"Halo 4: I Get a Woman!" - Sgt. Mjr. A.J. Johnson, RIP

And yet, the most I ever see in REACH (it's been this consistent since 2010) is 100,000 at most, and less than 1000 at minimum.
And when H3 was popular it had more than that for years, and sustained it even after new CoD games came out.
The best answer to this is that Halo's popularity in general is falling, so we'd better hope that 4 isn't a pile of shit. :downs:

Actually, this far in H3 had a similar, sometimes smaller daily player count. Reach has around 300K daily, while at this point in its life H3 had between 250 and 300K.

This. People don't realize that Halo 3's player counter was the daily amount of player and not the real-time counter we have in Reach.

Also, I have never seen Reach be at less than 1000 players... The lowest it goes nowadays is around 40 000 players online, but that's at around 2am or in the middle of a weekday.

Where exactly are you getting that number? Bungie doesn't host stats anymore, and I don't recall a global player count in-game. If it's Waypoint, well, I can't stand that sluggish bag of shit.

Just judging from the numbers I see when I play the game.

SELECTION.

L2 be descriptive. I can't L2ReadMinds. Especially when they think in schmuck.

Selection implies something, an item of some sort, that you actually select. You don't select the title bar in Reach. It updates based on your selection. There are also two numbers that are displayed within it. The total (ie, global) number of players is on the right, playlist on the left.

Translation to verbose English, from schmuck: "Shows global player count in in the MP title bar, along with the selected playlist's local number".

Korn, I think they're just going through each section and adding them all together to reach (ha!) the total number of players online.
