But if Halo Reach played like it does today the day it was released. And had all the Maps, and playlist/game-types/modes/etc. that it has now... (Post Title Update changes, New Game-types and all DLC Maps.)
Would people of really Hated It?...
Easy answer ... YES.
Thanks to actual history of online player numbers we can see;
- that the week of its launch reach managed to claim the number one spot.
- and yet, in the next poll the online player count drops 2 places?!?
(yes, there is a count between these two numbers to which bungie cried foul, but it is no better)
So WHY would people buy a new game and stop playing it so soon?
Was it due to another new title, well the #2 position is held by a game that was already 12 months old ... mmm, not that.
Can already hear the keys tapping "but people hated it because it wasnt a real Helo game, 343 ruined it" ... well sorry, bungie wrote the game (not 343). And even with the game setting pre-release order highs based on pure hype the game still dropped quicker than any halo in the past.
