I’d assume that with PS3 and PC numbers CoD4 was the over all most played game.

TBH, it did surprise me.
It wasn’t Modern Warfare 2.

all i can say is: play some unreal tournament III (again). played this on pc when it came out and now i prurchased a copy for 10 euros for the 360…it´s a blast. i dont mind fps on a console. the 360 pad is really kind of cool for it if you fix sensitivity. so go get a copy cause noone wants to play warfare these days…but i want to.

Resi Evil 5 has two spots?
They should of combined it imo and let something else show up.
Maybe Assasins Creed 2, Borderlands or something like Street Fighter IV, I’ve seen many, many people play them.

^^
Up until MW2, CoD players were pretty much split between CoD4 and WaW, which is probably why…
