We're still not sure what's going on here. Raiden got a big release a
few months ago and Kain is an unknown quantity. At least give Sonic a
chance to humiliate himself before throwing in the towel, jeez! --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/16hnm05.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

I've still got him going further than he should. I'm pretty confident
once he gets to Sephiroth... if he does..., he won't be taking 2nd as I
thought he would, unless Auron manages to beat Sonic before then of
course, then he still could. --- :> |

Raiden is about where we expected him, and Layton isn't too off where I
expected him, so its all Kain thats taking the percentage that I
thought Chief would get. If Kain really IS the strongest 2D final
fantaxy characer, maybe he's not jobbing as much as I thought... but
still, Raiden shouldnt be this close to him regardless. --- Albion Hero http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

I'm not throwing in the towel yet (on MC
> Sonic, that is). This is basically a four pack of unknowns with
Raiden's boost being unknown. But certainly you won't see me flaunting the pick. --- Master Chief's quest to defeat Cloud: Round 1 - Raiden/Kain/Other Dude. Target: 48%. GAME FUEL. Believe |

Layton's actually a NN-breaker and Kain/Raiden/Chief would all triple Link. imo --- CB7 Score: 78/100 http://www.rosebride.com/lyn/otakon2k6/chronotrigger.jpg || http://64.81.113.250/a-kon-12/000177.jpg |

Problem with Kain is since he's not advancing, we won't know for a
while how much of an effect he had on this match. If hes for real or if
its just MC's weakness, so here comes almost a month of debate about it

Isn't "Highwind" a name used often in the FF universe? How likely is it
that Kain could be picking up some sorta "Final Fantasy General" votes
for flaunting that name? Also, just how stupid was my last question? --- Yoblazer: http://i33.tinypic.com/16hnm05.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! |

| That might be a fair assumption, yoblazer, considering our voter base is full of illiterate idiots who just voted for Solid Snake last round, Highwind getting OMG FINAL FANTASY votes isn't too far off. |

Kain is pretty much the REASON for OMG DRAGOON votes to exist in the

Kain is not Vivi... dragoon is not a very popular class in Final Fantasy. That's hardly comparable. I believe in the pic factor. But if you're asking me if I believe if people vote for Kain because of his last name being the same as a FF7 character and an airship or if half of Big Boss' voters honestly thought he was Snake... then no, no I do not. --- :> |

I must be one of the only few who saw this coming. Halo 3 was considered a disappointment by almost every 360 owner. I don't care how many millions it sold, the game is Halo 2.5 and lots of people stopped playing it when CoD4 came out. Chief was riding the hype last year and got a release (the biggest in history at the time) mid-contest. Halo and Master Chief are no longer the "face of the Xbox", the 360 has tons of great games and many consider Halo to not even be among the top 5 shooters on the system. He does benefit from the format, the increased Xbox fanbase on the site and practically being SFF proof so he should still take the division but Chief>Sonic just ain't gonna happen. --- Go Ducks Go! http://img.imgcake.com/fallout_3.jpg |

But he isn't the sole face anymore, I wouldn't be surprised if Marcus
became the "new" face since that series is just beginning and we won't
be seeing Master Chief in a Halo game, well, ever again. --- Go Ducks Go! http://img.imgcake.com/fallout_3.jpg |

pssh, Halo 3 was loads better than that piece of **** Halo 2, and I enjoyed it even more than the first. I mean yeah, it's a bleh game overall imo, but still, I wouldn't say it was a disappointment. Tons of people were happy with it and still play it. so it's old and not the " 360 shooter of the month" anymore, chief doesn't care and you're all in for something in the later rounds believe --- Moltar Status: augh Kain/MC/Layton/Raiden - Bracket: MC > Raiden - Vote: Raiden (77/100) |

MyWorldIsCrono (#175) That doesn't mean much, Gears is a 360/Microsoft exclusive series and Microsoft is relying on Gears 2 to push the 360's sales this holiday. Besides, Microsoft doesn't own Bungie anymore, they're third party too. --- Go Ducks Go! http://img.imgcake.com/fallout_3.jpg |

Halo 3 may be the best feauture-wise but considering how much hype it
had, I know that I, and MANY others, were disappointed with Halo 3.
Don't kid yourself, the game is Halo 2.5. The gameplay is identical to
the second (the 50 new gimmicky weapons they added add nothing), the
campaign was like 6 hours long and was anything but epic. 1>2>3 --- Go Ducks Go! http://img.imgcake.com/fallout_3.jpg |

Doesn't change the fact that it solid like crazy and was generally very
well liked outside of a vocal minority. Just because Call of Duty 4 was
BETTER, doesn't mean Halo 3 wasn't a great game in its own right. --- Albion Hero http://card.mygamercard.net/geothermal/Albion+Hero.png |

well considering i only played through halo 2's campaign once and never
touched it again, yet at least played through 3's campaign a couple
times, that .5 upgrade made the game a hell of a lot better to me online is fun with friends but is ridiculously skewed and frustrating when playing alone it's a flawed game, i agree, but i had fun with it and overall i was not disappointed --- Moltar Status: augh Kain/MC/Layton/Raiden - Bracket: MC > Raiden - Vote: Raiden (77/100) |

Sales don't mean squat. If people buy the game and are disappointed
then they won't vote for the character/game (See Niko and GTAIV). And it's not a vocal minority, almost everyone I know was disappointed. People on this site, my casual gaming friends and many hardcore players thought Halo 3 was a big let down. --- Go Ducks Go! http://img.imgcake.com/fallout_3.jpg |

Halo is owned by MS though unlike GoW. They have rights to the first 2
Gears. Dont be surprised to see Gears 3 go to PS3 as well. Also you are a fool if you think Chief isnt gonna be in anymore games. You dont think Halo 4 is coming? XD --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Annoying posters! I am the great wavedash! |

I'm not saying Halo 3 is a bad game but people were hyped about it so
much last year so everyone voted for him. However, a good percentage of
people were disappointed with the game and won't be voting for him this
year, simple as that. --- Go Ducks Go! http://img.imgcake.com/fallout_3.jpg |

Halo 4 is coming, I never said it wasn't. It won't be starring Chief
however, just like the upcoming Halo 3 expansion. Bungie said that his
story arch is done and they want to move on. --- Go Ducks Go! http://img.imgcake.com/fallout_3.jpg |

The whole reason they had that cliffhanger at the end was to get MC
into another game. He is too marketable. Its like saying if we got
Super Luigi Galaxy as a stand alone game with no Mario, then concluding
that we wont see another platformer with Mario Why do think the ODST in Recon looks so much like MC? --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Annoying posters! I am the great wavedash! |

Because they arent. A bunch of the team left Bungie to be part of the
Halo team. Bungie broke off to get away from Halo. After Recon I assume
they will move on. Regardless Spartans are gonna appear in Halo Wars
and are a safe bet to appear in Chronicles as well. I wouldnt be
surprised to see them in Recon either. --- Our shields cannot withstand wavedashing of this magnitude! Annoying posters! I am the great wavedash! |

Bungie broke off from Microsoft because they put way too much pressure
on them with deadlines and stuff which Bungie hated. Bungie has said
that they will probably develop more Halo games in the future besides
Recon. Spartans will appear in future games but you won't be playing as
M.C. --- Go Ducks Go! http://img.imgcake.com/fallout_3.jpg |
