We already have Gears 3, COD MW3 and Battlefield 3 scheduled for the same Fall-Holiday season. Halo would get slaughtered. Halo ODST then Reach and then Halo 1... a new halo every year, that's not good for preserving respect for the franchise.

Why would Halo be the one to be slaughtered? The most likely one would be Battlefield 3....and i'm down with a yearly Halo Release.

Seriously though a Halo remake makes sense.

No. I think interest in Halo has peaked. With yearly iterations it's gonna get even more hate now. I see 6 million for Halo remake tops. 4.5 million if it comes out this season.

And BF3 will be absolutely HUGE. Seriously, it will challenge MW3 in sales and easily sell over 10 million on consoles.

Its a Halo remake though so everyone who likes Halo will pretty much think this is a must buy. 

And for BF3 to challenge MW3 it will have to sell 20 million on consoles which is pretty unrealistic seeing as a lot of BF lovers will most likely be getting it on the PC.

I do agree with you that BF3 will be pretty huge but just don't expect it to pull off COD numbers or anywhere close.

What if BF3 surprises everyone and sells 12 million on consoles and COD starts slumping and only ("only") sells 16 million?

I guarantee you that COD will get its first backlash this season while BF 3 will get all the hype, all the respect, huge marketing and amazing reviews. They will be close in sales.

I hope Halo still has selling power, I just think they risk too much by putting it out against these 3 giants.
