Woo Hoo.
I am one of those 6% of total players who completed the Campaign on Legendary in the first five days.
I also completed Normal and Heroic in those first 5 days.
As for the 1.4 billion kills in war games...I am pretty sure half of those are based on my deaths. :(
So many good players online. No wonder this is the top MLG game played.
8 Million world wide PS3 and 360 combined. That's some big numbers.
Possible 3/5 split?
PS3 3 Million
360 5 Million
Either way, COD BO2 outsold Halo 4 with day 1 sales.
I'm not much of a fan with the BO titles but I did buy this one because it's got a modern/future environment.
I am not a fan of COD online. I prefer Battlefield for my military shooters. But I LOVE the COD single player ...

Using the term "terrible" would suggest there wasn't ANYTHING that you enjoyed yet you did like
Halo
Mass Effect 3
Dishonored
Borderlands 2
Those are some pretty big games with longevity. I think the term "terrible" is a gross over exaggeration.
Party Pooper. :(
Yup, but MS still gave away a FREE console to loyal customers.
A free console is better then having to pay for a console.
Totally agree. I have been a member since day 1 (loved mechassault) I just checked my GT and no star beside it. I think you are right, this is only for the USA.
That makes me frown just a bit. :(
2012 terrible?
Mass Effect 3
Dishonored
Halo 4
COD BO2
Assassins Creed 3
Forza Horizon
Farcry 3
Playstation Allstars
Borderlands 2
Hitman
Xcom
Tekken
Transformers
Dust: An Elysian Tail
And that's not even including the sports games like Fifa 13, NHL 13 and NBA 2K13.
I disagree. This year was a good year.
party chat.
To avoid the annoying kids or racist teens and adults I use party chat with my buddies while we play together or if we are both playing Halo.
That's still 2 hours longer then MGS4's campaign.
I played Halo 4 on Normal and it took me 9 hours.
I played Halo 4 on Heroic and it took me 10 hours (since I knew the enemies I was facing and the weapons I was going to use at this point)
I played Halo 4 on Legendary and it took me 15 hours.
Halo 4 is NOT a 6 hour game.
I wouldn't call it short. The campaign is 10 hours on normal. Reach was 7-8. It took me 15 hours to complete halo 4 on legendary by myself.
Flood did make an appearance in the story, not the game. I am sure in Halo 5 or 6 we will see them. Like meerkat said, fighting flood in this episode wouldn't have made sense story wise.
You are all thinking that its 5 straight hours.
There are 24 hours in a day, you can play those 5 hours in segments through out the day.
Not to mention you can play 2 hours a day and then make up the difference on weekends.
There are so many ways of distributing those 140 hours in a month when a month consists of 672 hours. Clearly this promotion is for younger gamers who don't have careers or time spending responsibilities. As an adul...
Both versions had their issues, I wouldn't go so far as to call the PS3 version the "better" version especially when GTA 4 had 640p resolution on the PS3 and is 720p on the 360.
GTA 4 has a lower resolution on the PS3 then the 360
Red Dead Redemption was all around better resolution and performance wise on the 360.
At some point R* will have to have built a game that performs better on the PS3...may as well be in the PS3's 6 year on the market.
1 for 3 isn't that bad.
But again we still need to the finished product before we can start pounding our chests which version is better...
This list is close to my personal list.
Halo 4
Halo: CE
Halo 3
Halo Reach
Halo Wars
Halo ODST
Halo 2
That's my personal list and yes Halo Wars is a Halo game so I am unsure why Kotaku is ignoring it in their list. Also just because I have Halo 2 at the bottom doesn't mean it wasn't an awesome game. It just means on a list of awesome games it's at the bottom of the list of awesome games.
@ Hydrolex
"PS3 exclusives just blow 360 exclusives out of the water."
That is not fact, that is opinion.
Hydrolex you are NOT a factboy since you don't even know what a fact is.
I guess 343i figured it was a useless feature and removed it since most people play with their friends over strangers.
@ Jaces.
You can say GOW3 this and Uncharted that but bottom line is neither of those titles are doing what Halo has done. Large open world environments, vehicles, 4 player co-op, HUGE multiplayer options, 4 player side missions (spartan ops) and a Map editor (Forge). All done while keeping a steady frame rate and having some of the best visuals/graphics released this gen.
I am sorry but as great as GOW3 and Uncharted are (a couple of franchises that I am a...
I have to disagree about Dead Space.
Dead Space is rich with lore and the game's story line made absolute sense. There was nothing forgettable about Dead Space's story unless you didn't understand it and couldn't follow it, I really do see how anyone could say it was forgettable.
I am almost done my second play through on Heroic and I have to say it is hands down the best Halo yet.
The graphics are so amazing, well polished and sharp. The story is compelling, mature and even darker then previous Halo titles. You get to see the human side of Master Chief and his relationship with Cortana.
The Multiplayer is just so much faster and fluid with so many variants.
My ONLY gripe with the game is the maps that were selected...
"I have never played a Halo game before."
Stopped caring about his opinion on Halo 4 right about there.
