[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Darth Nirobot Well, the Beta has been a major success in terms of online population, but wasn't Bungie and Microsoft expecting at least 3 million players?. If you think about it, it's a considerable let down, expecting 2 more million players than what was actually achieved.[/quote] We saw 1 million players in the first 12 hours. Plenty more since and we're just now hitting the weekend. I wouldn't worry about player population. ;)
