The game is dead

[Penitent Intent]

Cant find a big team battle match at 2 am pacific time on my days off. Even got a message to try another game mode. Not in my 24 years of halo have I seen this message. Its cooked folks game over.

[Dementia gaming]

Big emphasis on "2 am"

[Nachtmahr]

Yea.. i literally uninstalled. My Halo days are over

[( ￣ω￣.)]

Imagine having issues queuing for firefight of all playlist

[itsalltaxus]

You should try Ranked Arena - it's the most populated playlist

Bro, 2am Pacific is a very unusual time to find a lot of players given the fact that most people up and gaming at that hour are likely not playing Halo. Check Steam Charts and you'll see that there are hardly any Steam players at that hour. Halo simply no longer attracts the kind of crowd who will happily play at 2am Pacific on your days off.

Look at all the 343i shills in the replies when the game has literally less players than the amount of twitch viewership OW has (which is also dead)

[Healing God Ω]

Was dead on arrival sadly

Ah yes, of course, pointing out that a franchise that peaked 15 years ago simply doesn't have enough active players at all hours now means that I'm a shill.

Halo is dead.

Halo Died the day bungie left it.

Hang on. Halo can't be dead.

Isn't there a whole HCS Professional Competition of worldwide aim-assisted controller players who celebrate how good they are at......well, aiming?
I've watched stadiums cheering at all those aim-assisted head shots. There's no dead game going on there. A race to the bottom for PC FPS maybe, but definitely no dead game.

Maybe it's just dead on Steam and MNK. One can only hope, to be honest, considering what modern gaming developers are dishing out as “crossplay”.

I started having issues finding matches within a reasonable time about a year and a half ago. I would search for approximately 30 minutes for a social match. I gave up and played a better game. This game is dead and if you value your time, I wouldn't bother.

Yes is dead top players in steam 2000-3000 at weekends. Dead and boring, prefer Fornite
much more funny than this boring shooter.
