As our more astute readers likely gathered from this very post's headline, another week has gone, so it's about time we checked in with Major Nelson to see what made his list of the most-played games on Xbox Live. Unsurprisingly, Bungie's dynamic duo of Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST managed to do well, taking the first and third spots, respectively -- Call of Duty 4 was in the second slot, while Forza 3's demo managed to get some play time on folks' boxes, taking a tight turn into the seventh place spot.
On the XBLA side, Trials HD did backflips to the top of the list, beating out recent releases Zombie Apocalypse and Bust-A-Move Live!. The remainder of the XBLA list saw favorites Battlefield 1943 and Shadow Complex rounding out the bottom end of the top five.

A thing to remember it was a 2 disc set. So it's kinda skewed because half could be playing ODST the other half could go back to playing Halo3 multiplayer.

Well if your playing the multi-player disc from ODST it registers as Halo 3 not ODST so thats probaly part of the reason. No game has spent more time in the #1 spot than HALO3 not even COD4 or 5.
Theres just something about the multi-player in H3 that always sucks me back in.. It never gets old and it shows.
