Why did you put this in quotes.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Not really a surprise, if you try to compete with "casualing" the game, you'll lose to Call of Duty, end of the story.

I personally don't have issues with loadout system, gameplay in general or ordnance drops or other new things implemented, but
lack of ranking system was probably reason a lot of competitives left, I personally put the game on the shelf until they fix the matchmaking, you can't play with friends unless they are exactly as skilled as you are. Game needs ranked/social playlists and party vs party, randoms vs randoms system in the matchmaking.

That's what you get when you take an Arena shooter who has had the same core gameplay for 3 games, and you add silly variables that change the complete fairness and equality out of the game that made it what it was in the first place.

Reach was Bungie's "different" Halo game. Halo 4 should have been a sequel to H3 not Reach.

If Bungie was in charge of Halo 4 they would have gone back to the Halo 1,2, and 3 type gameplay because they know that Reach was their spinoff.
Maybe your right. And they'd probably have about 25,000 dedicated players.

Crazy, it's almost as if tons of other games just came out, or Steam just did a season sale, or it's nearing finals time for school.

But I bet that stuff didn't affect it at all.

Population to go down is expected. Also, it's only 9:55 AM where I am. Of course the population for today is going to be low right now.

These are peak population numbers for each day brah.

What a waste....

Maybe because the post-release hype is gone and everyone now has to actually go do work and school.

Because some of us have lives.

Yes but today isn't over yet and therefore has likely not peaked and therefore the calculation should not compare today to 6-Nov-12, it should compare yesterday to 6-Nov-12.

I don't disagree, I'm just saying the drop is obvious even if you work off yesterday's numbers.

Yes, I know my username is the 330th sequel to a terrible movie. You don't have to keep telling me.

You know plenty of games came out this November, and it's not just Halo 4. People are buying other games and playing the -blam!- out of 'em before returning.

Halo as a series has gotten old. Sure, it was great while it lasted, but maybe it's better to throw in the towel now and end on a reasonable high than slide slowly into a forgotten obscurity.
