Population was 88k today, that’s ridiculous. Mw3 has a higher population than this CoD game. People are getting tired of this ame, and noobs will take over. By January Halo 4 is going to be 50-60k tops, next year this game will be 11-12k. It’s faster to find a match in Reach for crying ou loud. This game=biggest dissapointment of 2012.
Maybe they are all playing Halo 3 because according to this forum that’s the greatest Halo ever, possibly one of the best games ever.
Oh wait they aren’t.
Halo 4 is fine and you guys worry about pop count WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY too much.
Oh…this thread again…

Halo 3 had over 200,000 people playing at any given moment and over 1,000,000 people playing daily TWO YEARS post release. Halo 4 can’t even pull 100,000 on a Saturday during Holiday Break. If that’s not a problem for a game, I don’t know what is.

I don’t feel like digging up the link again. There are web-archives of Bungie.net that show the population of days back in 2009. I’ve posted them on this forum since the beginning of Reach.
I know a few fans that aren’t playing whereas everyone and their mum used to be on Halo 3, and even quite a few on Reach. I know there’s a ton of threads all complaining. I know I’m upset by the ethics of microsoft and 343 and won’t be endorsing the next gen. They can find another cash cow to milk.
Someone please make a hate website so everyone can just post there when they rage about whatever. Constructive posts are few and far between on waypoint and I actually like some of the people here.
Please go away.
blah blah blah population blah. I never have a problem finding a match.

No it did not. Stop pulling random numbers out of your -Yoink-.

So I’ve heard and I’ve seen the charts. But Halo 3 was also in a VERY different environment. Halo 4 at peek hours is usually between 100k to 150k when you include SOps and in the current gaming environment I think that’s pretty good.
Found the link.

I still play Halo 3 cause frankly, it’s a better game. It’s got a strong population tonight at 10k players. Still impressive for a game that came out in '07
As long as one person is playing Halo 4, it will survive.
I agree 100% OP and glad to see some mature people in this thread.
Oh, I just remembered why I don’t come on these forums anymore. It’s just a big melting pot of unnecessary negativity and hate, and it’s impossible to have any sort of conversation outside of pointless arguing, let alone a meaningful one. What’s the point of a forum when I can’t even have an enjoyable conversation on it?
Hint: Forums aren’t help desks, so don’t bother saying it’s so you people can -Yoink- and moan about your stupid first world problems like you’re actually entitled to anything at all.

Oh God, don’t ask for proof. All he’s just gonna pull up the population chart that everyone bases their crap on. It only shows War Games population. It doesn’t account for any other things in the game. For all we know we could have a million people playing right now, but just playing customs, Spartan Ops, Campaign, Forge, ect.
I don’t think the game will last. I’m enjoying it for now, but I don’t see myself playing in like half a year or so. It just doesn’t have that lasting power.
I agree 100% with the OP. No, the population charts do not account for players who are in campaign and spartan ops, but neither do the Halo3, Reach, or CoD population charts. The game’s multiplayer sucks really hard and the charts speak for themselves. Don’t use the “population charts aren’t showing non-wargames players” argument. None of the other games did. Halo 4 is the biggest fail of 2012 videogames.
I agree with OP, this game feels so repetitive and I’m ranking towards nothing. No other Halo felt this boring, I think a major part is the lack of 4v4 maps and no ranking system. If the TU fails in January this game is dead and there is no need to make a Halo 5. Already bought Black Ops 2, and I really did not want to go back to COD, but this game failed on a lot of levels
