First time in history?

CoD2 has more hours on XFire than WoW today!?!

Slinky1989 · 15 Jun 2007 at 01:47

Well that's it then. The internet will explode soon :eek:

God just imagine how many 12-14 year olds most of the WoW minutes represent (no offence to any mature players here

)

Is that 8mil in total, or in a time period?

I used to be one of those mature players

Your sig's filesize is a little above the maximum allowed of 20KB.

As for WoW being beaten, good! Shame it's COD that's doing it though :\

Smile everytime I see you do that, you do it SO well

Benjo: That 8 mill minutes is in the last 24 hours.

...and I thought it was an urban myth about you checking each and every sig!

Does anyone actually play COD2 multiplayer?

I worked in a high street game shop for a while and nobody ever spoke about COD2 online

Of course not, look at those stastitics.

Substance · 15 Jun 2007 at 02:29

lol, i know that, i was thinking more along the lines of a server error, still find it hard to believe a game has beaten WoW, guess people are getting bored

Zefan · 15 Jun 2007 at 02:32

WoW is as popular as it ever has been!

Just a thought, they had a huge amount of downtime a while back, literally all the servers down for hours and hours. Maybe it's that sort of thing again? It'd make sense.

Substance · 15 Jun 2007 at 02:40

hmm, don't think it is that as i was playing this afternoon and and nipped on around 8ish and can still get on now

M0T · 15 Jun 2007 at 03:07

WoW had problems today with battlegrounds servers, a few were down which could explain why.

Perhaps the real reason is that X-fire is not a particularly useful application for people that just play WoW (and lets face it if you play WoW you don't have time for anything else) so games that its useful for will overtake it.

Anyway, WoWs in the lead again now

Also im pretty sure not everybody who plays WoW/COD2 well anything uses xfire so it makes it all void

Seriously though COD2 is utter garbage.

utajoker · 15 Jun 2007 at 09:59

bit OT but does any1 on vista have xfire working in game? mine works but i have to minimize to talk to people

*raises hand*

I play more COD1 though.

people use Xfire to see which server their mates are in therefore COD2 will be higher than WoW as loads of WOW users don't need Xfire as they don't change servers very often.

Xfire replaced ASE as the game server browser of choice.

and it's one of the best bang for buck applications I've ever installed.

EDIT; The reason that WoW is strongly represented is that a high percentage of FPS gamers moved to WoW and already had xfire installed for use when they were playing FPS games and it's a great system to chat with.

V4NT0M · 15 Jun 2007 at 15:39

Wow, i didnt know COD2 was anywhere near that popular, definitley not more popular than CS... hmmmm

KNiVES · 15 Jun 2007 at 15:50

Steam (CSS) has friends, which reduces the need for a separate friends chat client. Although it could be said that's a little invalid now that CoD is available on steam, but that was only since so late in its lifetime anyway.
