To round out the announcement that the Mythic Map pack for Halo 3 will be available on April 9th, Bungie also passed along a few statistics to highlight how well Halo 3 is doing:

* Halo 3 is still averaging close to 900,000 unique players per day on Xbox LIVE, it routinely pushes over a million on weekends, and it's actually trending upwards.
* The average Halo 3 player session clocks in at roughly one hour per play.
* The Legendary Map Pack, released just about one year ago, still averages over five thousand downloads per day!
* Both the Heroic Map Pack and Cold Storage are holding strong at over 11,000 downloads per day.
* Halo 3 charted fifteenth overall in the NPD sales chart for February 2009, again, nearly twenty months out from our retail launch.
* You're closing in on Ten BILLION Covenant Campaign kills all told (just under 9.8 billion currently).
