MW2 numbers over 24 hours are definitely in the millions. MW2 has a vastly larger number of daily and current players than Halo 3. It should turn around once Reach drops though.

| selnor said: Right now on Xbox Live Halo 3 has got 77,349 physically active players. Compared to MW2's 39,300. ( If you ask how I know, just put both games in ) When Reach Beta hits, what do you think Halo 3's numbers will go down to. 16,000 active. 4,000 active. Or more? |
Don't you mean physically inactive players? Or has Halo 3 already implemented Natal and got all those couch potato Halo 3 gamers off their asses and dancing around the living room?

I think Reach is going to jump into the top 5...maybe even the top 3 , but I would not be surprised to see it intially spike to #1...maybe.
Reach will hit number 1 the week it releases. The question is if it can maintain the lead over MW2. The beta will take the number 1 spot for the weeks that it is out as well almost certainly.
i doubt that it only had 39,000 players i have never seen the number below 100,000

Are you talking about the beta or the actual game when it releases this fall?
Yeah both those figures look ridiculously off.
MW2 on PSN has over 400k players logged on some days, and it's online service is meant to have less active players logging in less hours.
I also doubt Halo numbers are that low.
When Halo Reach releases it will defintely take the top spot. A huge amount of players play the game a whole lot to begin with, then after a few weeks/months the numbers die down a bit to more reasonable levels.

Well actually the Halo 3 numbers are legit. less than 2 weeks ago the average number of people playing Halo 3 was around 120k, but recently it dropped (for no apparent reason) to about 75k average...

Ok well I think the beta will definitely be in second place at worst and take MW2 over for first place at best. All it would have to do to get in 3rd would be to beat COD4 which only has an average of 20k players. And it will steal alot of people away from Halo 3 too.
