Probably just bad timing on the release of the game with everything that came out at the same time. I have been thinking about picking up fallout 4. I haven’t yet cause I am still mildly amused by halo 5. Not a call of duty fan but I can see where some of the halo players would split off to that. Battlefront might take some people away too. If 343 makes a few changes and keeps the content fresh halo 5 will survive.
No but the community is making we want to die. People complain about everything constantly. Weapons op, br starts, Spartan charge, p2w etc. in this day and age apparently people can’t just play a game and have fun anymore.

Most Halo games have had a few “hardcore” playlists for the “tryhards” to flock to allowing the rest of us to enjoy the game but in Halo 5 all playlists are geared towards competitive nonsense. Then Warzone is shoved down our throats as the craptastic alternative to Arena, as if that clusterfudge is supposed to satisfy everyone who used to enjoy playing social playlists in Halo.

Couldn’t have said it any better. I’m a huge halo fan and will most likely never leave. I’ve been around from ce. But they really need party restrictions. This way new solo players won’t get matched with a full team of try hards.

A lot of other games released right at the same time and it is only gonna get worse Star Wars coming out in a few days and the huge crowd of people switching over to that for multiplayer. None of this really seems to effect my multiplayer experience though, no problems finding matches and new people to play with.
Battlefront is a major casual fest

You summed up a lot of the same things I have been ranting about. Glad I am not the only one.
People seem to forget the fact that two big games were just released. I’ve taken a break as well from Halo to play Fallout 4 so just chill people. Just because people are leaving doesn’t mean the game is doomed.
Not at all.
I can still find games. I’m good.
its not dying. halo is a game to come back to. you dont replay fallout over and over
It’s only natural mate.
Bops 3 and Fallout seem to be good games, but many Fallout players will eventually come back.
Xmas surge will see more people back on Halo too.
That would be a good thing, I need the better players to go play something else for a while while I get my skills up , and mind you probably never to their level . So I can simply survive on the battlefield or run away in fear.
Unfortunately, I do believe that Halo 5 is on the down turn of popularity. The flare died fast, with the weak campaign and lack of variety in multiplayer arena and warzone.
to be honest, Halo will be dead if 343i -Yoinks!- up the next Major Halo game, Halo wars 2 is what people have wanted but if it’s garbage then Im throwing in the towel and I will never play another Halo game ever. Ive played all of the games upto now and 343i has learned from Halo 4. Now they have to learn from Halo 5.

> I’ll have to find the chart sometime, but if you look at CS:GO’'s population at launch… It wasn’t that great. The boost in popularity of the game didn’t happen until much much later, as new updates came out, positive word of mouth was spread, and the competetive scene grew. This could happen with Halo 5.
CS:GO is a $15 dollar game that at launch had terrible consolified gameplay. Halo 5 has great gameplay already, I don’t think there’s anything 343 can do to keep a large playerbase, that just doesn’t happen on console anymore.

Care to share how you were able to look at the population?
I’ve been playing BO3 more.
Dead as hell. No new game types for more than a weekend is bs.
No halo is just thinning out the weak players from the strong

Most Played on Xbox One via the Xbox Store, bruhhhhhh.
I don’t know, and I honestly don’t care. I play it, I like it. There.
