Yes but I don't think people are giving the franchise as a whole enough credit for what it did to revolutionize gaming...

What's Halo, I've been to entertained with the amazing franchises that have been dominating the PC since the early 90's to even think it possible for consoles to have a franchise worth buying.

You should add in your thread title, 'Halo: The greatest video game franchise of all time IMO!' I personally think it's overrated. But I love the games.

Never been a fan of Halo, but i think it is naive to call it greatest of all time. You know, for the XBOX community, HALO has the biggest impact i believe and it is the arguably the most popular or defining series in the XBOX's history.

"Halo: the greatest video game franchise of all time"

I wouldn't go that far. I think Mario has Halo beat by leaps and bounds.

Calling it the greatest video game franchise is a bit of a stretch. Maybe the best online console shooter franchise...

Man, i was about to disagree with you about the part where it says "the best online shooter franchise" but then i saw the "console" part and i completely agreed with you.:)

I was going to start yapping about Quake and Counter Strike and all other online shooter franchises.;)

What records? I can't find anything yet that Reach has done that. I know that they have predicted that it will, and I wouldn't be surprised seeing as Halo 3 holds most current sales records, but as of yet I can't find anything saying it has. If you have a source please link cause I have been looking all day.

Greatest franchise of all time? No way. It's arguably the best thing to happen for Xbox, but not for the gaming industry as a whole.

i have to agree . I mean if it wasnt for halo FPS wouldnt be the Same when Halo 1 came out FPS on console was Rare especially a good one . We only Had Golden eye pretty much . Halo Upped the Bar For future shooters like COD and Battlefield to Leave PC and Try Console Gaming . Halo Reach is amazing You get so much for your buck .Congrats Bungie thank you for 10 years of Awesome .

It has the most pre-orders of any single game (COD MW2 had more if you count 360 and PS3 together, but Reach surpassed the 360 version of MW2)

Yea, I play Halo and other games too just think Halo is a good franchise. (Answer This: Will Halo be popular in the next 10 20 years? People are bound to forget it.

I like the Halo games, but I would not say that it is the best or greatest video game franchise of all time.

There are many other game series that are way better than Halo, like the Half-Life series and Mass Effect series and the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game series on pc and many others.

This is just my opinion of course.

People Didnt Forget Mario and Halo Has a Massive Community as long as they Keep giving us Editing Tools like forge it will keep players i mean thats what really Drives halo in the End is its Multiplayer and its Customization to edit and Make cool new maps . make the game have more Longevity .

I dunno about the greatest video game franchise, but certainly one of the most influential.

Did someone seriously claim that the Halo franchise doesn't get enough credit? I see these forums are still full of ignorant 13 year old fanboys. Maybe I'll check back in another few months.

Halo hasnt been around long enough to be considered the greatest franchise, its only been around for one generation of gamers, if its still popular in 10yrs then these claims could be made. But when you look at franchises like mario, sonic and FF, Halo doesnt compete.

iv'e enjoyed halo since the first game was released and I must say the latest offering is the best one yet. Also I think the multiplayer is more engaging than even before. I dont think I'd call halo the best game of all time there a lot of games out there.

If there is truth that there is honour among thieves, and also that many hands make light work, then why is there no Thieves' RS Guild? An 'entrepreneur' by the name of Darren Light finger had this very thought, and is now recruiting guild members to help him build a splendid subterranean guildhall. To this end he is tasking rogue adventurers with 'rescuing ' a valuable 'artifact' in our latest quest, Buyers and Cellars. Such a novice caper will be the perfect start to a long and illustrious career as a thief, but it's only the beginning of Darren's ambitions for his Thieves' RS Guild. Following on from the quest, he has a series of other capers planned to test the abilities of thieving community, each of which increases in complexity and requirements. As you complete these Thieves' Guild capers you will, of course, receive suitable rewards in the form of loot and XP, plus you'll also be contributing to the advancement of the guild, unlocking further facilities and opportunities for training Thieving.
