I think Halo is finished

Halo 3 was exactly like the Mountain Dew it was advertised on. Good for a short burst of energy, and then an inevitable crash.

I think it lasted throught the month of october, averaging an amazing 1 million players online at any given time. That number has decreased by nearly 80-90% now.

Now you can find more people playing the 10 year old game of Counter-Strike, or more importantly -- Call of Duty 4.

Call of Duty 4 is the Halo killer. It is a better game in every aspect. It has outsold Halo 3 already, and continues to do so every week. Everyone loved Halo 3 when it came out, even I was addicted to it's multiplayer for a month. Then COD4 came out (and Crysis for me), and all of a sudden Halo 3 felt like an outdated run of the mill FPS with a few tacky addons and a slight graphics upgrade so people wouldn't realize it was the same exact game as Halo 2.

Halo won't comeback. Halo Wars has no appeal. Halo gamers are console gamers -- why would you make an RTS spinoff to the 360 when the RTS genre is almost strictly PC?

If Bungie has the nerve to make a Halo 4 for the next Xbox -- they should focus more on changing the game into something new instead of all of the advertising, so they won't be annihlated out of no where by a multi-plat shooter that aired one commercial.

See what happens when a PC franchise goes to console?

I found some many things wrong in your post that you clearly are a hater. Halo 3 is still the most played Live game...unless COD4 beat it again by one week.DuDisNow

COD4 is multi-plat...

good for a short burst of energy? people still play halo 1 for pc online and that came out in 2003. halo is not finished, cod4 is a good game but its to different to be a halo killer its all about realism, halo is about being non realisticVendettaRed07

I could find hundreds of people playing some low budget game you've never heard about that was released 4 years ago.

Halo 3 is still a strong online game, but compared to others, it isn't nearly as kingly as it was made out to be.

You said I was a hater and stuff was wrong, then you pointed out that Halo sometimes beats COD on XboxLIVE as if that beats the millions of others playing on PC and PS3..

Guess I was a bit extreme in the topic title. I just don't think it will be ever be as big as it was last year.

No it isn't finished because Halo Wars isn't out yet. After that,we'll see.

Hey if Bungie is selling so many copies why would they stop making the game? If I'm correct it is the best selling xbox360 game so far.

Theres currently 180,000 on right now? You sound silly now.

And COD4 has sold more copies across all systems.

Its far from finished

Huh?

BTW, Halo 3 is the end to that storyline and Bungie won't be making another Halo game (besides working with Wingnut on Halo: Chronicles) for a while.

how are you basing the cod4 sales? since its hard to track european sales. kind of curious about it.

I would like to note that I am not trying to bash Halo 3 (although I do like to poke fun at it). I just thought it was very interesting how the most hyped game of America is now behind several other games in the popularity department.Koalakommander

It's funny how your logic works. You are putting a game that's on 3, yes 3 different systems and comparing the popularity. Of course, CoD4 is going to be more popular when you put millions who bought it on PC and Ps3 and on Xbox 360. Also, you make it like a sin to like Halo 3 more. I like Halo 3 more than CoD 4, and I guess that makes me less of a gamer than you.

How many copies of Call of Duty 4 have been sold?

Good. I look forward to a new IP.Koalakommander

Good thing Bungie is working on a new IP then, eh? ;)

halo 3 has over 8.1 million sold as of february

call of duty 4 approximately 7.8.

[QUOTE="Koalakommander"]Good. I look forward to a new IP.Bansheesdie

How can you think halo is finished when there are so many facts that say otherwise ?

I guess thats system wars logic :lol:

Knowing Bungie, at least looking at their history, their next project will be either an RTS, TPS, or FPS. Halo was actually all of those at one point in its development life.

I love shooters, so I want a shooter. Plus I just love Bungie shooters.

II-FBIsniper-II

lol, that was what I was thinking off. Bungie is great, especially when you get 4 or 5 in the same room to joke about their games. Good stuff.

What would be great, is if they would do that over the Halo franchise as it is now. Mention their plan for World Domination, say something about Ling Ling's head, what it would be like to have a pet Grunt tied up in the shed out back like in Shaun of the Dead.
