Subject: If CoD is the reason for Reach's popultaion

If the success of Call of Duty is the reason of Reach's pathetic population, why do I hear SO MANY community commentators and forumgoers are disappointed with lolReach?

I mean, I remember reading a thread where the guy said "Armor Lock made everyone leave", and then someone else told him that CoD was the reason everyone left.

If that was true, I would at least expect that the community who stayed likes Reach, but that's not even the case. All youtube commentators I've found despise Reach, and I pretty much spend all my free time no-lifing in youtube.

"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth."

-Marcus Aurelius

Halo was a victim of it's own success. Look at all the different game modes and game types Halo has given people over the years. Co-op campaigns, forge mode, theatre mode, file sharing, Hardcore competition, relaxed social gaming, griffball, living dead, racing, zany custom games. The list goes on and on.

If you ask 10 people why they love Halo, you'll probably get 10 different answers. The problem Reach had is that there were many different sub-communities to cater for. Sometimes when you try and please everyone, you just please no one.

The best thing Halo 4 could do is go back to being a Sci-Fi shoot 'em up. The other, more novelty, gametypes would make excellent stand alone titles on XBLA. Just imagine an official Griffball game.

Opinions are like butholes. Everyone's got one, nobody wants to hear about it.

CoD was the reason for the population. That's why it was only one place below it (at least until new games came out).

MW3 Sucks.

OP, calling Reach lolReach hurts your argument. Its an insult to yourself more than the game. If you dislike a game, be a man about it. I also bet that you will ignore my post, and continue doing what you do best: Beating your opinion into the minds of others.

Why are so many people concerned with population? Honestly, until it becomes so low that I can't play, or I get so angry at the game I stop playing, I couldn't give a -blam!-

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

Because Halo's main fanbase, the competitive players, dislike lolReach because of AAs, bloom, grenades, etc. And all of the casual FPS players enjoy COD (generalized statement, albeit mostly true). This left Reach with the favor of neither competitive or casual players, so very few still truly 'like' it.

Reach is bad. If it was good, it wouldn't be losing to MW2 on the top played charts.

There are a lot of juggernauts in the console shooter market now. Gears, cod, and battlefield had no where near the market penetration as they do in their current iterations. That's not even considering some of the little guys like crysis and brink.

Another factor is the "purism" of Halo. Other games reward players much more often keeping casual gamers interested for long periods of time even if they only play a couple games ever couple days. Quick ranks, new unlocks, customizing your character. Little things that the purist Halo community would cry foul over.

Another factor is just trendiness. Face it. Halo is like the MySpace of video games. It was popular at a time but now a similar service, Facebook, is more popular. The masses are finicky.

Everyone who quit Halo after Reach was released disagree.

No, just thought that it was a little ignorant on your part.

Here's how you could remove the ignorance from your post:

Most people who left Reach thought it wasn't fun.

Everything we post are opinions. It doesn't really add anything to post that they are opinions. In my -blam!- opinion.

How so? It's well known that, with the exception of the recent ZBNS MLG playlist, Halo 3 is widely preferred among competitive Halo players.

Halo has always been about casual gamers. I'm a casual gamer, and I prefer H3 over Reach any day.
