: AFAIK it's dropping faster than the previous Halos. This kinda puts things
: into perspective just how people feel about Halo 4's multiplayer :(

It's hard to tell what exactly it's doing. We actually can't establish good numbers yet, as Halo 4 is just now starting to become as old as Reach was when DEEP NNN started making population reports. And even then the market conditions and time of year are going to have an effect. It's very much expected that populations should drop off fast early on in a game's life, if it's in a competitive market (Halo 2 had a slow dropoff, but it wasn't having its boat rocked very much).

That said, this month should be an interesting time for the gaming industry/market/whatever. Halo 4's boat was stabilizing a little bit ago, but it does seem prone to being rocked.
