That Halo series is quite popular, eh? 343 Industries has released a bunch of stats to underline how successful their first stab at Microsoft’s universe has been.
The following numbers are pretty crazy.
Online activity has once again been the focus of many players’ addictions:
Over four million people played Halo 4 on Xbox LIVE in the first five days.
13.5 million hours were spent playing Campaign in the first five days.
1.9 million hours were spent playing Spartan Ops in the first five days.
16 million hours were spent playing War Games in the first five days.
31.4 million hours were spent playing Halo 4 in the first five days.
1,116,882 people completed the Campaign in the first five days.
6% of total players completed the Campaign on Legendary in the first five days.
43,335,060 achievements were unlocked in the first five days.
2,675,140,836 kills were earned in Campaign in the first five days.
505,250,095 kills were earned in Spartan Ops in the first five days.
1,410,025,354 kills were earned in War Games in the first five days.
4,590,416,285 kills were earned playing Halo 4 on Xbox LIVE in the first five days.
It would be great to compare Black Ops 2 across the same period. Perhaps Treyarch will release stats if they beat 343 Industries’ effort?
