Um, I never said Halo 3 was perfect, not even slightly
It has its flaws but I still find it an enjoyable game.
The point is that if traditional Halo would achieve top ranking on XBL, then why isn't it doing that right now? Of course you could say it's because of Halo Reach being the newer game, but isn't this concept disproved by CoD's example?
