Subject: Half a Billion Games Played!

We've surpassed lots of cool numbers in the past, including numbers of total players, hours played and all that stuff, but we thought we'd note that at  as of around noon today, a half-billion games of Halo 2 have been played on Xbox Live. That's a lot of games.

To clarify - that's actual games, not player-sessions. That also doesn't include games we lost because the website was down, or through other technical issues. Again, this proves that my scheme to attach Halo 2 sessions to my Paypal account would have been genius.

A half billion! WOW!

Halo 2 is not the best game ever. What's the matter with you? Halo 3 is better, lol.

Jeez, Half A Billion?! How did we manage that?!?!

I think this is a big milestone for the H2 Community.

I bet NO other game would be able to keep players entertained for THIS long (except for Halo 3).

Does anyone think we'll hit the billion before Halo 2 comes to the end of it's life?
I reckon' that we'll hit a few billion with Halo 3 before people get bored of it.

Well technically they announced that there were 3,333,333,333 player games. Also when can will someone fix the linking problem, most of the news hasn't had a link to the forums lately?

That was three billion multiplayer games - that is - each player in a game counting towards that three billion figure.. Today's half billion is the number of actual games, regardless of how many players were in 'em.
