With Reach being so bad, people are really excited to see what the new halo game is like. That's my take on it.

If people were reviving your favorite series that was rumored to be discontinued would you be excited? The only reason it doesn't seem like that is because 343i "revived" halo in a very swift manner.


How is that even relevant? Halo was never rumored to be discontinued


I dunno, when bungie calls it their "swan song" and says that it's likely that they will never make halo again, I think that counts as having something discontinued.
The only people who would hear Bungie say that phrase are those who are "hardcore" fans and therefore informed fans.

What kind of hardcore and informed Halo fan would be ignorant to the fact that Halo is simply being made by new people? It's not some secret, in fact it's quite out in the open.

Why is COD so popular?

Kids.

Simply enough, more 12-year-old Youtubers = more views.

COD is so popular because its so easy. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE can get a kill in a COD game.

I gave my controller to my friends 3 year old sister, she started chewing on it and got a kill in game.

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

I don't believe the information about 343i really got out until a bit before anniversary was announced, after bungie left the scene. If they did announce themselves genuinely as developers of games (rather than just the merchandise sect) please link.

The way that it got to informed fans but not fans who dig (like me) was when halo 4 was first announced.

Again, Halo = cash cow, 343 = newest (and only) managers of the franchise.

Put the pieces together.

I swear, no lie. I had to go to the bathroom so I just handed her my controller. I came back to see her chewing on the back shooting a shotgun repeatedly.

I assumed 343 only was doing other merchandise. And even after that, I did not assume they would make Halo 4 simply because the story ended with closure.

I'm guessing many did figure your point out, though.

I'm guessing it's just that more people have gotten into gaming within the past 2 years. That and people being tired of stupid spinoffs.

Hey bro! :D

That's neat, but I doubt it's really a popularity thing, since Reach sold better than Halo 3 and 2.

It's probably because Reach is a spinoff imo

And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

There's a bit more action going on in the Halo 4 trailer. That's part of it.

  • 01.10.2012 4:27 PM PDT

This thread is full of fail.

In order for someone to see how much action is going on in a trailer, or what characters are in the trailer, you must WATCH the trailer. So to the people saying

"Because Halo 4 had more action in it" or "The Halo 4 trailer had the chief in it" You need to understand the person didn't know what the trailer was going to be like vefore they watched it.

I believe its because sooo many agames where at E3 this year, and it was a very big year for gaming. The bigger the event, the more viewers it will attract.

I don't mean to brag I don't mean to boast but I got hummus for these MINI TOASTS!

Umm....who isn't excited for Halo 4

You also need to understand that one automatically assumes that Halo 4 is a continuation of Halo 3 and therefore has Master Chief in it. That alone piques peoples' interest. One also assumes that if there's a colon in the title of a game, it's probably a spin-off title that deviates from the main story and its characters, which is what I assume happened.

I thought e3 2010 was bigger than e3 2011...?

This guy.

I know it won't live anywhere near anyones expectations. 343i, a new company? People thinkign they can create some amazing AAA game, with the most fun and balanced multiplayer, with 5 Forgeworlds where you can create anything, and spawn anything? Seriously? There isn't a single company, not even Bungie, nor Treyarch, or any other gaming company that has spent years creating big game that can pull something like that off. Hell, 343 can even make a website, or arcade game without a -blam!-on of glitches and exploits. 120,000 CR every hour in Halo:Reach, because they didn't test there product?

HOWEVER, i do believe they will have a very detailed campaign. That is what I like about them a lot, is they really focus on the storyline.

Reach was only good in trailers, the final product was not good at all.

I can't tell whether Halo 4 is good or not, so far 343i haven't done anything. Halo CEA was made with multiple studios, even the new map packs were made with a different studio.

However 'They are good' in just updating Reach MM and talk and talk and talk, and nothing more but talk. No actions.

Because casuals care about master chief, while competitive players care about game play.

Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

The only peice of info you need to concern yourself with..

IF Halo 4 comes out using Matchmaking and all of its failures.
Then it will follow in the footsteps of Reach.

Either that, or make a TON of playlist to cater to each map/gametype combo.

OR you can do what you're most likely going to do, which is try to harshen the quit ban...Yeah, that'll fix it. NOT!

I'm tired of matchmaking dragging down what was once a great game. Why aren't you?

Vote Dedicated Servers and Server Browsers for Halo 4.

Just to get the ball rolling, who wouldn't want to play this?

64 player servers running SWAT CTF on the entirety of Forge World. (Fleshed out with a higher budget)

Don't lie.

You are using youtube... That's the first problem. Most of Halo's advertisements are via XBL, ESPECIALLY Reach's advertisements. Plus, Halo 3's trailer came with the X-box if I recall. This means that people who didn't have internet saw the trailer, then went and showed their friends at the library or something.

Reach being bad has nothing to do with it's trailer views, btw (they came out before the game did). And Reach (even though it's not as good as H3 imo) has become more popular these days then it was when it first came out (notice all the low-ranks in MM? Lot of people got it for Christmas) so this probably got more people interested in Halo 4.

Plus with H4, it's more of a guessing game as to what's going to happen in it, so people have been watching the trailers religiously, looking for clues.

That's my theory anyways lol

You just stated the answer for yourself. ALl my friends think Reach campaign was lame due to MC's absence. So does most Halo fans. I don't like it either, but for the lame storyline and mediocre level development.
