After months of Call of Duty 4 domination, Halo 3 has once again become the #1 most played game on Xbox Live. Major Nelson’s update for the week of July 14th reveals Call of Duty 4 has only been bumped one spot down to 2nd, and Grand Theft Auto IV rounds out the top 3. The full list can be found below.
The cause of this sudden burst in popularity is likely due to Bungie Day (7/7), bringing the price reduction of the Legendary Map Pack and a new multiplayer map. ‘Cold Storage’ is a free map on Xbox Live and is a remake of the Halo: Combat Evolved classic, Chill Out.
