I'm with Mick on this one, I mean Black Ops 2 came out 5 days after Halo 4 and right now CoD is the biggest console FPS there is, its not really a competition anymore.

The lay of the land when H3 came versus H4 is like night and day. Really hard to compare the two in regards to numbers and players sustainability.

I think H3 had about a year until MW1 hit and no one really knew COD was going to explode like it did. H3 really only had that to compete with, with GoW a very distant third.

They came out the same year actually, MW1 came out a month after Halo 3, thing is while MW1 was very successful the franchise didn't really explode like it did till MW2 which came out in 09.

MCC or another new Halo on PC would be the death knell of the XBox.

I highly doubt that, it would probably be like CoD where they have the least amount of players.

Its called the MASTER CHIEF collection, Chief ain't in ODST and isn't playable in Reach even if he does pop up at the end.

Coagulation, Blood Gulch and Hemorrhage are all lovely, garbage maps and I wish they'd loving die and never come back. Blood Gulch worked ok with the limitations of H1 but Coagulation was just a pile of dicks and Hemorrhage was just awful thanks to the marksman rifle.

It's odd that people complained to hell and back about Kill Trading when it was rampant in Halo 3, they fixed it in a patch and then other games didn't really have it as far as i can remember.


Yet it's back in Destiny for what reason exactly?

Because Destiny is a bad game.

They should make those maps just vehicles only, you spawn in one and you just crash into each other constantly, gets more and more heated as the battlefield is littered with corpses and vehicle parts.

Regardless this is still one of those titles I feel you should get right. Halo is an important thing to MS and 343 already screwed the pooch once.

What consumer confidence will be left for H5 at this rate.

They probably rushed it for Black Friday, so hopefully they'll get the game working by then.

I found it more jarring that nobody except that one guy gave a poo poo that the savior of the universe isn't dead and is standing right next to them.

Or that when he bumps into what's her name(the egghead chick), she just says "I thought you'd be taller, teehee"

Its like 343 just wanted to piss all over everything and make Halo theirs in the most asinine way possible.

Halo 3 aged like wine, while Halo 2 looks flabby and sick. It's still fun, but I need some big maps like Coagulation. Haven't had luck with that playlist.

Halo 2 aged like poo poo cause it was poo poo, the story was garbage and unfinished and legendary was a massive slog and it had far more copy and paste environments than H1 did, the multiplayer was equally bad and practically defined by its glitches and general overpoweredness of some weapon combos or just some basic weapons.

Halo 3 was the perfect Halo, they got everything right.

I can't wait for MCC to die so we can go back to the normal no discussion of halo

Whether or not some form of Halo is still around doesn't really matter, long as you're still here being an insufferable arrogant rear end in a top hat the thread is never going to improve.
