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.

No, it is mostly due to MW2.



Reach shot itself in the foot.
CoD simply starting aiming their hits towards it.

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.

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.

^Wrong^

Personally, I loved Reach. I mainly used sprint, but I loved the variety. I was pissed off about how crappy the AR is, and how most weapons are hitscan, not bullet travel.

At first, I was unsure about Halo 4. Then I got excited. Then I learned about weapon customization, that made me frown a bit.

Then I remembered how GoW implemented the weapon system without breaking the balance. I learned that we'll only start with the main weapons: Dmr, Br, AR, pistol, or carbine. So I'm like: this may work out.

But then I saw that we'd have 2 armor specializations, and that ticked me off. The whole idea behind every Halo series was that we all start on equal playing fields except on asymmetrical maps. Either way, we take same damage, movement, hp, ect. With these specializations, they change that. There's different HP regen, ammo, ect. Now, instead of getting killed by skill, the outcome of the battle resides on what perks you have. Stupid. 343i just aggravated me. Now Halo's like CoD but with shields.

Remember, I loved Reach, with a few exceptions, but I am not feeling great about Halo 4. Proves your point wrong.

God, I wish someone just hacked them and removed specializations from the damn game.

please fanboys, dont even try to defend this game anymore. this lasted all the way into january.
... 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.

You do realize that the op said its terrible that halo is a top 5 game now right? I guess reach fanboys have a low standard lmao.

Also, can you explain reach getting beat by mw3, mw2, and blackops? Halo 1, 2, and 3 would never get an embarrassing 8th place but i guess thats good enough for fanboys.

Er... you do realize 'fanboy' isn't exactly insulting, right? You're kinda making yourself look silly. I thought you should know.
:/

Anyways, your post wasn't about what the thread maker said. Yours was just blind hatred. So that is what I called you out on, kid.

Halo: Reach is being 'beaten' by Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty: Black Ops, rather than three of them. But that is beside the point. There are plenty of reasons Halo: Reach may be getting 'beaten.'

Every game above it came out after Halo: Reach did. After around seven years of Halo having no competition, people finally decided to move onto a new shooter. After all, the same style for seven years would get a little dull to a lot of people. Mixing things up a little is a good thing. Call of Duty is simply a more popular title now, as evidence by how Halo 3 was getting beaten by it before Halo: Reach even came out.

I can think of a couple more as well.
Halo: Reach is the fifth most played game. For any game, that is good. And for a Halo game, it is very good as well considering every factor in play (something you folks don't seem to like to do).

Halo: Reach is not only a good game, but it is a good Halo game as well.
