I highly doubt that. They are probably throwing in people who Are trying it for free. Wait till it’s over. Also Microsoft threw in consoles with the sales of halo 5 so obviously it’s a no

Ya I miss the counter…

If this is the case, I wonder why we can’t know what the population is for Halo 5 or where it ranks in the most played games on xbox live… I love these kinds of stats, I really wish they brought back the population counter in halo and such.

Lol did you miss the part where Bravo said this was the case even before the free period? And if you go to the article it goes on to say that Halo 5 has an ever increasing player base.
Also as for the player count, most multiplayer games I play don’t have them anymore and neither did Halo 4. Not saying I didn’t wish it was there, just simply stating a fact…and with how good of reviews Halo 4 had and how highly anticipated it was I don’t think confidence was th issue for them removing it.
If it is true, then the only reason is Halo 5 is the highest played Halo game was because it was free for awhile. I bet if they made Halo 3 free for a few days during it’s golden years it wouldn’t have been topped.

So I schould accept everything as a fact without thinking about it?
Im not a halo fan because i dont like the way this franchise and company go?

Thanks Unyshek! I saw the article and was excited so I made this topic pretty quick without looking up the entire quote, just what was on IGN.
I have been a Halo fan for years, since Halo 1 and Halo 2 days and I think this is awesome news for Halo and the community. To be honest, I’ve only been active on the Waypoint forums for a short while and was quite disappointed considering the overall negative vibe on here.

I don’t think you know what facts are. A fact is something demonstrable, which is always the case. This is a subsection of an interview. They haven’t provided any numbers so we have no way to judge the situation or the efficacy of the information besides one man’s view. He didn’t state what time during H3s life span he thought it was comparable to or provide any information. Your attitude and insulting other members of the communtiy isn’t helpful.

Can we get figures to go along with that? I’m not doubting it, but it would be nice to see where the population stands.
Also, seeing as the population is increasing per month, would it be reasonable to expect to see a population count in-game?
