Black Ops 2 Continues Dominance on Xbox LIVE’s Activity Charts

January 10, 2013 by Alex Co

Not really a surprise, but Black Ops 2 is still number one when it comes to the most played game on Xbox LIVE.

Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb, Xbox 360 guru, has just posted the Xbox LIVE activity charts for the week starting December 31st and to no one's surprise, Black Ops 2 is still sitting pretty on top.

What's kind of surprising is which game is at number two, and no, it's not a shooter. It's none other Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition. You read right; Minecraft managed to beat out 343 Industries' Halo 4 for the second spot.

Here's the complete top 20 LIVE games based on unique users:

  1. Call of Duty: Black Ops II 

  2. Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition 

  3. Halo 4 

  4. EA Sports FIFA Soccer 13 

  5. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 

  6. NBA 2K13 

  7. Skyrim 

  8. Call of Duty: Black Ops 

  9. Assassin’s Creed III  

  10. Madden NFL 13 

  11. Far Cry 3 

  12. Battlefield 3 

  13. Modern Warfare 2 

  14. GTA IV 

  15. Borderlands 2 

  16. Gears of War 3 

  17. Halo: Reach 

  18. Forza Motorsport 4 

  19. Forza Horizon 

  20. EA SPORTS NHL 13

Seeing as Minecraft is at number two in the activity chart, it's no surprise then that it rules the roost in Xbox LIVE's Arcade games chart.

  1. Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition 

  2. Trials Evolution 

  3. The Walking Dead 

  4. Castle Crashers 

  5. Trials HD 

  6. Retro City Rampage 

  7. Guardians of Middle-earth 

  8. Fruit Ninja Kinect 

  9. Sonic Adventure 2 

  10. Pinball FX2 

  11. Peggle 

  12. NBA JAM: On Fire Edition 

  13. Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection 

  14. Dungeon Defenders 

  15. Counter-Strike: GO 

  16. Plants vs. Zombies 

  17. Super Meat Boy 

  18. Fez 

  19. Magic 2013 

  20. REAL STEEL

 

Anyone on both lists that caught you unaware? I do see Black Ops 2 sitting at number one for quite some time seeing as there are no big multiplayer FPS slated to appear this year until the holidays. Do you see any game in the coming months that might be able to knock off Black Ops 2 on its lofty perch?
