Halo 3 -- Thanks to this game, barely anyone will play other 360 online titles..

Halo 3 is predicted to sell 10 million units or so by many lemmings.  This seems reasonable.  Halo 2 sold around 7.5 million.  25% of Xbox owners have Halo 2.  Around 40% of Xbox owners had online.  So, around 15% of Xbox owners who had online didn't play Halo 2 online.  See the problem here?  Many Halo 2 fans quit playing all other games and just played Halo 2 online.  Other online multiplayer Xbox games suffered as a result.  It is still very easy to find someone to play Halo 2 against online...and it is now 2 and a half years later.  The same can't be said for other Xbox games. 

Now, knowing all this, what do you think is going to happen to online muliplayer 360 games that release after Halo 3?  They are going to suffer, and suffer big.  

Think I'm being silly?  Consider this game...Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory online died out incredibly quickly.  People kept going back to Halo 2.  Splinter Cell's online was great!  Didn't matter against the mighty popularity of Halo 2 though. 

Good luck finding people on Xbox Live who aren't playing Halo 2 these days!

Halo fanbase will get even bigger with Halo 3. Good luck developers!  You are going to need it to compete with the ridiculous online multiplayer aspect of Halo 3!  Developers might be wasting their time even trying. 

I imagine many Xbox 360 online games being a virtual ghost town after Halo 3 releases.  Do you even think for a second Huxley will even be able to compete! :lol:  This stinks!  I feel sorry for those owners of 360 who like online multiplayer, and want to play other games besides Halo 3.  Prepare for all other online multiplayer games to suffer the consequences lemmings !!. :?

XBox 360 library >>>>>>>>>>>> Xbox library.

You can't compare them that way, IMO.

You should look into making a website or blog-- because you make way too many pointless threads here.TrueReligion_

Looking for an online matchup for the original Xbox is vastly more difficult to find if it is not Halo 2.  This is true.  I think the same thing will happen with Halo 3. 

Seriously Halo 3 is just yet another crappy sequel to a crappy series of crappy shooters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also Halo is a copy of Metroid! Go Nintendo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1dAvIdguY349

    Except that no game on the original Xbox had a huge online presence before Halo 2. With the 360, games like Gears, CoD3, and Rainbow Six have established and loyal fanbases.

My threads may be pointless (like 95% of system wars), but buying a 360 like you did, and then deciding there were no good games accept for Mass Effect and Halo 3 is pointless as well.  There are absolutely no other games that interest you?  You must be very tough to please since 360 has a library of some pretty great games.  Why not just wait to sell the 360 until after you've played Mass Effect and Halo 3?  Your logic is about is pointless as my threads...

When I saw the AvIdGaMeR444 beside the topic title, I immediately expected a stupid, yet entertaining thread. The SW forum will dull and boring without ignorant fanboys like you AvId.......:lol:

 I mean, come on. Halo 2's matchmaking and the virtual couch feature makes it better than most MP games out there. But the game doesn't necessarily ruins other multiplayer games out there. There are still a lot of people playing SC, Forza, GR2....heck there's even a lot of players still playing Crimson Skies when Halo 2 came out.

If you're goal is to bash the Halo series, then you have failed miserably because all you did is compliment Halo 2's multiplayer features. :lol:

    And then there are 360 owners like myself who actually like many of the games on the system, and see it with having a bright future, much like the PS3 and Wii should have.

Doesn't sound much like an avidgamer to me. He reeks of jack thompsonism.....itude. ADMIT IT! You've been exposed JACKIE BOY!

Yeah....I'm so off base here :roll:

No online game on Xbox suffered at all because of Halo 2....uh huh.  It is very easy to find an online multiplayer matchup on Xbox besides Halo 2 :roll:...whatever guys!  Keep on flaming me, even though what I'm saying is true.  Halo 2 did affect other online games.  Some games were altogether abandoned completely.  And I'm talking about some good games!  Halo 3 will most likely cause the same effect.   

And to whoever said Crimson Skies is more popular now than b4...you are joking right?

I'm not saying that finding a good matchup online with other games on Xbox is impossible.  It is just very hard. 

We'll see what happens when Halo 3 releases....
