Subject: Man I miss Halo 3.

Guide to immortality : Sleep with Life

I had a pretty big time thread once.

Here's me bragging about it.

Yeah I know this thread is made everyday, but man those days before Reach were awesome. The journey to Recon, double xp weekends, the amazingly high population after 3 years... Halo 3 was just the best.

Like I said nothing new here... just was thinking about Halo again with 4 coming out so soon. This thread is just dedicated to the great days of Halo 3. Lets hope 4 returns to the good old days, even though it doesn't look great now.

Halo 3 will never die. There will be those, such as myself that will prefer Halo 3 over Halo 4. Halo 3 is still very much alive so why not play it?

It's just not the same...really mainly due to the low population, which is only gonna get lower with 4's release. I don't have the time in my day to sit in a lobby for 10 plus minutes. I will still prefer Halo 3 to every Halo forever, especially because of my doubts with Halo 4. It's just that not enough people feel the same way anymore.

I still play all the time. The population is high enough that you can find matches reasonable quick and its still a bunch of fun just like the old days

The population is still high enough to find games in certain playlists. It isn't dead or near death at all.

Trying to get Waypoint to update Halo 3 stats in detail like here. Now no one can see that my Halo 3 Spartan no longer looks like my Reach Spartan.

Really want to be a Heroic member or have a title. :/

The last time I played 3, yesterday, the population was 29000. I thats more then enough people to find players quickly. And if Reach didn't kill 3 then 4 won't.

The ingame population counter is bust and has been like that since the 2009 Xbox update.

It's still easy to notice that the only playable playlists at any given time is Team Slayer and Social Slayer. Most are dead, some are dead depending on what time it is.

Halo 4 is gonna kill Halo 3. Let's be honest. It's had a great run. Been in the top 20 since launch for xbl most active games. It's been slipping recently and when Halo 4 launches I expect most of the playlists to become unbearable to find games. :(

I sure hope you're wrong xD Not to be rude honestly. I'm legitimately afraid for Halo 4 though and the way I see it, I'm going to play it get sick of it and go back to 3 like I did with reach.

Is it? I shall remember that in future. I didn't mind playing FFA every now and again.

Yes. It's the only playlist I play. Hardly ever have trouble finding a game although, I probably will from here on in.

No, it still updates. The first time I came on in a while, the population was 18662. After a week, it changed to the 19000 something. After Hurricane Sandy and 343's system maintenance on the Halo servers, it was only 462. Then, as I said before, it was up in the 29000's again.

It only shows random numbers now. The counter is bust.

I played halo 3 right before halo 4 was released and got to relive some epic games. BTB and social slayer were both pretty full. The mayhem was really cool. I hope the population for the game continues to survive post Halo 4 now.

Halo 3 > Halo 4.

It's just not the same when bungie hasn't made it.

  • 11.06.2012 3:21 AM PDT

The population only updates once or twice a day, the numbers are still accurate the times aren't.

Guide to immortality : Sleep with Life

I had a pretty big time thread once.

Here's me bragging about it.

If Halo 3 had nearly 30,000 on a night wouldn't it be top 5 on the xbox live activity chart? I know the counter had been broken for some time, and I doubt 343 has taken the time to fix it.

Honestly after the Reach anomaly I'm glad Bungie is gone. I don't necessarily think Halo needed to be continued, but in this case I'm glad it wasn't Bungie who made it.

Don't know the exact amount needed. It has been in the top 20 since launch although it's been falling and fell to 20 a couple weeks ago.
