Well that "Halo killer" turned out to be COD. Halo was the #1 FPS franchise until the first Modern Warfare came out. Since then it's been all COD ever since, and honestly I prefer it that way since I find Halo's gameplay dated compared to most other shooters. The pace is slow, it plays like a Goldeneye or Perfect Dark with regenerative health, and you can unload entire clips of ammo into your enemies or opponents and they won't die, but punch them in the face with the butt-end of your rifle and they go down quicker than a $5 hooker.


Did you play the campaign? Ever tiped a tank and had to get masterchief to flip it? He can flip a tank, let him hit you in the face and see how you "go down"

 

400,000 pre-orders and it's just under half a year away... Halo isn't dead. It just boggles me how people say so. The numbers clearly say otherwise.

Did you read my post at all?  Where did I say Halo was dead?  When I said COD was the "Halo killer", it doesn't mean it killed off the franchise, it means it took the top FPS crown away from Halo.  Same way that Sonic was a "Mario killer" back in the 16-bit days... he outsold Mario for awhile and took the platforming crown for a couple of years (at least here in the US), but in no way did he kill Mario as a franchise off.

And yes, I've played the campaigns for every major game in the series (never played Halo Wars and never will).  The first and second games were the pinnacle of FPS on consoles (though honestly I give the edge to Timesplitters 2 and 3 for multiplayer), but by the time 3 came out it was basically the same stuff with HD graphics, and when COD4 hit the scene just 2 months later, it made me and many of my friends almost completely forget about the Halo franchise.


Did you read mine at all? The first sentence was a direct reply to you, the second was just a general statement, that is why the 2 sentences weren't connected and I said, "Halo isn't dead. It just boggles me how people say so" not "Halo isn't dead. It just boggles me how you say so".
