Subject: is halo dead?

I wanted to become a recognized member of the flood, then I took an arrow in the knee.

Do you think Halo will ever become king of online shooters again, or has it stepped down... permanently ?

I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Just Zoid being Zoid ^_^

Halo will never die, but the arena shooter that it was is most likely dead.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

The only people that thought Halo 4 was going to 'reclaim' the throne, or still think that Halo will reclaim the #1 spot are idiots.

I don't think so.. it still has a lot of people playing it. Time will tell. Although many predicted Halo 3 would be dead after CoD4 came out, but then it surged back up.

Basically it'll hang in there and wont fall off the face of the Earth like GoW3.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

If Halo 5 does have a linear campaign with QTEs, and the multiplayer doesn't go back to arena type multiplayer then I will say it is dead, to me.

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.

It's finished.

Why are you here?

I wouldn't call it dead, but it's unlikely to become number 1.

No. I think we're just getting started. Maybe. Okay, probably not.

If it doesn't debut at #1 or #2 on opening week then yes.

  • 01.04.2013 9:24 PM PDT

The pieces and the potential are still there, waiting for the right people to bring it back. We'll see.
Calling it completely dead seems a tad dramatic though.

Signatures are for little kids.

I'm enjoying Halo 4. I'm not one to sit back and reflect on what other people think about a video game.

  • 01.04.2013 9:27 PM PDT

I prefer to be the man in a mask.

Not dead, just stagnant.

  • 01.04.2013 9:29 PM PDT

I don't think it's garnering too many new fans right now, and its divergence from the arena-shooting aspects that made it stand out, and the general lack of innovation in recent titles, ensures that older fans will continue losing interest in the series.

That said, Halo still sells very well and is far from being "dead."

Inheritor #156 :p

Yes guys the #2 played game on xbox live is dead!!

I guess other games like assassins creed, metal gear solid, battlefield, far cry, borderlands, unreal tournament, counter strike, every single sports game (ea, 2k's), GTA are completely dead.

Just because a game isn't #1 doesn't mean it's dead, Halo will never be "dead" it will always have a following and a constant fan base.

I don't think it will ever reach #1 like it had before because of all the other AAA titles out there right now which weren't around much when it was #1.

When another games comes out and tops COD will that be dead to since it's not #1? Nope.

Oh and another reason it will never be #1 is because of 343i, it's being milked now and they're just releasing more (4,5,6) to make money rather than doing it for the game.

^This.
A strong, well-developed Halo 5 (or a Halo 6 that the long-time fans/majority of players enjoy) will redeem the franchise in a fashion similar to how Revenge of the Sith made amends for the awful Star Wars prequel trilogy. And seeing how Halo is the Star Wars of video games this could be on the table.

There's a “U” and “I” in union but just an “I” in my beliefs

Revenge of the Sith still sucked though.

I can live with that. Progress is better than nothing at all.
