Halo 3 Has One Million Unique Users Per Day

[A Raging Emo]

Too many people play Halo 3 for it to ever die.

Plus, it's really fun online

Good for Halo, but how many copies of Halo 3 have they sold?

Good for Halo, but how many copies of Halo 3 have they sold?

About 9 million copies according to what I can find. Halo 2 had ~9 million and Halo 1 ~5 million as well.

The main reason I don't play Halo avidly any more is for the simple fact that I cannot seem to get a competent team, and my mates aren't in the same skill bracket as me, so we can't play ranked together.

When you account for more than half of your team's kills on a 5v5 Deathmatch, you know something's wrong.

But how many of them will move to ODST instead of keep playing Halo?

ODST's versus multiplayer is Halo 3.

That's not what I meant. I don't think everyone of those users will go buy ODST soon after launch. I know it's the same mp. I was musing on how well ODST will sell.

Halo 3 is dead on the inside. I don't think ODST is going to cure Halo of it's ailments either.

One of the few games that has come close to the amount of users that WOW has, and thats quite a compliment, for a FPS!

Ten million users to go!

I was dissatisfied with Halo 3, which is a slight improvement over my feelings with Halo 2. I'm going to buy ODST and like it. Hell, somebody's gotta give Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk and Jayne Cobb... er... Adam Baldwin a paycheck.

the teabagging per day must be off the charts!

About a month ago, I played two games of Halo 3. An objective-based match and a deathmatch. In both games I had people question my sexuality and my worth as a human being. That's why I dislike the Halo 3 community.

The ever-infamous Internet Dickwad Theory applies here. Trust me, no matter what online multiplayer game you have, you will see that happening. It's happened to me across the board: playing Halo, playing TF2 on the PC, playing COD4/COD:WAW on the PS3...

I just ignore them, because I'm dominating over three-quarters of them anyway.

i do have to thank Halo 3, for its tireless efforts that every day keep one million douchebags off the streets.

That's the answer! This is why Halo must continue to exist and why more Halo games must be made. It's so obvious! You, good sir, are brilliant.

The best idea is to just not chat through the headset, if you play alone then don't bother with the headset, if you play with friends change the settings to friends-only voice chat.

This applies all across Xbox Live, Gears of War is just as bad, and from what I have heard, so is COD4's.

Agreed, that tends to be what I do, although it can be fun when you have a group of friends to stay out of party chat. You'll either meet a good bunch of people to chat to, or you can lay in to the arseholes as a group.

I liked Halo 3 When it came out but I found the multiplayer got blowen away by COD4. Also I found the people less annoying. I don't play online anymore though cause I'm finding the community has turned crap no matter what game.

Okay then, no harm done. I thought I said it better the first time.

Thats impressive but honestly the community on Halo 3 sucks. The only people I've met that I didn't have on my friends list were 10 to 13 year olds who just learned the "F" word and used it constantly. How anyone enjoys Halo online is beyond my understanding. I was just speaking in generalities because that Vrex360 kinda seems like the acception.

Major Nelson will probably make ODST and Halo 3 be in the same slot, as ODST is still technically considered an expansion, and therefore the same game.

So how will the new Halo 3/Halo 3: ODST fare in the charts?

 

[khaimera]

I think its intersting how many people say that online communities all suck. That means that we all suck also becuase we go online. Yet none of us would admit to being a douche when we play online. How can this be, if the whole community indeed sucks. Its sort of a paradox. If the community sucks, blame yourself. Or just be open to meeting and playing with new people, who seem nice. There are lots of non-douches that play halo and COD. Be open and you will find them.

Too many people play Halo for it to ever die. In all respect, it's not a bad game. It has fun multiplayer and a whole host of game types. Unfortunately, most players just stick with deathmatch and do questionable things with the corpses of players that they recently killed. The community, now I'm talking about everyone as a whole, is just terrible.

About a month ago, I played two games of Halo 3. An objective-based match and a deathmatch. In both games I had people question my sexuality and my worth as a human being. That's why I dislike the Halo 3 community.

I agree. The game as a whole isn't a bad thing. It's just a few people with IQ's lower than their shoe size that make people think "OMG, Halo 3 isn't worth my time", which makes me sad. I've played games with my friends who aren't moronic drop-kicks, and it was fun!
