That’s for the full year.

> After a few days of number crunching, here are the top games for 2011 based on Unique Users connect to Xbox LIVE or full versions purchased between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2011.

Where’s the facepalm.gif ?

> Nice! I cant wait to see the hater explain this one LOL =)

3 call of duty games beat reach.

1 of which was released a full YEAR before reach was.

there is over 3x as many people playing call of duty as halo.

‘success’

LOL.

Also, notice how 3 games that were released late 2011 are right behind it? lol.

Seems like the Halo haters have already invaded the thread.

O well. I am glad to see at #4 for the year.

Wait, are you saying popular=good?

About the Call of Duty, is it just speaking of on one console, or all of them? I’m guessing just one, but still, considering how cheap CoD is, and how easy to play… Would you really be surprised.

It’s written "Xbox 360 Top LIVE Titles (based on UU’s) ".
So yes, it’s only 1 console.

Yeah, I can’t take you seriously for that last sentence you wrote.

Also those charts are for unique users for the year. Just how many of those unique users are still playing the game? For an updated look onto how Reach really is doing you should look at the current charts, kid.

This game is not improving, you have a delusion that it is.

If you are a Halo hater I advise you to pick another forum.

Every time it moved down a rating, there would be dozens of threads about it in the Bungie.net Halo: Reach forum. I’m noticing a disturbing lack of a single thread regarding it having moved up to 4th again. Haters gonna blindly hate, I suppose.

I love Halo, just not Reach.

if Halo 4, 5, and 6 were released like CoD released their games, the charts would be like this:

  1. Halo 5
  2. Black Ops
  3. Halo 6
  4. MW3
  5. Halo 4
  6. MW2
    True fact.

Halo 3 is #16 and CoD 4 is #14. why is CoD 4 higher? you cant mod and get away with it in Halo 3 ;D
if only ya could still play Halo 2. that game would be at least #10. True Fact.

Hey maybe the TU is more popular than ppl think :smiley:

> Hey maybe the TU is more popular than ppl think :smiley:

Thats what it must have been.

Seems like the only way some people would say Reach is good is if it had twice as many users as all CoD players across all platforms in every CoD game combined.

Agreed. But 343 is doing great things with what they got (failreach) and for that I am extremely great full

Sarcasm?

And I was excited originally by this, as just after reading the January update I am so excited to play Reach now. [have -Yoink!- with] CoD. But then it was just 2011, which is no big success or surprise. Reach was #1 til everyone got bored and stopped giving it the chance to “grow on them”.

I want to see #s for January though. I can almost guarantee it’s going to move up from #7 if anyone else is as glad about this update as I am.
