Subject: Halo 4 Population is Misleading

You have probably all seen this chart.

But today, I noticed almost 20K people play Spartan Ops, and it doesn't get counted into the population like it did in previous Halo games.

So there are probably like around 30-50K added on to the daily peak population considering the War Games Population isn't adding Forge, Spartan Ops, Campaign, and Customs

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

Probably because 20K people only play Spartan Ops on Monday, I've seen the population around the later times of the week it's only around 7000-9000

NOTE: This is my new primary account. My old account was AgentCOPP1, and I changed it because it was linked to a gamertag that I no longer use.

Well, I would play it more if Junior year didn't suck so much of my life out of me (assuming playing a video game means I have a life lol).

It probably has the same system like Halo 3, just counts total people on over 24 hours. I don't know though, and I doubt it

Comparing continents to video games.
My god Halo fanboys are hilarious.
As for the WoW comment, no, but it shows the quality and replayability as for the number of people who play it.
Where, Halo 4 shows the quality and replayability as how the population drops.

Halo 3's counted everyone online at one single time, if I am correct. Halo 4 has several different counters for different items.

I was wondering why Halo 4 only peaked at 400K while Halo Reach was at 1Mil

It is because Halo 4's population shown on the chart is not including online Campaign players or any other playlists besides Matchmaking playlists

I expect a pretty big population increase during Christmas, also, considering all CoD fans went to CoD and all the Halo fans stuck with Halo 4

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Actually, no. I went onto better games. I am not playing a game that wants call of duty fans to play.

TBH, the best way for Halo to have a big population is for it to stick to what made Halo 2 so special. Halo Reach was extreme garbage. Halo 4 isn't bad at all, but it's got some fixing to do

Ouch...you seem a bit mad. If you don't like the game then that's cool and all, no need to cry about it though.

Comparing PC games to Console games is stupid also

What made Halo 2 so special? Glitches.

Ok, don't play then. I am not asking you to play. Go play some other game. Enjoy yourself. Be cool. Have fun.

Halo 3 counted pop over the course of 24hrs, it reset at the end of the day. It was nothing like Reach's. It could say 100k but there could really be half a dozen people on

I would expect an increase just because kids will get it for christmas, but I think their population figures aren't off. 343 managed to piss off a lot of people

  • 12.03.2012 6:13 PM PDT

Are you telling me when I saw 259K online in like 2009, that means there was only 259K people online all day? WTF

Halo 3 showed daily while Reach and 4 showed hourly. Halo 4 get's millions daily.
