I don't like Master Chief's voice. It's not deep enough and has a robotic overlay. And he seems to be monotone even in times of ultimate crisis.

Yeah, I never got the whole jizz in the pants thing for Downes voice either. It doesn't necessarily bother me but Arby's voice smokes Chief's, Keith David FTW. But as far as the monotone thing, I'm sure it's intentional. He's NOT supposed to be phased by crazy shit going down all around him.

Since there is so much COD in here, I guess I should mention that I signed on to H4 about 1 1/2 to 2 hrs. ago and there were like 400+k playing. I don't even think it's half that now. I can't imagine it's a normal drop off in that amount of time.

Well it's now 2:36 am in EST North America and it's a workday/schoolday so adults and kids alike would be ...should be asleep.. and in Europe people will be just getting ready for school and work.

Or it might be because Halo 4 released slightly before the biggest game of the Year. Which is in the same genre and could affect sales.

Throwing accusations like that around actually makes YOU look insecure.

Someone (I don't want to name who) is trying every way to downgrade the success of Halo 4. WTF?

good sales,amazing exclusive for 360,seems looks a great game to play for the FPS'ers

interesting to see earleir in the thread taht there have not really been any big exclusives except for halo 4,one piece did well but not much else

I don't think taxes count as revenue, do they ?
60€ for a game - 11,4€ (19% tax) = 48,6€ = $61,6

@Carl2291

Nah it aint me w8th the insecurities. I dont even care about games on a personal level. I think they are fun and mostly come here just to debate stuff.

But I could care less if a game or consoles sells 100 copies or 100 million as long as the stuff I like does well enough to get sequels or get support. Ive just been a member of this site long enough that I know most of the users agendas on here

Who needs movies when we have video games?!

Microsoft’s epic blockbuster Halo 4 is smashing sales records globally since its recent launch, and that includes Australian records.

The publisher today announced Halo 4 had generated over US$220 Million in 24 hours, overtaking the biggest movie blockbuster in 2012.

We will, of course, forgive the fact that games cost about nine times the amount of a movie ticket, but then again popcorn is where they get you…

Australia continued the global success of Halo 4 setting two new local records. In its first week Halo 4 has become the largest ever Halo launch in Australia as well as the largest Xbox 360 game launch of 2012.

The release of Halo 4 propelled lifetime sales for the Halo franchise beyond US$3.38 billion, cementing its status as one of the most popular entertainment franchises in the world.

Halo 4 also shattered the record for the largest number of players in the history of the Halo franchise, with over 4 million players in the first five days. Users spent a total of 31.4 million hours playing Halo 4, pushing the total number of gameplay hours across the Halo franchise well beyond the five billion mark.

“We’re thrilled that Halo 4 has emerged as the biggest U.S. entertainment launch of the year,” said Phil Spencer, corporate vice president of Microsoft Studios.

“Thanks to the millions of fans worldwide who helped make this another record-breaking launch for the Halo franchise, Halo 4 is kicking off a strong holiday season and has become the must-have blockbuster experience of the year.”
