What is Halo Reach and why does it matter?

i do not get where people or the original poster for that manner, are saying halo reach isn't going to sell as much as the halo 3 and then bring in how halo 3: odst and halo wars didn't stack up well against the previous entries.

1) halo wars is a new game and new genre that microsoft was trying to tackle so i personally wasn't expecting sell numbers to be high in comparison with halo 3 or halo 2 or the original for that manner, just because it was a game totally built from the ground up in a new genre that has never been tackled with the halo name.

2) halo 3: odst is just as its title name says it. it's an expansion from the halo 3. only those that bought halo 3 first, which were the fans that bought the original halo 3 at launch will purchase this game. most casual audiences will not pay any attention to it considering the game didn't get the most advertising as halo 3 did and it was not an direct sequel.

3) halo: reach is a prequel to all halo's and its based on the book. now if you read the book then you would know and fall in love with the game and will think well this is a game that is worth noting microsoft will advertise the heck out of this game and such. the game has been in development since the halo 3. so that's approximately three years.

so saying halo: reach will not do halo 3 numbers is crazy. we know nothing about the game at all only that its halo: reach and that whoever bought halo 3: odst will have direct access to the halo reach beta this coming december.

how your speculations until we get details. by your tone you sound like you just don't like the game at all and your tired of microsoft and bungie milking the franchise and getting easy money. well look and behold this is life so grow up and either don't buy the game or buy the game but don't make a thread and run a rant saying "why does it matter?".

What gets me is that HALO 3 is STILL tops on XBL...so i can't figure out why people think the brand is fading...It's like CS was for years on the PC...
