I think we can get a rough guess as to the amount of H5 players (in ranked) based on Menke’s percentages in his Q/A matchmaking post (and knowing Champs are top 200 players).
Here’s what I came up with:
Slayer: 100,000 players
SWAT: 100,000
TA: 40,000
Doubles: 33,000
Hardcore SF: 33,000
Elimination: 25,000
Mythic Arena: 20,000

That seems high to me
If there’s 100,000 people playing slayer why do I play with the same 4 people hmm 
. I do wish they would add a population tracker but at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter I guess
This is a very clickbait-y title and I suggest a more appropriate title that includes something related to “prediction.”
As for your numbers, I sincerely doubt there are about 350,000 people playing H5 MP, especially considering all the posts about people having matchmaking issues.
H5 isn’t even in the top 30 most played games on xbox, losing to games with less players then what you’re claiming. If what you’re posting is true, then party matching would be a thing and 343 wouldn’t hide the player count.
Even as a person that sorta likes this game, this is WAY too high to be true to be perfectly honest. The game’s been out for almost 5 years at this point, there’s no way it’s kept this much of a steady population, it does have enough of a population where I can find games in all playlists, but not THIS high.

Keep in mind this would all the ranked players over a whole season. It’s not like there’s this many people on at once.
Also — there’s going to be overlap between playlists. Many players are ranked in more than one.

Very true. It would justify some of the numbers being really high but I’m not too sure about some of the highest ones like slayer and swat.
At best, those numbers would only tell us how many people have played at least one game (10 if they’re ranked) this season in each playlist. It certainly isn’t indicative of the actual playlist’s health (how quickly matches are being made in each playlist).
Surprising numbers
You forgot the breakout population
Breakout: 19
Interesting… Halotracker claims there are 300,000 ranked players in slayer…
(not clickable cause my rank is too low, sry)

I did say “rough guess” in the first sentence. And you can’t just add those numbers the get 350k because obviously many people ranks in more than one playlist. But the math is there. If, as Menke says, that Slayer Champs are 0.2 percent of the ranked population, that works out to 100k ranked total. Again obviously, not all playing at once.
it has never been secret and numbers of players is not correct. This is the true csr population link .

Those #s are off too — for one the percentiles don’t match with what Zaedynfel posted, and two - if you look at their actual csr leaderboards, they have many mistaken entries (players who haven’t played in ages who are counted, etc).
lol halo 5 is dead game… Social is dead, warzone is dead. Team arena is still alive thank god
