See my above post. It is impossible to say that the population is exclusively the result of people not liking the game or style. It could be that, it could be Halo in general, it could be other games.
You can try to justify it all you want, but it's a reality. This is the quickest halo 4 has ever dropped. You can say it's fatigue, or that other games are popular, but I see the sheer dislike on HaloGAF, gamefaqs, waypoint, etc. I see the low numbers. I see the msrp officially dropped so quick guys like cliffyb take note. It's number 4 and dropping. When it was number 2, guys like you and ozzy said it was the 2nd most played game, CoD was naturally going to be ahead. When it got beat by minecraft, you guys said minecraft is only a 1600 point game, more people can afford it and play it etc. Now that it's behind fifa, you say Europe loves its football and that it's to be expected etc.
When is the writing going to be on the wall for you guys? I know you think everyone is salty, but I don't know if you lurked or were here during the days of halo 2 and 3, the very same guys who you say only troll were the most passionate fans.
If it falls to number 5 next week, what's the excuse then? And yes I still play everyday. But the amount I play is nowhere close to the amount I played even reach. H4 frustrates me if I play more than 4-5 matches at a time. None of my friends play it and I was playing the previous games with them almost until the launch of the new one.
This is HaloGAF and for every person who likes the game, there are twenty people who don't. That shouldn't happen, especially after reach. But hey I'm just a junior, what do I know.
