Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

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!

Err. I don't think Halol 4 is even remotely anything I would care about as the world is ending.

What you see with me is what you get. I would rather be hated for what I am than loved for something that I'm not.

I am who I am, not who you want me to be. Your approval isn't needed and your opinion isn't required or desired.

Really? Just over 99,000?

That's actually pretty good. You can't expect the numbers to be 500,000+. 100,000 is a lot of people, not counting Customs, Forge, Spartan Ops or Campaign. It's still the second most played XBL game.

Only ~100k is bad.

Yes. Let's compare a game with little competition that came out 5 years ago, to a game with heavy competition this year.

Here you go from other forums and posts I've been a part of about Halo 4 population.

I still believe the statistics you reference at Halo charts are the wrong ones. I also believe you have incorrect statistics about Halo 3 populations, rose tinted glasses I'm afraid. Here we go -

Statistics gathered by Waypoint member eliteslaya13
February 12th, 2008
Halo 3, players online: 119,477

December 11th, 2008
Halo 3, players online: 49,144

February 18th, 2009
Halo 3, players online: 32,874

March 13th, 2009
Halo 3, players online: 40,168

May 12th, 2009
Halo 3, players online: 79,414

May 29th, 2009
Halo 3, players online: 143,375

July 24th, 2009
Halo 3, players online: 167,963

The numbers don't lie; what you remember about the Halo 3 player counts is wrong. Those times when Halo 3 had over 200,000 players online were rare occasions. Good luck trying to find a reliable source that shows a day, over one year into Halo 3's lifespan, when Halo 3 would have had over 200,000 players. Further this is not even factoring in the changes in statistics calculations or game modes either.

I used to use that population argument back in the days when Reach was released. But a matter of fact is, I got introduced to the cruel reality, the reality that Halo 3, in fact, didn't have an exceptional amount of active players over a year after its release. Not compared to Reach or 4, they are for the most part very much in the same boat regarding the current FPS genre and losing the king franchise status of that genre.



Some various posts about population statistics amalgamated.

Halo Charts peak population is not unique players per day or games played per day totals. You are looking at the wrong statistic and trend. Halo continues to be #2 on XBL overall for 2 months since release.


Major Nelson Xbox Live Charts from Dec 3rd. Clearly COD/BOPSII is popular and #1, clearly Halo 4 has remained as #2 and clearly the peak population chart over at Halo Charts is NOT the correct statistic to look at. The previous Major Nelson XBL chart for November 19 had Halo 4 as number 2 as well, see source link here. Halo 4 has beaten out ACIII, FIFA13, Skyrim, FarCry 3, Borderlands 2 & Reach of course. All while holding #2 against the COD juggernaut. Halo 4 is doing great and sales have been excellent with a huge cash pile for 343i/MS.

1. Only XBL or 343i numbers are the accurate ones, there is no official API support and already Halo Charts are missing a number of statistics to track population accurately. I appreciate Halo Charts they just don't have the API support to deliver the goods reliably or cover ALL game modes for correct population analysis.

2. Halo Charts does NOT include Spartan Ops numbers.

3. Halo Charts does NOT include Campaign numbers.

4. Halo Charts does NOT include Custom Games numbers.

5. Both #1 (COD) & #2 (Halo 4) will experience fluctuations over XMAS, gift giving and players having more time off over holidays to play games.

6. Halo has always been able to attract players back over months and I don't think Halo 4 will be any different this XMAS or through early next year either.

7. Most purchasers of Halo games buy it for the campaign, not what you'd think from being and XBL multiplayer but it has always been this way and that tradition continues with Halo 4 as well.

8. Show me a peak population for BOPSII and you'll see the same initial peak trend, it's all about the casual players who buy games and rarely revisit them again mate.

9. I expect a massive decrease in PEAK population, again it is NOT the number of unique players or total games played per day across all game modes.

10. Expect the same exact peak trend to occur over XMAS holidays as well.

11. Expect a similar peak trend as map packs, tweaks, playlists or updates are released.

12. ACIII & Borderlands 2 are no small games to compete against. Especially Borderlands 2 taking out lots of multiplayer awards too.

13. No need to get your panties in a bunch over a trend that is to be expected. Also there is absolutely nothing wrong with second place, it's a great achievement but sure I'd like Halo 4 to be #1.

14. 14 day free gold trial that came with the game.

Can we please now stop referencing the incorrect Halo Charts statistics!

Once again peak does NOT equal unique players or games played per day.

Honestly this is the only part of your post I care about. Unless I am remembering wrong the number stated online is the current number of people playing. Depending when that pic is taken it can very a lot. That is also far different from peak players. If you look at the numbers online for March 13th 2009 verse the unique players that pretty much backs up my claim. Since there is no way that so many different people can be logging into Halo 3 with the max only being 40k. Essentially saying the person you quoted is wrong and is trying very hard to make Halo 4 have a good looking amount of people on.

Got a 7 day ban. It got lifted. Got banned three more times in the last few days because the system keeps glitching. We'll see if it lets me post for more than a day this time.

It's still the second most played XBL game.


After the big Minecraft update it will probably drop to third.

Maybe. I can see a surge in players for Minecraft, and that dropping a bit after a month or two.
