Subject: What happened to Reach's population?

It says there are only 23k players on. Usually around this time there are 100k players.

It's not popular. Never was.

Now that you mention that I'd like to point out that last night at 1 am halo 3 had a population of 25k. Says a lot about the quality of Reach :p.

Halo 3s population counter is glitched/bugged/whatever you want to call it.

Nobody knows what the rule population is.

Always up for REACH customs!

It shows that Reach is two years old and has heavy competition from half a dozen other very good titles. Grow up.

... It's still number 5 on the XBL activity chart. So... you're wrong.

Also, it's kicking Halo 3's ass.

So a sequel ends up more populated than its predecessor? No way!/sarcasm

A quick look at the chart and its history showed Halo 3 stood its ground against every new COD/Gears of War/ect. thrown at it. Reach flipped like a piece of paper the first COD game released after its release.

Halo: Reach is utterly destroying Halo 3 right now. Your pathetic attempts at sarcasm (protip: if you have to say 'sarcasm' in there, you're doing it wrong) don't change the facts.

And oh- look at this. These games all come out and Halo 3 is crushed. Now not only are all these new games crushing it, but so is Halo: Reach! Since the numbers are the important thing, that means Halo: Reach is better. This is a fact by your logic. Suck it up.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

oh gee, a 2yearold game is more popular than it's 5yearold predecessor


alert the presses, clearly this means reach is the greatest game on earth



it's funny because 2years after halo 3 came out there were still hundreds of thousands of people on at almost any given time, but 2 years after reaches release with even more members on XBL it struggles to break 50k.

And all the games that are ahead of Halo: Reach came out after it as well. So either Halo: Reach is a far superior game to Halo 3, or we can say Halo: Reach is the best game out there but it's just because newer games (and newer styles of games rather than the Halo we've had for almost 11 years) have been released. Your pick Mr. Logic.

And Halo 3 wasn't up against these games that are beating Halo: Reach. But look at this- as soon as these other games come out they're ahead of Halo 3! Clearly this means Halo 3 is not as good as any of these other games, including Halo: Reach.

Jesus -blam!- you kids are thick sometimes.

Anything that is ranked higher than Reach is there because Reach is a -blam!- game.

Anything ranked higher than Halo 3 is there because Halo 3 is 5 years old.

It's obviously flawless logic.

Sorry kid but I can't let personal feelings interfere with the facts. All these games are killing Halo 3. Therefore Halo 3 is a worse game. If you're saying it's because it's older, then since all the games above Halo: Reach are newer than it that is the reason for that.

These are the simple facts. You'll need to get used to them. It's part of growing up- living with facts you don't like.

Reach is some three years younger than Halo 3.

Halo 3 pulls the same population at times as Reach.

Reach is something like number seven or eight most played.

Halo 3 is something like number 10.

Therefore Reach is trash.

Halo 3 had to deal with games like CoD 4. Battlefield. Forza and so on. Yet it remained number one for two years or so.

Reach has no excuse. The fact that it's only number one for one month is a testament to it's inferiority to Halo 3.

Halo: Reach is five. Halo 3 is twelve. Halo: Reach is beating Halo 3 by a mile.

Halo 3 is older than Halo: Reach. Halo: Reach is older than every game in front of it.

Therefore Halo: Reach is better than Halo 3.

Halo 3 was older than games behind it when it was out, yet it was number one. Your logic is flawed.
