343: Why did you turn off the population counter?

I booted up some Reach MM last night and noticed the population counters on every single playlist have been removed, AGAIN. You guys pulled this same childish, -Yoink- stunt when you released Halo 4 and it took you almost six months to restore it.

What is it with you all? Those of us who still play this game, those that have been complaining and requesting an update of some kind all goes unanswered. It’s plainly obvious your company doesn’t give two -Yoink- about Halo Reach any longer even though this game has a dominating number of players for the past two years (long before this game was even given away for free), yet the only time you feel the need to make any changes is to hide the numbers of us who do play it. I want my population counter back.

Why do you do this? What possible reason is there to remove the pop counter from a game that’s four years old? I’m sure plenty of people can come up with other reasons or conspiracies, but all this tells me is that you all are so afraid of showing how poorly your amazingly broken and unplayable MCC MM has become that players are going back to older games and that really pisses you off. Don’t give us server excuses because your MCC servers have nothing to do with Reach or Halo 3. Oh wait, that’s assuming someone here from would even respond to this besides locking it.

How about you concentrate on fixing your game and leave the ones that are working alone? If you aren’t going to bother listening to our requests for new map rotations, playlist changes, new game types, and weapon location swaps for Halo Reach, then leave the game be when you introduce a new game.

They didn’t remove it, it only shows up sometimes. I get this too, but i would have to agree with updating the MM playlists and stuff

For me sometimes it works and sometimes it says zero.

Population numbers aren’t even that high anyway

This happens to me too. I think it’s just some sort of glitch or something

I’ve been playing this game since it launched, every weekend. I always see the population counter, I’ve always noticed when before they locked the population number before, and always noticed when it’s simply not there. It does work.

It’s been hanging between 25-15K for the past two years, up to 70K when it went Free w/Gold. Far better than Halo 3 or 4 has been doing.

maybe they turned it off because it doesnt -Yoinking!- affect u how many ppl are playing…
