How was H3's weekly sales compared to WoW/WoW expansion? H3 sold roughly the same as the WoW expansion in the first day too.XaosII

Same thing on my mind, and if they wanna compare profits from a game. 10millionx15$ a month = how much? WoW's monthly income is going to make more than all the halo copies combined in 4months. And that's excluding the cost of actually buying the game.

Halo 2 had the same success, my point still stands, I'm confident it wont.

Even Shooter of the Year is far-fetched ... Multiplayer of the Year maybe due to its Community Size off the bat.

Its the game that offers the best value this year (besides the orange box, but HL2 can't win again). That alone is enough to push it over the competition.

It probably WON'T make GotY but a betting man wouldn't place anything on the line over it, because its all up in the air.

Orange box is a next chapter in the HL story, and you are forgetting COD4 is still awaiting release, which I think will bebetter multiplayer wise than halo by far just by the pace. Halo is so slllloooowww.

[QUOTE="xXHackettXx"]Its just dumb fanboys who hate it because they dont have it. Itmade 170 million in its first day, and is one of the highest reviewed games ever but still fanboys say it sucks...Meu2k7

I own the game so your point is null. Please tell me why should this game get a 9.5 and MOA Airborne get a 7.0

Well truth be told, Airbourne sucked , but if UT3 doesnt get 9.5s I'l be suprised because its great at what it does and is so much more thrilling than Halo.

If Halo 3 wins GOTY I will leave this site and any other Review site forever, quote this, I'm fairly certain Halo 3 wont win GOTY.

I will leave this site for sure, the biasness is too great, sometimes I think MS is shelling out money for good reviews.

there's nothing wrong with being generic, that word just has too much negativity associated with it. it doesn't matter if a game doesn't exactly innovate in any areas. all that matters is that everything in that game is done well and is polished.Mordred19

That's not the point of these posts exactly all of you are saying the game isn't innovative then why are the reviewers doing so? Seriously the need to give halo haters to review the game. I HATE halo but my bro got 3 and i gave it a shot, it's a decent game but it isn't worth the hype at all, 8/0 for the most, would be 7/10 if not for the map editor and movie playback

Saved films is hardly anything to brag about

You can only play 2 at the same console, but that says you can use system link.

And forge is not just a map editor.

What is the forge then? And can you tell me soemthing innovative that halo 1 did or that 2 did or the 3 is doing?

if you want to really get down to it, gamers like familiarity. that's why games like Ico, Katamari Damacy, Rez, and Shadow of the Colossus will never achieve the sales that a MGS or Halo game will. that doesn't make a "non-innovative" game bad, it just shows that folks like what they know. and honestly, i don't blame bungie...they came up with a formula that sells a bajillion copies, so they're not going to stray too far from what is successful.

I don't have a single problem with that is just the over the top review scores that the game receives recyclying the same thing over and over not even slightly changing an aspect of gameplay, I'm looking for something new in a sequel the halo games just feel like expansion packs for the first one. All the add is gfx levels and guns. That's it. Infinity Ward realised it and are changing up cod 4 but why can't bungie do a little changes themselve? Look at MGS compare 1-4 do they look the same? nope Hideo Kojima knows how to deliver a good sequel and not these $60 expansion packs halo does.

It wasn't first week. Why didn't you compare FF's first week and halos? My god fanbois are blind lol.

HAI guys my fifth week beat yours LAWL

Yah, but the GeoW cover system was innovative. While there are games with cover systems in the past, GeoW expanded on the concept.

4 player co-op offline and on.

If you look at the entire package... isn't that expanding the concept as well ?

[QUOTE="Potemkin2005"][QUOTE="MikeE21286"]Man Halo gets bashed a lot on here. It's called a "generic" FPS game by most. Well show me what's innovative then........because I'm not seeing these other great "non-generic" games.rimnet00

I agree with the fact that the cover system is very innovative......yet GeoW gets bashed a lot also.

Yah, but the GeoW cover system was innovative. While there are games with cover systems in the past, GeoW expanded on the concept. However, Halo 3 does not bring anything new to the table. Not one item that is noteworthy in this respect. This doesn't mean it's a bad game, but it sure does mean it's not innovative. In fact, the reason people call it generic is because it follows the usual FPS formula.

The only people who are calling it innovative, as mentioned by skrat_01, are people who havn't experianced some of the items Halo 3 offers, ie: a "map editor". However, I would still argue that these so-called innovations that are being touted by die hard fans, are items that can be found in numerous titles.

Damn you beat me to it.
