Can somebody explain how the population counter is broken? Everybody seems to say it is on here, but i have not seen one explanation as to how they know this or where they heard it from.

Same here, last night it was believable because it said that there were 404 people on SWAT and i actually was finding games quicker than usual

Whatever makes the counter tick is off sometimes. Been like this forever. Even back before Reach it would sometimes show 150k people in a DEXP playlist. Then the very next game it would go back to 30k people.

The only reason I've ever heard people say it was off? The population counter does not include people offline, in lobbies, in their own customs/campaign, or people searching for a match. It only counts people actually in a game.
