Bungie: 1b Online Halo 3 Matches Played
By Kris Graft
Halo house Bungie has announced a major milestone for the blockbuster Halo 3.
After over a year of availability, the game has hosted over 1 billion online matches on Xbox Live, the developer said.
What put Halo 3 over the billion mark was a four-person, three minute, 19 second Infection match on the Foundry map. Total matchmaking time equaled over 2 trillion seconds, or 64,109 years of playtime.
By comparison, Halo 2 for the original Xbox currently boasts 798 million total matches played.
"We're in awe of the success Halo 3 has been met with, but we're not done yet. Stick around and stay tuned, there's definitely more to come," read Bungie's website.
Later this year, the studio plans to release Halo 3: ODST, which puts players in the boots of a less-than-Spartan "Orbital Drop Shock Trooper."
I must admit im not a Halo fan in any way...... But hey A FEW people must like it!!!!
