In Response To: April 2011 REACH 24hr UU (DEEP NNN)


A quick snapshot of the stats page on Bungie.net shows

640,967 24hr UU in Reach
1,454,836 24hr Unique games recorded by those players

On average, a Reach player is completing 3 games per day, most probably completing 2 or 4 in the 'normal' crowd. If that doesn't sound long, remember that games can last up to 15 to 20 minutes, so 4 15 minute games = an hour of gaming!

136,015 24hr UU in Halo 3
241,483 games recorded

On average Halo 3 users are completing 2 games per day. Factor in Team Slayer and Social Slayer consuming 8 people per game recorded and it's more likely the average is 1 game recorded and then going to play something else.

Reach has about 5x the population of Halo 3, with 6x more games being recorded. "Curbstomping" doesn't even begin to describe what Reach is doing to Halo 3 (and Halo 3 curbstomped Halo 2 when it came out, and put out a cigarette in it's eye). Bungie is much more successful in getting people to move to the next game they put out than Activision is.

Major Nelson's Top 20 is actually damn near useless because they do not tell you the spread. Since it counts a UU for a game even if you just load up the title screen and then dashboard, the real story is in the spread and not the totals. In the Top 3-4 we're probably looking at 4 digit spreads. Down near Halo 3 you're more than likely going to see 6 digit spreads.

Urk also revealed on NeoGAF that Reach processes population count every sixty seconds (!). Halo 3's window was >30 minutes:
