Halo Infinite's E3 trailer is at 4.1 million views. Didn't Death Stranding's most recent trailer blow past that in like 24 hours?
If anything I think CoD4 was definitely doing some of the killing. When ign was doing their weekly xbl rankings, there were large stretches where CoD4 was beating it, it often took a map pack for halo 3 to take the lead. Only for some time to pass and CoD would be up front again.COD didn't "kill" Halo in the first years. But when you take a look at COD's peak era 2009-2015 where it sold between 25m-30m every god damn year...Halo was no match anymore.
Honest question. I've seen quotes that Infinite is changing minds ...
How does anyone know Infinite is turning the tide with popularity? Are there game play videos out there I am unaware of? All I've seen is CG movies.
Nope. There's no gameplay videos, or even any information at all at how gameplay is gonna play out. It's just 343 being like "wE'vE cHanGed, trUST uS" for the 10th time. The only reason people seem to think that Infinite is gonna be any good is because they're changing the art style back to a more classic style, yet my bet is the gameplay will still be just as bad as 4 and 5.Honest question.

Depending on how you look at it, you could contribute it to Xbox losing popularity this gen compared to last gen. I don't know the install base ratios to know if the ratio changed from one gen to the next, but I'd argue it's lost some popularity because the game got more and more MP focused when a lot of the early Halo players loved the story.
So many Halo haters in here. The worst Halo games are better than most anything released in the past 5 years.
Nope, he is right. Halo 5 is a better than alot of games including the Destiny franchise. Zero paid expansions, free content updates, great gunplay, a story mode you can play offline, ect. MCC is also the greatest collection of games ever put together and it's about to get Reach added to it along with a PC Port.

Reach and Halo 4 solidified killing Halos popularity tho.
That and like anything else, it's the easier/friendlier game. Kills came easier, it gave you BS kill streak stuff, the rpg meta shit made people feel like they got something done.And this was just Xbox, not PS3 and PC. It was quite impressive at the time watching that game slowly become the next big thing. Sales wise and online community wise, it blew up in a way that i never would have imagined in the era of Halo. It didnt even have the crazy marketing, cross promotional tie ins and toys that Halo 3 did. It was just word of mouth in how good the game was. It very much mimics how random games blow up nowadays.

+10 ruined online shooters forever, and they never recovered. :(And this was just Xbox, not PS3 and PC. It was quite impressive at the time watching that game slowly become the next big thing.

Nope halo 5 is easily the worst halo game ever released, the Destiny franchise is better than it in every way. It's really shown that halo is a shell of its former self. They have finally done right by MCC and its great but i have no faith in halo infinite.Nope, he is right. Halo 5 is a better than alot of games including the Destiny franchise.

Lame game that launched a ton of horrible trends for the genre, but it was definitely the thing that took Halo off its top commercial spot in the genre.
Haha yeah it certainly influenced a decade of not just shooters but all games for maybe the worse. I'd be lying if I said I felt that way at the time though. I remember really enjoying it for what it did differently compared to Halo. But fast forward to today and I'm not playing CoD anymore and still play Halo 2/3 on the regular.+10 ruined online shooters forever, and they never recovered. :(
I've seen nothing from 343 that says they can recapture the magic that Bungie created years ago

And yet people will continue to support EA, Activision, Epic, Bungie, ect. after poor business practices were implemented into their games and shit treatment of their employees.
Destiny fucking sucks lol the hell. Thought that was common knowledge. Any game that requires paid dlc to become good/whole sucks in my book. Plus the crucible is garbage. Bungie creates mlg, funny how it's nowhere to be seen in destiny but somehow someway 343 got 5 back into the pro circuit after the utter fuck up that was launch halo reach MP. What do I know though I'm just a dude that's capable of remembering shit that happens a little over 8 years ago 🙄.Nope halo 5 is easily the worst halo game ever released, the Destiny franchise is better than it in every way.

