When did you ever see this number on a weekend - "243,756 Halo 2 Players (Last 24 Hours)" ???
This number used to be 300,000 - 400,000, before the update!!!!
THE NUMBERS SAYS IT ALL, BUNGIE LOST 20-35% OF ALL THEIR PLAYERS, WITH THIS UPDATE!!!![/quote]
Not necessarily. The solution is rather simple though. See, 6:00 AM PDT ain't exactly peak hours. And when you take the last 24 hours -- which would extend back towards 6 AM yesterday -- you would have only one period of Peak Hours(which would be around 6 PM) and two periods of "drought hours" Check again at around 5-6 PM PDT and you'll see the numbers around 400,000.

Halo 3 BETA
The thread creators argument holds no merit.
"5,959 Halo 3 Players (Last 24 Hours)"
Congratz, you just found 4% of the missing players!!
you are a moron arent you
read above. perhaps if you looked at all the peak times youd see the number rise and fall. regardless the game is old.
also for fun here is a list from Major Nelson, The live guy at Microsoft, it shows the most played games for the weekend on xbox and on 360
http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/05/12/xbox-live-activ ity-for-week-of-5-7.aspx
not halo2 is still the top played xbox 1 title.
also note that 246,000 is only 54,000 less than your bare min 300,000. Remembering last week had the spring update which did brick a few consoles, remember that Forza 2 Demo is out, Also remember that crackdown just got a bunch of new features. There was a lot to throw your gaming time into this past weekend.
It doesn't matther how much you twist and turn your explanation, the fact still remains...
Weekend 1 - unique players (330 000)
Weekend 2 - unique players (390 000)
Weekend 3 - unique players (360 000)
Weekend 4 - unique players (370 000)
Weekend 5 - unique players (340 000) (Halo 3 unique players (? ???))
Weekend 6 - unique players (350 000) (Halo 3 unique players (5 000))
Update occurs!!!
Weekend 7 - unique players (240 000) (Halo 3 unique players (5 000))
Weekend 5 - Well, lets see what will happen.......
