With Call of Duty: Ghosts set to reach a huge audience this holiday season, Activision has chosen to celebrate the occasion by releasing a few facts about the franchise in general — and the numbers are quite staggering indeed.
An estimated 1900 combined years of Call of Duty multiplayer have been invested since the series’ inception. That means if a single player went through it all on their own, they would’ve had to start back in 112 AD.
The series has seen 1.9 quadrillion respawns in multiplayer matches over the years, which is 266,816 times the Earth’s current population of seven billion.
In addition, called-in UAV’s, which help triangulate the position of enemies on the ground, have been shot down 813 million times in multiplayer damage, causing a total of $3.4 quadrillion dollars in damage — 5,422 times what the Federal spending budget is at the moment.
Finally, 18 billion multiplayer matches have been played in all, with the numbers sure to grow over the week now that Call of Duty: Ghosts is available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC and Wii U. The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 editions of the game will release later this month.
