Only 74k yesterday which is the lowest yet. And this is despite Grifball being added. Unless the TU is the greatest TU in the history of gaming I don’t see how this game can be saved.
So?
Notice how the population took a huge hit when Black Ops 2 came out.
Face it, Halo isn’t the only kid on the block anymore, Call of Duty has a death grip on online multiplayer, and with all these other huge games coming out, I’m not surprised the population isn’t as high.
From what I understand, Halo 4 is still in the top 2 or 3 most played Xbox Live games played, among BO2 and Minecraft. Any other game company would kill to even sniff the amount of players Halo 4 has.
Yesterday was a monday. People were going back to school and work so they didn’t have time to play. It’s also entirely possible that people were playing the new episode of Spartan Ops instead of MM.
Obligatory Halocharts inaccurate because they are selective, only MM, not unique users, just highest population on at one time etc etc post.
Enough of these threads. If you aren’t going to post anything constructive, don’t post anything at all. If you want more people to play, get them to play. Posting a gloom and doom thread in the forums without anything constructive on how to get players here isn’t going to do anything.
BO2 released some new DLC so their population is going to go up, then back down as people move on and other games are released. This is normal. When Team Doubles is up, more people will show up, along with the competitive playlist, team snipers, the TU and the map pack. Populations fluctuate.

It was 4th back on the week of January 7-13. And by the looks of things it could fall to 7th this week.
