Hahaha oh yes adding guns to the game is copying COD. Oh the whiners and their lack of good arguments.

I already moved back to Halo Wars and Reach.

OP has apparently never seen post-launch population trends for any game at all, because if he had he would know that this is basically expected.

Hey guis what's goin on in this sig?

He's comparing it to today's population count, of course it's going to be less; it's only 3 pm on a Thursday.

The only significant drop is seen when BLOPS 2 came out, and that was largely expected. This has happened to every Halo game post-release.

Just an Average Joe...

Yeah.

OP You know when a game is released and millions of people buying it, they are of course going to all spend the first few days putting in a lot of hours. Anytime following launch week, even after a few days, the amount of people playing at the same time then drops dramatically because everyone returns to their regular schedule. Are you new?

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.

I guess the perks, custom classes, care packages aka. ordinance drops and everything else Halo never had but cod had were never added to the game and only guns were... Oh wait

  • 11.29.2012 12:38 PM PDT

itt People trying to justify everyone dropping Halo 4.

  • 11.29.2012 12:42 PM PDT

1) It is a week day.

2) Blops 2 just came out

3) The first-week hype fest is over.

So tell me how losing a lot of the population is surprising again?

I like classic rock.

I personally don't see myself playing the multiplayer as much as I thought I would when it first came out.

I have just gotten tired of the whole Halo styled multiplayer. Even though they made changes and added new things to it, after a while it just reminded me of Halo: Reach and Halo 3 and I got bored of it.

That's what you get for copying COD and not listening to your community, 343i.


Wouldn't adopting a formula from one of the most popular franchises of the past 5 years only attract and keep MORE people?

Nice logic OP.

Okay, I just want to point this out:

Everyone uses the argument that CoD didn't create XP systems, loadouts, join in progress, point caps instead of kill caps, etc, and that games have been using such models for years...

343i wasn't inspired by those games, they don't care about those games. Halo 4 is a desperate and pathetic cash grab for the CoD player base.

Also let me tack something else on here; Halo 2 had virtually no competition during it's prime.

It was the same with halo 3. CoD 4 (MW) came out about two months after the release of Halo 3. Even then it was about the only other shooter on the market besides Halo 3. It still took almost three years after Halo 3's release before it was knocked out of the top spot on Xbox live.

Just sayin'

It feels more like a polished Reach, not Halo 3.
