If you look at the top played Xbox One games right now, Halo 5’s already second. Well, that was fast.
The lack of content (i.e. maps and playlists) drops the continuing playability to mundane levels.
I just can’t find the time to game on weekdays 
It’s a shame they didn’t have a special event this weekend. I think that would have brought more people in.
thats because multiplayer still feels like a beta with the lack of maps and gametypes
People are still in school at this time OP. Give it a rest, the population isn’t dropping.
I expect the numbers to fluctuate a lot over the next few months.
Lots of new games being released. Number of players will go up and down as people leave and come back

This. I specifically took days off work because I don’t have time to play during the week. Have to adult. Why do I always have to adult?!
Wait until Black Ops, Battlefront and Fallout 4 release.
if halo 5 was that good people would have skipped school to play it
I stopped playing after my friends and I beat the story missions. I’m American, work in Asia, and ping restrictions make it so we can’t play together. I host their ping is too high, or if they host mine is too high. What makes it ridiculous is that if I solo play I’m matched with players in the US and Europe anyway. Game is now worthless to us, and doubt we will be getting Halo 6 for the same reason. Back to Titanfall, GTA, BF3, BF4, and ESO.

I imagine it is. Personally I’ve gone back to MCE because of the lack of social game types.

Thats a really stupid way of calling halo 5 bad.
You do realize people have actual responsibilities right?

I skipped work to play it. School Ha, I wish I was still in school.
if school and work is affecting halo 5 population why isnt it affecting other games?

Because other games already have established player bases.

That doesn’t make sense. I guess that only affects Halo 5? Because that never affects other games’ population.

I will break it down for you. People missed school and work last week to play the game.Hence causing a huge spike in the game population. This week thats not happening it only makes sense that it WOULD Drop when compared to the prior week. Other games have established stable player bases already.

Not a lack of maps, it’s just the map rotation sucks.
