Haven't they already been coming out with a Halo game every year since Halo 3.

Edit:  Already pretty much annualized

 

lol I stopped at "Halo Spartan Assault"... Yah sure, they are "anualizing" it if you count that kind of title...
Do not forget Halo Waypoint, maybe some boardgames too? Risk and all that? that would certainly fit in your "anualizing" definition.

OP: I think this guy is retarded and anyone would still believe him should really reconsider...

(your definition:) Annualizing = a new game every year, when people call the KH series annualized I don't go flying off the handle saying handheld games dont count!

Sure, as I said this is your definition and you are free to stick with it.

My definition: annualizing = a new game of the same gender and in the same universe, as oppose to "not a new game in a completly different gender but in the same universe" (which is your definition)

Now, mobile or not; if it is the same gender (FPS for instance) I definitely think it is the same "game"... But when you are talking about completely different games (like this 2 stick shooters Assault or even the RTS one); I'm not considering this as an "annual release of the same game". 

Bold part: relax this is just a conversation on an internet forum; nobody's going off the handle here.

If you wanna lay certain conditions to make the series not seem annualized sure.  Also Wars and Reach both came out in the same year so it doesn't matter if you count it.


No...just no

Yes...just yes.  Only need 1 game a year for an annualized series.

Hum: "not seem annualized" to who? You are talking like I'm trying to convince some other people of that? Or like your definition of "annualized" is the only logical one. You realized that it is as easy to tell you the opposite: "If you wanna lay certain conditions to make the series seem annualized sure"

No, I'm just telling you that I have a different way of looking at this (and I hope you do not believe that I'm the only one).

Based on YOUR and only YOUR definition of an annualized "serie" (love how you changed from game to serie by the way, I start to see pattern here, keep going).

My definition states the Halo SERIES is pretty much annualized, your defenition states that FPS Halo games are not annualized.

No, just no from other's people point of view :)

This is only based on YOUR and only YOUR definition of an annualized "serie" (love how you changed from game to serie by the way, I start to see pattern here, keep going).

What?  That doesn't even make any sense.  Halo Wars and Reach both came out in the same year so based on your or my defintion the release of Wars is irrelavent cause you only need 1 game a year for a series to be annualized.

Are we seriously sitting here arguing about whether Halo is annualized?

VGChartz is doomed.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Okay...I don't see how you thought that only fit my definition of an annalized series when it obviously is irrelavent for both since Reach came out in the same year anyway.
