The way to go into a maximum win-win situation:
1. "Boycott" (stop playing) Halo 4.
2. Go back to Halo 3.
3. Get others to play Halo 3 instead of Halo 4.
4. The Halo 3 population will rise, the Halo 4 population will go down.
5. 343i looks at the H3 population and realises that it is still going after five years - and models Halo 5 after it.

Halo 4 loses population, Halo 3 continues to live, and 343i incorporate more of Halo 3 into Halo 5.
Seems like a good (albeit improbable) deal.
I would be willing to do this and make all my friends do this.

Halo 3 will rise once more!!!


I am actually genuinely curious as to if this could actually be pulled off. If 100 users on The Flood were able to get 100 people each then there's an extra 10000 people on Halo 3's population - which is pretty damn noticable for a game that's been out since 2007.

Didn't recieve compensation?

Then join us and boycott Halo 4 multiplayer, thus lowering the population to an all new low that will force 343 to give us compensation.

*Hot-Topic Material, now just add pics of Felicia, and everyone will be playing Halo 3.*

Who wants to help OP's plan he borrowed from Powershadows?

This, but it won't work because people are unambitious and it's only going to be read by maybe 100 people here. If you honestly want this to be done, post on other forums like xbox.com's or reddit or something.

Sure, OP! I'll join you in about 2 and a half years!

I would suggest the Waypoint forums for once, but the Mods would probably ban you an instant and edit your post to say something like "Play more Halo 4!" to silence the truth.

Why do all you people want a Halo 3 reskin? Its not happening.


Personally I don't want Halo 3.5 - but I would like Halo 5 to have things like duel-wielding, ranked playlists, "fast" movement speed, no bloom, no dynamic spawns, and so on. I'm actually fine with most of Halo 4 (better than the mess that was Reach IMO) but it is missing that level of addiction that Halo 2 and Halo 3 had - that part of the game that kept people attached to the multiplayer for years.

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

I've thought about making a thread like this. In the end, I knew it would not have a bigger effect than telling people that Halo 3 is way more fun to play than Halo 4.

You know that chart is highly inaccurate because

1. That population does not include campaign players, forge players, Spartan Ops players, and other players that are online but not playing War Games

2. Halo 3's population counted on a 24 hour basis, while this population is a daily peak population

Just to clarify:

-I don't hate Halo 4 (it's better than Reach), I just think that Halo 2 and 3 were more addictive and balanced games in terms of multiplayer. Halo 4 is just missing the incentive to keep playing after you've hit the top ranks, mainly due to the lack of ranking systems/ranked playlists.

-I personally think that instead of complaining about Halo 4 we can just go back to Halo 3 - if enough people do this (even if its only 500 to 1000), 343i will still notice that Halo 3 has a decent population for a game that has been out for five years.

-My friends were strong Halo 3 players, but they were shaken by Reach and have now left Halo after Halo 4. I know I'm not the only person this has happened to.

-Microsoft is to blame for the Map Pack problems, not 343i.

-343i have done an excellent job in other areas of Halo 4 - improved graphics, improved audio, best campaign in a Halo game for a long time, Spartan Ops is a worthy successor to Firefight, and the music is actually quite well composed.

Hopefully that clears things up.
Thanks for reading.

A solution to gathering people could possibly be for everyone to send an M2AF message to their friends (specifically ones who adored Halo 3) and tell them what you're attempting to accomplish. If you get each person to do it, it'll stem and so on.

Lots of people try to help poise gamers as mature, savvy consumers.

And then people do things like this and any notion of gamer maturity is thrown out the window and ran over.

Microsoft's problem, not 343i. They don't handle marketing or publishing, MS does.

At least know what you're on about before making threads.

^True. The fiasco with the Map Packs is Microsoft's fault, not 343i's. In fact, it was Microsoft to blame for ruining ODST (by forcing Bungie to make it a full game rather than an expansion) and probably for some of the moves Halo 4 has made (forcing 343i to try and appeal to a larger audience). I feel rather sorry for 343i after all this - after all, it is their first game and they really have been hit hard from all sides.
