Halo 4 Population Counters

I just needed to ask the forum community on whether the Halo 4 population counters are currently broken or not working?

Before there were barely 40,000 players in total and only like 500 in King Of The Hill?

Are the counters broken or does the game have seriously indeed have less players then Halo: Reach as it stood at 71,000 not even 20 seconds later when I put it in to check.

if you just look at matchmaking its 25,000
H3 population is 6,000
i bet reach has close to what H4 has.
