: I know you don't have access to those numbers, but I just want it known.
: Someone in the GAF thread was saying Halo 3/Reach had over a million peak
: users - those were daily figures. At least as far as I remember.

The numbers are the only ones I had access to. If 343 would have published 24 UUs for Halo 4, we'd be able to make a direct comparison.

However, the turnover Halo 4 would need to achieve anywhere near 3/Reach's UUs would mean matchmaking would need to be composed of an entirely new set of players every half hour. The Nelson Live activity chart movement lines up with Halo 4's peak population dive as well. The indicators are all pretty good for us to infer at that point.

I would have worded that part of the post better, but I wrote it when I was super tired and now it's been quoted everywhere.
