Subject: Halo Reach still number 5 on Xbox Live activity list

Reach used to be #6 for the longest time so it's nice to see it on the rise again.

WHY DO PEOPLE STILL CARE ABOUT THIS.

I swear, all of you are complete morons.


I care, personally, because everybody was constantly saying how bad Reach is and how nobody will keep playing it. It was condemned time and time again as something that will die off and be forgotten. Now, after almost two years, it's still in the top 5. That's pretty good and says something about what people really think about it.

Want a cool clan? Join FRAG!

Want a war sim? The best war sim in Halo, Forerunner Conflict.

Seems the hype for H4 has helped H3 and Reach rise in population.

This is probably true ^

What's even funnier is that Halo: Reach was crucified for having armor abilities, but now it's exciting for Halo 4.

Because it's the closest game to Halo 4 right now, and people want Halo 4 pretty badly.

It's like when a steady amount of population trickled back to Halo 3 right before Reach.

You misunderstood me. I don't understand how people crucified Reach for having Armor Abilities and such, but now are excited for a game which not only has them, but is MUCH more similar to Call of Duty than to past Halo titles.

AAs sucked in Reach. But Halo 4... It's so shiny...
^ That's why.

Shine Brighter.

This
I wasn't counting cod4 as one of the popular ones. Cod didn't pick up until the first modern warfare, which was after world at war, and it blew away halo 3 sales which had previously blown away the top sales before that. And subsequently each release of cod after that has had higher sales than the previous.


And this
Halo Reach actually made more money on release day than Halo 3 did. Personally I don't think that cod4 would be higher than Reach on the charts if Reach was released during Halo3's time period.

Halo 4 is not going to dominate Call of duty. I don't even like CoD that much but i play mw3 and Reach and i prefer Reach. But Halo 4 is trying to win over the crowd by implementing similar features from CoD into Halo to make the crowd feel more at home. But in all Reality why play a Halo thats LIKE call of duty...when you can just play Call of duty? and Black Ops 2 is being released around the same time-frame. People want Halo to be like Halo, if we wanted a different game, we'd just play a different game. Halo 4 is going to be overshadowed by Call of Duty even more-so this time around by following in its footsteps instead of remaining a unique FPS.

I won't be getting Blops 2 or Halo 4.
Though i did enjoy Reach as a Halo game, which seems to be so looked down upon.

It's a year and a half old game. This is actually not a bad thing.


For a stand alone game.
If you start saying that "it's good for a Halo game", then no, it's terrible.

You have to keep in mind that Halo isn't as big as it used to be. So actually, despite what you may think, it's still not a bad thing.

I do keep it in mind.


I also keep in mind is mostly due to Reach.

I'm kind of surprised it's even in the top ten... with it generally hanging around 30,000 at night and over 100,000 during the day.

DERP. COD4 was the first modern warfare.... and was BEFORE world at war (cod5), however world at war brought out the Zombies game mode

also opening sales just mean the game was hyped up really well, the game previous to it was awesome, or a mixture of both. Continued sales and population numbers are what really tell the tale of how good a game is

No, it is mostly due to MW2.

No, I'm not perfect, but I have the feeling you're the kind of person who is used to meeting imperfect people on the internet.

ehh, I can still play it whenever I want, so why should I care how many other people are playing?

You misunderstood me. I don't understand how people crucified Reach for having Armor Abilities and such, but now are excited for a game which not only has them, but is MUCH more similar to Call of Duty than to past Halo titles.

The only people excited for things like default sprint, armor abilities, loadouts, etc are the people that actually like halo reach, people that like cod, or they are already fanboys for a game that hasnt come out yet.

For those saying cod is the reason halo barely can keep top5, Halo3 held its own against what was considered the glory years of COD MP. COD and Halo3 were neck and neck and COD was releasing a new game every year. People were hooked on Halo3.
Halo Reach comes out and the game is awful and nobody plays it. COD has little to do with it. Halo simply tanked itself.

What happened with Halo 3 was, people went back and forth playing both COD and Halo3. What happened with Reach was, people got rid of the game or just quit. That's got nothing to do with COD.

halo only has itself to blame.

i also find it funny that at one point halo reach was getting beat by mw3, blackops, AND mw2. This was when reach was #7 on the charts. LMFAO and people still want to defend why halo reach is doing so -blam!-. -blam!- fanboys.

There's nothing wrong with it being beat by FIFA. it's massive here in the UK and in Europe. It's also another game that comes out every year, and FIFA got a serious popularity boost with 12. Mostly due to KSIOlajideBT...

... You do realize this thread is about how it moved up, right? Please, blind haters, don't even try to hate on this game anymore. Halo: Reach is beating every other game that came out before it now, and is losing only to games that came out after.
