Is there a website or something where you can see what games are currently being played online and how many people are playing it? I would like to buy some older games I had played (rentals) before I had XBOX LIVE! and revisit them online and maybe flesh out my gamerscore, but I'm not feeling like purchasing them and finding out when I log on that no one is there to play with and I just threw out X ammount of money, even if it is only 10-20 bucks. Say for instance Splinter Cell: Double Agent or Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfare. Older games whose Campaigns were fun, but are completed now and would only buy them for the multiplayer achievement aspect of them. I really think there should be a service like this out there if there isn't already. It would probably get more people interested in buying older games and taking them online.

I still play COD3 online a lot. It isn't really that old, but everyone now plays COD4. Not many people are on live playing COD3.

 

Yeah, CoD3 is what I had out when my XBOX died, so I returned it. I was thinking of picking it up with some holiday money, but wasn't sure if anyone would be playing online, that's one of the reasons I thought of this topic.

 

If there were a service like this, it could be anonymous. Not giving the names of people playing what game, just a number of how many people are playing. But m$ probably is the only one that would have those numbers. Then again, I know nothing about programming, so I could be wrong.

360voice.com has something like what you are looking for, it only tracks members of course, but the site has over 100,000 members so it's a decent cross section of the XBL community. For each game there is a chart showing how many people have been playing that particular game while online.

Does it have a date range of how recently? I was kind of thinking more along the lines of a real time tracking system, but if it has a log of at least the last week or 2, that would be acceptable. Can you provide a link to the page you are referring to?

There is the page for CoD3, it shows the breakdown day by day for the last month.
