It been two months and the highest I have seen it this week was 5th place . I want to know the population out of curiosity nothing more does anyone know, I don’t want assumption just a straight answer I couldn’t find any source so far they stopped showing population after Halo 4 for some reason?
Look at the Battlefront population stats and you can make a ballpark estimate from there.

For a game with less content then halo 5 with even more Microstranaction to have a bigger population that’s just shameful

Thats what happens when you dont do anything to appeal to the largest part of your community (the casual crowd). They will move on to other games that are easier and more casual.
Halo’s time as the biggest shooter has been over since Halo 3, so it will really appeal to a niche crowd from now on with the emergence of easier to play shooters like Battlefront and CoD. There are probably around 50,000 players on at any given time, but I can’t see it ever really breaking the top 5, which is fine as long as the population can be sustained. The drop over the first two months was pretty severe, but it seems to be plateaued now.
I don’t get this hang up on population… what does something have to be popular for you to play and enjoy it? It’s simple… if you like it and enjoy playing it then play it… if you don’t move on to something else. Population doesn’t matter. I was playing the older halos long after others deemed it “dead” online… heck I still play and lasted played action sack on MCC and had an awesome time and mcc population is way way worse than H5. H5 is usually some where in the top ten Xbox live most played and what’s wrong with that?
Halo 5 is trash and they’re too embarrassed to have a population counter any more.

Go cry somewhere else.
Battlefield 4 is still completely playable and that’s nowhere near top 10…As well as Garden Warfare…Gears of War…etc…
Halo 5 is in a great spot for a console exclusive

Hit a nerve, did I? You know I’m right.

My point exactly. The only reason population should really be an issue is if it keeps you from playing the game (as in playlists being population, etc.). 50k at any given time is still pretty damn good. It certainly isn’t dead. Also, with them pumping out content monthly, I don’t see the population going down sharply anytime soon. Besides, this is how most games go anyway, they have a lot of people playing the first few months (if they’re lucky) and then they die out. Halo is no exception, except for the fact that there will still be a pretty stable population until Halo 6.

Actually, population matters a great deal for most multiplayer games. The more people playing, the more likely you are to get matched with people your skill level. The more people the more likely your connection in the game will be smoother. Instead of being matched with people across an ocean constantly.
I think I remember reading somewhere that they apparently sold about 3m copies as of December, I’d be surprised if the population hits anywhere near 100k active

I enjoy the game, the problem is that the population is lower because people think different Halo is bad. I really wish some of my old friends hadn’t left. 343 just has to work on either getting a new group or bringing back the old crowd…

Pretty much this
I’m constantly getting high latency matches and matched with players out of my skill level- that is why population matters
Where the hell does everyone find these population stats because I’m starting to think I might be a moron.

There is no official pop. stat for H5, just look up the battlefront po. stats for xbox one and it’ll give you a ballpark figure since H5 is usually right under it on the top 10 most played on xbone

Because Halo 4 was such a roaring success. No thanks…
