And most of the Halo YouTube community are talking about how half of the community left or how its dying. Great news for the Halo community.

I think we are seeing a pretty big shift in the looks of the community, there are likely a lot of new players that haven't played so much Halo before and that can be hard for old-timers to swallow.
