4 million players online?

Pause the video and take a look at the War Games section, the date is 10.24.2012. and 4 MILLION ppl is playing matchmaking.

Do you guys think that many ppl will play online? I think it is possible, considering that the game is 3 month away from launch and has half a million preorders in the USA alone.

That figure was just made up as the GAME ISN’T OUT YET!!!

I know it was made up… I just aksed if you think an online population of 4 million is possible.

I really don’t know to be honest! We’ll just have to wait and see!

Probably on day one, it’ll quickly drop.

It’s the same for every game, for one reason or another people leave and stop playing. Some have more priorities, some have more interest in another franchise, some get tired of the game, some just flat out don’t like the game. and SOME people don’t like it and rather then admit that to themselves and accept it, spam the official forums with DEMANDS of what they personally think the game should be AND that the developers should stop and drop everything to create a new, free downloadable “update” that specifically caters to them.

Unfortunately, this is probably true

Yes it’s possible, just look at the early days of Reach, Blops etc before people move on with their lives just over 1 million at the same time. But for this to happen the timezones all need to be the same or millions of more xbox owners need to buy a copie of the game.

The last part is really unnecessary. All it spouts is your dislike of those individuals. The only intent behind that is to spark a flame war. Don’t you think its getting a little old Kaiser? I mean I had enough of those guys as, but you’re no better then them doing that.

Maybe it’s the limit servers can reach before crashing.

LULZ I hope not.

Oh Gawd WHY!?!?! I hope it’s actually Playable on Day 1. There’s so much Hype, I wouldn’t be surprised if some servers crashed on the back end.

it could be up there on day one, and maybe for the first week, but it’ll drop fairly quickly. Let’s hope we can maintain a population higher than Reach’s measly 75,000.

No I don’t think it would be that high. As much as I love Halo I’m positive the online population would not hit 4 million at any given time. I also believe the servers would crash way before 4 million.
