But what I’m saying is, we’re already losing heaps of players by the day because of how bad and frustrating the game is. When -Yoink!-’s Tournament ends, how many more do we lose? 5k-15k?
I’m only bringing this up because I have been frustrated by the amount of noobs I keep getting stuck with, despite being an SR79 with 9,000 kills and 5,500 deaths. <mark>The playlists are already lacking numbers, which is crazy, since 343 originally designed the shortened playlist options as a way to make search times short and matches more even (the alternative, aka a billion playlists would wind up like Spartan Ops, an unplayable lagfest)</mark>.
Instead I have been playing a ton of CTF lately in an attempt to get the 45 win challenge, and every game there are kids riding Mongooses/Warthogs in circles or wasting precious sniper ammo without a kill.
This is what happens when the game is catered towards the wrong audience.
I’ve already quit the game so I can’t say anything about the population, but I genuinely believe the population decline is another signal that this game is a sinking ship.

If the game was as fun and rich as it used to be, the numbers would be there to support it.
They certainly wouldn’t be falling this quickly 2.5 months after launch.

Pretty much
Halo 3 had a very strong population for a long time, the decline wasn’t anywhere near as steep as this and it’s funny really, people are always coming up with excuses, it’s funny really.
Another reason for decline is the amount of people modding the game. I got shot threw a wall and died wth. And what is with the scoring. I had 74000 + points on the leader board this morning now I check it and I’ve dropped 200 spots and lost 30000 pts get your crap together 343. Cheaters are excelling and those of us playing fair are paying for it

This tournament defines the new standard for Halo.
It’s not how good you are. It’s how often you play. Beyond the game playing a lot means more (ugly) armor, and (to destroy the even playing field) specializations.
You also have to think of it like this. The tournament is bringing in players, convincing folks that Halo’s War Games Matchmaking is popular.

Well maybe when it’s over the Jack #*ses will leave and we’ll be left with normal fans of the game
