Recent forum users on a Bungie message board have pointed out that the total enemy kills in the popular online multiplayer game Halo 3 has exceeded the current world population. Official Bungie statistics place the total amount of enemy kills at 6,738,689,827 as of this writing, while many estimates of the world population come in just below that. The world population kills number was past sometime on Saturday June 21st.

Besides the enemy kills in Halo 3 there are 1,175,415,881 friendly kills giving Halo 3 players an excellent 5.7:1 kill ratio. Certainly nothing can be attributed to this statistic beyond Halo 3 players are having fun. Go get ‘em guys!
