Live Activity: Left 4 Dead not turning heads, people too busy with Halo 3

The greater crime is that Madden 09 is ahead of Fallout 3.

I would be contributing to the Left4Dead stat, however my 360 had major heart failure 15 minutes into my first session with the game, which I had bought that day. I have never been so pissed off at an inanimate object as just then. Damn you freezybox, damn you to hell!!!!!

also out of warranty cocks

I wish my PC could run this game.

Also, I don't understand why people choose COD4 over the new Socom.

Oh, here come the PC elitists again. Ugh.

Actually, nabbing the seventh spot is pretty good position for L4D. It is a new IP which probably did not pop up on people's radar until the demo was released.

Also, there were a lot of Halo 3 BF sales in various stores so that likely had an impact on the activity chart.

If my home pc could run left 4 dead properly then I would have grabbed it for that. I however was forced to pick it up on the 360. It controls great for a console shooter though IMO. I can't believe GTA is still up there though, I guess I still have time to get those online achievements I haven't grabbed yet.

Anyone who is anyone is playing Left 4 Dead on PC, duh.

Its sad that this world is filled with idiots. Halo is mediocre at best with the rest of the FPS genre that hasn't changed since Wolfenstein and Doom. Same goes for Madden.

But people don't like challenges, and L4D is a challenging game. Its like an arcade shooter. So people need to get over it and play this awesome game.

Where do the lists for XBL activity come from... I have been wanting to check how many people play a few games before going to pick them up...

I just got L4D in the mail today (39.95black Friday deal) so that is one more person playing L4D.

I really don't get why everyone gets a boner over zombie killing, it it the gore? The purposefully stupid ai?

Nothing is more boring than reading posts by elitist PC gamers.

I don't get why people get offended when the PC *does* have more/better features. Valve has been far better at supporting its PC gamers with free DLC for TF2 and mods for Hl2/Portal. The same thing is true of Fallout 3 due to the modding kit that was used to make amazing things in Oblivion.

I'm not really surprised. Really, it just shows how loyal Halo 3 fans are, or how resistant they are to trying new things, depending on your perspective.

Look at it this way:

CoD fans are split in two now, as some have obviously moved on to WaW while others have stayed behind with Infinity Ward's offering. Before the new CoD, CoD 4 was dominating (from what I remember) this list.

A lot of GTA IV players have probably found other games, whether they be Saints Row 2 (even though it doesn't appear on this list), or whatever. Maybe even the new Madden.

You can tell that the Valve fans have mostly moved on to L4D, as the Orange Box is gone now.

Halo 3 is at the top spot simply because Halo 3 players are refusing to move on to a new game.

Left 4 Dead is way better.

Someone remind me, what does STFUAJPG stand for again?

But why has gears not surpassed the halos???
and no love for Nuts and Bolts?
id rather play banjoo than halos

I mean what do you expect. When valve gives barely anemic support to their multiplayer only affair last year with orange box, what idiot in their right mind would even bother buying the game when its more expensive on xbox, with less players playing. Not to mention any one who paid full retail for a multiplayer only game with 4 maps is the real idiot. Left 4 dead is fun, and granted it is an original IP, but barely an original game design.

What heretic said

Yeah, why buy xbox360 version instead of the PC version? Especialy after how they screwed console owners with orange box support.

Duh!!!

PC version 4TW (even on crap PCs)

Halo is so retarded. Seriously. There are so many other better games. I never quite understand why some people praise it so much.

L4D >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Halo

You got some serious issues, nigga.

It's true that most players with access to a gaming PC and a 360 should get the PC version, especially seeing as TF2 DLC has still not arrived on 360.

I do not have a PC equipped for gaming, and I also prefer to game on the couch with a controller in hand, so I sadly do not have the choice. I refused to pay $60 for a game with 4 maps, but when I saw the chance to snag it for $40, off of Amazon black friday, I ordered a copy.

Anyway, I'm more interested in xbox live stats the week or two after xmas, because many gamers with limited incomes may have wishlist'd L4D if buying it outright wasn't an option.

"In the meantime, the 360 fanboys can now stop being so defensive."

That is where you lost me. Valve needa to give better support both the PS3 and 360 . There is a good market there for people who would love a solid FPS experience. Valve is good company that should try to branch out to the consoles because not every one can have good gaming rigs.

I don't care if I have to pay for updates. Remember, the only reason why that type of content is free is because Valve wants to give incentive for people to use the Steam store and program. It is also their servers supporting the updates and not someone's responsibility. That and PC gamers have a strong sense of entitlement and believe that all of their extra content should be free despite the work that goes into it. See 402's post on the COD 4 Map Pack for a sample of this.

I like FPS games on the PC. I played FEAR and UT 2004 on the PC and I had a lot of fun with them. So, don't assume that I don't like the PC as a gaming platform and I like Steam as well.

I think many people dont buy games for PC seeing not everytone upgrades their computers for playing them. Is just some common logic to think a console would run it better since it was designed to play games on it still when it could be the other way around for a much better experience.
