Halo just isnt king anymore (sad face). The casuals have come in and made COD king with its "no need to practice, pat on the back, everybody is a winner!" gameplay. Those of us that enjoy Halo for what it is/was are in the minority now. That and look at who plays Halo. At least as far as the people I know IRL, most of my Halo playing friends are around my age and older. 21-30. College, Work, and family cut into play time. I like the game, I really do. But I have other things I like to do and cant be on at all times. Most of the people that I know who play COD are younger. Teens-20. Other than school during the day and a part time job, most have nothing but time on their grubby little hands to play that mindless garbage.
