Halo 3 is a damn popular game.‚ How popular you ask?‚ Try over 1 billion match-made games, and recently a nameless UNSC soldier slew the 10 billionth Covenant scumbag in campaign.‚ Bungie, developer of all things Halo (except Halo Wars) knows how to appease the mass of fans suiting up for online combat each and every day.‚ It seems as if new DLC perpetually looms on the horizon, frequent matchmaking playlist tweaks keep the experience fresh, and there is just some indescribable emotion attached to tea-bagging a fresh kill that keeps us coming back for more.
Bungie released the Mythic Map Pack last week, and while hard data on download rates has not surfaced yet, the weekly report of Xbox Live activity certainly depicts increased usage.‚ Furthermore, Microsoft offered Xbox Live users with a limited Silver membership access to matchmaking this weekend thus buffing the total activity even further.
