Guys.....what the hell just happened? Let me run through the history of gaming so far. Halo 3(2007) average number of players on line from 2007-2008 were about 800,000-900,000. November, 15, 2009(D-DAY for halo 3..lol] Almost every player i knew got Mdoern Warfare 2, and halo 3's population went down about 400,000. Sure it was a pretty cool population of players but most of it went on to another video game. As time went by people quit halo 3( the most revolutionary video game of the time for new xbox live player). People got bored and got off xbox or went on to modern warfare 2. Sure modern warfare was a desent game but then i heard people saying that halo is dead and it sucks. I was like what the hell? Then as time went by .......September, 14, 2010(Halo reach release date). Halo reach was amazing and still is but when i first got on the release date i was surprised to see only 800,000 people online go down and down. eventually only about 300,000 people were on mosrt of the time. I checked out halo 3 for a little yesterday and found something shoking. Even after modern warfare 2s release and halo reachs release.....There were over 800,000 players on Halo 3? After all that hatred and other games out there, people would rather get on halo 3. Can soemone tell me if theres something special there or something. Not saying its not a good game, it was the best of my time....but why get on now?
