Halo 3
Game » consists of 17 releases. Released Sep 25, 2007
The conclusion to the original Halo trilogy has the super-soldier Master Chief joining forces with The Arbiter to finish off the threat of both the remaining Covenant Empire and the parasitic Flood, once and for all.
As of August 2009, Halo 3 has sold 10 million copies
Well im sure some of you have heard this before but, as of August this year Halo 3 has sold over 10 Milltion units worldwide making it the first Xbox exclusive to reach 10 Million (In both the original and 360) and the 35th ever made to reach that mark. What are your thoughts on that?
" @Bucketdeth said:Because only 12 year olds can enjoy Halo, right ? *shrug*" Thats a lot of 12 year olds. "That's all the 12 year olds. "
"Took long enough. "I guess I can understand, given it's an Xbox exclusive. Games like Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty get a little leeway because they're available on several concurrent platforms.
Umm shouldn't GTA IV have as well.@Bellum said:
" "Both the original and the 360"? "It has is the most sold on 360 and has sold more than the top original Xbox game.

King of sucking it it suppose.
" hurray. the word Halo comes from the arabic word "ha-luh" which means halo. "Halo means halo? What a strange coincidence . . . almost as if it was planned!
" Is that the fastest game to sell 10 million? "Not even close

I didn't help. I bought my Special Edition version used. Played 20 minutes and was overcome by nausea and boredom. Just not for me. I need the Nintendo play through thing, so I can get to the interesting bits (I am sure there are interesting bits) and past the boring start. I don't see myself going back to it in any hurry.
It's hilarious the amount of damage control that transpired in this thread. Why are people personally offended at halo 3 selling 10 million? I know it's because natetodamax ragequits every single time he is killed by these "12 year olds", even though he likes to think he is above it, but what about everyone else?

Congrats, Halo! That's a lot of sales from only 4 games, with the vast majority of sales being in one game (Halo 3).
So I thought that Halo 3 sold around 8m so far... does that mean that Halo 1, 2 and Wars sold the rest?
" @Ahmad_Metallic said:its possible that, for instance, the word Halo (which means halo) comes from the arabic word "ha-luh" which doesnt mean halo, but something different (or similar to halo) .. isnt it ?" hurray. the word Halo comes from the arabic word "ha-luh" which means halo. "Halo means halo? What a strange coincidence . . . almost as if it was planned! "
the obvious and quick (more like hasty) answer is "no it isnt" but really, it is ..
" @Dalai said:There's no point in questioning blind stupidity." @Bucketdeth said:Oh so EVERYONE who enjoys Halo is a 12 year old? "" Thats a lot of 12 year olds. "That's all the 12 year olds. "
Also, yeah, because if I play ANY OTHER GAME on LIVE, everyone is mature as hell right? People are idiots.

" Anything Halo wise always attracts the assholes. Its the rule of the internet. "I don't think so. Anything online attracts ass holes, you'll meet just as many immature jerks on Call of Duty, Killzone, World of Warcraft or even Pokemon.
Hell, even on this website as evident by some of these posts.
I'm not sure why Halo has aquired such a bad reputation for this, I've made more online friends on Halo than any other game I've ever played online.. I've come across my fair share of those 12 year olds too, but again, not any more than I have on other games. If anything, I'd say it's more noticeable purely because of the amount of people that play Halo, and the fact almost everyone uses voice chat.

" @girdz said:Roughly 25 million for the three mainline games if you don't count the PC versions. Something like 28.5ish if you count ODST." @xyzygy: Nope, Halo 3 has sold 10 million. "Oh, wtf? I thought that the OP meant like, all the games combined. It must be between 15-20 million now if you include the whole franchise. "
Also, haters gonna hate.
It's more noticable because the people that seem to think this have played about 12 games of halo, and as a result just float around the bottom ranks of matchmaking. Once you get to extremely high levels it's not kiddies, it's fully grown tryhards who are impossible cunts and arseholes. That's why i play social - the presence of either group is minimal" @Zereta said:

I guess that's cool, haven't played Halo 3 in a while (since the summer maybe?). And to the people who say that Halo 3 is full of immature kiddies, luckily not everyone who likes Halo is like that.
I'm quite surprised that relatively many people are still playing Halo 3's multiplayer now that MW2 has been out for a few weeks; was similarly surprised that I could still join a game of Bad Company 1 within a few seconds.
