You're only making the thread more popular by commenting in it. Just let this thread die if it offends you so much.

5th place is considered a flop now-a-days? Sheesh, this is as bad as 80% being an "average" MetaScore!

It doesn't offend me, I just don't see why you made it. How about taking on board my constructive criticism? If you added all the relevent information in the OP the thread would turn out much better. Sure there's some good points raised if you dig through all the crap. But this basically comes across as on verge of open trolling.

It would be nice if people noticed something interesting, did some research then posted their findings instead of formulating a post then scrambling for any information they can find to support some dodgy OP that wasn't really based on anything at all other than a desire to stir up trouble.

That may or may not be the case but I can tell you it's what a lot of people will be thinking right now, instead of what you might want them to be giving some thought to - which surely is a win win for all if you did this?

That's assuming you do want discussion and it's not just about making an Xbox 360 game look bad? It's like all those "doomed" threads, there's nothing wrong with them at all when they have some clear evidence to back them up (contrary to the defensive silly sods that complain about them all the time). Why not just be open and make a thread you can be proud of and people will respect you for?

I already said why people aren't playing Halo 4 in my first post; and it's really not any of the reasons you listed. You're reasons are semi-valid because there are a few people that don't play because of those points, but those people are by large, in the minority.

This was posted in twitter five days ago... the lowest record was 30,310 in 04/04.

^^ I wonder where it will level off at?

Another video saying Halo 4 MP population is dead.

In twitter there a lot of comments about the dead population... in GAF some users already started to talk about that... I think in some days or weeks the web will have a lot of "articles" about that.

So I have a question now...

Can the new DLC maps save the Halo 4 MP? I think it is out today.

Another question... are there active Halo 4 MP users here in VGC?

I just got off from playing neew maps and new playlists for the last 4 hours.  Good times.  Good games, all aroudn except the last match was laggy as heck.  Fun new maps.  New multi-team 6 teams of 2 is a chaotic blast with a buddy.  

I want to try the new maps but I don't know if my roommate will buy it .

Edit - I'm reading the first impressions... some guys thinks these are the best maps in Halo 4... some said that remember Halo 2 (and that's a good thing).

Jesus, this thread was an amazingly hilarious read.

Offtopic, I hate the new minecraft, preferred the old one pre hunger a lot more, hence the purchase of the 360 version when I already had it on pc. So much easier and relaxing on 360 IMO rather than sitting on the computer, and decent servers just to play take days to find.
