Nah the population will grow. People will be coming back, or logging in for the first time.

Forums tend to pick up ten fold when something big happens like a game release.

Man hunters are so overpowered in the lower brackets.

Lol I cancelled my account a week ago. WoW is so boring now. Do people still post about how warlocks need to be nerfed?

  • 04.30.2007 8:29 PM PDT

No.

I'm just judging on my past experience here, having been here for almost a year before Halo 2 released, but as the release date approaches, the population won't decrease as you predicted, but instead spike, and grow steadily and rapidly until critical mass of idiocy is reached. Believe me, it happened in 2004. B.net went from a relatively small population (relative to present population) to nearly doubling its numbers seemingly overnight. Unfortunately, increased population led to a decrease in overall intelligence : (. Here's hoping it won't happen again.

It has the word "Halo" in its title. That means an automatic campaign playthrough for me.

Given that there will be massive riots over the game, so I doubt that there will be many people on here.

but that's just a prediction.

I'm not that active, but never dead.

You say that as if it hasn't already happened.

I miss the days of 2003 when all there was to talk about was Halo Combat Evolved, and cool it was to not take the banshee on Attack on the Control room just to hear the cool music, "A Walk in the Woods."

I remember the horrors that were November and December 2004. I stopped visiting shortly after the beginning of 2005 because each visit here left my eyes bleeding and my brain beginning to hemorrhage. I can stand it now, though, so either my resistance went up or the post quality did.

Don't forget the completely idiotic threads, the completely idiotic theories, and the "put my idea in the game now" stuff.

  • 04.30.2007 9:11 PM PDT

A day or two after game release, people will be coming back on here in the masses screaming about this and complaining about that...

In my personal opinion, i belive that the forum population here will drop tremedusly at the release of the beta and even more so at the launch of the acctual game. Plus that little ticker that counts how many people are playing Halo 2 will be reduced to 7 :)


ONLY 18 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!

I will bet you money that amount of threads posted per hour will nearly double after Halo 3's release.

I doubt the beta will cause a drop in the amount of members that post on these forums. However, that number will not increase tremendously either. People are always joining this site, and once they learn that they can discuss the Halo 3 beta, more will have an incentive to join.

When the final product of Halo 3 is released, membership and activity will increase due the the fact that people will want to discuss the game. I do not believe though, that we will see as much of a boom as when Halo 2 was released.

The ticker that shows how many people are online in Halo 2 will most likely be changed to the amount of players online in Halo 3.

$50 bucks says there will be a swell on both the beta and release followed by a smooth, steady decline until we hear about new content, or something, in which the same thing will happen all over again.

It doesn't matter. Positive or negative response, the forum population will grow with members who either want to praise bungie for a job well done or to flame them for not meeting their criteria.
