You can't force fun, or community or engagement.
You don't just build Halo 2 and a rabid player base. It just happens. It's a lightning strike. It happens organically.
Make your game fun first. Keep the price reasonable. People will play, they'll get their friends to play. That's the best you can do.
I wish Marathon the best of luck, because that is what it mostly comes down to.
