I'm looking to get a new online game. Probably a FPS of some kind. I have TF2 and COD4 already.

What are the top 5 or 10 most played online games these days?

is CoD: WaW up there in player base?

Battlefield 2 is still highly active, especially with the new patch that came out few days ago.

Im the same in terms of deciding on getting a game according to player base.

PER DAY:

Warcraft 3 still has about 80,000 People

CSS has about 100,000

Call of Duty World at War has about 30,000

BF 2142 has about: 8,000

Dawn of War 2 has about: 5,000

Empire Total War, oddly, has about: 12,000

Company of Heroes has about: 10,000

Guild Wars has about 8,000

BF 2 has about: 20,000

Left4Dead has about: 18,000

Day of Defeat Source: 8,000

World of Warcraft: 450,000

lol lots of choices.

Ya. If you can wait - Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 will be gold for a very long time. That population will be huge. lol and ya. I got that 450,000 off of xfire. I guess it would be more with 12 million members. But hey who cares what difference does it make. Its big and it ruins your life. Modern Warfare 2 will also be big.

he neglected CoD4 and (despite it being a nubs game (plz dont attack me for bringing it up)) gears of war (prays to god knowing all his warning was in vein), possibly giving an honorable mention to killing floor while were here.

we are i could really throw the book at you if you like.. believe me there tons of games you missed that you might bite yourself for finding out they have large populations lineage 1 & 2 for example have enough accounts active back in 08/09 to = 2/3 of south korea.. and thats alot of ppl man lain and simple. ff11 despite being a game for those afraid of mmo's who cuddle structure and rulebooks with +1 masterwork fighting fists has a meager 1 mill accounts spanning its servers.

From the actual games, Steam is a fraction and xfire is an even smaller fraction. But anyway as I said, those are some of the games with many players.

Going with Xfire:

  • WoW - 1,332,000
  • CoD4 - 575,000
  • CoD2 - 259,000
  • BF2 - 108,000
  • CS:S - 94,000

These are minutes played today. But it does give an idea of what the most played games are in general.

Just remember that Xfires counts the users and time the game is running, not the users and time spent playing online. It includes all those playing single player.

I you want something fresh try soldat http://www.soldat.pl/en/(not alot of payers 500+ maybe, but guaranteed of games as there are always people playing). If not, go with a shooter, WoW is too expensive to be bortherd with imo. The list other people have given do show which games are played most, but what does that really give you? Nothing except numbers, find something fun, with a good few people(over 5000 at least), make yourself known, and it will be very enjoyable.

I wish I could get my BF2142 working on Windows 7. Punkbuster is such a pain. I love the game but Ive had it decommissioned for a while now. Been obtaining newer games. And no the compatibility stuff wasnt working for me. Its Punkbuster. Sucks that there really isnt any other more recent game that uses vehicles like BF does. I mean UT3 does but that Multi is dead and goooone. And I dont want to play Quake Wars.

CSS and DoDs are great choices. Ton of people playing and a ton of player made maps. Hours of fun.
