I Lördags kl. 18:36 PST, spelades den match som infriade 1.000.000.000 st spel via Xbox Live.

Var det nån här i forumet som deltog kanske?

Närmast ligger Halo 2 som förnärvarande har 798 miljoner spel på över 4 år.

One Billion. It's a giant number, one that's difficult to understand without the proper context. Our first thought was to put it into perspective by comparing Halo 3's total games played with its predecessor, Halo 2, a title that we are still super proud of, and one that's topped the original Xbox LIVE Leaderboards since its launch through to present day - over four years of online gaming.

But there's a problem with that comparison. Halo 2 has yet to achieve one billion games played. As of right now, it's sitting pretty at 798 million total matches played. Surprised? We were.

Still, we wanted to find ways to help you (and us) better comprehend just what one billion games means in the grand scheme of things.

If each game of Halo 3 lasted only three minutes and nineteen seconds, mirroring the Infection game outlined above, the total amount of time played would eclipse sixty-three centuries. For those looking for more granularity, that's roughly 630 decades, 6,300 years, or 2,300,000 days.

But admittedly, that's working from a pretty rough estimate. No worries, we keep tabs on this sort of stuff. We recruited our database guru, RocketMoose, to provide us with some more accurate numbers. The data point he supplies below is a sum total of all player time spent in matchmaking. If ten players completed a ten minute match, the database would log 100 minutes of total playtime. This figure also does not include data from Custom or Offline matches.

Total Matchmaking Playtime: 2,023,153,340,764 seconds.

Yes, that's two Trillion seconds, or 64,109 years of playtime.

64,000 years ago:

Neanderthal walked the Earth.
Modern Man had yet to set foot in Asia.
The Battle Rifle was Hitscan.

One BILLION Served

HD marknadens, Xbox live's absolut populäraste spel.

"We've noticed. Many of you are sick to death of Halo. To a certain extent that's understandable, but then, sometimes you have to applaud the efforts of a game that, two years on from release, is still so damn popular

How popular? According to Bungie, on average, every single day, there are over 1,000,000 unique Halo 3 users. Over one million. Every. Day."

Om långfilmen nånsin blir av lär den bli något populär kan man tänka sig

Måste nog börja spela Halo 3...igen

Eller hur

Jag menar, för 5 månader sedan vad det 1 miljard serverade spel via Xbox live, det har nu gått över 150 dagar sedan dess, måste innebära flera miljoner spelade spel
