Subject: Why halo reach wasn't as successful.

Your mom is a dude

I love this game... I swear... But I will tell you why this games was not as good as intended in one single quote.

"I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure, which is: try to please everybody." - Herbert Bayard Swope


Ergo: Communities' fault for crying over everything and Bungie's for listening...

Yeah im saying I agree with you. Why can't the community stop complaining about what they want, and be thankful for what they have? Reach is a great game. It has good things and bad things. I swear the community only focuses on the bad things.

No, Reach is just a legitimately BAD game. How do you explain its online population being lower than Halo 3's after H3 was out for 3 years?

Is it because reach is just so amazing? No, it's because it's terrible.

This is another thing. People comparing Reach to Halo 3 and other games to prove how 'bad'is it. Yes, its not doing as well as Halo 3, anyone can see that. Does that mean its a bad game? No, it doesn't. Stop comparing it to other games and see that it has had 400 000+ unique gamers on in the past 24hrs, which is really good. Good as H3? No. Good when not compared to other games? Yes.

Just my opinion, no need for hate.

You can't compare Reach's population to other games' population. Well, you can but what you've got to take into account is that Halo 3 came out in 2007? Where it had no competition from any other games.

Halo: Reach has to compete with all these new multiplayer games such as GOW 3, MW3 ... And so on.

I didn't compare Reach to 07 H3 I compared it to 2010 H3, and H3 won.

Your move.

I forgot to mention that MW3 JUST came out and GoW didn't come out until September. Reach didn't have to compete with either for like a year. Your excuse is not valid.

I never said it was an excuse. And if you look I added "and so on" meaning other multiplayer games, not just those two.

If you're trying to pick a fight you won't get one from me.
I'm going to leave this thread.

I DO have time to bleed...i just dont want to.

dont get me wrong i like reach quite alot but the thing i think thats wrong with it is i thing they tryed to make it too realistic. i meen halo games is about jumping from grate hights and being unharmed and the old shoot/melee combo(bleed through sheald/health) i like armour abilitys in reach but i hope no other halo games will have them in the future.

I don't mind the Armour abilities in Reach, but some of them can be quite over-used. Mostly Jet packs and Armor Lock. Then again, If you know how to properly use It, then you wouldn't have a problem with It. Why is Sprint even a power ability? They should just have Sprint ALREADY as a default power ability.

lol the game is bad because Bungie LISTENED to the community? This game languished unchanged for months and months while the population dwindled and Bungie sat on their hands making very slight playlist changes claiming they were "listening" to what we had to say.

Of course we only focus on the bad things; there are no good things to focus on....

Not to mention Halo 3 had to compete with CoD4:Modern Warfare, which is arguably the Best CoD....

2010 H3 was also competing with MW2, another huge CoD game.


MW2 was much more popular than Halo 3 on the 360 platform alone.
