Why the hell are people celebrating? Major Nelson duped us all. Why? Because he should have grabbed the LIVE activity of the week of Oct. 21, or more around the time Halo 3's FTP session began. I am not surprised in any way that Halo 3 is above Halo 4. I expected this. What I didn't expect is that they'd be so close together, much less next to each other. I guarantee that around the week that Halo 3 became free, it was in the top 10, and Halo 4 was below number 15. Of course, Major Nelson decided to cap around the time where Halo 3 was calming down, and Halo 4 was going back up due to, oh, I don't know... THE FACT THAT 343i DIDN'T WANT TO UPDATE THE HALO 3 PLAYLISTS, YET HAD THE -blam!-ING AUDACITY TO ADD AN UPDATE TO TELL PEOPLE TO PLAY HALO 4! I'm incredibly dissatisfied right now. 343i shills are now going to have some bauched statistic to show that Halo 3 "wasn't all that good". It's bullshit, and nobody should be celebrating. Instead, how about asking Major Nelson for the Live activity for the week of October 15 through October 22.

Bungie Community's reaction in a nutshell

[quote]11. Halo 3 12. Halo 4[/quote]You hear that? That's the sound of 343 and the defense force crying into their keyboards.

Edited by Verachi: 11/8/2013 7:51:10 AMI've been waiting for this list to come out! Damn I thought Halo 3 was going to do better then that.
-
How is halo 4 behind Halo 3 when the latter had about 50k more players?
-
Skyrim is still in top 20. -blam!- yeah.
-
Battlefield 4 can't even beat a 2 year old CoD game lol
-
Fifa.... -blam!-ing really.

[quote]4. FIFA 14[/quote] wat

YEEEAAAAAHHH. This honestly cheers me up a little. I think I might actually start looking into buying XBL to play Halo 3, I thought it was far more dead than this.
-
I love seeing Halo 3 above Halo 4. 3>4 [spoiler]At least when it comes to competition.[/spoiler]

Edited by Wonderbread: 11/8/2013 3:39:19 AMNot really surprising, Halo 3 was just a better game. Combine that with being free and you'll see a huge population boost. Really the only thing that Halo 4 does better that has an effect on gameplay is netcode, and you can't really fault a 6 year old game for having worse netcode then a one year old game.

Seems fitting enough. Also: lolReach.

Edited by Mr Funland: 11/8/2013 4:24:06 AMMost people left H3 a few weeks after it is free.It seems to be 12-15k peaks every day

-
I've still never met anyone who plays sports games regularly.

[quote][b]11. Halo 3[/b] [b]12. Halo 4[/b][/quote] Those who said this day would never come, what do they have to say now?

Edited by ZealotSG: 11/7/2013 5:48:40 PMH3 is simply more enjoyable. H3 has been available for a long time now not to mention you still have to buy the map packs to play most playlists, so all free Gold did was give it a bit more publicity. Also, it has Campaign Theater. Enough said.
