You were too busy -___-

I'm playin it all the time. Join meh sometime. Make some sweet invasion maps


I've been nonstop rage forging since the 29th of october trying to get ODST built.

I'm gonna put up a video later of what I have so far. But i'm afraid I'm just wasting my time. Nobody on my list does customs anymore.


I love customs myself:)

OP, I thought this was old news. Bungie butchered Halo, much like George Lucas butchered Indiana Jones. I have faith in 343i, but I am never again buying a Bungie game. They lied to their fans, ran Halo into the ground, and rode off with our money. -blam!- them.


Which is why you are on there website right now <3

And i'll take you up on that deal. $50 says the day they release the world premier trailer, you'll be posting in its forum saying how epic it sounds and looks.

And last post, no, Halo: Anniversary has sold like 600,000, and Halo 4 already 150,000 and a year away. I don't get why people are pre-ordering a game we have absolutely no clue on whats in it or whats it about, but hey.

Thanks Bungie for being an awesome developer!

It's not just a game that makes everyone feel like a winner at all times...

It's more popular because:

1: The playlists are seperated by gametype
2: It has join in progress
3: It doesn't try to ban you for quitting out of a match you don't belong in.

CoD wins this battle because it has a superior multiplayer matchmaking service.

Everyone is always -blam!-ing about skill level of players. Why? Because none of them can make a system that properly sorts by skill level. Trueskill is a myth.

So... People quit to do what trueskill couldn't.
CoD properly handles this.
Halo does not.

If the negative -15 guy quits. Who cares?
He might get replaced by someone who can actually hold around 1/1 and be an actual contributing member to the team instead of a punching bag in a game that they do not belong in.

But The competitive half of this community said
"NO! We don't want that!"
"We Prefer having them quit anyway, getting banned.. and we're still raping these few dumbasses who are actually scared enough of the ban to remain here in the game and pad our K/D Ratio's for us instead!"


Seriously. Blame the competitive half of the community for killing this game. Because they are -blam!- clueless, to how stupid they think. This game was compeletely catered to them. Yet they still think bungie catered it to casuals.

Casuals got -blam!- OVER! on Reach. You're stupid to think otherwise.


Bloom as an example.

What overcomes bloom? Teamwork, team shooting.

Causal = Solo player, no com, no team
Try Hards = Team player, plays in full teams mostly vs random solo casuals. Has Teamwork.

And These hardcore players are -blam!-ing about bloom catering to casual players? Are you -blam!- kidding me?!
Nice fanboyism...

u simply support bloom and blame this game on the competitive crowd.
Was that towards me? Because if that was you are hugely mistaken buddy.

as corny and pathetic of what im about to say will sound, as long as fans still exist and have that much hope for this withered legend, one day it will come back.... one day

Fads don't last for a decade. If you think Halo is dyeing then you can call it a trend going out of style. Halo is the X-Boxes Mario.. It might have some bumps along the way but I doubt it will ever truly die.

well only way to find out is wait and see

How could a Halo game be so short-lived?

I honestly believe it's of no fault of Reach that Halo's time in the spotlight has ended.
You do a wonderful job explaining how COD has taken over as "the game" to play...however you're lying to yourself and everyone else if you honestly believe Reach didn't play a factor in Halo's demise.

IF Reach were a better game, plain and simple, Halo would still be competing. There is no denying this. It is BECAUSE of Reach's failure to be a competent, true, and stunning "Swan Song" for the Halo franchise that we see Halo faltering so soon after a new release.

Is Reach solely responsible for the fall of Halo? No.

But it certainly didn't slow the process. In fact, it helped to speed it up.

In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

Halo's going to die if Halo 4 is anything like Reach. FACT!

  • 11.09.2011 1:22 AM PDT

There is a problem on this forum with people's definition of what a "dead" game is. This past weekend, CET, there were about 75,000 people online. Although this is a lot less than the population of some other major games, and a lot less than Reach's early population figures, it's still shows that there is, at any one time, MORE than enough people to be able to find a game. 75k is more than the capacity of a football stadium; if you can get 75k people to do ANY activity at any one time, that activity would be described as popular.

In contrast, back the days of the original xbox I used to play Doom 3 online, and even at peak times that game probably didn't have a population of even 100. It would often be the same people hosting games, and the same people joining those games. Yet it didn't matter - you played it, enjoyed it. I never heard anyone saying the game was dead, even though by today's standards it was a ghost-town of a game.

Basically, the devoted fans will keep playing no matter what other games are out.

O hai

343i forums aren't as active cause they aren't packed with the screaming 12 year olds and trolls yet.

  • 11.09.2011 1:56 AM PDT

We're not retreating... We're advancing, towards future victories!

Never realised how many drama queens there are in this community. Can honestly see why we're the laughing stock of the gaming world.

QFT

It's even funnier that nearly all the people complaining (or being depressed that the population is comparatively low) still play loads of Reach and find the time to talk about it on BNet more than a year after release.

  • 11.09.2011 4:45 AM PDT

Lol

All fads die out eventually. Halo is no exception.

I think it all depends on if 343 flops with Halo 4 or not.

I'm sorry, but how?

ODST was a side project, and the multiplayer aspect IS Halo 3.

Halo Wars is an RTS. I don't see how this killed Halo, especially when it's the best RTS on Console.
