Top 20 Games Being Played Now  by Shane L at 08:33

PC
According to Gamespy these are the top 20 games being played at the moment, what is interesting to note is the fact a game which is almost 6 years old sits nicely at the top of the pile, by a considerable margin aswell.

1. Half Life - 37414 servers, 70248 players
2. Half Life 2 - 11310 servers, 36271 players
3. Call of Duty - 6912 servers, 13322 players
4. Unreal Tournament 2004 - 3047 servers, 7198 players
5. Americas Army: Special Forces - 2010 servers, 7170 players
6. Neverwinter Nights - 1429 servers, 6138 players
7. Battlefield 1942 - 2563 servers, 5411 players
8. Medal of Honor Allied Assault - 2485 servers, 3822 players
9. Quake 3: Arena - 2391 servers, 3770 players
10. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Spearhead - 1485 servers, 3324 players
11. Soldier of Fortune 2 - 1651 servers, 3166 players
12. Battlefield: Vietnam - 1275 servers, 2973 players
13. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - 2291 servers, 2942 players
14. Halo: Combat Evolved - 813 servers, 2607 players
15. Unreal Tournament - 2473 servers, 2430 players
16. Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy - 627 servers, 1446 players
17. SWAT 4 - 421 servers, 1344 players
18. Lord of the Rings: The Battle For Middle-Earth - 230 servers, 735 players
19. Vietcong - 360 servers, 682 players
20. Tribes 2 - 142 servers, 634 players

A couple of things to add to this really though, I dont know anybody who uses Gamespy so this list is kinda misleading, also im slightly dissapointed that Yeti Sports is not on there.

Thanks Ign.com

Doesn't need anyone to use gamespy to track that data.

Anyway I used to use gamespy3d, I have a lifetime subscription, but they started making it more and more of a pain to download and update, gamespy arcade is what they want us to use now, and it's frankly shite.

Yeah as mani says, the stats come from servers/master lists, not the gamespy client.

I think the only two that suprise me a little are Quake 3 and Jedi Knight, incrediable they are still so active.

But thats still not a reflection of everything coz they missed out all the Battle.net games, which i know still draw loads of players. and wow etc, so Starcraft + Diablo2 would be in there for sure i think
