After last week’s Call of Duty 4 takeover, I was ready to sound the bell and end the fight between two of the most popular shooters to ever be released on consoles.
It seems I jumped the gun. Halo 3 retook the number one spot on the Xbox LIVE list this week (measured by unique users), bumping CoD4 down to #2. My personal favorite, Gears of War, is now #5. Whether or not these numbers were directly skewed by the XBL outage is up for debate. However, the olive branch extended by MS definitely affected the results; see below.
Here are the top five:
1. Halo 3
2. Call of Duty 4
3. Guitar Hero III
4. Undertow
5. Gears of War
