Forums - Microsoft - Halor Rach beaten hard by Black Ops

I've been to a few friends' houses by now and I can tell you that it's not as casual friendly so I'm not surprised that a lot of people can't handle it. As far as I'm concerned, it's better than Halo 3, but I think you have to be at a certain skill level to appreciate that. While CoD remains the same arcade shooter that no skill people love.

On one side Black Ops topped 3 million players on XBOX LIVE but the other Giant of XBOX has hit a bit low

 

Players Online: 150k

 

Does anybody know the average these days?

Also,has any HALO games number gone down so low after 8 weeks of its release

Black Ops never hit 3 million. If you go to the Black Ops forums you will read that the numbers were skewed just like the leaderboards are and they patched them. After the patch it was at 750,000 players. I doubt Black Ops ever got higher than a million.

it did bro... 1.350.000 last night and right now.

Seriously, who here is surprised by this? 

yeah COD is the bigger brand and everybody epected it to top


but halo being a former FPS king and still one of the best,the numbers took a  very sharp drop


1/ Halo was THE former FPS king - and only now is it second to CoD.

2/ Few franchises have accomplished so much and your lack of respect should be reason enough to be banned

3/ Seeing your attempt fail so hard was actually a good read.

Halo Reach is the least beaten FPS game out there by Black Ops. Why don't you go make a thread about how Killzone 3 won't even have 1/10th as many sales / players / whatever.


cause Killzone as a franchise and online activity never came close and was never the top game

That would mean he's a fair and unbiased poster, and not what he is.


that would mean you are just trolling

Dude stop saying BS right now!

The 2.2M is at THE SAME TIME ON XBOX LIVE NOT IN MW2 , MW2 HAD MAX 1.1M MORE OR LESS.

REACH HAD MAX 910K NOT 900K MORE OR LESS.

BLACK OPS THE MAX I SAW WAS 1.350.000K MORE OR LESS.

NOW ON XBOX LIVE AT SAME TIME IS A DIFFERENT STORY , WHEN BLACK OPS HAD THOSE PROBABLY AROUND 400K WERE PLAYING REACH AND MW2 ASWELL!

MW2 NEVER HAD 2M AT ONCE , XBOX LIVE HAD NOT MW2.

CAPICHE ?

yeah twist the numbers

i know COD is the king now

 

but the point made is the sharp drop of the former king

 

"lack of repect reason for ban"..........................lmao

seeing your attempt to try to say something fail was actually a good read

Seems we should fix the original post now that we know Blackops never reached the numbers claimed by the OP.  Also, why are we comparing a game that just came out with a game that has been out for a month? shouldn't we wait to see where Black ops numbers are at the same point in it's life cycle.  History would suggest that Reach will be the most played MP game over time. 



We've known since mw2 that cod was bigger on the xbox then halo so this doesn't surprise me. Also taking into account that they're both fps titles that most likely have some overlap in their fanbase and the drop makes a lot of sense. black ops is newer reach is older. It'll stabalise over time.

Anyway, as much as I've disliked cod since it became essentially a console game and generally like halo far more on consoles (and I still do), I found the reach maps to be dissapointing. The best map is the blood gulch map bungie made in forge, pretty much all of the new reach maps are worse then the halo 3 maps.

never reached?

Black Ops certainly beat both MW2 and Reach peak numbers

just because some people can't digest it and trying to make the gap seem not that big doesn't mean we just change it

 

sure Black Ops just released but the point was the sharp drop suddenly from the mega numbers it used to have not other bullshit people think about

 

and Reach was already beaten by MW2 within its first month of release

lol

Why is this thread created by someone who doesn't even own a 360?

why is someone trying to show that he knows what other person owns when he doesn't even know him

and why does he think that if a person doesn't own it can't make this thread
