I have a feeling that the player population has been increasing. The last few days I think I have seen some of the biggest noobs on the planet between not knowing where to cap a flag to the wasp being the scariest thing in the world.
This is good news in that there is more player and bad news is holy -Yoink!- how hard is it to see where it says to return the flag?
I think i was in that BTB match with you where our teammate tried to cap the flag at our flags position and not in the baseā¦ I even tried to tell him where to cap it in chat, dude didnāt even listenā¦ That was realy disapointing.
Yes that was def the one. Itās crazy but I have seen more and more new player type stuff which like I said is a good and bad thing. Eventually all good.
Itās really not. TA showing activate popular games and itās going down in leader boards every time Iāve checked and Iām checking Steam too and itās officially lost a majority of the playerbase and is now sitting on 3k. I think population goes up sometimes at peak times but off peak it basically looks like population is nearly dead on Steam while Xbox population is doing ok but thereās no telling how long that will last.
So itās scary how close Halo has dropped to Battlefield 2042 player levels.
Steam numbers are incredibly biased.
Halo was never big on PC compared to Xbox. The market on steam is oversaturated, and Steam Halo users make up a small percentage of total players. Steam numbers donāt account for users via gamepass, or using the windows store. They also donāt factor in the Xbox players.
The only thing scary about this whole thing is how a bunch of Halo fans think obsessing over 1 number and screaming ādead gameā will make anyone want to play with them,
Iām sorry but thatās nonsense. Steam is one of the biggest markets on PC. You can try to act like itās bigger on console but the fact remains that it failed on PCās biggest market place and is going into decline on TA for āall xboxā active accounts for Halo Infinite. 269K is never a small number no matter how you try to rationalise and in fact most normal people see that as a failure. Drop in population is expected over time but not this fast. Halo Infinite is not immune to complaints/criticism just like neither is BF2042.
No whatās āscaryā is people you who think no matter what 343i does is somehow a success even if itās a drastic decline that no reasonable person would think is ok because that 272k population down to 3k is somehow is not āokā. Thatās just bad business and you know it. Itās not ādead gameā but it certainly not āboomingā.
