Gears 3 pretty much has a peak population of under 10,000 in every playlist combined on a daily basis, but it's still no problem finding a match in the non-specialty playlists. The game is having a rather sad population decline, but you won't have trouble getting into matches any time soon.

Reach's title update caused its population to spike.
