I suspect the MP of Halo is a lot more popular than the SP, especially now months after release when most people have already finished the campaign (if they were interested in it in the first place). So 200k+ vs. sub 100k MP and maybe ~150k or so total. Dota 1 was huge for many many years and now Dota 2 is huge. Wouldn't be surprised to see Dota 2 get 30m+ players once it's officially released. |
dota players just sit hours without break in the game, same with other strategical games. it's pretty clear that this increases the players at the same time amount enormous.
and not sure why you think singleplayer and co-op isn't that big in halo but the challeneges alone let many people play it all the time. many people play custom matches which is multiplayer but not in the stats because it only counts matchmaking. many people replay their matches, just sit in a lobby or forge something, some people might play spec-ops, some online, some alone. i would bet with you that more people who are in halo atm are not in an online match right now and if they just have a chat with someone and don't really play.
and dota 2 beta, yes it is big but they have 3 million unique users per month and that is not that much bigger as everything else like many often say.
