Halo 3 Rises From the Dead to Grab Top Spot on Xbox Live, Beating Gears 2 and COD

December 03, 2008 in Top List comments 7

Halo 3 has come back to grabbing the top spot on the weekly Xbox Live top played games list that Major Nelson releases. It was surprising that Halo 3 won it because it has been on the decline ever since its launch last year

Major Nelson has released the weekly list of the top games played on Xbox Live, and the most recent week, November 24th, was quite… different. Why? Because Halo 3, which most people thought would dominate Live for at least two years after its launch but really fell off most peoples’ radars (thanks to Call of Duty 4), has come back and claimed the number one spot.

    Well, it's a great game, so I am not surprised, but what about COD5?

        C'mon guys, CoD5 will be a Modern Warfare game (I believe announced earlier today), don't confuse this WaW crap with the fifth installment of the series

    Wait until after Christmas and when they've sorted out online play for Gears 2, then Halo probably won't be top again.

    Gears 2 online play is pretty good, especially Horde, but I can see what you mean.

    I think the arrival of the Halo Social Forum was the cause of this.
