Call of Duty Dominates CoD Live on CoD 360 from MicroCoD

Posted on Friday, December 2 @ 13:22:58 Eastern by

If you didn't already know, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is sitting pretty on the Xbox Live Activity Charts. It's up there. It's cousin Black Ops is right behind it. Yup... Throw a fucking parade why don't you.

Still, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim sits at Number 3 and Battlefield 3 at Number 4. The rest of this list is a hodge-podge of the usual suspects. I just wish there was some change in these figures on a week to week basis.

When Nintendo Power ran their Most Wanted and Most Played lists at the end of every reader-mail section, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past sat on top of the SNES Most Played charts for years and years... until that feature was cut.

What's the fucking point if there's absolutely no change in these lists? Why bother reporting the statistics if it's the same thing every damn week?

    I kind of get what happened in that video, but it makes me not want to play CoD. Ever.

    It's basically the FPS equivalent of casting Death.

    To answer your question, Dan, I have no idea. Perhaps when someone just receives their first XBL or PSN account, maybe these statistics will give that the person of what they should play online. Then again, I'm giving you a bullshit reason.

    I think a more useful statistic for the Live team to report would be some hard numbers. Number of unique players, number hours, etc. Then we can track that stuff over time, and put it into a pretty line graph. Who cares what the current top game is on Live, if not as many people are playing it as much as a top game in the past was played? For all we know (though unlikely), more people are playing Assassin's Creed right now than played Halo 3 in it's heyday.

    Comparisons would be good. For example statistical increases in time spent on live when Halo 3 came out compared to CoD Black Ops or MW3. Since it's pretty much a guarantee that not as many people had 360s back when Halo 3 came out as they do now a statistical comparison in the increase of live traffic during the release windows of each game would be interesting rather than a direct by the numbers comparison. Of course even this comparison would likely have CoD all of the top of it, but oh how the glory days of Halo have been eclipsed....

    You know why Halo failed to beat CoD when Reach released? Exclusive.

    Look at the sales for Reach and Black Ops. If HR was mult-platform it would have easily outsold BO and we wouldn't be in a world run by CoD. :(
