The Halo 2 player count stat that blew my mind last night

Was digging through Bungie's old archived stats for a clan recruitment post and found that Halo 2's peak online player count back in 2007 hit over 200,000 concurrent on Xbox Live, but now on the Insignia server we're lucky to get 300 on a Saturday night. That drop is brutal, but it actually made me realize how dedicated the remaining crew is. I've been playing on Insignia for about 4 months now with a group from Ohio and Texas, and the lobbies are small but everyone knows each other. Anyone else checked the old stats and felt weirdly proud of the tiny community that's left?

Used to think 200k was the only thing that mattered about Halo 2, but seeing 300 people still show up every weekend kinda flips that. Those numbers say more about loyalty than the old ones ever did.
