Subject: Why Reach has a lower population.

It also doesn't help that all the former halo fan boys (converted to CoD when MW-MW2 came out) switched to Black-ops a month after reach came out. Now MW3 came out which was another blow to the MM . I hope that Halo 4 will save the best franchise from being just another game on the shelves that collects dust.


What Halo 4 does or does not do for the series is already irrelevant. 343i announced it as part of a trilogy. It could suck complete ass and there will still be 2 more games after.

If H4 is complete ass 343i will lose more than half of the Halo community. They have one chance to get it right, if they don't goodbye.

Truth.

The franchise will be done if H4 is on par with lolReach.

So its just a coincidence that Reach is the only game to stay behind GoW, BF, and Fifa when those games have been around for quite some times?

Halo 3 also had to deal with Gears 2, CoD 4-MW2, ME/2, and multiple other titles. Guess which one consistently came out on top? Halo 3, with fights between Halo 3 and MW2 for the top spot. But it never went under second.

lolreach is in 6th. To a Fifa title, and a 2 year old CoD game Halo 3 beat out.

Don't try to make excuses for the low population, it's because Reach was bad and millions of people stopped playing.

Oh no! He realized that a conclusion drawn by seeing certain facts and anecdotal evidence is an opinion!

Tool.
No, it is an opinion Just because X-amount of people say a game is bad does not make a game bad. It's all about personal preference. I could say Coca-Cola tastes like monkey-butt and its the worst soda ever, regardless of sales, but that's just my opinion on it.

No its more like saying the new flavor of coke taste like crap and people say no its the best. Then you look at sales and see normal coke was always the #1 or #2 most drank beverage and the new flavor is #6 behind Pepsi, Vitamin Water, etc.

If you think it tastes terrible and you find something that implies you're correct, then you're free to have that opinion. I called you a tool because you felt the need to inform the community at large that a poster in this thread for hypotheses on why the population is lower and what it implies was posting an opinion.
Right, a hypothesis in a thread that has been brought up plenty of times in the forums. I did the exact same thing he did.

Millions of players stopped playing - Fact

Why? Because reach was bad to them.

Really?

Halo 3 dealt with CoD games also, and GoW2, along with other titles such as AC2.

Your "fact" is irreverent. Reach is terrible and cannot even be compared to the original trilogy. It doesn't feel like Halo, and the way 343i is handling things by splitting the community even more with over 9000 playlists, it is never going to be.

When a Halo game is being beaten by a sports game, you know it must suck.

It's because Reach has no master chief. It's like a Mario game without mario.

lol yes there are more games to contend with but the overall population of xbl has at least tripled so that is no excuse.

  • 11.16.2011 3:21 AM PDT

This is a Reach account that I created the day they announced his name in a bnet weekly update. Any stats regarding ODST or Halo 3 are irrelevant. Also, Halo CE master race. Halo 1 > other halo games > other games.

Account Status: Silver :(

*Sigh* Another OP that obviously started with Halo 2.

Halo Reach has many flaws and is not what I expected or hope. That being said, I absolutely hate when people try to pretend Halo 2 was the greatest game of all time. It wasn't. Halo 2 and Reach are the low points in the series with out a doubt. Halo 2 had ZERO competition so obviously it topped the charts, but in reality Halo 3 is by far the most successful in the series (attention wise, sales wise, mlg wise). Halo 1 is still the best in my opinion, but many people started with Halo 2 and have a very biased opinion based off it being their first online experience. Halo does not need to go back to Halo 2 roots. Halo needs to build off what Halo 1 and 3 did right and leave the past in the past.

Sales comparison:
Halo 3
Halo Reach
Halo 2

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Or people just don't like it.

No, that's just crazy talk...

This is partially true but I think people meant it population compared to other recent games not other halos
