Honestly, I hope it doesn't. I want Halo: Reach to stay top dog just because of how much better I think the Halo series is. Your opinions?

Will you stop playing Reach and play Black Ops multiplayer when it comes out?

No because people thought MW2 would kill off Halo 3 (and we all know how that ended up).

Probably for about a Month until people get tired of Black ops then go back to Halo.

I cant stand halo period, its a dated game that uses a horrible aiming system, firing from the hip is so unnatural, i mean this isnt doom... its time to step up the game halo, its time to evolve your combat... and for the record, i hope black ops is amazing but treyarch have yet to prove to me they can make a good cod game.

Well going on the Reach forums at Bungie.net, a lot of the topics are about how bad Reach is compared to Halo 3 and what not. I think there's a lot less people on Reach right now than there was at Halo 3's launch. And CoD destroys everything in it's path, so I think CoD won't really kill Reach, but there will be a lot less players on Reach when BO is out. I for one don't like BO but I speak the truth!

I think it will for a while but since my wife is actually into playing Reach now I might have to hold off on BO since she hates those games.

heck no. Halo may not be as big as it used to be but its still has one of the most solid followings out there. COD could never kill halo. People will be playing reach years from now. Whereas COD has to release a new game every year to keep people interested.

I agree with you, I prefer Halo over COD. Of course it's all about preference.

It's going to be the most played for awhile. MW2 still has about as much as Reach right now.

I already went back to MW2 after getting sick of Reach in like a month, while I've been playing MW2 pretty consistently since it came out so, yeah... Black Ops will definitely kill Reach for me!

I dont know what you mean by "kill" Halo Reach. Nothing can kill Halo Reach, or any game for that matter. If you mean, "out-sell" then I will say, yes. Considering Black Ops carries the "Call of Duty" brand with the heavy influence of MW2 which sold 20 million, the obvious answer is yes, once again. Let's face it, Black Ops is multi-platform while Halo Reach is purely exclusive to Xbox 360. No offense, but what kind of question is that? :P

I think it's a little too early for me to speculate. I would have to play BO before I could give my honest opinion, but as it now stands there's no way it's going to kill off Reach. You'll have the Halo and COD fanboys that remain loyal to their franchises, and then you'll have people more like myself who go back and forth between the two based off of what I'm in the mood for. A lot of it for me will also depend on BO's multiplayer set up, maps, and what-not but I don't think Reach will die off, nor if BO would have been released first would I feel that Reach would kill off BO.

That's inevitable. It's sad, but true.

Halo won't be 'top dog' over CoD probably ever again, but I don't see it completely dying either. People still played Halo 3 after MW2 came out and that was a 3 year old game so I'm sure the Reach community will still be strong.

I don't think it will. There seems to be two distinct groups that play each one, so I think Halo will be around for a while.

Nah. Halo has always stayed in the top 3 even with Modern Warfare 2 out. So no. But the top 5 will be like this: After Black Ops: 1. Black Ops 2. Halo Reach 3. Modern Warfare 2 4. Halo 3 5. World at War And after a month or so: 1. Modern Warfare 2 2. Halo Reach 3. Black Ops 4. Halo 3 5. World at War Not much variety, is there?

Nah it won't, few a weeks it will be less popular but when the maps for Reach are released people will probably start migrating back and forth.

Put it this way there won't be a shortage of players for either games.

Personally, i think it is a difficult question. But i am pretty sure these two games will blow other games out of the water.

You cant kill Halo. I do believe that a lot of people that switched over to Halo because they got tired of MW2 will switch back over to COD though.

You have to take into account that the number of people who post on the Bungie.net forums make up a very small percentage of the total player base for Reach. Just because there are a few people who are very vocal about their opinions doesn't mean that everyone thinks Reach is a bad game.

As for if Black Ops will "kill" Reach, I would have to say no. Black Ops will surpass Reach at first due to the hype of the game just coming out, but in a couple months the hype will die down and the players who play it more casually will move on to a another game, just like what happened to Reach. What will happen then will be a battle of both games trying to get players attention through new content and stuff like that.

It's impossible for a single game to kill another.

That much though, Black Ops can end. Black Ops will definitely become the more played game for at least a few weeks just because it's new. We'll have to wait and see if that'll remain the case after a month or so, though. Either way, by next year most of Black Ops' player will have moved on to the next Call of Duty while Reach retains a much larger and loyal player population. ANd personally I will continue to play Reach. I will not be playing Black Ops unless I play my brother in law's copy.

I don't really care, I have heard good and bad things about Reach from my friends that play it, butI personally like the way that weapons in COD feel and that is important to me, so I'm gonna stick with it, just not gonna buy one every year, maybe every two, every now and then I might splurge to get the yearly installment, but I doubt it.

Currently Halo Reach doesn't seem to be as talked about, hyped or played as much as Halo 3 :/ There seems to be much more anticipation for Black Ops in my opinion.

I don't know if it will or not. It is a pretty tall order to top Reach as an FPS. I also liked MoH. I'm greatly looking forward to Black Ops (getting it this afternoon), but I'd imagine that all three shoothers will be on par with one another.
