Gaming history in the making here. Washington-based Bungie Studios, creators of the popular Halo series, announced that more than half a billion games of Halo 2 have been played online!
“To clarify, that’s actual games, not player-sessions,” says Bungie’s Frankie O’Connor. “That also doesn’t include games we lost because the Web site was down or through other technical issues.”
This is just the latest of several impressive accolades the game has achieved. In just its first few months in retail, the game sold 6.4 million copies worldwide and logged 91 million cumulative hours on Xbox Live.
In total Halo sold 6.57 million copies worldwide and Halo 2 sold 7.66 million copies worldwide so far! Impressive.
