Everyone On Earth Is Dead (According to Halo)
Here’s a neat little fun fact?more people have been killed in Halo than there are people on Earth. Wacky! Destructoid has the numbers:
An astute Bungie forum member was the first to think about the numbers involved. According to the U.S. Census Bureau?s Population Clock, the Earth now has 6,707,128,707 people in it. Bungie?s kill counter for Halo 3 lists 6,852,762, 021, and that?s just for enemies. Add in another 1,197,119,900 friendly kills and you have a wholly awesome number.
That’s right?every sixth kill in Halo is someone killing their own teammember. Speaking of, here’s just one of those deaths. It’s an old video, but still a good one.
