So in Halo 3 and in Halo: Reach, they showed the number of people online playing the game when you go to Matchmaking, but Halo: Reach, had a flawed one. In Halo 3, it shown the population within a 24 hour period, but Halo: Reach shown it’s population within a one hour period. This is why people get confused about Reach’s population.
What I am proposing is a Population indicater like Halo 3 in the game, but also show a visual representation of data, that charts the population on the website.
Also I am going to leave this here to dismiss the myth that Halo 3 did better than Halo: Reach population wise. To see Halo 3’s you must scroll down all the way until you see Ensemble Studios.
