Your an absolute mug

Halo used to rule the charts because it had less compitition.
More players does not equal better game
Reach is epic

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.


343i said that they didn´t want to make Halo into yearly releases.

7th place is not brilliant but it is a year old. As for being below mw 2, 3 and cod that doesnt supprise me, you have to remember that most of the games community are kids so of course the mw's will be popular because all the kids are playing it.
I have a friend on xboxlive that has until recently been playing mw2 for the 10 prestige (ranking up 10 times sounds like alot of fun to me...not) but each to thier own.
I would also say that mw2 and 3 are more popular because of all the people ranking guns up etc off each other. Modded lobbies and such like will also make them more popular and whilst I dont play it I hear there are enough of them.

The biggest fail on bungies part was the lack of support. We all ranked up to inheritor in under 8 months and waited for a tu but nothing came. With no support and the fact that no real changes have been made to game play etc and the lack of a lone wolf game type was a huge mistake. I still play reach almost every day but it doesnt keep me interested much any more since I have hit top rank the game holds no appeal to me.

I used to remember a day when all I could think about was reach I couldnt wait to finish work to play it, but those days are gone and Im back to watching tv now...lol.
So many things are wrong with reach its still playable but 343i carnt fix it enough it will always be broken lets just hope halo4 is better.

Halo 3: ReV Eskimo

eventually ill be back on Reach and CEA. i enjoy gaming for fun, im a great player and i enjoy smoking while i play. so any chill players feel free to add me. I in NO way support halocharts; old username.

just think of the xbox live games that never even reach the top 10, ever......of course reach was pretty bad in comparison to halo 2 and 3. lets just hope H4 takes back halo by its roots and balls and halo can take over 1st spot again.

The user, Forum, already made multiple threads on this.

However, I agree with your reasoning for its low spot on the charts. lolReach

Omgosh it's the #7 game played played out of thousands of titles?!?! That's horrible guys!


For a Halo title... YES it is!!

  • 12.15.2011 9:46 AM PDT

Has anyone noticed that Reach has now reached Bungie's favourite number in the charts? :)

Maybe that's what they were aiming for a year on?

  • 12.15.2011 9:54 AM PDT

Call me Stu

Skyrim Wooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 12.15.2011 9:55 AM PDT

sup?

lol, i giggled when i read 7th, thats bungies number, so i dont think they care, even if 343i have it now, i dont think they care either

  • 12.15.2011 11:22 AM PDT

What do you people not understand? Reach only exists because Bungie had a contract with Microsoft to make 2 more Halo games before they can become independent. ODST was the first, (remember when it was just going to be DLC? They made it a full game instead of course so they only had 1 more game to make) and the second was Reach.

Bungie completely checked out of the Halo business with 3. They could care less if Reach sucked or not. They only made it because they had to.

Fix'd. The majority of CoD Players immmature youngsters. I mean, Some go so far to think it is realistic and tons of other stuff. And CoD Is way too easy to play.

They might be number 7 but 7 is their lucky number.

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

I used to think rankings matter like you. Then I took an arrow to the knee..

But seriously, maybe I'm just jaded, but about 90% of our species can barely feed themselves. I don't expect them to make intelligent decisions as a group. I expect them to make increasingly stupid decisions as a group until this planet collapses under the sheer mass of ignorance sitting on it's crust. The fact that Halo is still on the list at all makes me worry. The way things are going, Halo 4 will end up being another CoD clone. And Halo 5 will just be Angry Birds, provided the general population at that point still possess the capacity to comprehend angular momentum..

  • 12.15.2011 12:15 PM PDT

Wow, complaining that Halo Reach is the 7th most played game on XBL.
Also, think about this question. What is Bungie's favorite number?

343i can't possibly make a worse game than Bungie.
What is wrong with you? You wouldn't even be here on this forum if it wasn't for Bungie. Get over yourself.

/end thread

Seriously, you take a game thats over a year old, and claim it fails because its #7. Look at that list. Do you see Gears of War 3? A game that came out around 3 months ago and is below a year old game? Yet you say Halo:Reach is terrible because its #7, yet Gears of War 3, and Halo:Reach are still both good games. Gears was #3 back in Halo 3's days, it must mean its terrible!

you would care about placement...noob

  • 12.15.2011 3:07 PM PDT

Halo 2 had absolutely no competition for the entirety of its 'life cycle.'

Halo 3 fell to third a year before Halo: Reach came out and never went above that since.

Halo: Reach maintained that third place until all these new titles started coming out, at which point players wanted to play other games.

I haven't touched Halo: Reach but once since September. I still realize it is an amazing game. So... that sort of makes you look silly.

Just wait for H4.

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


I sincerely hope that's right.
