Probably 5,000 in Halo 3, but it's not even my favorite video game. It just had a lot of longevity for me and many friends who continued to play it for years. It was extremely addictive, had a well populated community (it still holds the record for most weeks at #1 of any game on xbox live - second place is Halo 2) and I feel it had a ton of variety and things to do. I just want a Halo game to be like Halo 1, 2, 3, or ODST. And preferably better than any of them. Not a fan of Halo's that came after this. Destiny at first captured the Halo feel, but quickly fell off because the power fantasy was replaced with catering to game journalists and not solving core problems that existed at launch and still exist today. Sure Destiny 2 is a more balanced game, but when Destiny 1 released things like Pocket Infinity actually felt futuristic. It only took a month for that gun to get dragged to the ground. By Taken King the game was getting 9s and they also did a major rebalancing just before with subclasses and guns and completely destroyed the game imo. Blink got some really frustrating cool-down. Then Titan skating was discovered which I also did not want patch, but I just imagine a game that could have both. So when Bungie left Halo I was super excited. They would do something big that looked epic and 343i would pick up the slack. Turned out 343i only had three former Bungie developers out of over 100 employees and Bungie would turn to Activision. I hope that someone can look back at the older Halo games without nitpicking them to death for their flaws and realize what things did work and bring them back into a nice package. Maybe one day. I also want Destiny 3 to go back to Destiny's roots and instead look at why people were really disappointed with the original. Sorry the Taken King storyline was not the missing piece of the puzzle.
