The Halo: Reach beta only opened on Monday evening but it managed to pull in over one million players on its first day. Understandably Bungie is pretty happy with the number of Xbox Live users furiously fragging each other (OK, we know that sounds rude) in the Halo: Reach beta and has revealed some impressive stats…
According to Bungie, 1,170,112 players logged into the Halo: Reach beta in the first 24 hours. That legion of space marines managed to maim each other 157,972,986 times in the same period with over 14,205,611 games played.
Bungie totted up the time spent by all those players in the Halo: Reach beta and the total came to a slightly staggering 260,240 man hours. That’s 29 years worth of time spent of multiplayer madness in Halo: Reach. Get the feeling there were a lot of Halo fans not getting enough sleep?
If you’ve got a Halo: ODST disc and haven’t logged into the Halo: Reach beta yet, there’s still time. It’s running until May 19. And if you’re not sure what all the fuss (and man hours) are about, check out the Halo: Reach multiplayer trailer.
