This will sell 5 million in US alone even it got 0.0 review. Why American love Halo so much ? Gears and L4D are much better.

You made Master Chief cry... for shame!

Sales and reviews aren't my opinion.

Sales are reviews don't show much difference.

96 > 94 = 94

10M > 7M > Unknown

So whats your angle exactly? If you're talking sales and reviews, the differences aren't really large enough to be worth mentioning. If you are splitting hairs, then perhaps you need to stick a baloon in your butt and inflate it?

Reviews points to one part of what i say being true, with Half Life > Halo (Although i actually thought MW was rated 1 point higher...)

Sales... I take it you are using the 360 numbers for Halo 3 and MW and unknown for HL2. Seeing that you didnt count the PS3 sales for MW, i will go ahead and do that for you.

It should actually be... 12M > 10M > 6.5M + steam sales.

And no, that would hurt.

""The sound and graphics in Halo 3 ODST are amazing. The soundtrack makes you feel like you are really in the game. The music gets sad when you are all alone, and it picks up when you get into combat. The new silenced guns sound like they should, but they are just a tad louder. The graphics in Halo 3: ODST are amazing, too. They have that sense of realism while keeping it futuristic. When activating the VISR you can see more details in the graphics, making them amazing!""

did he just say 3 time "amazing" and praised the outdated gfx (everybody agree here) ?

FAIL ...

No, Halo 3 does look pretty good.

It does have one feature though, it can render up to FOUR crosshairs on the same TV at the same time! This participation factor is really only understood by those whom live in the Nintendo or Microsoft forums, its a cultural issue.

Its not only a cultural issue its also social. You have to have 4 guys who like to play sitting side by side, maybe holding hands.



 

It is better to die on one's feet

then live on one's knees

Negligable differences still.

Say for instance if COD sold 1.2 M and Halo sold 1M, would you really consider that to be much of a difference? 96 vs 94%, especially when they came out 3 years apart is again not much of a difference really.

The reason for the balloon is that you appear to be anal retentive over this, so I thought it would offer some relief.



Tease.

Dude... this isn't some hippy Nintendo love-in. This is serious Halo business, and serious Halo business with serious Halo ODST LTD edition controllers (one each) requires the use of two hands.



Tease.

Don't forget while singing koom-bi-ya as well, I do that all of the time while playing Smash Bros. with my friends.

*reads above post*

Er... I mean! Oh yeah! Halo!

You cna't hold hands while playig halo 3...not alteast until Natal comes out. However, when playing Killzone 2 and COD4, only 1 player can play so the other 3 may do some hand holding...or worse.

Well Killzone 2 is such a gritty and realistic shooter, its been called a war simulator and the players themselves feel like soldiers in a real war.

Soldiers who get lonely sometimes too.



Tease.

Red- Winning is winning, no matter by what distance.

And maybe i am being a bit tight-arsed... but you would be aswell if you just got wrongfully hung.
