The numbers clearly refers to saturday!

It's sunday morning now and the numbers begins to count 24 hours back in time up to now. Your not out on saturday night to buy gifts, so I guess this doesn't explain why this saturday got 20-35% lower numbers!

Um, yes, it does. You might be out to get gifts. Maybe you're spending the entire weekend with your mother, not just Sunday.

Wow, it never used to be high. Except when the game came out. Usually you'll find Halo 2 players at 30,00 to 70,000. So unless you mean in past 24 hr, it's not much of a drop, it can go back up anytime. And some of those people are probably playing Halo 3, the update is not the problem. It's been like that during the whole 2007.

Stop making facts up. The update isn't even that bad.

Simple some of us are being forced to buy a new map pack just so we can keep playing. Some of us don't even want them!!! We would rather be fine without them. Yet because we can't play now(myself included) most have left to other games(most went to GOW)

Good point, but it was the same yesterday. So what the Halo 2 population is dropping? There will ALWAYS be people playing Halo 2. Always.

Jump feet first into Hell in ODST Recon, THE place to be on B.net!
"Fifty years from now, when you're looking back on your life, don't you want to be able to say that you had the courage to get in the car?"

That still means that there were almost a quarter-million people playing Halo in the last 24 hours. The numbers may be lower than they used to be, but they still beat almost any other game out there in the amount of people playing. I'd like someone to find another multiplayer game that is a couple years old and still has a quarter million people playing it every day. Halo 2 is far from dead.

I just love how us Americans have to complain about everything. First, we complain because the update hasn't been implemented, and when it is, we complain about it.

Just live with it, the damn maps are free in a month or so, so just dish out 4 bucks and get them. ITS NOT THAT HARD. Ok, so you don't get your Big Mac, go out and MAKE yourself some food and give your mom a break. its mothers day. While you're at it, go out and go to hte park. Who knows how long its been since you've seen sunlight.

The update was issued because Bungie knew their would be a huge drop in play usage as soon as summer began!! Despite what people think play list usage drops during the summer months it does not go up! Removing playlists during the summer months is necessary to combat this sudden drop in usage. Plus many people will be playing the BETA in the next few days so expect that number to drop by another 50,000 or so. In other words THANK YOU BUNGIE for having the insight to consolidate the playlist just in time for summer and the Beta.

AzPaTriX you are a moron. Oh and didn't you post that you weren't going to post on these forums anymore?
"Go right ahead and ban me if you like, it not very likely I'll ever return to thise game or theese forums anymore."

So now your a lying sack of -blam!- and a moron.

I just love how foreigners try to act like they know what the hell they are talking about. 95% of the people who say they are pissed about the update aren't pissed because they don't want to pay. They are pissed because most people cant download the new maps because bungie refuses to get their -blam!- together.And FYI you're on the same -blam!- forum buddy so you obviously are just the same as us

wow buddy, you really know how to read. If you actually read my post instead of immediately criticizing it, then you would know that I'm an American. Not a foreigner.

And i'm not in the same boat as you. I have the maps, i forked out 4 bucks, i had the "installation error" that most people had, but i waited it out, and i have the maps. I even had to re-download them because of cheaters that exploited the maps. just because i'm here doesn't mean i'm playing. Theres a new thing called Wireless Networking and Laptops... Maybe you've heard of it.

Next time, look before you leap.

i think there is a drop because of the halo 3 beta

  • 05.13.2007 1:56 PM PDT

Yeah I personally can only play Team hardcore on my 360 so I don't really play much especially with Halo 3 coming.
