Slayer25

I'm worried with the current Halo's situation, there are few players, and the numbers will decrease even more. My hope is Xone save the franchise. Destiny can be good, but I bet it will be very different from Halo.

Destiny will probably be CoD + Halo, it's how I feel.

GoW well played? Just 1(for the release time) and Judgement (but it will probably fail soon).

IMO H4 sold well, but there is more than it. Is very important the number of players that stay faithful to the game. But what games are really very played today, beside CoD and BF (mean multiplayer)?

If those things that you guys said are true, why doesn't 343 release a patch fixing everything? They have nothing to lose. In January we had about 11 thousand players in Infinity Slayer at noons of Saturday, now it's about 7 thousand, this way until Halo 5 there will be just 5 hundred.

Yeah, it's just a tendency of the market, it will change someday. Any hardcore gamer knows Halo, GoW or ME, but CoD has casual and hardcore players, while most part of the cited games have more hardcore than casual.

I think as you, but for some reason CoD is the favorite of time, it isn't bad and influenced all FPS of generation, but I can't play it more than 3 weeks.

I agree that Halo 4 is really very easy, but very good and hardcore games like Gears of War 3 aren't so popular anymore.

I've started to play Halo with H4, so you, old gamer, can disagree. I loved the game, the most original FPS I have ever seen, but I noticed that there are few players for a Halo game in it's first year. H3 was the most played game in live for much time, but H4 isn't close of the players quantity it's predecessor. After think a little, I understood that CoD wasn't a franchise so strong as today. There was a vacuum between 2007 and 2009, without Halo, then CoD had it's oportunity to take the throne. I mean that H4 is not the real problem, it can have had some alterations that displeased the old school fans, but is far to be a bad game. The truth is: CoD has conquered hardcore and casual players, including some Halo fans, the public is in love for military games, rapid reflexes based. Is how the Halo time has passed away. Lets see what will be the "CoD killer". It's just an opinion, sorry for the english not so good, my native tongue has many prepositions, then sometimes I don't know the right time to not use them.

I hated it, they made infinity slayer playlist a mess. I'm dismayed to play halo, serious.

My impressions are that Bungie will try make it bigger than Halo, and will have a Halo's way, but seems that will have a CoD's way too

I'm becoming mad with these effects. How the text says CoD doesn't requires much skill. The best players are those who know good positions in map and many times those who camp. Anyway it has made successful with casual gamers and how a game is very expansive to product, the already established franchises are destroying games making them noob friendly. There is no problem in like CoD (I don't), but the developers can't turn every shoot game in CoD,it let us without variety. Neither Gears of War: Judgement escaped.

Yeah, it is really good to get out of infinity slayer's routine.

I have BO2 here, and when I play this, I stay happy for have Halo 4 (serious xD).

<p>Why doesn't 343 add a play list of infinity slayer with classic features from previous Halos with the current maps? </p> <p>I, as a new player of series would like try it, and many old school guys would be more pleased.</p>
