More stuff more info regarding the graphs Graph Five hope this helps
I hope they do those Community Forge Competition things. I loved when they did the race gametype and everyone made a cool racetrack that everyone competed on. Some of them were really creative.

Halo hasn’t been on the PC since Halo 2. I think you’ll be able to stream Halo 5 to a PC, but you won’t be able to buy a PC version. Not for a few years, if at all. They’re trying to sell a console and Halo is the best way to do that.
The most important thing for a long life span right now is an amazing forge, customs and file-sharing system to build a creative community around.
That’s one way you’ll maintain a large population over a long time, where as Halo 5’s multi player alone will only maintain an average population until the next COD or BF is out.
Oh, and bring it to PC. I would have thought that would have been an obvious move with Windows 10.

Honestly, I feel like the x1 should be the last console they should ever make. They should convert the xbox into something similar to valves steam machines except with windows. They can also have them made by them and have them upgradable. That seems to be where they are heading anyway might as well do it in full force. I would love to see halo be high on twitch instead of something like lol(awful game) and cs go.
Hey, just in case you haven’t watched the ‘leaked Warzone menu’ video, go do so.
It shows that there is in fact a file browser.

They want an even playing field because they want everyone to be able to run the latest games and not leave anyone behind because of hardware. Smh they cut many corners on the x1 hardware wise they didn’t make it future proof enough. But streaming is not the same I mean cross plat gaming. Haha h5 could make CS GO disapear if it gets a port!! Can’t forget mod support and better forging. I’m not a PC player but I see the benefits it brings to the table…

Halo on the PC with full mod support + forge would be the best thing that could ever happen to this franchise.
How will swat be in halo 5

> OP, all those things would help (hell, it’s been too long since we’ve had any of those things in any decent form), but I think the main thing is making the gameplay unique. It’s a hell of a year for gaming, but if people have a reason to play Halo 5, they’ll keep coming back. All it needs to do is provide a different itch to scratch and it’ll do decently (a consistant 500k population per day would be good enough nowadays). A lack of a fileshare, good forge or custom game search won’t make people leave the game. Getting an experience that’s similiar to other games will.
reach is probably the 1 halo game where a lot of people didn’t like the game play all that much but the community features were awesome and it had A long life for customs dont underestimate the power of community features.

> > The data seems close enough, but you do understand that these are 24 hour user counts, whereas Halo 4 was counting peak populations? The 24h UU counts are generally about 3 to 4 times the daily peak population. Moreover, when looking at this kind of data, you don’t look at the highest numbers, but the general trend. If you look at the Reach data, it mostly sits at about 700,000 24h UU, which you could generously estimate corresponding to a daily peak of 220,000. Halo 3 in the month a year after its release getting 24h UU counts at around 800,000 or so, which you could generously estimate as a daily peak of 250,000.
> > Halo 3 at launch peaked at around 400,000 a few days after release. Reach may have had a similar or higher peak, but there’s no data pointing one way or the other because nobody was counting (that is, nobody was recording the data given by Bungie). Halo 3 also could’ve broken its launch record at the release of ODST when it reached a record high 1.6 million 24h UU, but again we can only guess what the peak was.
> > Overall, population data from all past Halos is lacking one way or the other. That NeoGAF thread you linked to is bad because it represents bs information with no actual mention of sources. If you’re interested in actual population data from the past, you can go scavenging old Bungie.net front pages at Internet Archive. That’s really the only first hand source there is as Bungie used to have a real time population counter on the front page, and that’s where I’ve sourced all my data from.
> > I’ve spent some time gathering as much data as can be found from old B.net links at the Internet Archive to gather a database that includes all the available population data for Halo 2, Halo 3, and Reach. Additionally I have Halo 4 population data up until year after release because I was lucky enough to save the data from HaloCharts before their Halo 4 population page went away. My plan is to make an analysis of the popularity of Halo and dispel some myths with that data sometimes in the future.

yes it can you obviously never played far cry’s editor have you.

people do buy multiple games you know they dont just stick to 1.

Makes me sad to say it, but I kind of agree. If we end up being wrong though, I’m gonna be poop-myself happy.
