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.

Still in denial, lol. Doesn’t matter that most of the fanbase despises the track that 343i has taken with the Halo franchise. Let’s keep marching on! smh.

I’d just quit. This game is a joke.

I’m not in denial, I actually really like H5, it’s a shame that they’ve excluded many of the features that were in the previous games though.
Was on Reach yesterday at 8 at night and 19k were on lol. #RIPH5Confirmed

Why does everyone keep saying this? Unless this comment is a joke, I’d like to point out that Halo 5 is 6th most played on Xbox Live. You can get a match quickly, in fact almost instantly in every playlist. Can you get a match quickly, or at all, in Super Slayer or Objective in Reach? No. Halo 5 clearly has a superior population to Reach.

Though I don’t disagree with you, that activity list is based on the collective data of the last week for games that are played on the Xbox One (XBone games and BC games). Reach became BC three days ago, so even if it did have a superior population, it wouldn’t be noticable right now on that list.

Use your brain. Tomb raider campaign is 3 times longer than Halo. Also Tomb Raider probably didn’t even sell 500k copies. Tomb Raider wasn’t even in the top 10 on release day because everyone bought Fallout.

And Halo 5 has a MP than doesn’t end. Why do you think Tomb Raider having a long Campaign matters? Those aren’t single player stats.

That number is a guesstimate.
If you’re going by where it’s placed in the “TOP PAID” section of the Store on the dashboard, that’s be just for your region.
Each store will have a different line up.
Bunch of 343 hating drama queens ITT…

Here in Australia we have two dedicated servers apparently. One in Melbourne and one in Sydney. Pretty sure they were in place before Halo 5 though because Microsoft has been using them for cloud services for awhile.
Who…cares…if you like the game, play it. If you don’t, go play something else.
Remember when the forums were people trying to improve the game not just saying it’s dead…

Yeah man I totally agree, all this hate is just contributing to people’s lack of interest in the franchise. Constructive feedback is the way to go.
The issue is that Reach would even have a population of 15-30k knowing its 5 years old said to be -Yoink- yet its right next to Halo 5 in population numbers even though its a more recent game.

How exactly did you base that number? Out of your -Yoink-? Because that’s what it sounds like.
