When Bungie released the first week of Halo: Reach stats last week, I think it's fair to say that they left a lot of people shocked at the staggeringly high figures. Well, let us blow your mind even more, as Bungie recently released a set of updated stats, which... Well, I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I think the word you are looking for is "wow."

Are you ready!? Well, the latest stats are as follows:

* 70 million+ games have been played
* 235 million+ player games have been played
* 2 million+ files have been uploaded to File Shares
* 5,901 man-years have been spent in online Reach games
* 20 million Daily Challenges have been completed
* 709,840 Weekly Challenges have been completed
* 165 billion credits have been earned

In case you're interested as well, Major Nelson's Xbox Live activity stats last week contained a "manual reporting error" and Reach was in fact the most played game on Xbox Live for launch week... every day as well. No shock there.

Bungie also found time in their weekly update to detail some of the upcoming playlist changes and tweaks for Reach's online multiplayer, which are set to be introduced to the masses in October some time.

The following changes are on the cards:
Playlist Changes

* SWAT Playlist added (SWAT removed from Big Team Battle and Team Slayer)
* Campaign Matchmaking (live on 10/15 – You will be required to have earned the Grade “Corporal” to enter this Playlist)
* Team Slayer rebalanced to highlight default Slayer game variants and include new offerings
* Classic Slayer removed
* Removed “Pro” game variants from the Arena Playlist
* Removed Boardwalk from Arena Team Doubles Playlist
* Added “Return to Battlefield” volume to Space on Zealot in the Arena Playlist

Game Variant Additions

* King of the Hill (multiple Playlists, including Arena*)
* Rocket Race
* Juggernaut (Rumble Pit Playlist)
* *King of the Hill not included in Arena

General Housekeeping

* Sudden Death will be added to all Assault game variants, including Invasion
* Team Objective will now feature the map Powerhouse
* Replacing Drop Shield with Evade for King of the Hill, Territories, and Oddball
* Replacing Hologram with Evade in Oddball, Capture the Flag, Assault, and Stockpile
* Replacing the Scorpion on Hemorrhage with Wraiths (Hemorrhage Heavies variant, TBD)

If that wasn't enough, Bungie, in a segment detailing how to install Reach on your Xbox 360 hard-drive, also let slip that there was an additional 10 achievements worth 250 points on the way - as seen in the image below.

Other than the amount and total score of which can be seen below, that's all we have to report on that, but just be ready for more cheevos in the coming weeks/months.
