Subject: Did Halo start to go downhill after Halo 3?

i liked all halo games because they all felt diffrent, but i have to say tho.. is when halo 3 came out a lot of casual gamers thought it was the best game ever and expected to stay the same and they just hated reach because it isn't halo 3. this comment is not aimed at every one tho.

Its due to super easy gameplay games sutch as Noob on Duty Casual Warfare 2, CoD Casual OPS etc.

Well this is not an opinion thread it can be proven that once halo 3 came out it started going downhill actually

If i could type you out a line graph i would but basically it starts going up hill when halo 1 is out, peaks the time halo 2 is out, and goes down from there.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

No. ODST was a great addition to the Halo series, however, Reach was not. Reach is a very good game, but its just missing that magic that it's predecessors have unfortunately.

Halo started going downhill when there was barely a year between each release. The anticipation from CE to Halo 2 then from Halo 2 to Halo 3 is what made each game feel worth it. Basically:

2001: Halo CE
Anticipation
Anticipation
Anticipation
2004: Halo 2
Anticipation
Anticipation
Anticipation
2007: Halo 3

Then:
2008: Halo Wars
2009: Halo 3: ODST
2010: Halo Reach

It started to feel like there was no time for people to dig in and really enjoy each game after Halo 3 was released. They started releasing a game per year and there was no genuine buildup of anticipation.

So, to answer your question, yes.


I agree with you but it's worse. Halo Wars came out March '09. ODST was released September '09. I hope there's no Halo game in 2013. There needs to be be a pause in the series.
