Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: Tynstar on June 06, 2006, 10:38:14 AM Thats a lot of games played. At first I thought it was units sold but I guess that wouldn't make sense.

At first I thought it was units sold but I guess that wouldn't make sense. Yeah, sorry about that. It was kind of intentional on my part to leave it vague about it being games played so people would read the article ;) Like you said though, that is alot of games played!!! :o Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: Sauza12 on June 06, 2006, 12:44:01 PM Wow. I wonder how badly I would get beaten if I were to play now.

LOL :-/ Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: Necrosaro420 on June 06, 2006, 03:18:27 PM I hated the first halo lol, never gave the second a chance
Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on June 06, 2006, 04:20:13 PM Quote I hated the first halo lol, never gave the second a chance I like this guy. Halo franchise is the only reason X-Box still exists. Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: captain_nintendo on June 06, 2006, 04:49:25 PM To each thier own.
It's a great game IMO. I spent countless hours playing Halo 1, and even more playing Halo 2 online. I put in my fair share of games :) Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: Tynstar on June 06, 2006, 05:13:13 PM Quote I like this guy. Halo franchise is the only reason X-Box still exists. I don't like this guy. ;) Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on June 06, 2006, 08:38:12 PM Quote I don't like this guy. ;) You hate Playstation I hate X-Box. Gotta keep the balance. Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: Tynstar on June 06, 2006, 08:42:51 PM Quote You hate Playstation I hate X-Box. Gotta keep the balance. I don't hate Playstation. PSX and PS2 have awesome games. The quality of teh PS2 is bad since they break so much. I hate Sony for all their over pirced stuff. Good stuff? Yes. But over priced. Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: Rejinx on June 06, 2006, 09:16:52 PM With half a billion games played that likely means to number of kills has surpassed the population of earth

Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: Tynstar on June 07, 2006, 07:24:59 AM Quote Damn, you have a reason. I can't remember why I hate X-box. Because you are a jack ass? |D Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on June 07, 2006, 08:21:03 AM Mostly. I've also been raised by M-$oft haters.

That Leon guy...not so much. ::) Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on June 07, 2006, 09:37:23 AM You guys can't really think SONY's stuff is that over priced? And it's not priced by ego, it's priced by quality. I do hear alot about breaking Playstation's but I've never had problems. I remember getting pissed at some dudes at a Gamestop when they were telling some peeps buying a new PS2 that they should only play it and hour at a time or it would overheat. That's bull! I fall asleep with mine on, I once left GTA on for six days and my house is still standing. God I hate gamestop employees!

The girl trying to sell the extended warranty was telling me the same thing about overheating when I bought my PS2 (slimline version) back in January. What really annoys me now is that all of them are trying to sell you a "protection plan" for 1 year on every single game purchase! Why should I pay another $3-5 bucks for a new game!!!

When I worked at GameStop you would be amazed on the amount of people coming in with a broken PS2. And when it comes to their price I am talking about TV's and Stereo stuff. You can get better stuff for cheaper but it doesnt say Sony on it. But for common Joe shopper they think high end Sony stuff is the best which it is far from. Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: shaggy on June 07, 2006, 12:28:32 PM And I haven't played one single game of it!

Is half a billion Halo matches > the number McDonald's has served? Hmmm...dunno...but a double cheeseburger does sound good right about now!  |D Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: Tynstar on June 07, 2006, 02:01:58 PM I wonder how many kills there have been in 500,000,000 games?
Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: phoenix1967 on June 07, 2006, 04:01:42 PM Gotta be at least a hundred billion.
Title: Re: Halo 2 / Half a billion! Post by: captain_nintendo on June 07, 2006, 07:21:13 PM Quote Gotta be at least a hundred billion. :o That might be just a bit high. I was pretty damn good back in the day, and I could get beween 8 - 20+ kills in a given match. Depending on length and what not. Yes sometimes more depending on what is going on. I guess it would depend how many players are in each game and how long they lasted. I suppose 100 billion is possible. |
