Subject: Halo 4 lost 76% of its population but is STILL 2nd on Xbox live.

People are such idiots.
Dropped because of COD, yet has double the population reach had a few months ago on average

Halo 4 is obviously a big failure... LOL

Now, where was reach 2 years ago after release back in 2010?

3rd

Seriously. Those who expected it to pass Call of Duty were idiots. But those who are saying the game FAILED for not passing COD are being more idiotic. Halo 4 is a successful game. The competitive community is a VERY small minority and are no where near as pissed of as they were with reach.
From a level headed person: Shut the hell up. The game is doing fine. Needs a TU though...

TL;DR Halo 4 is second most played game on live. Halo is not dead, neither did 343 fail.

Sales determining quality is an idiotic notion.
ps3>360 but check the US sales...

Wii Sports is the bets game this generation by your logic.

Im using the number of average number players online to determine the quality of the game. That is the standard of this forum.
People are saying Halo Reach is a better game, and that halo 4 is [i] TERRIBLE [i]
A terrible game is not second on xbox live. Halo 4 will not drop below 3rd. At any point this year and likely not for most of next.

Lol since when is that the standard? People here have been saying CoD and Reach suck for years, but they are some of the most played games out there. Sure some people use it to judge games while others don't. Using it to say a game is good or bad imo is quite pointless.

That is, without a doubt the stupidest thing I've ever read.
Not that your Opinion is that Cod is better, but the fact you say it is better because it has a bigger population (alot of which are kids, evidenced by the fact that the only people who bought it in my school are the year 7's and 8's)

I think this sums up your post

And people who honestly expect the barebones halo 2 style to work this gen are sad and pathetic. There are no grounds behind the theory of something that worked in 2004 will work in 2012. Its a god damn stupid thing for people to be complaining that halo 4 is further away from the gameplay principles of the original trilogy. Its what the series had to do for survival. Stop being ignorant.

lol no. nerf the DMR, boltshot. Buff the suppressor and thrusters. Remove instance respawns for some gametypes and you have a great game.

bolt shot? i laugh whenever someone charges at me with a charged boltshot trying to 1 shot me.

  • 11.29.2012 8:45 AM PDT

Then if you so wish, disregard that point. Take into account that a month after release, after COD's release Halo 4 is 2nd. Halo reach after black ops's release, was 3rd.
Yes, I know its not about population. But what else can we do to judge the game? Critics ratings? If so halo 4 bests reach (and some of the original trilogy) for that as well.

Come the -blam!- on. Its not about how 1337 you are or how easy it is to avoid it. One should NEVER EVER spawn with an instakill weapon. EVER. I bet you were the bull-blam!- portion of the community to think armor lock and jetpack are "free kills". Nerf the damn boltshot. And nerf camo as well. THEN, perfect game.

You are pretty much using popularity to justify the quality of a game. That really isn't how things work unless you need a group of people around you in order to say the game is good. There are tons of great games out there that not many people still play or stopped playing after a while. Sure replayability is important, but it isn't the most important thing when judging a game. As for Halo 4 being better than Halo 3 based off population nope. Halo 3 easily had 200-300k people on almost every day before Reach came out. Halo 4 can'teven manage that for a month while Halo 3 did it for 3 years.

  • 11.29.2012 8:50 AM PDT

Halo 3 had very little competition before COD rose in popularity. When someone got an xbox in 2007-9 it was FOR halo. Primarily. It was the thing of the time. The reason people bought this console. Thats just a fact.

The formula now, however, does not sit well with gamers today and if halo 4 was halo 3 with more halo 2, it wouldnt be were it is now. That much is blatantly obvious. But you claim population is insignificant (or not of primary concern) so how DO we decide the better game? From what perspective?
