Is there any way it could happen to reach 100k-200k again?
The only way is if halo 4 sucked completely what do you think?
Its only a dream...that will probably never ever come true!(hopefully it will)!

What?

I doubt it. The fanbase it has now will probably stick around for several more years, but I don't think the game is ever coming back. It sucks, but it's what happens.

No. It's sad, but like Director said, that's what happens. I hope that the fans still stick around after Halo 4 is released, because I didn't preorder the game, and I don't have Halo: Reach. :S

There is no way in hell Halo 3 will ever Reach 100k. I can tell you that it probably barely Reach's 30,000 players. Even if Halo 4 is a failure, people won't come back to Halo 3. They will play another game they like.

Halo 3s time is over.


Also, you've just started playing Halo 3 so I can see why you want more people playing it.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

I'm sorry America is busy helping others in the world and actually making a difference.

Something Canada will never do.

Yes when the new consoles ship 2014/2015, 360 servers may get shut down as the original Xbox servers did. To allow the new live servers to have optimal speed and latency. There for all the Halo fanatics will be forced to link up and support the greatest game to ever release on the 2nd gen consoles.

nope and even if halo 4 did suck people would just play reach

Yes, the population hit 1.2 million the first weekend after release. I also remember the early DEXP playlists, like SWAT, having 200,000 players. Good times.

There is no way it will ever approach the numbers it had before Reach. It will actually continue to decrease.

Yeah it never will again but at least for some of us that have been there since day 1 we know how awesome it once was. Like you said, you could find games in double exp playlists in like 10 seconds because of all the people playing them

No, it won't many people will be playing other games like Halo 4, Call of Duty, Battlefield 3 and all that jazz, back in the day a majority of my friends list played on Halo, not anymore.

Unless the servers for Halo 3 are going to be shut off at a an announced date in the future (like what happened to Halo 2), I'm certain that Halo 3 will never become populated/popular like it was in 2009 or 2010.
