Can I point that even Halo 3's population total dropped this much after its launch week ended. Major releases always see the largest player totals during their launch week. After people beat the game, they move back towards their favorites. The only people who stick with the new game are fans of the series.
Nope. Halo 3 was consistently in the top most played spot on Xbox Live and was in direct competition with CoD 4 the entire time.
In my opinion, Halo is seeing this failure because it is no longer unique. Its gameplay style is now in more relation to CoD, Battlefield, and Medal of Honor rather than being its own unique arena shooter and so people get tired of the same type of gameplay every single year. I've found myself on neither Black Ops nor Halo 4, I've been going to games like Skyrim, MK9, Castlevania, Minecraft, Red Dead, etc. The reason why? They are unique, they are their own games. Halo claims nothing special or unique anymore as it was the only popular console arena shooter of our recent time.
