Yeah, I'd be surprised if Halo took a back seat to anyone until the next round of consoles.

Possible Unreal series and Gears could lead the Xbox360 in the future .... since this is the last Halo FPS.

Halo is undoubtedly the flagship title. Gears of War is a great game, but think of it as Halo is the alpha male, stronger and more powerful, Gears is a young and capable pup with plenty of potential, not yet strong enough to take on the alpha, but in time it will take over the mantle.

I think there are more Halo 3 preorders than the number of copies of Gears that have sold so far.

I guess I look at Halo 2 on the XBOX, and think Halo 3 will be the FPS of choice on the 360 for the life of the system. But I could be wrong. I've been a HUGE fan of UT since the original in 99, and of course... Unreal- the game that started it all...

Beautiful it was.

But how if they dont make anymore Halo FPS'? the RTS wont resemble it in the same way. It will be an ended franchise.

Oh I see, I thought it was said around here awhile back Halo 3 will be the last, assumed FPS not main-story. I take it back then.

Yeah I know, alot of people have claimed it's the last fps. Some think it's the last Bungie Halo game, but all they've said is last of the storyarc. I personally think there'll be a Halo 4, with the storyline concluded in 3 but new questions posed.

I dunno about best, but I definately like the Arbiter, and fighting with the elites alongside is awesome.

I think Bungie are more careful with the Halo franchise than most devs are with theirs.

Well, if you believe the rumors, Halo 3 has just as many pre-orders as Gears has total number of units sold. I'd say Halo is still the Xbox's flagship.

By the way,
Gears would never be more popular than Halo.
Halo somehow has this richness to the universe very few video gaming franchises can offer. It had the ability to span across multiple mediums without feeling cheap and awkward.

Any chance this will be pushed back at all, since UT3/Crysis are coming god knows when, I want to fill the gap! , also , where do you get all your info on Halo 3? Like Crysis-Online equivilant to read about all the good stuff?

Yep straight from the source mate.
However expect the Alternate Reality Game to take some priority in unravelling some Halo 3 bits for now. So you gotta do some forum sifting over there/participating in the ARG.

Why are we comparing a rushed game to the 3rd in a series. MS made Epic release Gears before they were ready, to compete with Sony and Nintendos launch.

Without Halo there would've never been a GeoW bcuz Halo is what made the xbox entertaining in the first place.
