January 3rd of this year marks a special milestone for our 2007 Game of the Year pick Call of Duty 4, as it logged over ten million players on Xbox 360 (as tabulated by Xbox Live records, which covers only players that have logged onto Xbox Live at least once after playing Call of Duty 4).
Our friends over at fourzerotwo.com have dug a little deeper into these stats to produce some silly, yet more concrete correlations. For example, the total number of 360 players that have completed Airplane on Veteran difficulty (the denouement mission that more or less concludes the game's single-player narrative, which is really, really difficult) exceeds the population of Stockton, California.
This news nearly crushed our head ed Bryn Williams, who became nigh inconsolable at the news that his triumphant achievement had been equaled by the population of a small Californian city.
