It will be a lot more once the PS3 version is out...is it the 24th yet?

$10 x 1 Million. ... Damn!

god damn it bring it back home to the PC! I want Carantan again!

I personally dont get nube tubed a whole lot (unless Im playing wet works)

And then April 29th came along and COD4 sessions went from the millions to the thousands overnight...

between CoD and GTA, I'm fairly certain my floating holidays will all be accounted for before 6/1.

... and unlike Halo 3, CoD4 deserves being #1. It's a well-engineered game that did not need massive hype in order to sell big numbers.

I haven't had too much time to play because of work and this being my final semester in college (bastard professors arent making it easy). But this map pack is a shining example of how games can be just as bad as crack. The weekends are the only time I can actually get some sleep as during the week I only get 3 hours max, but thanks to CoD I get less than that on the weekends. This lack of sleep makes me jittery since I'm all caffeinated at work . . . which makes my crack metaphor even more relevant

I like both Halo 3 and COD4, but I'm not really even considering buying either map pack right now. Basically MP only, 3 or 4 maps, not worth it for $10 to me.

Anyways, as long as games like COD4 are still bestsellers, gaming still has a chance. The game isn't a miracle, but it is good all around.

"with the two titles switching first and second place over the last couple months."

Really? A quick look at Major Nelson's Top 10 history shows CoD4 at #1 for the last 10 weeks. The last time the two traded places were within the first 3 weeks of January...!

Are people STILL talking about halo3? It's not a game, it's an online babysitter for 8 year olds. Or you can hit the single player and shoot some ewoks :D:D:D AWESOME!


On the upside at least a slick game like CoD4 is getting the press and profit, then we can all relax and pretend Halo ended after the first installment as it should have

I do wonder how many sales the last Halo 3 maps generated, but I know that it did not bring down marketplace like the COD4 maps.

"COD4 has been in a battle for Xbox Live supremacy against Halo 3, with the two titles switching first and second place over the last couple months."

I thought they switched places once, then COD4 gave Halo a severe pwning...

I hope other developers are paying attention to this. If you want to sell tons of units just make your game incredibly immersive and polished to a fine shine. The community at large will devour it.

I swear its only a map pack of 3 maps...I have still yet to play Killhouse...

Now wait a minute, let me defend halo3 for a minute. Yes, I agree that Halo3 got more hype than you can ever imagine, but honestly what else would anyone have microsoft do with their number one franchise? Yes, halo3 can be a playground for kids(cod4 isn't too far behind) but over looking that Halo3 has one hell of an online setup with excellenct gameplay which really set the standard for how online multiplayer games should be. Cod4 developers obviously took what was successfull with halo3 and other games and fine tuned it to their liking, so that being said alot of cod4's succes came from the success of how halo2 and halo3 multiplayer as well as other games were structured.

P.S. And just so everyone know, I have probably logged 6 times as many hours on cod4 vs halo3 and quite frankly people who play halo3 seem to take that game very serious for some odd reason where as cod4 is just fun all around even when getting pwned.

damn. i know Microsoft must be ecstatic right now considering they have a third party game on their console doing just as well as their first party cash cow. that is alot of money for them.

and its doing pretty good on PS3 too so everyone wins!

Why is it that with so many glaring flaws in the multiplayer aspect of this game (respawning on top of live grenades, enemies respawning behind you after killing them, respawning in somebody's crosshairs, hit detection issues, host migration, etc.) do we never hear about them? We only ever hear praise for this game, but a game like Halo 3, with significantly less fundamental flaws, get lambasted for every minor issue?

Impressive... if not surprising.

Same here. I have yet to play the level in the shipping yard either. How do you get these 2 maps to show up?

COD4 is the probably the best online MP I've played since owning the original Xbox and the 360, Halo 2 being a close #2, GOW probably #3. I happily dropped my $12.50 for the new maps without hesitation.

I hope other developers realize how successful a quality product can be and try and duplicate there success.

Why bash Halo 3 this topic has nothing to do with it? Also I wouldn't be surprised if this was a lie when Infinity Ward sold 150 million copies they said it was a record when Halo 3 had obviously had 300 million copies sold which bungie never even confirmed sales did. So i wouldn't be overly surprised if this is all a hoax.
