Oh **** , you delivered more already! That was fast!
And by roughly 1 million, he means usually 700-800k. ;)II-FBIsniper-II
Even when your trying to play it down..that's still more than any other console game. :lol:
Expect halo to bump down to #2 when MW2 comes out and we'll hear people going on about it. Come next year when Halo: Reach is coming halo 3 will be #1 again only to ever be trumped by Reach.

Not trying to downplay it, just calling it like I see it. I'm gonna :lol: if when MW2 comes out their is going to be three COD games on the top ten.

Even trying to make it look worse do you realize how many developers dream to have even those numbers 2 years after the game was released. KZ2 was released 6 months ago and I am sure it does not get those numbers

i wonder how many of those are 12 year old kids that talk trash and cry on their mic (halo 3 voted worst online community by xbox360 users lol)
since cod 4 came out it has more online user than halo 3 the only time halo 3 has a spike in users is when a map pack comes out
but i could be wrong since lemmings will live and die by their halo 2 engine with amazing hdr lighting (not bashing as its prob the besthdr lighting for any console game)

It sold 10 million. So only one in ten people find the game worth playing?

On a daily basis. daily. That means 1 in 10 people play a 2 year old game. That's awesome. errrr ok, so how old is world of warcraft with its 11 million users?

There's no way to make this accomplishment seem "bad" because it's not. It's good.

Comparing an MMO to a FPS? A PC game to a console? A subscription game to a regular? A constantly updated and massaged and expansioned game to a relatively standalone, save for a few maps? The fact that you think they can be compared boggles the mind. Not to mention that WoW can only be played online, whereas all 10 million copies of Halo 3 could be being played, just not all online.

It's a typical Cow strategy to hide behind the PC.
Hey while we're at it, oh solitaire and minesweeper has more too.:roll:
Halo 3 could have these kind of figures for the next year and Cows still couldn't accept it.

Lol, you were proved wrong, got owned and try to back it up with unnecessary things. It's as if i would question the sales of WoW, and then someone would correct me with nice facts and i'd try to make up for me being wrong by thinking it's little and comparing it to Wii sports or Tetris. just accept that it's good numbers. and you can happily name any other FPS that has 1 million unique daily players on online each day.
Not, it does not. CS is especially popular on LAN, not over online internet. uhhh what, how can you say it is not popular online??? although i certainly doubt it has the daily #'s of halo 3, but i do believe 10 years from now, counter strike will have the higher daily # than halo 3
Unique? lol. If you play Halo3 everyday with other players that do also, you are the same. :lol:
DamageDamage
Bad try at trying to spin this into a joke, really! Are you telling me you are going to believe a Bungie spokesperson about the players being uniquely different than each other? Sure, it's a complement for him to say that. "Yay, daddy someone called me unique!" But if you can't see the irony with Halo3 and unique players in the same sentance then its your loss. Your whole topic is about Unique players to me. And I just have to laugh in disagreement.

halo is a good game....that's why xbox360 only owner are always busy playing it all the time & never go to SW, while ps3 only owner are start to get bored with their killzone, MGS, Warhawk so they're going to SW and make a bad comment about xbox360, Halo 3, Gears of war
anyway congratulation bungie...that's impressive for 2 years old game...i can't imagine when ODST come out...firefight looks fun

It sold 10 million. So only one in ten people find the game worth playing? Um... Yeah, daily. That's a huge deal. Playing the same video game every single day. Sure it's not necessarily the exact people, but when you take that into account, that's even more impressive. Since then you get even more unique users per week. I don't play it daily, I play it once every week or so.
Therefore, the numbers are much higher than a million out of ten million. And these numbers are beyond any other online game that I know of, in consistency, I'm sure some online games spike into this area, but not with this kind of consistency.

I dont think any other online game than WoW has a higher number, though I could be wrong.
Not, it does not. CS is especially popular on LAN, not over online internet. 800,000 uniques played Counter-Strike 1.6 in the past 24 hours on public servers; over 500,000 played Counter-Strike: Source.
