Xbox Live’s Major Nelson has released the week’s most actively played Xbox Live titles, and as you’d guess, Infinity Ward’s stupidly popular shooter Modern Warfare 2 sits atop the leaderboard.
Normally, this wouldn’t be news, but today it is because this week is likely to be the last where it sits atop the list. Why’s that? Bungie’s Halo: Reach hits shelves on Tuesday worldwide, and if that game doesn’t unseat Modern Warfare 2, I’ll be seriously surprised.
Anyway, here’s Xbox Live’s top 20 games for the week of August 30:
Xbox 360 Top LIVE Titles (based on unique users)
1 Modern Warfare 2
2 Halo 3
3 Call of Duty: WaW
4 Call of Duty 4
5 DEAD RISING 2: CASE ZERO
6 FIFA 10
7 GTA IV
8 Madden NFL 11
9 Gears of War 2
10 Battlefield Bad Co. 2
11 Red Dead Redemption
12 Mafia II Playable Demo
13 Halo 3: ODST
14 Left 4 Dead 2
15 Forza Motorsport 3
16 VANQUISH OFFICIAL DEMO – VELOCITY ATTACK
17 Mafia II
18 Trials HD
19 Fallout 3
20 Monday Night Combat
Any surprises here? For goodness sake, three of the top four are Call of Duty titles! Also, why is GTA IV so high up? Answers?
