Call of Duty: WaW Dethrones Halo 3 on Xbox Live
56
For the first time in months, a new champion sits atop the Xbox Live User Activity List (which tracks games based on the number of users playing them in a given week.)For a very long time, Halo 3 has ruled the roost, and few have been able to challenge it. However, a new post on Major Nelson's blog has revealed the newest activity list, and Halo 3 has finally been dethroned.

I can still never understand why Halo 3 is such a great game. It's good but I just don't see why it's like this top notch FPS that everybody likes. I mean I can totally see why people like Mass Effect, Bioshock, Gears Of War but I can't see it at all what makes Halo 3 so great.

Halo 3 is a Noob game. All the little kiddies love this game because it so easy. I doesn't take much skill to just run up to someone and just use the plasma sword to get a kill. Then you hear the little kiddies screaming into the mike " I'm so F*ing good" and you suck.

If you don't like halo it's ur loss,
Just like 360 fanboys are at a loss if they don't like Resistance
My friend has a 360, and he brings his 360 over, we play halo for hours, then warhawk, then we go over to rockband and then to Resistance 2
I like halo, and i like resistance
If Bungie were to make it for ps3 id be like hell yes!
Just another great game added,
btw i've played Halo 3 for atleast 40 hours over the past few months and i have yet to see one kid crying on the mic, they're all adults crying because my friend keeps owning them xD
oh yea and btw, its not a kiddie game, if u see a pro play (like my friend) then u'll be like holy sh!t cause i swear that guy has no life past FPS games

You know instead of almost implying that I'm a PS3 fanboy of some sort (quote from you "just like 360 fanboys are at loss if they don't like Resistance"). Why not just explain to me why Halo 3 is so great?
I mean I might be a bit biased but I try to remain objective. And like i said I can see why Mass Effect, Bioshock and Gears Of War is loved so much. But Halo 3 feel so generic, there's absolutely nothing outstanding about it. Why does it deserve 10s? I just can't see it.

I never thought it would happen, again! I think Modern Warfare had the title for a while back in early 2008, but since then Halo 3 has been pretty much untouchable.

yea...COD4 did this when it was pretty new and actually kept the title for a long time and Halo3 was thought to be down and out as king, but a couple months ago it took over again...now that COD WaW is out and still pretty new its their turn for top
the real question is HOW LONG WILL IT LAST? theres just something about halo 3 that is entertaining...for me, anyways
and with halo 3 coming out with its expansion game "Halo: ODST" and guaranteed new maps for halo 3 multiplayer...i see halo 3 coming back on top in 09' for sure

of course,teryarch made cod 3,waw and the spider man series
IW made medal of honor:allied assault(when they were with EA)after activision acquires them and formed IW in 2003,they made call of duty 1,2 and 4:modern warfare but activition wants to increase their profits and compete with other big companies,so they release a cod game each year(cod3 was the worst)but damn,treyarch made it with waw,you got to admit that cod 4's engine was hot and treyarch worked hard
sorry for long reply but yes,I wrote that up like I'm not an expert cod fan.sorry

Well it's definitely not a ripoff of Modern Warfare, but it does indeed suck. I thought the addition of co-op Campaign would be cool, but you can't even get achievements from it! Now I have to run through it twice because they were too lazy to tune the game for two players. And don't even get me started on the strange split-screen choice. Vertical windows work fine on my TV, but I can't even imagine it on a smaller TV.
I don't know about the online though, I wasn't a fan of COD4's so I haven't tried this COD5's yet. Only games I play online now are Team Fortress (Amazing on PC), Gears 2, and LBP.

Halo 3 isn't some quickie game that gets brushed off to the side. The online experience in Halo 3 is superior to any other online console game. The playlist always get updated, and the game breathes new life with map packs being released. It's no glitchfest and it doesn't lag either. There is no game more finely tuned then Halo 3.

pathetic? absolutely not
what i find pathetic are games that are hyped up and then played once and either sold, brushed aside, not looked at ever again...the replayability of halo 3 online and offline are why i consider that game a success and not as "overhyped" as ppl say it is
why would ppl go back to a game that is 2 years old and play it if it isnt even fun or enjoyable...that is because halo 3 is exactly that, a fun and enjoyable game that you can get back to ages after its release and still have fun playing it

Halo 3 is very, very fun online. That's why its been up there for so long. CODWaW is just as fun also, in many ways I like it better than COD4. My boy is a beast in the game. I need to play it more. Well deserved.

Because only the single player sucks.
The multiplayer may have times where it makes you hate it, and you wanna just destroy it, but it's still pretty damn fun online.
Bungie is one of the few devs that supports their game well, and there are a lot of possibilities for halo 3's online.

Like someone deftly mentioned earlier, Halo is timeless, showing all that overhype talk is just that...overhyped!
For so many people to still play and enjoy Halo 3 (and Halo 2!!) is a testament to how great the game truly is. There are some other great MP games out there, but Halo is still the king. Best maps, vehicles, weapons, balance...and the auto replays are too fun to watch and laugh your ass off at. Dammit...now I wanna get outta work already and play me some Halo!

Halo 3 always gets an updated playlist, and its DLC has been seasonal as of recent so there's a reason to go back. Doesn't mean its the best game to play online though. I'm surprised to see treyarch's game being the most played recently. Hell, after Gears 2's broken multiplayer I should expect this.
