Reach will get the best reveiw and probably be the best game. Black ops will get good reveiws because it has Call of Duty in its name but won't actually be a good game. Still it will outsell reach by a lot

I'm strongly considering Black Ops, as much as I hate Activision :( I don't own and COD games, but what I've played of WaW makes me want this seeing as Treyarch is making it. If there's a good Zombie mode, plenty of weapons and upgrades with great maps and modes, I'll probably end up buying it. Having said that I don't think I'll be buying any more COD games afterwards, as I'm interested in Bungie's new game (sure, Activision is publishing, but Bungie has the creative rights etc to make a good game) and Respawn's new game.

[QUOTE="BodyElite"][QUOTE="Ringx55"] Try saying that again in 2007 :lol:EliteKitteh

I think most of these kids were too young to remember ANY of the halo launches. I swear the world stops spinning a month before a Halo launch. COD has only become mainstream after Infinity Ward released Modern Warfare 1. And that one didn't sell like hotcakes like Halo, not until treyarch's WAW did it start selling bundles. I can't wait to see Reach's marketing campaign at full swing. There'd truly nothing else like a Halo launch in the entertainment business

Oh please :lol: Modern Warfare 2's launch obliterated that of any Halo's, and that's not even counting PS3 and PC sales :lol: You're the ignorant kid who still thinks Halo is the biggest thing in the universe.

Wrong dude... Modern Warfare 2 got half of the Xbox 360 sales as Halo 3 did during the first 24 hours of each game's release... and also speaking of that MW2 has 14 million copies sold to this date. Halo 3 has 11 million... 14/2 is 7..... so Halo 3 has at least 4 million more Xbox 360 sales than Modern Warfare 2... And i guess you are the dumb kid who doesn't know his facts and still has a cock of doody in his mouth...

Man that wasnt the case back when Medal of Honor was kicking Call of Duty's ass... I may just rent both the new Medal of Honor and Black Ops and compare... lol. Call of Duty may have its revenge on Medal of Honor this year. Already preordered Reach... Loving the new Recon Armor

for all of u saying that modern warfare 2 outsold halo 3 for the xbox: ur wrong.... Halo 3 had 4 million copies sold on the first 24 hours of its release. Modern Warfare 2 had 4.3.... 4.3/2 = 2.15 million copies sold for the xbox 360.....

nintend-man86

on the 360 platform

well you should have put that in becaus ei got confused. only on the 360 platform there is no way black ops will outsell reach. reach will sell like hotcakes. its will outsell halo 3 because when halo 3 came out the 360 userbase wasnt as high as it is now. COD5 sold alot less compared to COD4/MW2 because it didnt have the name MW in it. black ops will be in the same situation.

Arbiterisl33t69

Key word: look I don't know about Black Ops, at all, but from playing the Reach BETA I can guarantee it's whole pace and feel is way different than Halo 3 and the gameplay is much better, but hey, according to you (elitist PC gamer) it'll be a rehash because its LOL ANOTHER HALO TOTAL REHASH (Same with CoD, but like I said, I haven't seen much of Black Ops to truly judge it)

According to my bud who played a lot of Halo 3, he says the Halo Reach Beta is pretty much, "more of the same."

I turned him off of Halo after introducing him to PC gaming, he hasn't touched his 360 in months except for trying the Reach beta. ;)

Black Ops is coming out on like 500 different platforms, Reach is releasing on 1, so obviously its going to outsell it.

If you're talking xbox-only sales, then Im not so sure. Its seems the Call of Duty fanbase is at least educated enough to know the difference between an Infinity Ward product and a Treyarch product. The Treyarch games without the "modern warfare" tag never sell as well, so its far from certain that Black Ops will outsell Reach on the 360.

game quality yes reach will be a definate win. but sales wise i wanted to get peoples opinions. i think black ops will sell more, just because of how modernwarfare 2 sold. black ops is an instan purchase for some because it has call of duty in the title

well, COD WAW didn't sell as much as COD4.

I think the Modern Warfare, as it's own franchise naturally does better than these 'other' war settings. some might be educated on Treyarch/IW differences as well.

so it could be a different story.

To each their own. You could say the same about any sequel, really. I didn't feel the same your friend did, and I even know people who were turned off from the BETA just because it wasn't LIKE Halo 3. So IDK, you have your friends thinking it's more of the same, I have my friends thinking it was too different and that they should've made Halo 3.5 instead. You're always finding a way to bash Halo, though, so you probably don't care. In fact, I'm not sure I should believe you..

friend of a friend? not a great argument.

MP is only half a game, I don't believe SP is going to turn out exactly like Halo 3's....but maybe that's just me.

I guess you didn't get the memo. Call of Duty is far bigger than Halo ever was.

yes, but COD is spread across multiple platforms- however on the Xbox360 it changes lead from time to time with Halo.

Halo Reach will trump Back OPS on the Xbox360.

Well If were only talking 360, then I think Reach will outsell COD. But when considering the other platforms, well it goes without sayingthat COD will outsell Reach.
