Bungie.net no longer handles player data for Halo titles. March 31 marked the end of an era for the studio.

"We have followed your careers with great interest here on Bungie.net, and you have gifted us a mountain of heroic moments to memorialize," Bungie said. "It is with a sense of awe that we step back and admire the impact that you have had on our games, and upon our studio.

"Thanks for sharing your stories with us."

Bungie released a massive infographic that compiled stats over the years. Click the image below to see the full-sized version.

1. DAMIT BUNGIE, WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE ME CRY!!!!!!! 2. Bungie, your retarted for selling Halo to 343. Do you know that by making more Halo games you could have made all of the money you sold it for and then some!!!! Where was that on your list?! 3. Now we got some numbnut company runnming the show and the thing that will define Halo, is if they will follow in Reaches footsteps and brings back powerups. 4. I still have memories of unboxing my Halo: Reach limited edition. OHHHHH S**T Bungie your freeken making me cry again!!!!!!

If only this headline was an April Fool's joke. Master Chief is sad now.

Bungie... I'll miss you being involved in Halo
by Dawson Wyckoff Sunday, April 01, 2012 at 11:53 PM

I wish best of luck to Bungie...

Love you Bungie, but why did you have to go with Activi$ion? Once Call of Duty fails (and you know it will), Activi$ion will just annualize Bungie's new game [franchise] and run it into the ground too. O_o

ill miss you guys
by Atika Monday, April 02, 2012 at 01:43 AM

I can't believe i wasted money on these games, specially ODST.
by Ashley Monday, April 02, 2012 at 03:38 AM

It's sad to see a great company that created such an epic game leave the franchise in the hands of another company...
by rbarclay77 Monday, April 02, 2012 at 06:46 AM

Bye bye!!!! You were a great innovative game.
by zelda247 Monday, April 02, 2012 at 07:08 AM

I'll miss you guys... Halo will never be the same again.
by GunslingerD7 Monday, April 02, 2012 at 08:06 AM

Amazing numbers. Hard to hear this news but I have complete faith in Bungie to make another awesome game.
by Bluecoat09 Monday, April 02, 2012 at 08:25 AM

adios and congrats on a successful run
by fleshho Monday, April 02, 2012 at 08:25 AM

that is impressive
by Falcon4196 Monday, April 02, 2012 at 08:44 AM

((123,611,766,794/60)/24)/365.25 = 235,021.231

That is the number of years that people have spent playing Halo. By comparison the oldest example of human civilization are about 12,000 years old. I honestly don't know how to feel about that.
by Trenchmace Monday, April 02, 2012 at 09:38 AM

I teared up a little looking at that. Halo is my favorite shooter franchise and I've met many great people on their that I'm friends with even today. BUNGIE FTW!!!!!!!!
by Zachary Pligge Monday, April 02, 2012 at 09:52 AM

Halo will not be the same without Bungie. I can't wait to see what they develop next!
by Mitch Monday, April 02, 2012 at 10:44 AM

Halo will forever be remembered in Bungie's name! Amazing series...
by Warrior Monday, April 02, 2012 at 11:20 AM

Halo you was a really fun series by Bungie. But its time Master Chief hanged his helmet on a shelf and called it quits. So... I think its about time Bungie made some RPGs for all consoles.
