Ok, sorry, let me clarify that: Call of Duty 4. Call of Duty 4 had a signficant effect on the Halo franchise after it launched in November 2007. In regards to being the "go to" multiplayer. Halo was the premier competitive MP game. Halo 2 and Halo 3 were the pinnacle. That completely changed in November 2007 when COD4 launched. Halo 3 was out about 6 weeks before COD4. Halo was the game of the era. On Xbox 360 you were either playing Gears of War or Halo. The COD era hadn't really started yet. I was an absolute hardcore Halo player, especially Halo 3. However, once COD4 launched that November, it was game over for me. The COD "formula" and gameplay won my heart over.
My point is, because of COD, Battlefield, now Titanfall, etc, Halo will never be what it was. And even if Halo 4 would have been an epic return to the series, the landscape has changed. |
No it didn't Call of duty 4 launched in the same time as Halo 3 the best selling Halo game where do you see the effect,you give to much importance to originality even if a game is not innovative as long as it's good people will buy it.
People said the same about Gran turismo 5,they said Gran turismo is not popular anymore it's not innovative it's has stronger competion with Forza,Need for speed shift etc they said it won't even sell 5 millions and now Gran turismo 5 sold more then 10 millions
PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m
Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
