Population or Lack thereof

It appears that Halo 5 has less than 20,000 players online right now; sad, isn’t it? It’s a Friday afternoon shortly after a significant update, and the population continues to dwindle.
I wanted to get the community’s opinion on the low population. Reach’s population isn’t far behind Halo 5’s. Retention isn’t looking so good for a 7 month old Halo title.

(I used xbox.com and the population statistics from EA’s games)

…and your evidence to counter his point other than your personal opinion?

Halo 5 population being low should not surprise anyone. If it does surprise you, you need to crawl out from under the rock.

Be careful with this thread, they will lock it and tell you to discuss it in the population thread!

Op could you give a link to where you got it from I know you said xbox.com but could you be more specific.

We have an active population thread, please feel free to use that for further discussion :slight_smile:
