I knew we'd played a lot, but over a billion games? With so many years of gameplay? It seems impossible to grasp, but with Halo, it's nothing unexpected.

Great job.

JUMP FEET FIRST INTO HELL!!

OMFG!! just the lone fact that halo2 didnt reach one billion games played and the games been out since 05. a time were no game what so ever came close to taking halo2 from its top spot. ot to mention how long its been out before halo3 came out. yet halo3 has been out for 2 years and there have been more games played in less time.

example:

halo2: games played: 7,551
halo2 kills:64,299
halo2 deaths:50,472
halo2 assists:18,598

halo3 games payed:4,812
halo3 kills: 55,626
halo3 deaths:40,061
halo3 assists: 19,648

those are my stats for both games. damn im catching up to my H2 games.

Did the players in that game get anything special for being the billionth game?

  • 03.03.2009 9:50 AM PDT

More than 64000 years worth of Halo 3?

What else can I say... Ohemgy!

  • 03.03.2009 9:51 AM PDT

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Damn!

Something is wrong with the math. If you divide 1 billion games into 2 trillion seconds, that's 2000 seconds per game, which comes out to 33.33 minutes, which is 5-10 times as long as the average game.

We addressed that in the article. For the time metric, it's all player time. If two players play in the same game for one minute, we record two minutes of playtime. For the one billion games, it's a tally of unique games, no matter how many players participated.

Well, I am just glad, very glad, to say I am far too large a part of it.

My contribution is probably like, you know, a couple weeks of play time, and about a day's worth of respawning. Lol.

  • 03.03.2009 12:15 PM PDT

Wow, if Halo 3 just hit a billion, then what must GoW and Cod4 be on?

  • 03.03.2009 12:19 PM PDT

An event of this kind deserves at least a message, Bungie trillion thanks to you for incredible game, I have enjoyed 6 years as a girl with a new toy with the Halo saga, every day playing with friends in a live halo 3 and I think more and more unbelievable, I have a thousand and one times to remember laughing with my friends with this game, I have put my bit in this great record that you have in your hands, your hands and how much this still remains to be offering you guys THANK YOU

Very Nice, I'm just dissapointed that I haven't had a chance to play lately

  • 03.03.2009 12:48 PM PDT

we just need to get it up 6 bill more

  • 03.03.2009 1:07 PM PDT

Follow the Don @Don_Gino you know where
Don't mistake my kindness for something else

Love you guys at Bungie and LOVE Halo!! That's why I have played 7,658 games of Halo 3 by the time of this post (not all were on this account obviously!!) and have played 15,142 of Halo 2 (7026 on this name alone!) all over Xbox Live. This may explain why I am nearly crippled in both hands...(lol?) My First online match was December 31, 2004 and I have been hooked ever since. Thank you for the games and I hope they keep coming.
I have met several people that have become close friends because of Halo and Xbox Live and I hope that the people that made these games, besides just those of us who play them, realize how special of a thing that we have here.
So thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you; I truly appreciate what you guys have made for us and I am so happy to have been a part of those matches. WOW!!! 1,000,000,000!!!
Thanks and take care.
