Halo 4 lost around 76% of it's population.

EDIT: [b]4.December.2012 -[/b] The numbers are still falling, now more than ever.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] lscariot To be fair to 343i, the halo "community" is nothing more than a bunch of [u]neckbeards[/u] who can not, and never will be satisfied with a halo game until it tickles their balls and feeds them cereal as they play.[/quote]What is with all the fat references today? Regardless, I need to write that one down. OT: Black Ops II just came out. Most players went there to try out the new game. Give it a few weeks. Some will be back.
-
They have your money already. 343i could care less.
-
Can I point that even Halo 3's population total dropped this much after its launch week ended. Major releases always see the largest player totals during their launch week. After people beat the game, they move back towards their favorites. The only people who stick with the new game are fans of the series.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] boomdeyadah Yeah, because Halo 4 is terrible.[/quote] I swear I matched up with you on a game of Valhalla. If it is terrible... why were you playing? lol

I agree with him about how it does feel like Halo 3.[/quote]It feels more like a polished Reach, not Halo 3.

Also let me tack something else on here; Halo 2 had virtually no competition during it's prime. It was the same with halo 3. CoD 4 (MW) came out about two months after the release of Halo 3. Even then it was about the only other shooter on the market besides Halo 3. It still took almost three years after Halo 3's release before it was knocked out of the top spot on Xbox live. Just sayin'
-
Okay, I just want to point this out: Everyone uses the argument that CoD didn't create XP systems, loadouts, join in progress, point caps instead of kill caps, etc, and that games have been using such models for years... 343i wasn't inspired by those games, they don't care about those games. Halo 4 is a desperate and pathetic cash grab for the CoD player base.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Xmark120 [url=http://www.halocharts.com/2012/chart/dailypeakpopulation/all]Source[/url]. That's what you get for copying COD and not listening to your community, 343i. [/quote] Wouldn't adopting a formula from one of the most popular franchises of the past 5 years only attract and keep MORE people? Nice logic OP.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] alex0612 Lol, Millions still play Halo 4 daily.[/quote]Millions?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RighteousTyrant OP has apparently never seen post-launch population trends for any game at all, because if he had he would know that this is basically expected. [/quote]Pretty much this.
-
I personally don't see myself playing the multiplayer as much as I thought I would when it first came out. I have just gotten tired of the whole Halo styled multiplayer. Even though they made changes and added new things to it, after a while it just reminded me of Halo: Reach and Halo 3 and I got bored of it.
-
1) It is a week day. 2) Blops 2 just came out 3) The first-week hype fest is over. So tell me how losing a lot of the population is surprising again?
-
itt People trying to justify everyone dropping Halo 4.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DEADPAN7809 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ArtooFeva Hahaha oh yes adding guns to the game is copying COD. Oh the whiners and their lack of good arguments.[/quote][/quote] I guess the perks, custom classes, care packages aka. ordinance drops and everything else Halo never had but cod had were never added to the game and only guns were... Oh wait

Yeah, because Halo 4 is terrible.
-
Lol, Millions still play Halo 4 daily.

I blame cod & casuals. [Edited on 11.29.2012 12:22 PM PST]

Yeah. OP You know when a game is released and millions of people buying it, they are of course going to all spend the first few days putting in a lot of hours. Anytime following launch week, even after a few days, the amount of people playing at the same time then drops dramatically because everyone returns to their regular schedule. Are you new?

The only significant drop is seen when BLOPS 2 came out, and that was largely expected. This has happened to every Halo game post-release.

OMGS GUISE NOT BAJILLIONZ OF PPLS ONLINE SAME TIME AS ME HALO 4 IS DED DED

He's comparing it to today's population count, of course it's going to be less; it's only 3 pm on a Thursday.
