Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

386,601 Halo 3 players in the last 24 hours

Submitted by rapture on Fri, 05/18/2007 - 9:30am.

Bungie.net's new website now shows stats for both HALO 2 and HALO 3 games. It looks like there are quite a few people playing the HALO 3 beta.

A look at the HALO 3 stats:

386,601 Halo 3 Players (Last 24 Hours)
636,332 Halo 3 Games (Last 24 Hours)
19,763 Players Online in Halo 3

Compare that to:

171,485 Halo 2 Players (Last 24 Hours)
319,796 Halo 2 Games (Last 24 Hours)
6,000 Players Online in Halo 2

Goku says that over 100,000 HALO 3 players were online at one time last night. At the time of this post in the morning, 20,000 HALO 3 players are online compared to 6,000 HALO 2 players. Over twice as many HALO 3 games have been played in the last 24 hours than HALO 2 games.

It looks like HALO 3 is on track to be a successful game even with some matchmaking problems and a delay.

It's Halo, after all.
