Halo 4 is DEAD

Games Other Halo

Sadly, Halo 4 is dead. The only viable playlists are Infinity Slayer, Big Team, and Swat. Every other playlist has incredibly long wait times. I usually have to wait at least 5 minutes to find enough players for a game in Throdown, and that is on the weekend when Halo 4 is at its peak population. On, for example, a Monday, it takes me 10+ minutes to find a game usually, not to mention the fact that the Halo 4 fanbase is slowly decreasing. http://www.halocharts.com/2012/chart/dailypeakpopulation/all

Using one of the least populated playlist to judge how the rest of the playlist perform is not a good way to judge search times for the rest of the game.

Im not entirely positive, but I think Throwdown has a tighter true skill matching system, which was asked for by the people that wanted that playlist. Tighter search restrictions equal longer wait times, especially in a very small populated playlist.

Moral of the story, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

Well duh, you had to post this, thought it was known

You are talking about the third deadest standard playlist (only behind Extraction and objective just under 300 for both and throwdown floating at 460) and applying it to the whole game.

I can get a game of flood or regicide (both just at 800) in about a minute. That isn’t bad for the 5th and 6th lowest.
Anything over 1.3k I can get a game in less then a minute, connection allowing.

At 1:30 AM.

The game isn’t dead, your playlist is dead.

50k is not dead.

The game is dying. But it’s not dead.

What’s sad is that it was also in Reach, but nobody used that option because they didn’t like waiting. It’s like those people who don’t know how to cook, read the instructions, and figure if something takes 20 minutes to cook at 200 degrees, then it must only take 10 minutes at 400 degrees :\

Hey listen pal. Halo 4 is NOT DEAD! Just because you’re not enjoying the game does not mean you have the rights to say that Halo 4 is Dead like if its a fact. Its not a fact okay.

I’d call it dead if I have 10-15 locals that we could always get together and LAN or plays 4s online and NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM PLAY IT ANYMORE.

Better stated above, maybe it isn’t dead but Halo 4 isn’t Halo.
