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.

1That’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.

2Well 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.
