Why do you have to be so defensive? Compared to 3 it's not doing too well in that regard. I don't agree with calling it a flop but clearly there's an issue.

Its just a dumb argument. The arguments get dumb responses.

Mmmhmmm... thank you for no proof to back your argument.

Also, don't you Sony fans usually agree popularity doesn't necessarily equal quality?

Even if it was more active that doesn't mean its better. Are you favorite games just the most popular games? Ofcourse not, you would just be plaing Call of Duty all day.

Last time I played Halo 3 (less than a year ago) the population stats showed ~26k at night... is is the same the Halo 4 is geting in the recent nights.

Halo 3 after 5 years have the same numbers than Halo 4 after 5 months.

Bullshit, it hasn't been doing much more than 5K for a long time now.

Do the stats exist or are we gonna keep hearing you anecdotal evidence?

Bullshit? You need to enter in the game to see... I can't play it today... the playlists still shows over 20k players.

2011 Numbers... Halo 4 today had less than 500k uses per day

This guy make goods points why the Halo 4 MP is dead.

Spartan Ops and Single Player are separated from multiplayer.

They're still counted in the Xbox Live activity charts.

This is getting silly. People are trying to prove that being less popular than Halo3 makes it a flop. Halo has much biggest competition now than it had in the days of Halo3.

But in any event, it isn't remotely "a flop". Less popular than Halo3? Maybe.... But it's still very very popular. Something that is very very popular and is probably in the top 2 when the correct stats are viewed isn't a flop.

Exactly. Before, Halo was THE game to beat. Now, it has trouble beating a 2 year old Call of Duty which people call the worst in the series.....

Even if that's correct,.. It still doesn't make it a flop.  Flop was a ridiculous word to use. 

I agree but try to read beyond the title.

Just popped in Halo 3, "2036 Gamers Online." I even looked through the matchmaking list. in ranked list I saw about 500 players. In social list i saw about 600 players. Like I assumed, you were bullshitting. Even when I was playing pre Halo 4 I saw maybe 5K.

Is this our best source? A picture from photobucket that just shows numbers but no explantation of what the numbers are?

For what its worth, this still isn't bad for 5+ year old game.

lol you are in denail... Halo 3 MP is more popular than Halo 4... Halo 3 number in the last five years are better than Halo 4.... just because in 2013 it is not (and I have doubts).
