On topic, I've played the shit out of Halo 1 & 2 multiplayer, literally dozens of days of gametime whereas I didn't play more than 10-20 hours on Halo 3, does that mean that it's a flop too? Since its my anecdotal evidence, by that logic Halo 3 multiplayer is a big flop too right? It's silly to judge the game by the activity chart, despite the disappointment I've experience in multiplayer and lack of interest it has developed in me, I have still purchased Halo 3 and Reach (Still to buy 4) even for just the SP. End of the day tastes change, and COD is huge right now, so people are likely just not enjoying Halo as much other than in nostalgia when playing the older iterations.

It was a hit, it's sold tonnes, so who gives a shit if the multiplayer doesn't rank as high as the sleigh movers like COD games.

Ethomaz, please stop this stupid arguing, if anything it just degrades my opinion of you as a poster further, continuing the pointless argument with anecdotal evidence and poor research is just embarrassing. Do we have to go sieve through YT finding videos where people say that Halo 4 MP is dead? Really? I mean damn, that's two people out of 8 million so far. Pretty large dent.

i think we are wearing out the meaning of the term "flop" by throwing it around so easily

@ethomaz: What is your roommates Gamertag?

We have to all admit, halo is not as big as it used to be. Halo 3 was the golden years of halo and Cod wasnt even as popular at that time. Halo reach seemed to have went wrong and took the series in a bad direction mp wise. As much as i respect 343i, i am kinda confused on why they based their multiplayer similarlly to reaches multiplayer. The popularity decline with reach  should have been a wake up call for them to make gameplay as close to halo 3 as possible. I personally love halo 4 mp. But it still can't compete with halo 3 or 2 in my eyes. But, the story was great and i get a sense of nostalgia from halo 4's story. However, if halo 2 anniversary were to release this year with multiplayer, then I think halo will become strong once again. A halo 2 remake with multiplayer would be the best thing for the series at the moment. Is this reasonable ? No other exclusives besides judgement are coming this year ( and  rumored Alan wake 2). But could we possibly see a halo 2 anniversary this year?!?!? Maybe it will release with the Xbox 720 to boost sales? I hope 

He's just using the same source as you and it means there are still a few hundred thousand people playing a day, that isn't dead. You people and your hyperboles.

it's the 4th game in a single generation of consoles.

It's released near the end of this generation of consoles.

It's the 6-7th Halo

It's only on one console.

It's not as "pick up and play" as COD

Considering all that, who careas?

There's literally nothing to answer here.

Or you could get it for the pc you're sat on right now, since PC version is miles better anyway...

#5 is nothing to play down.

Sony fans still haven't come to terms that Halo isn't carrying the Xbox brand like it used to. Modern Warfare is now the biggest FPS, and coupled with that there are Modern Warfare and Black OPS fan sections respectively, its no wonder MW3 is high on the list as well.

Halo 4 campaign was the best I ever played, but MP they started out bare and added to it as time goes. That shouldnt have happened and hopefully they listen to the fan feedback for Halo 5. Its 343's first full attempt, I say they did a great 1st try. halo 5 should be even better.

You mean Xbox fans? Have you seen how offened some people were with this thread? I'm surprised I didn't get any death threats.

I left it open for the lulz but it's getting depressing now with the same arguments over and over again. Should've locked it when several users were complaining.

Also Ethomaz seems to care more about Halo 4 than GT5 recently.

Locked.
