Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

Why do people care what others play? I am a devout original trilogy lover, but Halo 4 is still an entertaining game. It is very different, but still fun.

It's on life-support.


I agree, a lot of players in Halo: Reach, around 70k sometimes 100k, I play often there or playing SC2.

Brainwashing, idiotic media: "hur dur, vido gaems cas vilenc n iz nt gud. dey ned 2 b baned."

Logic: Really? Then please explain how there's violence in third world countries. I guess they're all poor due to the large amount of video games they buy.

Nah, Halo 4 is a great game. You're just the typical hipster-fanboy that won't let the past go.

Halo 4 is the 2nd most played game and it's "dying"? What are all the games below it then?

LIVE charts are meaningless. Someone can sign in check the challenges, populations, ect then play another game. They aren't a good indicator of who's actually playing the game.

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.

It never ceases to amaze me how idiots like the OP will complain about something they have no intention of involving themselves with.

How convenient of you to deny the data proving you wrong. Halo 4 is the 2nd most played xbl game, if you think that's dying.... oh well, console kiddies.

I'm pretty sure Xbox in general seems to be dying.

  • 12.27.2012 9:54 AM PDT

IMO, Halo 4 is better than Halo 3 and Reach. I've played every Halo, while it was in it's prime and the rankings for online for me go like this, 1. Halo 2 2. Halo 4 3. Halo: 3 4. Halo: Reach (though, to be fair. I did not play much of Reach). I am LOVING Halo 4 right now. It reminds me of the old Halo 2 days. But, what I see being the problem is my main problem with XBL these days and that is the party system. In the old days of Halo 2, there was no party system so most people actually had a headset and would talk creating a better community and just better games in general but with the party system most people just stay in a party with their friends playing other games and no one on the team talks so there is no teamwork which creates poor gameplay in gametypes that require communication (i.e. objective gametypes)

Also, just a sidenote, besides the jetpack and MAYBE the regeneration field, I find all the armor abilities to be absolutely useless.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

I agree with you, OP. I doubt Halo 4 will die quickly, but I'm back to Halo 3 and that's where I'm staying.

  • 12.27.2012 10:09 AM PDT

Yep its dying.

The old school players like me have moved on or moved back to 3.

The new school players who 343 catered to, have moved to a real call of duty game. Black ops 2.

Served in the UNSC army since Halo 1. Now awaiting deployment in Bungies new game.

Quite honestly i like halo 4, it has its flaws but all in all its a good game.

  • 12.27.2012 10:12 AM PDT

Halo 4 is doing very well. People made hundreds of 'HALO IZ DED' posts for Halo 3, and did so for Halo: Reach. Once kids realize they just look silly for jumping on the 'hate the new thing' bandwagon the community will be a much nicer place. Unfortunately, it might be a while before some people grow up enough to see it.

I'm not comparing Halo 4 to other games on XBL, I was only comparing it to Reach and 3. I was already aware of Halo 4's rating on the XBL charts. But the fact still stands, Halo 3 and Reach both had a stronger population a month after it's release, and they both had other games out during their time that were just as big. XBL charts only shows that Halo 4 and BOII is popular. I'm talking about the steady decline of players from Halo 4, which Reach and 3 trump over when compering only these three games.

Sorry for busting your bubble, but check the post above yours.

Am I to late to say inb4Halo3hadnocompetition argument?

Because that argument is equally flawed because no one can explain how Halo 3 managed to stay within the top 20 most played games for 3 solid years. 3 years is a lot of time for competition to come about, and yet Halo 3 was still around.

Therefore you cannot deny that something has changed and Halo is not what it used to be.

You know this to be true.

I kinda agree with the OP.

So you went to the trouble of clicking on my profile, either to send a group invite or hate message, or to check my Halo stats and call me a BK. I like Peanut Butter Waffles.

I fail to see how the second most played xbox game is "dying".

  • 12.27.2012 10:36 AM PDT

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I hope it is.

It's because it's an awful game. I literally can't think of a single redeeming factor about the game... infinity slayer is a joke, and spartan ops is utter -blam!-. Firefight was so much better.
