i dont understand the statement. yes, it can be the biggest game of 2010, but everyone knows that you cant dismiss the possibility. its not like they even said it would be, but that it could.
Halo as a franchise is massive, so it having gargantuan sales is more or less a given from the start.
i just hopes it lives up to be all that it can.
and the new MoH wont p**s on anything. |

Thing is, the Halo games might not have brought anything revolutionary to the table for a while, but they're still fun to play. They put you in a role and tell you a story and I've got no problem with that. I'd rather something was good at what it knows than fails trying to be unique.

MS must be really crapping their pants over God of war 3 and GT5 if they can't stop talking about Halo Reach that isn't out for another 11 months. |

As a single console exclusive there is no way it will sell better than MW2. It's a damn shame, but that's just a fact.
It may very well sell better than MW2 did on the 360, though.
EDIT: Also, CVG, you need to stop using this Halo Wars picture for Reach news

Is that so you can stay up all night playing it when the game comes out?
Now as much as I love Halo, I am getting a little tired of hearing the exact same thing over and over, this has already been said, no need to say it again, truthful or not as it may turn out to be it is only being a charlie big b******s and as such merely guesswork.
Plus it puts far too much expectation on a game that will already have the weight of the world on it's shoulders come the release date.
Anyway, bring on the beta. |

The sad thing is, he genuinely finds it funny. Mind you, his cracks at the PS3 when he called himself 'EnglishShmuppet' weren't funny either - now he's turned the tables, it's just pathetic.
The other thing is that he accused StoneCold of having a 'humour bypass' in another thread when he failed to find anything funny about some other cretinous attempt at humour he'd made.
Seriously Fannyboy - don't ever try standup.

Modern Warfare 2 had a hell of a lot of hype generated and it sold shed loads. This is the same scenario, so I expect Halo Reach to do the same tbh. If the game is not up to the hype, it won't matter if the sales are super high. Again, look at Modern Warfare 2.

I'm looking forward to Reach. Not really playing much on the noisy box at the moment, but Halo3 was the first multiplayer game that I really enjoyed. A bit of hype doesn't hurt. |

Not EVERY game. Tetris and Bejeweled don't have a story :p
But it's true enough, you can't really say it fails as a game because it does the game parts just fine. You're made to be a superhero (more or less) and you save the day (more or less).
Whether the story is more or less interesting than another franchise is all down to the individual. I don't like Oblivion or Fallout but I can't say that makes them crap.
Sorry, I needed to do something to counter the anti-Halo-fanboy-ism on here

Of all the thousands of examples you could've chosen to illustrate your point, you chose Pong - one of few games in existence with no story whatsoever.

Don't quote me on this, but apparently hype sells games. And I've also heard that selling games makes money. Do you think companies like to make money?

Unfortunately they don't adhere to logic. You'd be better off not bothering.

Not owning an x-box so I never completed Halo 1 or 2. I had a 360 a few years back and my friends were all getting excited saying I HAD to buy Halo 3..I did and was bitterly disappointing. The online was OK but I only play games online casually, i'm more of a campaign gamer.
Next came ODST, friends again said this would be the shet, it was just as bad as Halo 3.
My conclusion? Halo is for fanboys of the series only, it does nothing the best.
Good luck!

How exactly is this news? It's the same thing they said a few days ago, just now with the added twist of it being proclaimed biggest of all platforms. I thought that's what they were implying last time.
I want actual news on Reach, not this flame baiting willy waving. |
