Halo 5 has had the highest monthly active players for a Halo title since Halo 3 (Before the free play period)

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.

I think that's the case. There seems to be a growing disconnect between people who prefer Halo pre-2012 and those weaned on Halo 4 and 5, and modern military shooters in general.

Agreed, and a few of us who actually like them all :). The post-2012 community will likely never reach the levels of how it was during Halo 2 and 3, but it can be lively just the same.
