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!

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... [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] king_of_beavers 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 [/quote]
