halo 3 used to have hundreds of thousands of people on at any time! and before reach (3years) Halo had more than 200,000 players on... And reach is struggling to get 150,000 in the first year...Sad sad sad
I also notice how alot of players on reach are people who have never played halo 3 or 2. I always check player cards legacy and no one usually has any halo 3 games played. I have 5000 games played( dont hate its just a fun game) I dont really see true halo fans who have been supporting from the start playing reach. And those are the people 343i needs to bring back.....
I remember when i used to play halo ce online(PC version) and it was the most fun i had in any game! You could go on Halocustom maps .org or something like that and download a map file and play it on your game with 15 other people! And I suggest a custom game server were you match make players trying to find a custom game that other players are hosting!
