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

You’ve got to love how videogame consumers reward originality. Here we have a fresh, brand new IP with an awesome gimmick and excellently implemented four-player co-op … and people are too busy playing Halo 3 to care.

Left 4 Dead is not exactly breaking records in terms of how many people are playing it, coming in at only number seven in the Xbox Live activity chart. It has been beaten by nothing but established franchises with Halo 3, World at War, Modern Warfare, GTA IV and even Fable 2 charting ahead. 

Personally, I couldn’t imagine passing up wave after wave of infected for a couple of crappy Spartans, but there’s no accounting for taste, I suppose. Hit the jump for this week’s Live activity.
