Subject: How did Blops 2 outsell H4 on xbox?

"Sophisticated ignorance, write my curses in cursive"

I don't get how Halo 4 was outsold by CoD on xbox again even after MW3. Blops 2 did not change that much and the new additions that they made didn't make the game any better. I don't get it, what does CoD do to sell so much?

Don't LOL if you aren't L'inOL.

Halo: Reach
Halo 3
Halo ODST

Because it was a better game

Marketing and fanbase.

Because COD has winning recipe that doesn't need to change apparently. And Failo 4 is trash

Sometimes I am tempted to quit gaming. I can no longer play without seeing ponyphags, horrendously bad teammates and mexicans.

Gaming community, I want you to know that you suck.

Sorry, I recently contributed to those sales. But let's be honest, if I wanted to play CoD, I'd play CoD. Not the bastardized Halo version of it.

1. From what I'm told, BlopsII was an overall improvement over BlopsI (the game you should be comparing it to).
2. Halo 4 sucked.
3. Call of Duty is a more popular title.

A lot of people dislike Halo because it supposedly takes a million bullets to kill someone and too many people jumping around places.. and because they just don't like it.

Sadly this. It's just more popular now, they have a winning recipe of the same, that people enjoy.

Nevermind...

Same could be said for 343Halo.

That's really the only explanation. It's a popular game and appeals to all ages more than Halo does.

What bothers me is that it sells millions upon millions EVERY YEAR when you can get BLOPS1 and have basically the same experience. Halo had just as much marketing and it was clearly a more well made game with more work put into it but people still buy CoD again.

My uncle got me Blops 2 for christmas and I thought it would be different but when I played the multi. it was just the same thing. Not very different at all. And now, people are even MORE OP with these new scorestreaks cause you can get a lightning strike etc for doing anything instead of getting a lot of kills.

Don't get me wrong though, the campaign is great, and zombies was pretty good even though tranzit wasn't that great. But overall, it really isn't the type of game that should be selling so much every year. It is killing the industry cause this is what everyone wants from their FPS now, so they won't try anything remotely different.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

For someone to get Halo 4, they usually would want to know the story of the previous 3 games, which pushes them away from purchasing it. With COD, you don't have to know a damn thing about the series because it's the same thing everytime.
