Halo: Reach Players Depopulate the Earth Five Times Over

Turns out that you can get a heck of a lot of killing done in twenty-four thousand years.

Bungie has released a new infographic which shows that through a combination of multiplayer and single-player games, [url-http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Reach-Xbox-360/dp/B002BSA20M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1292849591&sr=8-1]Halo: Reach[/url] players have killed around 33 billion things, or five times the population of planet Earth, since the game's release in September.

The majority of the kills understandably come from the single player game, which you might describe as a "target rich" environment, but still around a quarter of the kills - or 9 billion - game from matchmade, multiplayer games. Bungie splits the kills down into categories, breaking them into specific types of Covenant troops for the single-player kills, and specific kill methods for the multiplayer. Nearly half of the Covenant deaths in single-player were Brutes, for example, and players scored 87 million multiplayer kills from beyond the grave.

Also included in the statistics are tidbits like the total time spent in-game (24,000 years), how many multiplayer games Bungie employees have lost (23,000), and a breakdown of kill sprees and multi-kill awards. If you want to check out the rest of the stats for yourself, you can see the full infographic here [http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline10/121710/bungiestats.jpg].

I will admit that I'm always a little amazed at how fast the numbers for big games like Halo: Reach grow. 24,000 years translates into roughly 210 million hours, and that's a lot of time for players to invest in just three months.

I like the Sniper kills, most of my kills come from the sniper XD

Still it's amazing how so much has been done in like 3 months...i would love to see these numbers for COD4/WAW, Even single player games like Fallout and Just Cause 2.

Hang on, Bungie reckon that 23 million people have got 20 kills in a row but that only 4.7 million have got 15 in a row? Last time I checked you had to go past 15 to get to 20! Are we sure Bungie aren't just making these numbers up?

Not really, it only counts when the streak ends. It doesn't count all the lesser streaks gained along the way.

I think that is a typo on their part :p Their are 2 20 kill without dying medals :p

I think Killing Frenzy is meant to be 10 kills without dying.

I'm pretty sure it does, you know. If I get a Hell's Janitor medal during a match I'm also awarded the Zombie Killing Spree medal as well. Either that or I'm doing better in games than I think...

9 billion real player deaths is the more significant number! so it would take less than 3 months to murder the whole world. Good to know XD

Those are constantly displayed in a lobby for the game. They're considerably less interesting.

Oops, the article says that almost half the Covenant kills have been Brutes, when they should have said Grunts.

I want to see this for Left 4 Dead 2
In the first week of the Passing DLC, over 5 million zombies (IIRC) were killed.
Okay, they're using zombies so it's kind of cheating, but in Reach your a power-armored superman who can kill by staring at something for 5 seconds!

Not just the little info snippets you get in the lobby, but an overall stat chart. Like killstreaks earned, deatsh by certain guns etc.

What is this "Real Life" that you speak of? When does it comes out? What Platform is it on? Does it have a Special or Legendary Edition?

LOL!!!!
