Yes.

500,000,000 games played... $39 at target

353,000,000 games played when someone hit the standby button...$109 at Fry's Electronics

146,999,999 games played with modders... $19.99 (Action replay)

1 game played legit... Priceless


Congratulations Bungie, how many Xbox live accounts have been created for modding?
Is microsoft giving you a piece of all those profits?

I sure hope so

Thats not a pic from halo 3.

the mcdonalds thing is a reference to how mcdonalds signs say "9 billion served" or whatever.

a half a billion games is a lot. i dont think that will ever be passed unless Halo 3 is as good as everyone makes it out to be.

i definitely agree with king_of_beavers, he made a good point. Halo 2 really did have potential at first. It looked like it was going to be as good a game, maybe better than Halo CE (one of the best games ever made in its genre), but it seems that bungie had a different idea in the first place for the game...too bad...

HOly CrAp that is <bleep>ing insane! I doubt that even games like counterstrike made that record. WOOOOOOOOOOOOW. whatever money microsoft lost by selling xbox they are getting it back right here.


1. I'm sure many more games of counterstrike have been played than games of halo 2.
2. Microsoft doesn't get more money because of the amount of games we play. They get it by selling games of halo 2 and xbox live subscriptions, both of which don't correlate to number of games played.

what dumb comments...

Suddenly the number isn't as impressive when you realize that only maybe a 1/16th of those games were fair and complete from start to finish. I'm looking at you modders, standbyers, people that leave your team, people that lag out, and bad connection issues.

I read on the first page that someone said can we make a billion. I think it might happen because halo 2 has been out for two years and we made half a billion. I think it depends on how many people switch to halo 3 in 2007 and how many people stick with the original xbox and playy halo 2. Because almost 1/4, i think 1/4, maybe more, plays halo 2 on an xbox 360. i have a 360 but i am addicted to halo and i am a 20 in team slayer, half way to 21. so i am not sure.ut half a billion, AMAZAZING!!!!!!!!! (courtasy of the benchwarmers!) WOW!!!
