Gears Of War Most Played Xbox Live Game
November 18th, 2006 Posted in News
Major Nelson, Director of Programming for Xbox Live, released the new Xbox Live activity chart for the past week. He announced that Gears of War knocked off Halo 2 as the top played Xbox Live game, a feat that no other game could manage to do for 2 years. Halo 2 released in North America on November 9th, 2004, and remained the top played Xbox Live game ever since. This is a huge accomplishment for the developers of Gears of War, Epic Games, and signifies Gears of War as a game that will remain in many Xbox360’s for a while to come.

That’s nice and all but let’s see if their run at the top can last anywhere near the amount of time Halo 2 succeeded in beating back the competiton. Especially with Halo 3 coming. I predict Halo 3 will regain the crown … heck will Gears be on top that long considering the new shooters coming out next year before Halo 3? I honestly don’t know but I would be surprised if Mass Effect didn’t beat Gears within just the first couple of weeks of its release.

Well it won’t be for long now that R6V has arrived … I knew as much … 8 players max … bah. R6V has 16 players and you can mix up run and gun and cover tactics … yep Gears’ reign is short lived as expected.
