(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The studio behind the Battlefield franchise, Digital Illusions CE, has just announced via Twitter and Facebook that the Battlefield community has accumulatively played over one billion hours of Battlefield 3. That’s a lot of “sh*t buckets.”

“Yesterday, we asked if you could guess how many total hours have been played so far in Battlefield 3,” DICE wrote. “Answer: 1 BILLION hours — That’s 1,000,000,000 hours, or roughly 114 thousand years! You guys are just amazing.”

Presumably, that number is derived from the amount of hours played across all platforms.
