Subject: One final Halo: Reach population thread.

ATTENTION MODERATORS. My latest ban (14-day ban from Qbix89) is not legitimate, take a look for yourself. Please review this before considering me a "repeat offender". Thank you.

Despite this forum's activity having diminished, I feel like I'm obligated to make this one, final Halo: Reach population statistic thread.

Note: This thread correlates with the following threads:
November will signal death.
Halo: Reach is now #4
Halo: Reach is now #5.
Halo: Reach is now #6.
Halo: Reach is now #8.
Halo: Reach is now #7.

According to Major Nelson's blog, Halo: Reach is now (or at least for the week of October 15th) number six on the Xbox Live game population leaderboards.

Here are a number of links to previously posted LIVE Activity posts from Major Nelson's blog:
September 17th - Halo: Reach is number 7
August 27th - Halo: Reach is number 5
August 13th - Halo: Reach is number 5
July 23rd - Halo: Reach is number 5

The list goes on, with Halo: Reach switching between places five and six.

One thing to note about this latest, specific LIVE Activity post on Major Nelson's blog is that Halo 3 is number twenty (20) on the charts, which is the last recorded place on the given chart in Major Nelson's blog.


I will leave this post as is to ensure my own personal opinion is not construed with this information. Thank you.

I'm new to competitive Halo and Halo itself (Reach being my first video game ever actually). Message me if you want to play;

Reach: MLG, Arena, Doubles, BTB and customs.
Halo 3: Ranked MM and customs.

Also I have every Halo title and all of its DLC on the Xbox 360.

Halo 4 had close to the same population within a day before release.
LOL

Guess he is pointng out how reach is still getting beaten by;
- 2 COD titles,
- a sports title (Fifa),
- minecraft (guess forge couldnt cope - what has reach got left)
- and some more recent titles.

Or perhaps he is just pegging the mark now before the current round of new titles releases.

But actually ... who knows, who cares.

It really isn't important, but considering how Halo 3 was top 3 pretty much it's whole life time up until Reach came out, it is disappointing to see that Halo can't even crack the top 5 with a new release around the corner. Halo 2 dominated up until the Xbox 360's release as well. In a way, this does point out Reach's failure.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

So they have consistent populations?
That's cool to know.

Funny how Halo: Reach is destroying Halo 3 though. I can't imagine the age of the game has anything to do with it though since by that logic the only reason Halo: Reach isn't at the top is because every game 'above' it is newer. Halo: Reach must be the best game in the series since it's destroying all the others.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

And both are killing reach - but like you, no one cares about reach.

Will be interesting to see if 343 can keep H4 at the #1 spot longer than the two weeks reach lasted.

Given they are both using the same engine (disadvantage to 343) I guess it comes down to who can do the best gameplay, and if any of the reach/bungie hate followed the brand.

Eh, I care about Reach when it comes to playing it. As long as there are players to play with then I am happy. There's still people on Halo 3 and some on Halo 2 PC, so Reach won't die for a long time.

I just hate CoD's effect on other games. A prime example is Ubisoft who has taken the Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon franchises and made games that copy CoDj, and for that matter Halo, to try to pull those fans in to get a quick buck instead of making their own type of game.

So you dont mind that minecraft put the reach forge [cough] tool to shame?

Plus, and here is the stinger, most people prefer COD.
Just look at the online player count ... you think that happens because it doesnt appeal.

Plus other game studios make these changes because again gamers prefer these options.

So go ahead and hate ... but dont go expecting the world to change.