Ugh, god I hope they don't listen to the non halo fans. 5 has some of the best gameplay in any halo game. 4 was hot garbage in that regard but 5 was sprained across the board for its gameplay. But who cares about critics and pro circuit players that shunned the last 2 halo games (Reach being one of them) and praised 5's gameplay. I really hope they don't listen to the vocal minority on this one. I love playing MCC but I swear if some of these "fans" got a there way we'd be playing fucking halo 3, halo 3 atm is slower than damn molasses. I still play it lol, I love it. It hasn't aged the best that's for damn sure, I never play halo 4 in the MCC I'll agree with you on that, gameplay in that game was not good.Nope. There's no gameplay videos, or even any information at all at how gameplay is gonna play out. It's just 343 being like "wE'vE cHanGed, trUST uS" for the 10th time.

Yeah and you have no clue what your talking about. Halo 5 is trash and it's the reason halo is looked at with a side eye anymore instead of a primer franchise. Destiny is worlds better than it.Destiny fucking sucks lol the hell. Thought that was common knowledge. Any game that requires paid dlc to become good/whole sucks in my book.

Halo 5 doesn't have a goddamn splitscreen multiplayer. You can't play Halo 5 multiplayer on a couch. No splitscreen. In Halo.Nope, he is right.

I have no idea what happened in the story of 5 and I beat it twice. They need to go back to their roots, simple MC vs Covenant or something. They have royally screwed up the story.Halo 5 doesn't have a goddamn splitscreen multiplayer. You can't play Halo 5 multiplayer on a couch. No splitscreen. In Halo.
The story was fucking abysmal, too.
Like, how do you go: "People like Master Chief, right? How about we make a story that barely features him?" and nobody stops you at any point in the process from writing to development and goes "....maybe we shouldn't do that".Obviously Halo has lost its popularity from when it was the biggest FPS game on the market, no question.

Yeah I'll never put a pay to win game over 5's mp. There is no side eye, halo MCC is the second most hyped pc release of this year. It's literally just this threads circle jerk mentality. Destiny 1 was garbage and my facts still stand, crucible is ass. It's big faaaaaaaall from there halo days. I wanted to like destiny, but a game that requires PAID dlc to be good isn't a good game. I'd love to hear your argument besides shouting who's wrong the loudest. Destiny is hot garbage the literally requires a season pass to be fun. 5 actually had good gameplay with free dlc. 5 is easily the better of the 2 AND halo 5 is like what, 4-5 years old now? I still hold the same opinion, since destiny is still pulling the same anti consumer bs. We can debate or argue bro it's up to you. How's halo looked with a side eye yet fucking old ass halo games are the most hyped release for he year lol. I'll say this again as a testament of how good the gameplay was for 5, it's not shunned by mlg scene like destiny and halo reach is. Again, crucible is ass. The rest is shit you have to pay for, I don't remember me paying for the custom game browser or forge or awesome firefight or any of that jazz.Yeah and you have no clue what your talking about. Halo 5 is trash and it's the reason halo is looked at with a side eye anymore instead of a primer franchise. Destiny is worlds better than it.
Halo 5 and bad gameplay are such an oxymoron. And I say this as a Halo fan since the first game. Halo 5, to me, is a near-perfect modernization of Halo's gunplay. I'm willing to debate sprint vs. a higher base movement speed (as in DOOM 2016), but beyond that it's incredibly satisfying.Nope. There's no gameplay videos, or even any information at all at how gameplay is gonna play out. It's just 343 being like "wE'vE cHanGed, trUST uS" for the 10th time. The only reason people seem to think that Infinite is gonna be any good is because they're changing the art style back to a more classic style, yet my bet is the gameplay will still be just as bad as 4 and 5.
"Halo 5 is trash", incredible criticism. Destiny's PvP can't hold a candle to the balance of Halo 5's arena set-up for me. Balanced maps, no load outs, player skill and teamwork are front and center.Yeah and you have no clue what your talking about. Halo 5 is trash and it's the reason halo is looked at with a side eye anymore instead of a primer franchise. Destiny is worlds better than it.
Came here to post this exact tweet since I found it funny timing after reading this thread yesterday lol
The crazy part isn't that halo is the most anticipated, but that is murderers row of awesome shooters to go up against and still come out on top in terms of anticipation!
