Subject: What will the population of Halo 3 be on Day 1 of Reach?

About me: I am a vicious wolf of a man.

But really am sweet at heart. =)

I tried this yesterday...forgot the Halo 3 part.

I'm guessing there will be less than 100 people playing Halo 3 the day after Reach comes out. the most popular playlist will be Social Slayer as always, with maybe 50 people.

What do you think?

there is going to be way way way more than that, i mean, thousands of people still play CoD 4 and CoD 5 on the 360, right?

anyway, halo 3 is and forever will be a classic.

I'm JP, and I am a nine month veteran of the Dropshock Brigade. My interests are not only in gaming but sports and hobbies such as football, hockey, airsoft, and baseball. I started playing Halo when I was four years old, and I hoping that Halo 4 will become a great game and successor to the previous halos.

Maybe like 500-1000 players at the most. And Social Playlists that do not need the DLC will be taking over by the remaining players, maybe 20-30 people will play ranked.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

As you waste your breath complaining about life, Someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

Im not sure about how many people will be online after reach is released because alot of people go back and play old games but i wonder how many will be playing halo 3 the second reach is released and throughout the enitre first day of its release. Maybe after a few days there will be people playing halo 3 again but when reach first hits, i imagine the number of halo 3 players online at that time to be very low.

Never ague with an idiot, they will just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Better luck next time buddy.

I don't know, I expect no less than 10 thousands of people.

  • 08.19.2010 9:21 AM PDT

meh.

It's not like the jump from Halo 2 to Halo 3 where not everyone had an xbox 360, everyone already has one and I imagine that tons of people will migrate over, leaving an extremely small amount of people left.

Not in my opinion, considering the first two Halo games had superior multi player.

And there will be way more than 100 players, but way less than there are currently. I would expect H3 to lose at least 3/5ths of it's population.

Three square meals and Halo 3!

lmgtfy.com is that site that does google for you! OMG!

>>>>>BUNGIE IS NOT MAKING ANY GAMETYPE SPECIFIC PLAYLISTS UNTIL A WHILE AFTER REACH IS OUT!!!<<<<<

^^^For your Copying and Pasting pleasure. =]

I think it will be around 65,000

Reach is waaaayyyy more casual than Halo 3 and, until Reach MLG and Reach Snipers come out, I'll still be playing Halo 3 Snipers and MLG...

I can't wait to see Reach come out, because those Halo 3 playlists' populations will explode! =]

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.

I believe Halo 3 will still have a strong population....

  • 08.19.2010 10:47 AM PDT

no less than 10 000, no more than 30 000 on the first day. After about a few weeks or so of reach, i would expect a contant 40 000-60 000

  • 08.19.2010 10:52 AM PDT

Ill be beasting it up as normal.

  • 08.19.2010 11:02 AM PDT

um.... there will probably be more than just 500-2000. I'm saying maybe like 100,000 at most. Just because a huge game like Halo Reach is coming out dosent mean that Halo 3 will be completely abandoned.

It's true that Reach's default slayer will be pretty much for casuals but Bungie will never leave their competitive population behind.

Halo Reach has less aim assist and the arena has snipers as a playlist :D

  • 08.19.2010 11:22 AM PDT

Maybe 10,000+

CoD4 has at least 15,000 people playing during the times that I play it

100000?

Lol, no. I highly doubt Reach's release will cause H3's population to increase.

  • 08.19.2010 11:33 AM PDT

i'd love to find out but i'd be wasting precious reach playtime lol

someone make a thread on the day so you can inform people like me :)
