Bungie's first Weekly Update since the launch a Halo: Reach included some startling statistics regarding the amount a time we've already thrown at the game's armor-clad feet. As a last Friday, over 31 million matchmaking games had already been played, over 78 billion credits had been earned 'n over 953 'n 1,365 years had been poured into the game's matchmaking 'n campaign modes, respectively. We shudder t' think how those figures expanded over the weekend.

Bungie also included some info on an update which will be applied t' the game next month, saying, "the first matchmaking update for Reach will occur in early October 'n consist primarily a fixes for bugs 'n balance issues." The update will also add new game types 'n Forge maps t' the Matchmaking playlists, 'n will enable co-op Campaign Matchmaking as well. Bungie also reports that it be considering changing it be quick-t'-boot betrayal system, but in the mean time, provides this clever workaround: "AVAST! shooting yer teammates." Helpful!
