<p>This weekend has marked a somewhat odd statistical milestone for Halo 3, with the number of enemies killed during all recorded campaigns played so far overtaking the worlds population. <span id="more-5070"></span></p>
<p>Bungie&#8217;s servers record all manner of statistics when you play, all of which are used to <a href="http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Halo3/Default.aspx?player=wardrox" target="_blank">track players</a> across all of their Halo 3 games, multiplayer and campaign alike. The data is then used to make things like the ever cool <a href="http://www.bungie.net/Online/HeatMaps.aspx" target="_blank">heat maps</a>.<!-- adman --></p>
<p>According to the <a href="http://www.bungie.net/online/default.aspx" target="_blank">UNSC Campaign Report</a>, the total number of Enemies KIA (currently 6,737,856,503) is now higher than the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population" target="_blank">world&#8217;s population</a> (estimated to be 6,704,845,726).</p>
<p>Looking over my own stats, as somebody who has played through the campaign several times, I was actually quite surprised to see that I have single handedly obliterated 3,971 enemies, contributing a whopping 0.00006% to the cause.</p>
