.........Really?

Really now?

Richard, maybe it's time to stop and think a little before we make a new thread.

 

What I am commenting about here is that people are having it as a lock for being a monster title that is set to dwarf Halo 3, without there being any info on it, or what they have done to improve.  The post wasn't set to end up looking at ODST or Halo Wars as the subject.  However, may I remind you that people here were predicting that Halo Wars would outsell Killzone 2, BECAUSE IT WAS HALO (had Halo on the box).  I never said that either title should outsell Halo 3.  I was asking what exactly Halo Reach is (details) and why it would matter.

As far as thinking about this, the Halo Reach hype has been nagging me, and I want to learn more about it.  If it does just what Halo 3 is doing, and doesn't bring more, except a minor upgrade, I don't feel compelled to get it.  And, if it is merely a minior upgrade, despite maybe it having a new graphics engine, I do see it very likely not selling as much as Halo 3 did.
