In Response To: Re: December 2011 REACH Population Report (DEEP NNN)


: Your point has a factual basis, or so I've been told. For Halo 2 and 3,
: campaign was the biggest sales generator. Few people who hang around Halo
: forums believe that though. They believe the sole sales generator for Halo
: is multiplayer.

Does no one actually know what the various selling points were that moved more or fewer units?

: I was selling Living Dead short because I don't like the way it was done and
: my imagination does not scream that gametype when I think of Halo. If the
: infected were Flood character models, I may be more interested.

I heard they tried that for Halo 3 and it didn't work out; I guess since there aren't any Flood in Reach they thought it would be too much of a hassle/too much work/take too much time/not be worth it to try again.

: For me, no MM infection gametype was ever better than the custom games we used to
: play in Halo 2. I still lean towards thinking customs is where it should still be.

Well, how many of those were games that were pretty close to the standard rules? I don't have an answer of course but the point is the big difference is in who you're playing with, and matchmaking is inherently different in that way, and it's supposed to be different in that way. I like playing with people I know, especially if they're funny or a good teammate or provide a good challenge but not an insurmountable one, but sometimes I like to just go and play with whoever. Matchmaking provides variety-- maybe not as much in gametypes, but a lot in who you play with-- and you can meet people, even if you probably won't talk for long.

: I am not convinced most people playing Living Dead do it because they like
: it. I am of the opinion they dislike other MM gametypes more but like Halo
: so much they'll settle for Living Dead.

That doesn't seem likely to me.

: To me, it is devoid of any commitment.

Modern society in a nutshell, eh?

You cannot fall off the floor.
