Halo: ODST MADNESS

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

ok so im seeing all kinds of reviews of the game early so what do they get early copies, bungie has the sevice record up on their website and the total of kills in the game so far is 11,896,954,696. Their are only 78 people playing the game and only 101 games played. So is that france doing that or what. Plz somebody tell me what the hell is going on.

Maybe French people only surrender in real life. [/sarcasm]

It might have something to do with the new Firefight mode (i.e.- the counter may include the number of aliens killed.)

That plus Beta Testers play with reviewers. We make sure they play with courteous people instead of the usual mucky 14 year old, to give them the best experience possible when playing.

Thats the total kill count, 7 billion was reached a week or so after 7/7/08, so that included halo 3's games main launch and all. It is an incredibly hard number to reach.

that would be my best guess...

I just read the first review I've seen: shock and horror it's a 9 out of 10.

Apparently it's got the "sharpest AI the GENRE has to offer" (direct quote) and a "Hollywood-calibre" presentation. I haven't played it, so I could be completely wrong, but the game is fuck ugly and has the exact same look as halo 3 - which is over a year old now. Change something at least.

And the AI thing. I don't believe it somehow.

I know it's popular to hate Halo now, but there really is nothing about those games. And it's embarrassing to read the review of a professional writer that is basically the same as their review of Halo 2 and 3; not to mention the fact that it sounds like he's advertising.

OT: I think that figure's for the whole of Halo or Halo 3 or something like that.

Reviewers get review copies of the game and sometimes (depending on the situation, I guess) they get it ahead of the official release date. That combined with the Beta testers plus the various campaign modes can account for the kills happening. Then again, I could be wrong and those could be Halo 3 stats.
