The 343 Industries shooter exclusive to PC and Xbox consoles is at its worst on the Valve platform with a considerable drop in players compared to its premiere.

I don't know why people feel surprised xyz game lost 99% of it's playerbase. Yeah, that shit happens to literally every single game, only really freaking popular games like Fortnite or Apex Legends maintain a solid playerbase for years, people will get tired of most games and move on after a while. In fact, I'd be surprised only if Infinite somehow still maintained a really big playerbase since release.

Halo was a legit competitor to cod just past a decade ago.

Now you can’t even compare them because COD is bigger than ever while halo is a shadow of its former self.

Infinite really could have been a partial comeback for halo if they had a steady stream of content after launch, but somehow they added even less than most non-live service games.
