    Holy crap, that's astonishing.  I love Halo 3, and I'm glad to see it's still got a lot of love.  I had no idea there were that many unique people per day.  Insane.

     The downloads of the map packs surprised me. I'm not surprised that a lot of people still play though, Halo has a very competitive community.

    I just realized, this means that every time a halo player comes on he/she will play for an hour on average. Thats like 8 games 0_o


    I misread it and thought it said "the average halo player clocks in roughly one hour per day"
