Subject: Are we witnessing a Halo 3 revival?

Over the past 24 hours, Approximately 17% of online Halo players played Halo 3 instead of Halo Reach. Halo 3 Team Doubles had a population of over 1600 unique players at peak. Team Slayer had a population of over 4000 unique players at peak.

Halo 3:
Games (24h): 241,600
Players (24h): 142,155

Halo Reach:
Total Games Played (24h): 1,819,447
Total Players Online (24h): 805,108

Are we witnessing a revival of Halo 3? Playlists are getting stronger, Doubles, Slayer, Social and MLG are very active. Meanwhile, Halo Reach is suffering falling numbers at weekends. And Arena takes longer to match players than ranked Team Slayer/Doubles on Halo 3.

Very interesting...

EDIT: I probably need to put down the Jack Daniels and LRN 2 Maths to make things a little more accurate. But the truth still stands. Halo 3 is performing better now than it has done since the Halo Reach launch.

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

I really hope so. Reach is a fail.

  • 04.25.2011 2:03 PM PDT

I wish good people would leave.

You know, I wouldn't mind h3 population comming back. It would be nice to have more even matches in Team Slayer and Doubles. I may start playing again, Reach just isn't as fun :(

I had a feeling that Reach wouldn't last that long.

There's a pretty good population of gamers in Doubles/Slayer. I have been playing loads of matches the past week or so, and i have always matched new players with varied skill levels.

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


Top 1% Overall Player for H3 on Halocharts
50 Team Slayer Gen and BTB 5 Star

A ton of people still play Team Slayer 50 high, only maybe 2-3 minutes for me to find a game when I search.

I really hope it is. I went back to playing Reach yesterday and I couldn't stand it. I can't believe I never played Halo 3 until like a few weeks ago, it's better than Reach in every way, and I sure hope that its doing better.

Halo 3 is like Hugh Heffner and a middle-aged woman. First he enjoys her. Then he becomes comfortable with her. But then a younger woman comes along and he leaves her. After a while he decides to come back to the middle-aged woman but he discovers that not only has he already had everything she has to offer, but over time she has developed wrinkles, a wart and some wierd fungus under her fingernails.

The community has left Halo 3. It's dying, slowly but surely.

Everything on Bungie.net and on the playlists is proving you wrong right now. Halo 3 was practically dead when Halo Reach was released. It had around 2000 players online at any one time, and 60,000 players over 24 hours, at best. Now it has grown to almost 250,000 players in 24 hours at weekends. That's immense, even for newly released games. Playlist are working better now than they did at Christmas, and more people are populating ranked games.

Your theory that Halo 3 is dying couldn' be more wrong.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I hope so. It's a stretch, but hopefully people will realize how much of a better game Halo 3 is.

I would say it's in the early to mid stages but I will be correct. Look at COD4. MW2 was released, some of the hardcore kids stayed on 4. In fact there are still people on it now, but it's basically at the morgue.

Halo 3 is on it's way out, don't deny it. Also, the Heff is never wrong.

All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Believe me, I want this game to be revived. I just don't think it'll happen.

That would be cool. I play Reach more, but really I could play either.
