All these haters make me laugh. Halo 4 is terrible. CoD: Black Ops 2 is surprisingly good. Is it balanced? No, but it's much more balanced than before. Is it fun? Hell yes! I haven't had any problems with that game!

Fun is not an objective property, you ponce.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

What difference does it make? It still only takes 30 seconds to find a Matchmaking game in Halo 4.


Same for Blops2.


So what's your point?


Uh, that its matchmaking isn't much different in getting you a game time wise?

Calm down mango.


Mango? IT'S ON NOW!

Seriously though I see no point in these threads, if we were all involved in the Sales side of things then this would be a big deal but we're all gamers.

We should just enjoy playing video games.

Do everyone a favor, get some intelligence, grow a set, bust a nut, and shut the fu­ck up.

Oh i agree, it is pointless.

I bought both and compared to halo, blops2 was more worth it in my opinion, i just feel let down by the pedigree of what halo was with the new one, maybe i have too much CE nostalgia.

Its funny, people complain that COD never tries anything new, and that halo shouldnt change, and look at where we are population wise. I think they were ambitious in changing it, but made the wrong changes (H4), while they changed just enough weapons and game wise with BLOPS2 that its very fun still.

Wow, all that $$$. And ouch for Halo 4.

Currently studying Computer Science & Software engineering. Hope to work on mobile devices of the future! When a certain game's credits roll, look out for my name! ;)

You will -blam!- bricks when you see what game it is! =)

People, just get this straight - its a casual game, which means its easier to have fun with and its more accesible to all gamer types. I bet I can teach my grandmother how to play CoD MW 2. And because of its accesebility, people dont get turned down. They know that they will be able to play this game and that it will be fun.

If Jimmy next door buys it, most likely Billy and Sally will too because hey, Jimmy said its fun AND you dont have to have an Xbox to play it. (Its multiconsole)

I agree that all presidents should serve 2 terms. 1 in office and 1 in prison

And for once I was not part of it. I don't have enough time anymore to play both, so halo got my money this time.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

That is disappointing, but I'd rather they be playing their games than complaining about how much better it is than other games.

  • 12.06.2012 6:44 AM PDT

it's a trashy franchise now, imo.
i'll only buy it if it redeems itself in next-gen. until then, halo it is.

  • 12.06.2012 7:09 AM PDT

Death to rank junkies.

I still haven't bought a CoD game since MW2.

It's stupid to compare sales of COD to Halo. Halo is on ONE console. COD is on BOTH. Of course their sales are going to be atleast double that of Halo's!

  • 12.06.2012 7:39 AM PDT

Who are you? stop look at me.

People hate cod because it actually get too much attention.

I can't stand when journalists compare video game sales to movie sales. You have to sell far less games to make that $1 billion because they cost more. It's not that impressive.

It's still pretty impressive. The best selling video game of all time. I'm pretty surprised that a video game could reach $1 in sales. That's around 16,000,000+ copies sold.

16 MILLION copies of the game.

^Black Ops 2 outsold Halo on day one on the Xbox alone. Blops 2 Xbox preorders were 2 million and Halo's first week sales were 3 million I think.

You do know that CoD is on multiple platforms right?

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

This isn't all that surprising since Call of Duty is a really popular franchise. Even if a new Call of Duty game is terrible, I'm sure that it will sell like hotcakes anyway.

I am a pharmaceutical scientist. I received my Masters degree in Pharmaceutics from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia in 2010, after working as a Pharmacist for 4 years. I currently work in King of Prussia, PA, and focus on the analytical chemistry of small molecule APIs. My clients include some of the most well known big pharma companies in the world.

When the Title Update, Map Pack and ranking system roll out for Halo 4, coupled with Christmas time, I'd expect to see a modest uptick in the number of people playing the game. Population really doesn't matter if you're able to find a match. I've gone into playlists with less than 1000 people and still had no problem finding a game.

There's stuff I don't like about Halo 4, but the game is still good, in my opinion. The game was built on top of the H:CE Anniversary game...mechanics are surprisingly similar if you switch from one game to the other. Might be a couple more gimmicks here and there in the multiplayer, but it still plays like Halo.

Honestly, if you think about it, less people playing Halo 4 could make it more competitive. When the ranking system rolls out, a smaller active population should make it harder for people to level up. Skill levels should be more tightly defined when there's a smaller sample size to work with.

"I actually don't hold a grudge against someone talking trash about me if they're shot afterwards, I try to rise above that "

Gordon Freeman, Freeman's Mind

What I don't get is how each successive CoD beats the last one by apparently a substantial amount.

Where the hell are these other people coming from if people hated the last 2-3 and supposedly left!?

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

I like it better than Halo 4, but that doesn't say much. CoD4 and Halo 3 are still much, much, much...

*Three hours later...*

... Much, much better.
