The final countdown to the September launch of the highly successful Xbox 360 game Halo 3 has started, with the conclusion of the multiplayer beta version of the game.
Halo 3 Beta had 820,000 participants and over 12 million hours of online game period in its 26-day test period – something Microsoft says equates to more than 1400 years of continuous play by one person.
The game was available throughout the world via Xbox Live and became the single most downloaded content on the Live service and beat the Halo 2 record of the highest number of people playing concurrently on one title on Live.
The new saved-film feature which allows players to record their games and share them over Live with friends also saw more than 580,000 films created.
