Does anyone now if there is a leaked one or something? I know the population data isn’t public but it would be really interesting to compare it to H3, H4 and Reach.
Its all speculation as far as a precise number…
Xbox live most played games would set H5 to have a pop of around 10-25k I believe.

that’s extremely low… Is that in the world in in America or the lowest population recorded ever at a time.
I’m quitting playing Halo 5 from tonight. I actually love the balance of the game, but now that the European players seem to have dwindled, it’s seems the game is near unplayable for me and my friends in Europe. We NEED local servers, it’s just no fun playing games were hardly any shots register.
It’s a shame, but I’ve got better things to do than play games where there’s is zero opportunity to win because of a terrible regional server problem.

I’m not having problems with this at all and I live in Sweden, weird. Hope it’ll sort out for you soon man.

I don’t think it’s that low though, Battlefield 4 has about 20 000 people playing and H5 is way above on the Xbox live most played-list.

Because it’s the weekend. Right now, the population is peaking in every game. Halo 5 sits at #10 on most played games list most of the time, and puts it at a regular population of around 15-20k. Right now, I would guess it’s around 30k. And as we get closer to Christmas, it’ll probably reach 60k or maybe even 70k (Being optimistic).
EDIT: Btw, that’s not the right list for most played games. You have to go on your Xbox, go to the store, browse all games, and scroll down to “most played games” list.

It’s definitely an issue. There’s a forum post about 2 months long about it. I’m a good player, but I can see the lag on the hit register for each shot that doesn’t register and it’s a MAJOR flaw. All they needed to do was give us European servers. I don’t care that the population would be lower, the games would be fair and presently, it’s not.

Oh okay so what list was it that I linked? Is there no way to view the real list on the computer?

Exactly this, couldn’t agree more.
We were told at the beta “You’ll be able to choose your data centre” well that got pulled for reasons unknown to anyone and there’s a 1300 post thread of EU players complaining but still no answer. And they wonder why this game isn’t big in EU…facepalm

You linked the “most popular” list, which just shows what is generally being downloaded and clicked on most on the Xbox Live store. So it has nothing at all to do with population.
Unfortunately, I’ve tried, but there’s no way to access it on a computer. You must do it on your Xbox One.
Halo reach has 23k players atm… That is sad a 5 year old game has just as many players as a current game. Now only if the frame rate didn’t drop into the teens that would be nice
All you need to know is that Tomb Raider has 11h on average Community playtime for 2015 year in review, while Halo 5 is at 10h in average playtime meaning a big failure.

Halo 5 has only been out a couple of months though

Halo 5 is still older then Tomb Raider, yet TR has more playtime and it’s a pure single player game compared to Halo 5.

Oh I didn’t know that. Well that’s too bad but we shouldn’t let the numbers/population decide if we should play the game or not!
The playlist some times glitch out and show population numbers. I was playing assault and it stated there was around 200 people available

We can’t be sure that’s actually population numbers. It may just be matches available for you to join in your skill group, or some other matchmaking number. But if it turned out to be actual population numbers, that’s depressing
343i screwed up with Halo 5 the same way they did with MCC and Halo 4. Only dedicated servers in America; the result, oversea players drop the game in a heartbeat due to horrendous connection to American hosts.
