I also maintain that Chrome is weaksauce, and IE9 is fast and works very well

We have to kill about 13,000,000 Grunts a day. So far today, about 2,500,00 Grunts have been killed. Looks like we have to increase our Grunt slaughtering by a factor of about 5.

I see you are saying Grunt Infantry and Grunt Specialists.

Does ODST firefight count? Bonus round features a lot of Grunts apparently.

Its not like the community has a choice to participate people. If you play Firefight,you're part of the challenge.

And 3 Billion over 2 year span (CAMPAIGN ONLY)
4 Billion more, but with a mode that you could kill over 200 (low number in my opinion) a day?

EDIT: Recalculating
289 days
3,314,097,786 Grunts to kill
11,467,466 A DAY

Just needed to clarify this real quick.
Jake92 played one game of Firefight on Normal and got 32 grunt kills. In one firefight session, we don't even know how long that is. So if you have thousands of people playing, it'll easily be accomplished.

If you still dont think this can be accomplished..
616,290 unique Halo 3 players have logged on today.
Take ODST and all the pre-orders and the online buzz.. I'd say we could get 200,000 people.

So if we take those 200,000 people, and they get 10 grunt kills in a match, thats 2 million.
How many matches do you think can be played in a day?
How many grunts do you think on average will be killed a match?

If we get 200,000 people to kill 200 grunts a day.. that is 40 million.

It will take 42 days.
So half the amount of people.
That is 84 days.
So half the kill amount to 100
That is 168 days.
Do you think that only 100,000 people will play firefight, and only 100 grunts a person will get killed? I sure dont.

So urk.. rethink your statement perhaps?

I love you.

Hell yes I'm in. I'll be slaughtering more and more grunts by the minute.

  • 09.17.2009 1:59 AM PDT

Those poor Grunts don't know what is coming.

This sounds.... EPIC!

  • 09.17.2009 2:47 AM PDT

We're half way there. How could we possibly loose!

We should all get recon for this if we succeed! Oh wait, yeah, nevermind...

Incidently, how do you view how many grunts have been killed overall and so on?

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

Congratulations! You've just made me want to play firefight and kill those little grunts again and again and again!

  • 09.17.2009 3:08 AM PDT

Of Course I will help you beta test your sweet software :3.
<3 Bungie.

Those silly grunts gon'wish they never messed with us!
ALRIGHT YOU GREENHORNS LISTEN UP!
On the 22nd i want all you pesky marines to get your BEE-hinds on to firefight, and hunt those grunts like chinese takeaways!
NOW GO!

Hmm ok I will start my Halo 3 campaign and kill what I see moving.

We might even make a dent in the population...let's do it!

SEVENTH COLUUUUUUUUUUMN!

As earlier calculated, 7 billion should be ridiculously easily and quickly achieved once firefight dropped. Many Halo 3 Players played the campaign 4 or 5 times then switched to matchmaking and never looked back, but with ODST the mode they will switch to is firefight, where you kill more grunts than ever before.
I suggest the kill count is raised to 7,777,777 grunts. While not much, it's 7 7s, so, yeah. :P

My talents include always knowing the wrong thing to say.

Twitter!

"Men, we led those dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep 'em from gettin' their filthy claws on Earth. But, we stumbled onto somethin' they're so hot for, that they're scramblin' over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own personal anti-son-of-a--blam!- machine, or a giant hula hoop, we're not gonna let 'em have it! What we will let 'em have is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in! Am I right, Marines?"
