Subject: Well, my worst fears are confirmed.

Anniversary playlist search times are pretty decent. It's not dead. But it's not going to match Halo 3. Big deal?

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

60k=/=0 so game isn't dead

Good. I'll just stick to BF3.

I've only played one game of Anniversary Slayer, but it was still better than the time I've spent in BF3.
You poor soul. BF3 is a blast. You just need to learn how to approach it's required play-style.

60k players is "dead" according to console players? Hmm, under 100 players is dead to PC gamers... Ever thought you might be exaggerating when using the term "dead"?

You mean camping while prone with an IRNV sight?

Haha. So I take it you're the guy who's constantly sprinting straight up the middle of the map directly in the guys line of sight?

  • 11.15.2011 8:14 PM PDT

Camping? Cus going out into the field to get shot is a good idea right? It's a different type of game...and "camping" is an accepted part of it. Does that mean it can't be annoying at times? No. It can be frustrating but you don't feel wronged by people doing it.

GOW3
BF3
MW3
Skyrim
SR3
AC:R
CEA

The list goes on as to what people are playing. Its the season of new big hits so people are leaving their year old game alone now to play newer games. The game may be dying (im not saying it is/isnt) but you have to take into consideration other factors

No. I'm the guy with the IRNV. Boring as hell.

A game that promotes that type of gameplay makes me sleepy.

HA! That's your own fault then! The game doesn't promote that type of gameplay...your lack of ability does. If that's all you can do to maintain a positive K/D or help to win the game...that's just sad.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100

I think you'll find it's fairly subjective. I've got no issues with Battlefield, but the core combat mechanics in Halo have always been much more satisfying to me. The Anniversary gametypes, while not perfect, are enough of an improvement for me to actually enjoy playing Reach.

Prone can go suck some baboon balls though.

It's a weekday evening for most. Not a lot of people are working or in school at this time.


Yeah, well alot of "us" have:

-Homework
-Work (2nd shift)
-Take care of kids
-Exercise things other than our fingers and vocal cords.

Obviously not the hordes of "us" playing MW3, BO, BF3, and MW2.

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

60,000 is still a lot of people.

  • 11.16.2011 6:51 PM PDT

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

I saw the 24hr population at 293k, the lowest I've every seen a Halo game (the current installment).
Since Halo 2, I'm predicting?

I know this game has a lot of competition, but its population is 8-10 times smaller than it was at Halo 3's peak. Competition doesn't account for that many people.


That's because CoD happened, though. Honestly, I don't believe people left halo because it sucks. They left it because they like CoD more (for whatever reason).

Seems people beat me to it.

Pretty sure people left Reach because it sucks.

Is that why MW2 and BO are still #2 and #4 and they are 1-2 years old? Or that GTA4 is only 2 spots below Reach and is 3 years old?

Just saying. Not hating on Reach or anything but these excuses aren't working.
