Halo franchise up to 46 million games sold worldwide

4.7
The Halo franchise is up to 46 million games sold worldwide. Microsoft gave us the impressive figure today ahead of the launch of Halo 4, which was recently revealed as comfortably Microsoft's most expensive game to date.

According to Microsoft, Halo has so far generated $3 billion in revenue, there are 120 million pieces of user-generated content in Halo 3 to date, and 5 billion hours have been logged into Halo games via Xbox Live. We won't speculate on what all these figures may rise to following Halo 4's release next week.

Lol, while you get noob tubed and killed by over powered weapons. You've fallen in the CoD scam. Just new guns and maps. DLC is horrible.


Lol you have fallen with an extra 21st chromosome. "Just new guns and maps" I guess you arent aware of what a sequel is. How is Halo 4 different from Reach? Spartan Ops?(COD already has zombies so it would be pointless for them to try and add something else) New guns? New Maps? Well according to you, that doesn't make a new game.


Then again CoD is a Multiplatform game.... it is repetitive and takes no skill at all. Pick up a real shooter like BF3, Gears or Halo you sheep.


Halo takes skill? **** please I was owning people in Halo 2 when I was 11 years old. BF3 takes skill? **** please it's easy, BF3 is easy, or maybe I'm just good at games and yall are terrible lmao. Gears of War takes skill? If you aren't using a shotgun or spraying and praying with the retro lancer. You were born in 1995, you can't even buy those games without your parents consent lmao.
Not trying to get into your guys' debate here about these video games but Deadly Dash, aren't you younger than him if he was born in '95? You're just 14 like you said - http://icap.me/i/ozbWbsu5eh.png
______________

To try and stay on topic with this article -- So yup.. Halo 4 and Black Ops 2.. going to be um.. great games?....


I was intimidating how you down syndrome kids on TTG (such as yourself for posting that picture)

I then said you kids on here always say "CODZ ONLI POPULER BCUZ 10 YEAR OLDS BY IT" then I put ( Even though I'm only 14) to make fun of the kids who have the audacity to call other people kids when they aren't even old enough to buy the game.

Oh let me guess, you were just trolling?


Troll?.. um.. no.

I find it weird how you say things like "you can't even buy those games without your parents consent lmao." when you aren't even old enough either.. or in this picture - http://icap.me/i/mSeZT8KCIZ.png how you say something like you're in college.. ok, 14 year old in College, I bet.

What's the point in lying?


I just told you when I posted the post saying I was 14 years old I was typing it as if I was one of you 14 year old kids on TTG who always say COD is full of kids when they're kids themselves.
mhmm.. yep.. THAT was probably it.. right?

Oh yea that was a mistake. I was browsing through your profile and saw some lyrics about touching a dead girl and getting her pregnant or some shit so I googled the lyrics thinking they were from Tyler The Creator who is in a group called Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, so I was thinking about Odd Future when I was typing the comment and put group.

if games take no skill then why are there people performing at different levels?and i play cod for a reason,i don't like battlefield(never been a fan of vehicles,or just massive maps and one of the reasons most people say to get it is for its graphics,well i play on an old tube tv so graphics don't matter.)i used to like halo,that was the reason i got 360 was because of halo3,but i don't like reach and since then have pretty much forgotten about halo, i also have gears,i've had all 3 and my favorite being gears 1 then 3 but have also just kind of forgotten it bc i didn't care as much as i used to.also by your logic those shooters too are repetitive and take no skill because they are sequels (repetitive)(games in a series will be similar) and yes halo&gears are ms exclusive but they are both pc and xbox thus multi-platform.


Woah slow down man you're using logic and reason in your argument, Halo fanboys don't like to argue like that. I remember trying to tell these fanboys the exact same thing. If COD takes no skill then why are there some people with 0.11 K/Ds and others with 3.2 K/Ds dominating the games. To which the Halo fanboy replied "BCUZ HEZ BAD N DA OTHA GAI IZ GOOD!" and I asked "Wait if someone is bad and someone is good that means skill is involved" his response was "ATLETZ 10 YEAR OLDZ DUN PLAY HALO!!!!"


Stop your freaking ****... cause you sure are acting like a 12 year old. Also who gives a **** about what game is better...


If you can't take the heat, get the **** out the kitchen and go listen to ImmortalTechnique (a group you probably barely know **** about since you were also born in 1995, which is why you're defending that guy)


Funny considering that Immortal Technique is not a group but a single man. Also don't tell me "if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen." cause you are the one getting a sore a$s about a fing video game... grow the f up.

Let me tell you this. As a gamer who started out in CoD4 (Best there will ever be) I conclude it takes no skill to play. It's all a matter of LEARNING HOW TO PLAY. Tell me why in 2 weeks I was able to play as good as the majority of people in CoD? Pick up a game like Halo or Gears especially Gears, and you'll find out why there is a small community, because people who often play online get scraped. It took me 2.5 months, yes that long, to even know how to move around and do what you must to win, it took me another month (playing for hours on end) to learn how to wallbounce, strafe, take cover in appropriate places, and learn the weapon spawns so yes it takes skill. Guess what? I learned to quickscope in 3 hours, and to this day I can't say that I'm even close to being good with the sniper in Gears. You want to talk about a game that does take skill? NEVER talk about CoD. The only reason I've ever bought a CoD game after MW2 was because my retarded friends always buy it and I HATE playing alone. The same reason why I'm buying BO2. Bottom line, CoD takes no skill.

http://thetechgame.org/NotSureIfTrollingOrJustStupid

I just told you when I posted the post saying I was 14 years old I was typing it as if I was one of you 14 year old kids on TTG who always say COD is full of kids when they're kids themselves. Hence why I put (even though I'm only 14) after I put COD is full of 10 year olds?

I know you're stalking so how about you make pictures of those post where I said I've been playing Halo for 8 years since I was 11 or 10 years old.

People like you prove that every FPS game has dumb ass little kids. Each time someone says "CODZ WILL ONLI BE MOAR POPULER BCUZ COD IS FUL OF KIDZ AND HALO IZ FOR MEN (IM ONLY 14 YEARZ OLD BUT IM A MAN)" I will refer to your post because your lack of reading comprehension skills is amusing.
