CoD4 logs 10 million 360 gamers since launch

by Dustin Burg { Jan 8th 2009 at 4:00PM }

Call of Duty 4 community manager fourzerotwo decided to post some statistical CoD4 fun. And after some quick number crunching, we learn that (on the Xbox 360 alone) over 10 million unique players have logged onto Xbox Live to game it up on CoD4 since launch. Not too shab. Taking into account the PS3's unique player numbers, CoD4 has logged over 14 million players total.

Look below for more statistical CoD4 number fun, including the number of gamers who have completed Airplane on Veteran difficulty. Mr. Xav de Matos wanted us to point out that he helped contribute to the 2.8% completion rate. He so l33t.

71.1% have completed F.N.G.
68.8% have completed Cargo Ship
46.5% have beaten the game on any difficulty.
2.8% have completed Airplane on Veteran difficulty.

I think the level was called Heat, but i couldn't get back down the hill in that level on Veteran. I would always get halfway and then get pinned down to no end.

even though cod 4 is a terrible game

Playing Airplane on Vet was mad hard! I beat it after 20+ attempts and seeing that video on youtube that shows a guy who did it. Of course, I am not as good as this guy:

as well as "we got a hull breach get down, get dowwwn!"

vahdyx @ Jan 8th 2009 4:19PM

So... more ps3 owners logged on to CoD4? How's that possible?

Maybe I read something wrong

xenocidic @ Jan 8th 2009 4:26PM

I think what they're saying is, when you add in the PS3 numbers, it goes up from 10 to 14 million.

So 4 million PS3 users.

GPX2 @ Jan 8th 2009 4:42PM

Nope with the PS3 players it goes up to 14 million, there are only 4 million PS3 players.

zach @ Jan 8th 2009 4:21PM

wow im part of the 2.8% also..it seems a bit too easy to have such a low percent O.o

Okay dill-weed. ANYONE that says any game in the COD series is "too easy" to beat on veteran has a real problem with their own memory. I can guarantee there were parts of COD4 that made you want to snuggle up with mommy in best so you could rest better after the AI ripped you a new one.........

I have 1,000/1,000 on every xbox 360 Call of Duty Game (2-5). None were easy on veteran. Each title had certain levels that were a complete nightmare, and some levels that were a cakewalk.

The people that claim veteran is easy, are the people that want to make themselves look l33t online in front of people that can't see them when their gamertag credentials don't speak loudly enough for themselves...

Get over yourself! my GT: Muckrak3r

The first two times I even made it to the end on Veteran, I accidentally shot the hostage. DOH! Third time was the charm, though.

Neuromancer @ Jan 8th 2009 4:28PM

Still can't believe less than 1/2 the people that played the game finished it. I wonder why.

ScottishPrik @ Jan 8th 2009 4:37PM

Probably related to the fact that the 360 version of COD4 hasn't even sold 10 million copies. So a large proportion of these "unique" users are actually people with multiple accounts who have only gone through the campaign with one account The others they use just for muliplayer.

Jonman @ Jan 8th 2009 5:06PM

I have a different take on it. I suspect that a good 5-10% of those numbers, if not more, are folk who don't own the game, but have a friend that does. So they play the game with a friend in multiplayer without going through the singleplayer stuff.

FJFC @ Jan 8th 2009 4:29PM

I'm part of the 2.8%

l337

DjDATZ @ Jan 8th 2009 4:30PM

W00t! part of the 2.8%...kinda. :P

Ben @ Jan 8th 2009 5:35PM

kinda?

DjDATZ @ Jan 8th 2009 7:47PM

I have the achievement... :P

UNSCleric @ Jan 8th 2009 4:32PM

Almost as good as Halo 3.

markbowman @ Jan 8th 2009 4:40PM

Exactly why we needed COD 5. No interest in COD 4. Why make more maps and easy money when you can spend MILLIONS on an overdone genre. It's not like the customers know what they want.

Oh wait..... MORONS.

Familyguyrokz @ Jan 8th 2009 5:26PM

But if CoD:WaW hadn't been made, think of all the money ActBliz would NOT rake in from millions of idiots that bought a $60 mod.

expsoldier @ Jan 8th 2009 5:10PM

w00t! For being part of the 2.8%.

JLP @ Jan 8th 2009 7:56PM

Also part of the 2.8%!! Sweet. I loved COD4...who dares say it's a terrible game???

I'm not just one in a million...i'm now one in 280000...

I ROCKED that game on Veteran. I mean airplane was tough and took a couple replays, but I didn't think it was harder than having to defend that ferris wheel and the sniper guy. I specifically remember that as being tougher and being more of a challenge for me.

Airplane was easy because after a certain point you just sprint, stab and win. I got it within my first couple tries but maybe I just got lucky.
