For a long time, Halo was THE game to be playing and to talk about. If you were a Halo 2 fan, you were cool. Now, if you even mention Halo 3, people bash you. Mention cod4 and youre cool again. Just where do these trends of coolness, come from?

There's no trend, it's just based on the quality, and hence the popularity, of the game.

A game that people say is hyped starts off strong. Then people turn and bash it. After a while they move on to something else. It's a weird status thing. This happened to Halo 3. First week a good friend of mine loves it then a few months later goes on a rant of how crappy it is.

nifty, exactly. I started playing Halo 3 when it came out and everyone loved it. Now I mention it on any other game and people basically want to kill me. I think, I bet if they made a Halo 4, everyone would be back in lines at midnight to pick it up!

If the first game is good, you get more hype for the sequal, in this case Halo 3 and COD4

Well, i feel like i got ripped off when i play halo3. it seems exactly like halo2 to me, even some of the muiltplayer maps are the same, and i think a lot of people feel the same way deep down.
