Reach came out a few weeks ago,and not many people could preorder it.Alot of people also got dissapointed that reach doesn't have a doublexpweekend so that's why the go back to halo 3.Notice the players in halo 3 on weekends. THERE CRAZY! :P
Also people haven't made fun game modes cause it barely started.Wait about 5 months, then look at halo 3 population.

Yes. And the count has also been broken for the last few weeks. Halo: Reach has had more players in the last week than Halo 3 has had in the last month, and that is a fact that Bungie stated.
The counter is just off.

Nah, but no. The counter was jiggered (lol at another failure).

According to your logic, more than or almost everyone on xbox live was playing Halo 3. I believe that was a glitch.

The numbers were messed up. I played a full game of Invasion with zero players in the playlist. Yea. How did I match up against 11 other people, when nobody is in the playlist?

We fight for honor. We fight for glory. We fight for our brothers and our homeland. But most importantly......we SMASH. We are the ELITES THAT SMASH. Anyone can join, we have games, warfare, tournaments and more. We're always looking for new members, so stop on by.

People, why is it so hard to grasp that the counter isn't right? There has never been over 1,000,000 individual players on Halo 3 ever, and certainly not now after Reach has come out.

Fada beo Halo 2!

Well probably more people have halo 3 because Reach just came out. Some people are waiting for it to get cheaper such as myself, and some people don't have Xbox Live such as myself and aren't playing online. that would explain it if i'm right

Everyone keeps saying it's a glitch. I'm not buying it, for the past several days it shows more people playing Halo3.

  • 09.28.2010 9:56 PM PDT

Haha, I love how people think there are over 1,000,000 people on Halo 3 at all times. There has never been that many people on Halo 3 ever and you think after REACH comes out H3 has record breaking numbers? Please use your brain.
