Before Reach came out it was around 100-200k and then down to 30k after Reach and now its over a million?...Hmmmmmm

I doubt those are actual figures. The servers are probably screwed up again.

was thinking the same thing. It's faster finding games too so i dont think it's just messed up numbers

There is some sort of glitch. There has never been anywhere near 1 million concurrent players on Halo 3. Not even Reach hit 1 million.

add me if you need ODST Firefight achievements

Hmm, quite a lot of people now can't play reach, despite having perfect discs and faultless xbox's (Me) so are back on halo 3 instead.

Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach!

i think its because people are going for the achievements so they can get armor permutations in reach

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

The servers are messed up. Blame Stosh.

At least there are over 9000.

  • 09.26.2010 12:48 PM PDT

My reach said that there was around 5000 players on reach and I thought wtf?

Mine said 431 players. Halo 3 is making a comeback.

It only takes a simple question to change everything.

No it's a glitch in the servers earlier it said there was only 8 people playing invasion and invasion has 12 people in it and I could still find a match.

May the best of your todays, be the worst of your tomorrows.

I heard from multiple sources that the Halo 3 Matchmaking servers had shut down so I have just been playing Reach. But I wanted to play Halo 3 for a while now because I want to shake things up. So we CAN in fact use Halo 3 Matchmaking? Awesome.

Why hello there.

There isn't. Its a glitch. There is really only 4000 people playing Halo3. And more than a million playing Reach.

  • 09.26.2010 10:28 PM PDT

Why the hell did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

after they fixed there numbers and everything is back to normal as it is now. i decided to put halo 3 in and it said 1 million were playing and i played swat and there were 40,000 playig and it took 20 secs to find agame

that is incorrect, the first weekend halo 3 came out there were 1.3 million people, i rememebr. reach never hit that many cuz the game is not up to par with CoD anymore IMO

  • 09.29.2010 1:02 PM PDT

its a glitch..like everyone else said. and it is definitely BETTER than cod.

  • 09.29.2010 1:57 PM PDT

Estis, ergo sum.

Mine is still reading over a million. Lol. I've actually gone back to Halo 3 since in general I like the matchmaking setup better than Reach right now.
