I don't think it's a bad game but lag makes it unplayable.


Its strange that they haven't included a regional search option.

because custom games, forge, and multiplayer get boring fast

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

100,000 people is a lot of people my friend.

And this happens with games. The population will only be dropping after release.

Why do people still care about population when they can find a game?


The smaller the population, the bigger is the chance to get a bad host.

Is there not a "good connection" search?


No, that makes it even worse.

Please do not send me group invites.

Keep in mind the amount of people who are students, and probably have finals coming up, thus less video game time.

Well, they can count me out from playing Halo 4, until matchmaking gets fixed or gets social playlists, the game isn't worth my time or money.

Social is for noobs!

So, basically, you want to play Halo 3?

Also, for me personally, I'd like to see Halo 4's population die out, so that 343i would stop trying to attract COD's casuals to it and maybe start taking things more seriously.


SMART GUY! Just like what I was thinking. Hopefully they will realise and start making classic hao games from now on!
. You want "classic Halo"? Go buy CE and play splitscreen. Halo hasnt been "classic" since halo 2 launched. Halo will always change, live with it or guy find another franchise.

Sort of, i want halo 3 custom games for sure. But matchmaking wise i want something that feels like an arena style shooter and sadly halo 4 just doesnt have that feeling for me.

What right do you have to say they aren't taking it seriously? Perhaps they want to try something new? In case you haven't noticed classic Halo has never regained a good population since Call of Duty slayed that slow beast.

  • 12.10.2012 10:40 AM PDT

I really don't care.

It's sad how obsessed everybody's getting over sitting infront of a laptop and braging about how a game they dislike is popular, but not break-through popular.

I'm more interested to see how it fares during summer 2013


It'll be around 30.000, if you ask me.
HAH! Please. There's no way it'll go that low. I think it'll get around 200k everyday. (of course, that doesn't take into account 343 taking Halo 4 out of beta)
...It's already less than 200k...

Okay I want halo to maintain it's classic style while adding new additions to the franchise which don't change the gameplay to much e.g equipment and add new features to the franchise which are so small but can become big e.g forge with creativity. I also want halo to not copy other shooters to attract a wider audience. This is what halo 1.2.3 did great. Maintained the classic arena style formula/gameplay which made it fun and added new additions at the same time which didn't change the game to much.

-------------Happy is that detailed enough for you?------------

Halo 4 changed to much and isn't to unique anymore. Halo 5 will be 343I have failed to attract a wider audience so will be likely to got back to classic style formula.

Every time I see a H4 thread, it's filled with people pretending to be chicken little.

Instead of the sky falling, H4 is apparently "bad" and "dying."

NON FACET NOBIS CALCITRARE VESTRUM PERNǢUM

I will say I've started to lose my interest in the game as well. Guess it works out though, seeming as Dragonborn DLC is out, I at least have something to play. ^_^

More players will be on during Christmas break, but once the spring comes along you'll see the population continue to drop.

The Halo 4 population needs to turn and burn.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

Already quit the game. It makes sense to me; most of my friends also gave up on Halo 4 and went back to 3.
