So from the looks of all of the posts in this thread by our active members, compared to the vote in favor of Halo, we can thank all of our non active members for making our site as forgettable as every other 5000 sites that want to do a Reacharound.

It's nice to know that active posters have a voice that can be so easily drowned out by the douche bags that aren't even involved enough in the community aspect of XBA to make even one post or to introduce themselves.

I think that if someone has no posts in the forums, a poll that will reflect our community should not be open to that individual. Call me a xenophobe, but G4meS4vior#1inHA doesn't reflect the community on the same level that PureEvil x21, or even AJ, does.

well reading what you said i do some what agree i did sign up for this site and left if for a couple of days so i see what your saying. not sure whether or not the people that voted for reach were thinking this but halo's reach is more new and it produced a lot of hype and shadow run is old and lost some of its spark not saying anything bad about it I've never played it but Foreverdarkhalo has given me good comments about it. but i just hope this doesn't bring whats known as squeakers to XBA.

Exactly. I only have 300 posts, but at least I post a couple of times a day and have a decent log-in streak. No-offense to some people out there but it would be nice to have a playdate with people that actually participate on the site.

The fact of the matter is that this vote for a "Community" Playdate does not accurately reflect our online community and a lot of active members will most likely not want anything to do with a Halo playdate.

Not everyone loves ShadowRun though, so if that were to be the winner it still wouldnt be an accurate reflection. Because I can really only name a handful of people who play ShadowRun on a regular to semi regular basis whereas I can name a bunch more people that play Halo everyday. Right now it's not coming down to the fact that it doesnt matter if a person who spends very little time on the forums voted for Halo or not its just that people can't accept that the game they chose to put up against Halo in a playdate scenario isn't going to win because it's three years old.

I agree that not everyone loves Shadowrun and if you read through all the posts you'll see that most of, if not all, the people who voted for Shadowrun state that they we're just voting against Reach. That's why I posted before that this vote is totally bunk and should be started over to include one or two other games.

I voted for Shadowrun BECAUSE it isn't a Halo game. And BECAUSE it's older, which means everybody on the site should be able to afford it, instead of the $60 new release that not everyone will own. A lot of our members complained last year about MW2 as the chosen game because of budget issues, so why do it to them again? If not Shadowrun, why not another game? Something in the $10-$20 range that wont kill people to buy.

On top of that, look at all the issues we had with MW2, and 20 threads a day about it. An older game will still get threads made about it, but I doubt it would be as much as we will get for Halo Reach.

I'm just saying, it's not much of a COMMUNITY playdate if HALF the community wont be there for it....................

The only problem with Shadowrun, is that you don't know how many stores will actually have it, while Reach will obviously be at most-to-all stores that carries games. But, I do get your point with the budget issues, as I am getting Reach, but if Shadowrun ends up winning, i'll just end up picking it up from Gamestop or something.

Or we could do both. One now and the other down the road.

While I agree with this Evol, I also disagree. Now you say that there are obviously people who you don't consider to be a part of this community voting for Reach,what if though Meg and Maj Rule just showed up on the site and voted for ShadowRun? I can't remember the last time either of them came to the site and posted anything. To me they aren't considered any more part of this community than anyone that has voted for Reach and hasn't posted anything. So really, no matter what game if you pit something hugely popular like Halo against what is basically a game that has a cult following like ShadowRun, the more popular game will win nine times out of ten.

I know Meg and Maj don't really post here. I wasn't really counting them. I was more counting the people who posted in this thread, but I know they would likely show up to play if SR was picked.

It's like you get me, man... *sniffle*

I don't think the Community Playdate should be about how good or bad the game is. It should be about getting together with fellow XBAers and the Xbox community. I don't think we're going to need a Playdate to find an online game of Halo Reach. I just know that we will have an easier time getting people to pickup SR (I got my copy on Ebay for $7) than getting people to pay $60 for a game they really don't want.

exactly its simple....$7 or $60...........shadowrun it is............yyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy

Yeah, I don't really care for either game, but if I want to be part of this CPD, the $7 price tag is worth it to me. $60 is simply not.
