The game definitley isn't dead, not just yet. On weekends the traffic is usually pretty good. It's just annoying because people play Reach only because it's the "Latest" game. Certaintly not the greatest game. Atleast in Halo 3 you need skill to succeed. In Reach, after not playing for several months, in team slayer I got 38 kills, be the bullet, perfection, and around 20 headshots with a sniper. One game, and I got all that. That's pretty sad.
