Xbox Gamer Research Shows Gamers Hail Call of Duty and Berate Halo 4

A UK money saving site has compared the first 24 hours of site search data from when both Halo 4 and Call of Duty Black Ops 2 were released, and found that CoD2 has had 4 times the number of searches on-site compared to its opponent.

In addition to dominating the search volumes, a flash poll of 1,115 Xbox gamers from VoucherCodesPro.co.uk also found that 39% of Halo 4 players were ‘disappointed’ with the new game; compared to just 9% of Call of Duty Black Ops 2 players asked the same question.

When asked why they were disappointed with the new games; 48% of Halo 4 gamers said they felt it was not ‘challenging enough’, with 19% saying it did not live up to the pre-launch hype and 16% saying that it did not represent good value for money.

In contrast, the majority, 61%, of those who were ‘disappointed’ with the new Call of Duty game explained that they felt the game was ‘too similar’ to others in the franchise. A quarter, 23%, were disappointed with the graphics of the game.

Two fifths, 42%, of the Xbox owners taking part admitted that the Halo series was a big reason for purchasing their Xbox 360 in the first place. 26% of those taking part also owned a PS3.

Speaking about the results, George Charles, Marketing Manager from VoucherCodesPro.co.uk , said:

“We all know that the gaming community does not hold back when it comes to voicing opinions, but we were certainly surprised at the clear disappointment about the newly launched Halo 4 from gamers”.

He continued:

“Searches for the two games certainly dominated search volumes on our site on their respective launch days, but once again, the Call of Duty gaming franchise has come up trumps”.
