It’s technically still launch day for Halo: Reach , but it’s already grenading records set by Halo 3 . Developer Bungie got its brag on over at Twitter, revealing that Reach has already had more simultaneous users playing the game across Xbox Live than Halo 3 ever managed:
“ Reach already surpassed the all-time highest record for Halo 3 concurrent unique users on LIVE. Woot!”
For the last two years, Halo 3 has regularly topped the most-played list on Xbox Live, so that’s damn impressive.
With that said, as a non- Reach fan I’d love to know when I’m getting my Xbox friends back please, Bungie. Logging on tonight, 24 of my 27 online buddies were playing Reach . Groan. I’m in for some lonely weeks ahead.
