Battlefield 3 beta attracted over 8 million users

DICE has revealed statistics for the Battlefield 3 beta, and boy are they impressive. The multiplayer beta attracted 8 million users, who collectively fired 47 billion bullets and registered 1.5 billion kills.

8,125,310 users played the Battlefield 3 beta, to be exact. That’s more then the population of some of the world’s biggest metropolitans.

DICE also said, after some weird calculations, that the beta deaths equaled half of what the world consumed this year in litres. The longest recorded headshot was fired 635.6 meters away from the target.

Here’re some more figures released by DICE:
