GameFAQs Contests

Halos second best time is the Power hour, after ASV typically if you look at Chief and Halo 1.

Halo cut over 2000 off Diablo from a 4000 deficit while in with another XBOX game and another decent day vote game (GTA). WoW won't get as much as Diablo II did and Halo will do much better with the day vote since it gets it all to itself. However, it is a fact that Halo 2 is going to have to stall WoW better overnight. Right now I am not impressed.

Don't really buy WoW doing great in Europe based on that Hogger poll, but it should be comfortably above Halo there at least.

I really don't know to expect from Europe when it comes to WoW. When games do bad in Europe, it's because of the UK since they are contributing about 40% of all the Europeans. The mainland European countries (Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, etc) generally seem to have a different gaming taste than the UK. A good example is Mega Man 2: 19.86% in the UK, 38.33% in the Netherlands, 47.86% in Germany, 26.67% in Italy, 56.84% in Finland, 60.90% in Sweden

Mega Man 2 did worst in the UK, did slightly bad in Italy, great performance in Germany, and godly performances in Finland and Sweden.

Though on the subject of WoW, here was how our other two Blizzard PC games did in various European countries:

Starcraft: 12.61% in the UK, 23.18% in the Netherlands, 23.74% in Germany, 14.69% in Italy, 25.63% in Finland, 40.17% in Sweden
Diablo II: 14.24% in the UK, 28.04% in the Netherlands, 42.87% in Germany, 35.86% in Italy, 35.34% in Finland, 40.65% in Sweden

Both of our other Blizzard PC games sucked in the UK, but they don't suck in most of the remaining parts of Europe. Starcraft sucked pretty badly in Italy, for unknown reasons. Starcraft did decent in the Netherlands, Germany, and Finland, but won first place in Sweden. Diablo II was around average in the Netherlands, but did great in Germany, Italy, Finland, and Sweden. Not sure how WoW will play out in the UK.

You'll need to. I, Hochiminh, am declaring a state of emergency in regards to the chances World of Warcraft has of winning.

Albion's rallies are no better than anyone else's so whether or not he rallies doesn't matter. Especially if the site he intends on rallying on already has rallies.

Plus, just going by trends, WoW should easily beat Halo 2 even withotu rallies. It should be up a couple thousand by the time the morning hits (especially with the longer night vote due to saturday)

Halo 2 has actually gained a tiny bit since the Power Hour ended, while Halo 1 dropped significantly. There's no way those games have differing trends, so I'd chalk this up to a more drawn out early vote thanks to the weekend.

The day vote becomes a morning vote stretched to the afternoon. Halo 2's gains will be smaller than Halo's, but they'll still exist.

World of Warcraft should still be the favorite even it falls below 50% in the projection (and of course, it has different trends than Diablo does). I'll grant it the ability to rally 2000 votes if needed in the final hours, what Starcraft demonstrated in 2004. The ceiling for rallying is higher, of course.

WoW likely has a better ASV then Diablo too, since its a popular casual game that many kids play.

WoW should be the favourite though at this rate I can see Halo 2 leading at some point in this match.
