Subject: Halo 3 MM Population Drop?

My future is certain, I will one day fly away. All because I am saved from the penalty of sin. I know he lives.

What do you think will happen to the H3 MM population after the start of the Reach MM Beta?

Of course there are several other questions to be asked:
How long will the Beta last?
Will the be a limit to how many matches one can play?

I think the H3 will sharply decline, then recover after the beta is over, and depending on on the popularity of Halo Reach, (My guess is a complete success), will fade into the dark dusty corner of the entertainment center.

What do you think?

Same thing happened to Halo 2 during the Halo 3 Beta, it went down, then came back up.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I imagine that when ODST is released, the total Halo 3 populatio and more will be on Firefight.

I imagine you can only play firefight for so long before it gets old and the fact that odst comes with three new maps makes me think that the population won't be down for long

Well, the people who didn't buy Reach will still be on Halo 3 MM (providing they actually bought and play on Halo 3, also) probably. I think it will occasianally rise sometimes to bring back memories.

Hello! I'm a male!

The population will drop from ODST release because everyone will want to play firefight then when halo reach beta comes they will drop in both for like 6months then go back up then halo reach comes out and blam just like the thing from halo2 to halo3 alot lower but still some there just for acheivments or finally for fun not cheating and being way to seriouse over the game =) ik i'll play halo3 matchmakeing 4ever!

Don't ignore the fact that there are still plenty of people playing Halo 2! Halo 3 will be around for many more years, yes it dwindle in popularity but people will still keep playing for a bunch of reasons.

I agree that people will still play Halo 3 MM, probably for the same reason once a month, I play a mission of Halo 1. But i think that Bunige (and i am not saying this in a negative way) might have doomed MM. Releasing so many new shinny things to greedy little grubbers at once can't be to healthy. I know that I will always make a few minuets for the Good Old MM. But Depenting on MM on Reach, Halo 3 MM might just get the wind knocked out of it.
