Roger Wolfson, Bungie's database programmer extraordinaire, reports today that we have officially surged over the four billion games played mark, a little under two years after the game's launch. He also notes that we're close to hitting the four million unique players mark, not too shabby. Read on for some more detailed usage statistics from the past month.

Wow.

Woah. Only 3.32% of all matches are BTB Skirmish. That's saddening.

What the hell is a unique player?

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

The few, the proud, the leet.

4 million unique players is a helluva difference from 4 million unique accounts. Which one?

I am confused. Like 3 months ago you posted that a half billion games were played since halo 2 launched. Now all of a sudden 4 billion games are played. I am confused.

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

It pisses me off to see Team Skirmish or Multi Team hasn't been removed yet, and they remove the ever once, most awesome, popular playlist, 6v6

Maybe Bungie will realize that 6v6 was more popular because BTB Skirmish is too dam laggy & not as competitive.


4 million unique players? hahaha lol, thats all 2 months and multi accounts people have

Yeah, let's remove a 4 vs 4 objective playlist. Smart!!!

  • 10.30.2006 3:52 PM PDT

Yes, sad indeed to see BTB Skirmish so low. Perhaps it would be good to combine all BTB games into one unranked playlist and bring back a ranked 6v6, no?

Good question - this number is "player-games" - the total number of gameplays, where an 8-player game counts as 8. That's what has hit 4B. Unique games, as of this morning, was at 592229833. (So, about 2 weeks away from 600M)

"You're never gonna fight me, I'll wipe the world away"

Did anyone else notice that the Team Carnage usage has went way down compared to the time when HBO controlled the playlist?

Four billion played and halo 3 still isn't out yet...... we need a new map or something until the end of 07 when supposedly halo 3 comes out....... or we can pull the halo 2 shinanniganz and not see it for another 1-2 years from when the original release date was issued..... then have some dude at a press release show off an air brushed tattoo of the halo 2 release date and the world will be like....wow....thats for real homies
