Yeah, might seem desperate. Thats why we have to keep this thread alive: For people to see and vote for Halo 4 as Most Anticapated. This is the communities job, after all.

When they actually show something to be excited about, maybe I’ll vote for it. Until then, nah, they haven’t earned it.

> Halo 4 must win, none of the games nominated has a huge fanbase even close to Halo.

I don’t mean to hate on Halo, but do you know what Diablo is?

That’s what we classify as a fanboy, so no, it probably doesn’t.

I know Diablo is big, but surely it didn’t sell as many copies as Halo Reach…

> Sorry, I love Halo to death but I’m about to piss my pants in anticipation over Mass effect 3. Bioshock is trash and Diablo 3 will be a dumbed down, prettied up version of Diablo 2. I’ll just stick with D2.
>
> ME3 also will get next year’s GOTY hands down.

I love halo to death but I had to vote for mass effect 3 because I really CAN NOT wait for it. I havn’t seen anything from H4 to make me want to play it. Don’t get me wrong I will get it most likely 100% I’m just stating ME3 has me.

> I know Diablo is big, but surely it didn’t sell as many copies as Halo Reach…

Its Blizzard dude, their WoW and StarCraft fans are pretty much all fans of Diablo. Also considering Diablo III was recently confirmed to being worked on for consoles its going to be a hard fight.

NOTICE

Can I just ask that we all be mature and stop discussing, insulting and arguing over other games before it scales out of control. Can I also ask that we be optimistic, We are putting up a hell of a fight, Halo can win and will if we keep trying. Thanks lets keep voting.

> I know Diablo is big, but surely it didn’t sell as many copies as Halo Reach…

Diablo 1 (1996) - “As of August 29, 2001, Diablo has sold 2.5 million copies worldwide.”

Diablo 2 (2000) - “As of August 29, 2001, Diablo II has sold 4 million copies worldwide.”

Halo: Reach (2010) - “Reach sold 3.3 million units in North America”

Translate that how you want.

Diablo 3 has been in development for as long as the Halo series has been around. Diablo is MASSIVE.

EDIT: Every game that’s up for vote deserves it. Different games cater to different people. As long as Diablo or Halo win i’ll be happy :smiley:

Who is insulting people? I haven’t seen any insulting yet, but maybe I just missed it.

Oh well, off to bed for me…

Sure it sold 3.3 million units in North America in its first month. Read the rest of the article.

It sold in a month (in the USA alone…) almost as many copies as Diablo II did in a year.

Yes diablo is big. Of course it is. But keep in mind Reach has sold up to 8,980,740 copies worldwide - http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/sales-data/35024/halo-reach/

But anyways, this is a Halo 4 forum, not diablo or Halo Reach. Keep on topic guys :slight_smile:

Wat. You’re comparing Reach’s North American sales vs. Diablo 1 and 2’s worldwide sales? Also, did you notice the huge gap in release dates here? Halo Reach in 10 years will definitely sell more than 4 million copies. I’m sure if we add worldwide sales to Reach it would be close or more than 4 million.

Halo is without a doubt in my mind a more popular franchise.

All i’m trying to say are both these games are amazing. Blizzard is a gigantic company, and Diablo is a massive series. Halo is also all of the above. The fans for both these series are some of the most passionate i’ve seen. All the information there is amazing no matter how you read it.

Pretty much ^^This. Blizzard is mega-rich off their three major franchises they develop especially WoW which requires a yearly or monthly subscription for game time PLUS expansion packs (Not cheap lol), and are all exclusive to the PC which makes their mega success even more impressive in this day and age. Alot of their fanbase are hardcore gamers and they mostly cater to the competitve crowd with their games which makes them one of the best Developers out there, and as a result their fanbases are some of the most passionate gamers out there. I havent played Diablo, but I have played SC II recently(Which I suck at lol) and I played WoW for many years and both games have huge depth and are very quality games. Halo and WoW are my favorite franchises so I voted Halo 4 lol.

Bumpity Bump Bump.

Still Apply’s!

Why should Halo 4 win though? So far it hasn’t showed anything to get excited about.
