Subject: Will Halo 3's Population continue to increase and Stabilize?

You are now reading my signature, the following proceeds as the amazing group i am in and the best person in Bungie.net who i am not stalking at al... >.>

The Reach Asset

Xhavalor is amazing <3

It will probably increase but not by much. If people stop playing Reach it's more likely they will move on to a new game. Halo 3 is like what, 4 years old now?

I say hell yeah because halo 3 has great maps a great story and great armor.

  • 05.03.2011 4:08 PM PDT

Yeah, reach is so fking -blam!-, with all those armor lock,sprint,jet pack,etc,

Halo3>Halo Reach

Miss those custom game infections and such.

I think not

I still play in the social playlists a lot. I never seem to have trouble finding matches which is good. Kinda miss the old BTB though, it's seems like you get really lopsided matches in there now.

in halo 3 i either lag a lot or i dont lag at all. i would play more halo 3 if something was done with my lag but as for now im sticking to reach

As much as I'd like it to increase, it's going to take a bit of attention from Bungie to attract people back. A new map? Anything really but I can't see it happening.

H3 is the old toy kicked under the bed.

Sad face.

The player count you see in Halo 3 is how many people were playing in the past 24 hours, that not how many people are currently online.


I think it's each individual that is on at that moment. Once Reach hit the 360, the population view count converted from a 24-hour thing to instantaneous player count

That's Reach only. Halo 3 doesn't have as advanced tracking so the counter it uses is in 24 hours.

I think the Halo 3 player count in-game is broken.

  • 06.28.2011 2:19 AM PDT

I play both games.

I can find matches on both games fine, so it doesn't really matter to me.

  • 06.28.2011 2:56 AM PDT

Which playlists/game types are the most active these days? I played Halo 3 matchmaking yesterday to brush up on it a bit and most of the ones I tried had less that a thousand people and it took forever to find a match.

WAR IS INFINITE PEOPLE TO FIGHT THEM ARE NOT

Its good to see people playing h3 again

  • 06.28.2011 5:28 AM PDT

You can add one more person to that list because as soon as I get my paycheck, that's what I'm going to buy. That, and some other things, like ODST and Wars.

I'm not making excuses. I never claimed to be good. I have never played any colonel better than me though.

Stop bumping your thread nerd. You've bumped it twice already, no one cares.

I have played on every button layout for Halo 3 in matchmaking.
It changes with my mood.

Reach is just straight up dog -blam!-.

I will not claim to be good at Halo. I am not the first and probably not the last.

It'll stabilize. Increasing? Maybe if there was a reason to get them to come back. Most just flock to the newest game.

  • 07.11.2011 7:10 PM PDT

I hope so.
I'm planning to get back into Halo 3 sometime this month. :)

I sold Reach a long time ago (a week or two after its release, I think), and I didn't regret it. The game made me so angry with Bungie, that I sold Halo 3: ODST along with it. Reach's campaign was the worst out of all the Halo games. I didn't give a damn about the stupid characters (Kat's death was so stupid and hilarious). It also seems like the map designer(s)/level designer(s)(or whoever made the maps/levels) changed or just gave up because the maps for both multiplayer and single player were weak. The armor abilities ruined the matchmaking, and custom games didn't feel nearly as fun with limited options compared to Halo 3. Forgeworld was pretty lame, too. I'll just stop rambling now and get to the point.

I bought Halo 3: ODST and Halo 3 again, and I am far from disappointed in my repurchases. I played the multiplayer the entire weekend and was unable to stop. I feel it is far superior. The campaign was decent enough, and the multiplayer is amazing (as it has been since 2007). Of course, you get the occasional cheap -blam!-s and horrid host connections, but it is worth enduring rather than playing a boring, lacking match of Halo: Reach's multiplayer. I wish Bungie, or whoever, would pay attention to this game a little and stop acting like it was made 20 decades ago. I understand Reach is a priority, but Halo 3 is still pretty damn popular, so a minor playlist update/change once in a while, or maybe even a small patch for some multiplayer issues would be nice...

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

With Halo reach here I think the total players on Halo 3 is going to go down slowly.
