Also what were your expectations for the population, OP? 10k, 100k, 1 million more people on, 95% of XBL to be on H4?

Black Ops 2 is just simply a better game. It runs better and doesn't have the same issues.

If you put your personal opinions aside those are the facts. Black ops 2 was a better made game from a technical aspect. Which is to be expected from an experienced developer as opposed to 343.

I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

"There is nothing better in the world than being better at a video game than someone else....oh wait"

With the other games that came out this year and the games that came out last year like Skyrim. This isn't surprising.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

You guys realize that a lot of people don't play Xbox everyday... Right? In fact, a lot of people don't, especially on Christmas.

It'll be better tomorrow.

People, HaloCharts displays daily peak population, or the most people online at once. Halo Reach showed the people online all day, and Halo 3 adopted a Reach-esque approach for data collecting.

Comparing those numbers puts Halo 4 at a disadvantage. Mix that with it being #2 on the charts, and you're not really proving anything.

I hope you know that "HaloCharts" is an invaluable source.


Nope. RippinHeads was the best Halo 3 player. Everyone knows that.
Also no one cares.

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.


Well, not anymore at least it seems.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

I don't see how this is important.

There seems to be a boost in the H3 population on the other hand...

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Burrito's just mad because he can't realize how bad this game is.

Two things.

1. lol@using HaloCharts.
2. If you 'expected' that then that's your own damn fault mate.

OT: Not surprised, considering most people who bought it would probably say how bad it is, making people more wary of buying it. Who's gonna waste money on a new game when most people they know say it isn't even fun?

NON FACET NOBIS CALCITRARE VESTRUM PERNĒ¢UM

Don't get me wrong, the game is playable. However, I thought it was a let-down compared to Reach and the previous Halo titles.

Just no.

Anything is better than Reach.

Want a cool clan? Join FRAG!

Want a war sim? The best war sim in Halo, Forerunner Conflict.

Your source says the population rose by like 30k players. Was the population supposed to double or something? It never rises by too much, as far as I know.

Why do people say the game is dying because of a lower population a month after it was released?
It happens to EVERY game.

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

Discuss Halo 4's popularity.
I don't want to. I don't care enough.

  • 12.26.2012 7:52 AM PDT

Halo 3 didn't start dieing until Reach came out. When Halo 3 launched, the population only kept going up.

no matter what Halo does it will never return to #1 on live for more than a couple weeks at a time. COD is king, and it will remain that way for some time. Halo had it's run. It just has to accepted Halo will always be around the #2 or #3 shooter on the market these days. Who cares though? If you enjoy playing it and can find a game, thats all you need.

Everyone saying that removing JIP, nerfing invis, balancing the weapons and adding a 1-50 ranking system will bring everyone back are complete morons. Really? You think those minor tweaks will bring back hundreds or even tens of thousands of people? LOL, right.

Don't think there was an expected boost. Anyone who really wanted the game got it already. By now, they've moved on to other games. Anyone who got it for Chirstmas isn't as huge a Halo fan.

Especially given that there are other games out there people got for Christmas, like Blops 2.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Those are the reasons why we left...
