"No, I've got a larger population!"

It's like a pissing contest.

It's Christmas day!! Perhaps people are spending time with their family rather than playing video games.
Excuses, excuses, excuses. I know 90% of the people that i know, after spending some time with their family, opening presents and eating dinner, end up getting online if they got a new game. If they dont, then theyre probably not that excited to play it anyways. Admit it, it sucks.

If I ever see anyone post in a thread "That's your opinion", I immediately lose all respect for them.

Also, if you're discussing a topic with me and you resort to name calling, pull "life checks", or just call anything you don't agree with retarded without giving legitimate reasons, don't expect me to take you serious in anyway what so ever.

Population means nothing. Street Fighter 4 is never on top 10 population charts and that game has remained strong for over 4 years. Also, barely anyone plays xbox on Christmas anyway so I don't see the point in this thread.

All of you are saying to spend time with your family, yet look at yourself. Your on a -blam!- ing forum

>People honestly thinking the population will increase in the next few days just because they say people don't play Xbox on X-Mas.

I don't know about you, but if I had a new game for the Xbox as big as Halo 4, I would be glued to my Xbox. Regardless of the date. Halo 4's population will not increase the way people say it is just because "It's not Christmas anymore".

Population is already high, hell, it's the 2nd most played XBL game!

If I had more friends to play with, the game would be glued to my Xbox. I just alternate it with Skyrim.

Getting tired of people bashing the numbers. It doesnt matter, as long as there is enough players to play a match, im really not bothered. Plus its Christmas! Most people are with their families, not stuck on their xbox.


Yeah really does it really take more then 125,000 people to find a game?

Oh god this entire argument is just silly. Who gives a damn about population? A whole bunch of games out there don't have a lot of people playing them at this very moment but that doesn't make them any less of a game, does it?

Jesus, you're all so immature.

  • 12.25.2012 4:30 PM PDT

Exactly, name 1 person you know, that doesn't play xbox on Christmas when they get a new game.

Using Xbox LIVE's population statistics isn't doing Halo 4 any favors. Not to sound rude, but Halo 4's population is piss poor compared to Halo 3 when it first launched, and there were considerably less Xbox's in the household back then.

What is Halo 4's population being compared to? Black ops? Halo will NEVER even come close to rivalling a CoD game. The very comparison is invalid.

Oh you mean like how the last quality Halo game, Halo 3, rivaled CoD 4?

It's pretty hard to beat a game population wise if you copy it.

Not really. It was demonstrated not long ago, that Halocharts is not a reliable source for data regarding population. And the myth that Halo 3 had a larger population at launch is also not true. According to the Wayback Machine, Halo 3 had very similar numbers of players compared to 4.... and Reach.

BUT, since there were less ecksbawks in households back in 07, Halo 3 then, had a larger chunk of the total Xbox population, so it was more popular.
