My opinion- halo 3 kept over 300k for almost two years . halo reach couldn't keep over 100k for 2 months . reasoning a lack of skill related game play to rank up , too much crap going on EI.. armor abilities and jus crap, be really bad and play the game alot you will be the same rank as the greatest player on earth. you need something to set your goals to you need something to strive for. you need every game to matter , every game must take concentration teamwork skill and dedication. the road to 50 in halo 3 kept you playing every day and when you were a 50 you wanted to be one in another playlist. you wanted to have a nice general sign while your buddy has a brigadier with 2 noob bars underneath. you kept playing to get better to get to 50.
