7TH place on the XBox Live activity chart

ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC.......



Do you remember a time when Halo used to rule Xbox Live?



Halo 2 - Ruled at number one on Xbox Live for YEARS


Halo 3 - Kept trading places back and forth with MW2 for 1st place. Did Great on the charts.


Halo: Reach - 7th f**king place? Are you kidding me?



Bungie, admit you messed up on Reach. You sucked all the competitive fun out of it, and turned Halo into a random dumbed down casual game.



You took out 1-50, which gave players motivation to play. you created bloom, which is random and breaks gameplay, and completely lessened the skill gap. and armor lock, nuff said.





You know its bad when, Halo, the flagship series for Xbox, is in 7TH PLACE after being in first with each previous Halo title. The numbers speak for themselves, Halo: Reach is an abomination to the Halo franchise.



Halo: Reach = a total and utter failure

How is Skyrim number 3?
That game is just single player.

I find it sad that Reach is getting beat by a sports game. Whats more sad is that sports game is a Soccer game.

Skyrim has been one of the most popular Role playing games for a long time, it's not really a supirse that alot of people play it.

Just wait for H4.

343i can't possibly make a worse game than Bungie.

Even if they tried. I don't think it's possible for 343I to make a Halo game more worse then Reach. Hell I don't think they could even make one that's is as worse as Reach.

I really don't care. So long as the MLG playlist stays populated, I'm good.

I thought "Xbox Live activity chart" are games that are most active by multiplayer.

It's for the most played games on Xbox live, not just multiplayer.

I would like to be a Mythic Member, or a mod.

REALLY BAD. I believe I deserve it, I am very loyal to the dear Bungie forums and want to keep everything in tip-top shape. Its always a real pleasure to be on the forums and I want to be recognized here.

How is it Bungies fail if people are interested in other games?

Basically bungie just got so far up themselves ... they put more effort into ban tools than making a game which didnt need them. Did they do it on purpose or have they completely lost it?

They also put more effort into other useless stuff like Armor Permutations, and Armor Effects.

  • 12.15.2011 4:28 AM PDT

Wow, that's pretty bad. I could see MW3 and BF3 beating out lolReach but MW2? C'mon, How old is that game?

Seeing this makes me wonder how people can defend Reach. Yeah, I still play it, but only because I don't like any other FPS.

I'm not disagreeing entirely with the OP; however, to be fair we must realize that Reach is a year old game. The reason a 2 year old CoD is up there is because there's 2 recent CoD games that have come out. People who don't have MW3 are playing MW2 and Black Ops. When H4 comes out, Reach's population will similarly increase.

And we should also remember that CoD is more popular than Halo. It's more accessible, more modern, and there's a new one ever year. That's why Microsoft wants to put out a new Halo every year.

MW2 came out in November 2009.

What's also sad about Reach is that it's right above Gears 3. That game has about less then 50,000 playing it. But that's like any Gears game. They have small communities.

I wouldn't say Reach is an "Epic Fail," but it is most certainly a fail compared to the previous Halo installments.

Because we, as a Halo community, haven't seen this before with any Halo game. That's why.

"What's up baby, how are you doin'? I hate the sound of my own voice and I been invited here to distract my self from the fact that I wrote all of this garbage."

Don't know if you're aware but Halo 3 rarely had to compete with Modern Warfare games.

And if the reason that Reach is being outplayed is because it's for "casuals", why is it being beaten by three Call of Duty games and FIFA?

1) Bungie isn't running Reach any more 343 is.

2) Because of this, despite them making it, they don't work on it any more

3) Don't like it don't play it.

4) Stop wasting your time making pointless complaint threads.

Fail.

  • 12.15.2011 6:13 AM PDT

I miss Halo. Maybe Halo 4 will change that.

Edit: Lol nope

1)Bungie made the game, and is the reason it is massively unliked.

2)Because they gave up. I don't blame them, M$ was pressuring them into something they didn't want to do, even if the community that gathered around them wanted it.

3)Doesn't apply, because I enjoy it from time to time, but this was aimed at the OP and not me so feel free to ignore this.

4)It's one way of catching the attention of Bungie/343i and the reason forums exist. Don't like it, don't click to see it.

Too long, did not read.

Skyrim should be #1 though.

  • 12.15.2011 8:20 AM PDT

Well for a game that is over a year old, 7th isn't bad. Reach has it's issues but still is a good game and I enjoy plaing it.
