In Response To: Re: Why We Should Never Go Back to 1-50.. or (zonemanwilf)


: The Halo 3 Team Slayer ranked list has a higher population than Reach Team
: Arena - right now. That is not a healthy position for Reach.

Reach and 3 count population in different ways. 3 accumulates count over a lot of hours, when Reach is counting who is searching and playing at that moment.

In fact, Halo 3's in-game population numbers have been broken and blatantly wrong since those servers were moved onto Reach's, like playlists totalling to twice the amount of "Total" players on the menu when you count them up. Most of the last DEXPs always read 0 population, Team Slayer was stuck at 37,539 for 3 weeks, etc..

The only accurate population count left is here:

http://www.bungie.net/online/default.aspx

178,242 players over the last 24 hours for Halo 3
334,655 games recorded by those players
26,000 players online in-game for Halo 3 (but not "now")

http://www.bungie.net/stats/reach/online.aspx

803,695 players over the last 24 hours for Reach
2,165,600 games recorded by those players
98,855 players online "now" in-game for Reach

fake edit: and loading up Halo 3 again. Of note, the population in the lobby and the population you get while searching is still wildly different and broken. Lobby is reporting a few thousand more than actually playing.. which still indicates those servers are still broken (the numbers should be the same or within a hundred or so of each other). Going by the searching population:

Lone Wolves: 2,290
Team Slayer: 4,810
Team Doubles: 1,212
Team Snipers: 812 (Pressing X in lobby claims over 5,000.. wow!)
Team Swat: 828

7 on 7th: 425

Rumble Pit: 511
Social Slayer: 8,830
Social Skirmish: 224
Action Sack: 316
Multi Team: 1760
Team Mythic: 322
Social Big Team: 1124

All of these numbers are more than likely going to be exactly the same when I load up Halo 3 two days from now. The only population numbers possible to compare directly to each other are the Games Over 24 Hours and Players Over 24 Hour counts on Bungie.net for Reach, 3, and ODST.
