No way. Vegas will not over take COD4. I have so many friends that left Vegas for COD4 and will never go back because they love COD4 so much more. The Rainbow Six franchise has always had a following, but it's never seen the blockbuster universal appeal that Halo 3 and COD4 have. COD4 has sold more than 3 million copies in the US alone. Vegas 2 will maybe sell a million in the US.

You're missing my point. Vegas 2 will take away a chunk of CoD4 players who are playing the newest realistic shooter. I have a ton of casual gamer friends who jumped from Vegas to Halo 3 to CoD4 and will now jump to Vegas 2. The people who are still playing Halo 3 (which is about the same number as CoD4) will most likely not be jumping to Vegas 2 in the same numbers as CoD4 players will be, it's all a matter of taste, and those who like Halo's gameplay have nothing else like it.

My 2 cents. I don't think Vegas will dethrone COD, but it might take away enough players to give Halo3 the number one spot again.

Yeah Dustin, really. At least try it. Blockbuster, GameFly?

I'm the same way with regards to Prestige! I love it. The game is incredible. When halo 3 came out everyone on my friends list was playing it. Now hardly any do and nearly all of them have converted to COD4. COD4 is a force to be reckoned with and I think it will be for a long time. My sincere prediction is that it will remain at number 1 until Gears of War 2 comes out.

I'd agree that COD4 absolutely kills Halo 3's single player but the multiplayer is just more fun IMO in Halo 3. There are way too many snipers in COD4 and it's stupid that you get to choose your weapon from the get go. I like it better when everyone starts off with the same weapon and you have to earn a better one. Plus one shot body kills with a sniper rifle is lame. Lastly, vehicles just make online gaming so much more fun IMO. There's nothing better than carrying a battle rifle around until a Warthog tries to mow you down and then switch to your concealed rocket launcher so you can blast them half way across the map.

snipers only force you to be a counter sniper and flank them. the juggernaut perk helps against one shot snipers. holding your breath helps balance a sniper's accuracy vs. always being a straight shooter.

you can choose up to 5 custom weapon settings. Everyone starting with the same weapon is the #1 reason in everyone's kill count is so high with the assault rifle in H3. it makes for a more interesting battle when everyone comes in with their own "baby".

vehicles are cool in H3, but i much prefer CoD4's air strikes and focus more on the shooting.

also i feel like an actual soldier in CoD4 with only a few hits to kill, not a slow moving energy battery like H3.

I wish H3 had sprinting like CoD4 and the melee system with the combat knife. also i prefer Ltrigger for zooming and B button to lay down on the floor.

I play CoD4 because it's funner to kill, it's funner to customize and upgrade, and it's funner just to move around the environment. i love that sprint button to death.

*btw, why am I always replying to myself on this site? why can't i reply to the people who replied to me?

According to Team Xbox a patch for COD4 has been submitted to MS for review

You're an idiot.

no, these numbers for Halo 3 are all the players who were online in the past 24 hours. CoD4 is all who are currently online.

oh, and i responded to your reply back to me. i hate the way X3fanboy does their reply system. : (
