Call of Duty, Halo Top Xbox Live
Will people ever stop playing with Master Chief on Live? All signs point to no.
In the six months that the Xbox 360 has been out, more than half of all owners have taken their consoles online, says Microsoft, and a lot of them are actually playing games. According to the latest Xbox Live charts, courtesy of Xbox Live's Larry Hyrb, gamers are sticking to what they know.
Call of Duty 2 is still the most popular Xbox 360 game online, with regular placers Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion not far off. The Xbox 360 Top 10 is dominated by full games, though UNO does make an appearance on the list, representing the Xbox Live Arcade.
Over on the Xbox, Master Chief is still the one to beat. Nearly two years after its release, Halo 2 is still the most popular game with online players.
