Subject: Halo 4 population under 100k: The death of Halo?

There just aren't enough moments in the day to rectify the wrongs of the past.

You do have some pretty legitimate points OP:

-Killcams serve no point besides showing how wrong they look

-Constantly reinitializing lighting in forge everytime you go between Spartan and Editor mode gets really annoying, considering they made us install the game to play it

-hit detection is pretty severe, and the file share system is still not fixed properly

All honesty, 343 screwed this title pretty hard and they really werent prepared to release it. Lets not even get started on the Crimson map pack issue the other day.

Finals.

Other games are released.

Finals.


Probably the main killer right there. There's literally millions of students having to knuckle down because we've be procrastinating playing halo for the past few weeks.

This would mean 343i would go back to classic halo!


I bet this will never, ever happen, even is Bungie was in charge. Good luck dreaming!


OT: Who cares? It still has a larger population that 99% of games out there.


Also, do you have any idea what a "dead" game is? Because in 3 or 4 years, Halo 4 probably will still be alive.

I didn't even know about that, but after a quick search I got a good lol. So much fail in their reaction. First they lie it's a promotion, and now they are going to recharge them.

Other major halo 4 issues that need to be fixed*:
not to mention the sword blows (thought they would have learned from Halo Reach, sadly no)

I agree OP Halo 4 needs fixing. I honestly wouldn't care if the game died. Perhaps that means they will put more effort in Halo 5 of perhaps previous Halo games would gain increased populations.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

Killcams are horrid, also Black Ops 2 lag compensation hit detection>Halo 4 normally.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I am open to doing free clan tags for anyone. Contact me on my deviant art profile through a note and NOT on my comments page as they will not be acknowledged.

It can't be dead if people are still playing it.

I know I for one have only played it about twice in the last week or so. That is because I am right at the end of my first semester, and the work is taking up most of my time. I know once Christmas comes around I will be playing it a ton.

Also OP, that chart only lists the peak number of people online at the same time. The population over the whole day is probably three times that.

Halo has already been dying since 2008/9.

Halo 3 bounced between #1 and #2 till Reach's release so that's very false.



It only started bouncing up when WAW was released and split CoD 4's population.

If it's not broke, don't fix it.

They obviously don't know the golden rule. EA/Dice broke this rule and now look at BF3, Bioware broke this rule and now look at Mass Effect 3(well what happened).

Now look at Activision, keeping the same formula as usual and raking in millions of millions of dollars every year from the Call of Duty franchise.

Look how Bungie went off from the beaten path on Reach, it came and went and now look at 343i doing the same thing, now Halo 4 is just crap, but still feels like Halo, and needs a TU to be playable.

Actually they did admit their mistake and later they made the decision that based on that they are giving it until the 18th.

Why is it the death? As long as you can find a game you should be fine right? I mean it will rise upon Christmas.

  • 12.13.2012 3:25 AM PDT

Doesn't someone always declare the death of Halo after every single damn game?

Let the game fall and fail because then 343i will realise to stop copying cod and trying to gain cod fans(even though they haven't gained any). This would mean 343i would go back to classic halo!


How in anyway is Halo 4 like CoD? Because CAC and Kill Cams? Well you do know CoD didn't invent ether of those.

  • 12.13.2012 3:38 AM PDT

So today has barely begun and you're saying this means Halo's dead?

As someone said, this is the post-rose tinted weeks where everyone realizes the hyped game isn't Jesus. Mix this with the base fact that Halo has actual competition nowadays--which Halo 3 never had--and you simply get the inevitable.

Halo isn't dead, it just peaked at Halo 3. No need to be melodramatic about it.

Spoken like three people who know nothing about the competitive market. Call of Duty doesn't have to change because it is the leading example. It's the exception to the rule. Halo, on the other hand, is no longer top of the class anymore, and in order for it to survive in the changing market, it has to adapt or die.

Darwinism applies to more things than biology. Survival of the fittest is a universal rule in any competitive environment. Halo isn't the fittest anymore, so it needs to adapt. It can't afford to be stuck in the past.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

If 343i would of made Halo like Halo 2/3 and not like cod in space more people would enjoy it.

If people want to play cod, they will play cod. People want a unique experience that is fun.

Halo 4 isn't really that fun and it is super buggy.

I hope 343i listens to their fans this time and makes Halo 5 a great game or they will just kill their brand.
