| The Rock says it doesn't matter if CoD4 is on top! | |

In Response To: COD 4 once again tops the charts (SPARTAN 294) All this shows is that the majority of gamers are a fickle bunch, ready to jump on the bandwagon once "new hotness" comes out, regardless of whether new hotness is all it's cracked up to be. Just as long as the game's playable (i.e., not a total piece of shit riddled with glitches, broken controls, etc.) and looks nice, they'll dig in with a big smile on their face. They probably don't care about or even notice the little nuances that determine whether a game is a masterpiece or merely decent. They're the plebians. The Philistines. The lowest common denominator. We the true, dedicated fanbase that don't abandon our favorite game just because the next big thing comes out will keep Halo 3 going strong for a long time to come. We kept Halo 2 on top for 2 years, and even then Gears was the only game than surpassed it (though I wonder what the stats would've looked like if the Xbox and 360 kept tabs on players' activity the same way). CoD4 might be on top now, but its days are already numbered. Eventually, the next big game will come out and displace CoD4 from the top spot (most likely GTA4, and then GoW2 will displace it later on; can't think of any other really huge titles coming to the 360 this year). However, Halo 3 will remain strong. It may even recapture the top spot on occasion (watch out on the 15th, and when the third or any othe future map packs come out). I think CoD4 is just a fad. The whole "Whee! I get to use an M16. Oooh. I just leveled up again. Moar!" routine will get old. But Halo is forever. I may have my gripes about Halo 3's gameplay, but it's the still the best multiplayer experience the 360 has to offer. Okay. That's enough pointless fanboy posturing from me. Now let's stop talking about CoD4 being on top and do something about. Boot up Halo 3 right now. Move it Marines. The Corp ain't payin' us by the hour. I plan to do my part once I get a 360 of my own (as opposed to having to play at friends' houses).
