Today in predictable news, Major Nelson of Xbox Live revealed the top 10 lists for XBL usership for the week, naming Halo 3 and Battlefield 1943 dominators of the space we know and love.
Can’t believe a game from 2007 is still #1? Well, believe it. Halo 3 is stupid-popular. Hell, I’ve played it almost every day for its life (except for a minor break to max out COD:4), and Battlefield 1943, that’s no surprise either. A tested franchise + download only + pure-win multiplayer + a race to 43 million kills to unlock a new map = certain success.

Marc and I have been feverishly attacking BF1943 and if you’d like to join us, throw either of us friend request on XBL (eddie not eddy and mjn328) and join in the Blast mayhem.
I can’t believe how long some people have been playing Battlefield. There were people with 35-40 hours played when the game had been out for just over two days.
…not that it isn’t awesome. It is. Review coming very soon, folks.
