I mean the population is rather low, but honestly I can’t blame people for giving HALO 4 up there are so many issues that I run into all the time that I’m not even looking for like the spawn system, random gaping holes in the map that show the backdrops on spartan ops and campaign.And don’t get me started on multiplayers sandbox.
So my question is was HALO 4 a flop, and why do you beleave that it was or wasn’t?
IMO yes this was a flop, maybe it’s just a $60 Halo 5 beta but I’m still pretty upset. Honestly there are too many things to list why it’s a flop and quite possibly an incomplete piece of work.
You must have no idea what a flop is. Cause Halo 4 DEFINETLY is not a flop.
A flop?
> You must have no idea what a flop is. Cause Halo 4 DEFINETLY is not a flop.
I mean’t compared to past HALO games kid.

?? Compared to past halo games it’s doing just as well.
A flop is diablo 3. That’s a flop.
2nd most played game on xbl…
A flop does not get $220 million.
Some cool stats

> The numbers don’t lie; what you remember about the Halo 3 player counts is wrong. Those times when Halo 3 had over 200,000 players online were rare occasions. Good luck trying to find a reliable source that shows a day, over one year into Halo 3’s lifespan, when Halo 3 would have had over 200,000 players.

> I used to use that population argument back in the days when Reach was released. But a matter of fact is, I got introduced to the cruel reality, the reality that Halo 3, in fact, didn’t have an exceptional amount of active players over a year after its release. Not compared to Reach or 4.

I’m not calling HALO 4 a flop i’m asking do you feel that it was a flop, with the population declining so rapidly.

Well we won’t really know until all the DLC is released. However, the removal of KOTH is not a good sign. If this trend continues Halo 4 will have the worst population of any Halo game. The population has already declined rapidly.
So it will be game management.

Based off the name and the fact that it’s between $60-$100 a pop, yeah, when compared to past games, it’s a flop. It made $ sure, but it didn’t really set the world on fire.

Um, yea it sold more than all the others that’s 1 point for me.
2nd. it is the second most played and sold game for the month of November. - 2 points
It has much more stiff competition yet still has manegeable pop. #'s. - 3 points
Cod, last time i played (last week), had only around 171k players in the morning that went up to 250k around later in the afternoon. - 4 points
Matchmaking only counts active players in actual games. - 5 points
Pop. counters are never that accurate. - 6 points
I can keep going if you want.
P.S. don’t call me “kid” it doesnt make you seem any more superior to me.
Its the second best Halo IMO.

Almost every game is at least $60. Fact is that it is the second most played game on Xbox Live, it’s no flop. The game is still doing well and will get another boost this Christmas.
It’s not a complete flop, but it definitely didn’t meet my expectations.
