All of these idiots. They see the slightest decline in anything Halo related and instantly come to the conclusion that the series is dying.

Maybe the price has dropped because it's Christmas? Did that ever occur to you?
So you call less than 75,000 players a SLIGHT decline? You call a 30% price drop a SLIGHT drop? This is a month into release. That is bad no matter how you look at it.


I saw more than that online a few days ago between a few gametypes. And that may have been back 5 years ago, but these days between the number of popular games acting in competition and the time of year (finals, Christmas) AND the post-release depression where people realize the game isn't Jesus, Halo 4's doing pretty good.

It hasn't been less than 75,000 players. Over the days, the average has been around 100,000 or slightly lower. The times that it did hit that low was when the servers were down and what not.
Check the charts, it's at it's lowest average now of right above 75,000. I have no doubt it will get there in the coming week.


That's because there's many people still in school. Around this time, school's letting out.

The title made me laugh so much. The amount of drama is priceless.

STOP CYBER BULLYING ME!

The game sold well. This isn't a downfall for the company.

Funny. That doesn't seem to be a problem with BLOPS2.

Because BLOPS2 appeals to the masses more. Contrary to belief, the majority of people who bought BLOPS2 for Xbox weren't kids, but were adults and/or teenagers who get off early.

Well, both are rated M.

Adults should be working right now, and teenagers should be studying as well.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

You do know those charts are a daily statistic right...As in the most players on at one time every day. That is as in 24 hours.

Do link them please. I'm not complaining about Halo 4. I'm simply informing you guys about the price drop and making my own incite about it. Calm down.

Hey did you think that maybe I bumped this page because I don't want to think about that anymore? I think it's in our best interests to distract ourselves now. Let the shock settle in. I don't need that kind of feeling again right now.

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.

Must you make a Halo 4 thread every day, Eagle?

We get it; you don't like the game.

By store yes. It's not a sale if the developer is approving the mass discount.

We get it; you don't like the game.

Must you make a post in his Halo 4 thread every day, Ted Toaster?

We get it; you like the game and you want him to stop.

Well consider this a first.

I guess it can only be a good thing... more happy players on the amazing Halo 4! I cant wait.

You unlock this door with the key of inebriation. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of gingers, a dimension of drunks, a dimension of Lucky Charms. You're moving into a land of both beer and potatoes, of marshmallows and leprechauns. You've just crossed over into... the Shamrock Zone.

You just don't know when to quit do you?

Why does everything that happens to Halo 4 need a thread marked "Death of Halo"?

Guess what, a month of release prices can simply drop for a certain amount of time.

Because this doesn't happen with every other game. This is something expected with ME3's multiplayer which was not too hyped up. Halo 4 is multiplayer. The play count is dropping and they want sales. Price drop.
