Jeesh that's a lot of hours. That's like 75,000 people each playing 40 hours a week for a year.

I read Ben Franklin's biography a while back and got the impression that he had an advantage over many of his contemporaries because it was the custom to drink beer all day. Many would be useless by noon.

They should put some of that money into the multiplayer servers they're terrible! I just played, tried to play, six games and each one crashed kicking everyone off. Six in a row.

I know my connection is good, low latency but CoD is worse than ever but nothing on my end has changed much in fact it's a better.

Halo 3, which I played a bit in college, certainly used one member as the host.
