Games We Play Top-10 [12 Oct 07]

[Ronin Storm]

I should write this into Play Finder but until I do, here's a quick snapshot of the top-10 games active THNers say they're interested in:

1. Battlefield 2 [17]
2. Counter Strike Source [17]
3. World of Warcraft [14]
4. Half Life 2: Deathmatch [13]
5. Battlefield 2142 [12]
6. Unreal Tournament 2004 [11]
7. Team Fortress 2 [10]
8. Trackmania: Nations [9]
9. Mafia / Werewolf [9]
10. Command & Conquer 3 [9]

32 THNers were in this sample.

That's an interesting list and some of the games on there surprise me. I've not seen any THNers actually play HL2 DM, for example. So this isn't a list of our most active games by any means but a guess towards what games people might play if an event was made around them.

Worth noting that some games need more players to get going than others. I regularly see Company of Heroes being played but the nature of RTS games is that smaller numbers of players make for a successful game. If only 4 turn up for BF2 then it can be a bit crap.

So, ya, discuss.

Team fortress might actually be more depending on people being uptodate with the games we play part .

(I just realised i hadn't updated so that is now 11.)

Although Ronin, you have set the heading to : "Games You Are Interested In", on play finder, rather than "Games You Actually Play"

Fair point, though it's meant to distinguish between all the games in the list and the games you've subscribed to... I'll consider renaming it.

I've got HL2 DM and would be more than willing to play a few games of it but I only got it a couple of months ago and no-one seems to be playing it. I got it in a pack with CS and DoD and have the same situation with those as well. Also, anyone wanting a game will have to put up with me doing crap as I've barely played any of them

BF2 seems to have died off again after a brief revival and 2142 doesn't hold my interest as much so they're not particularly hot contenders as far as I can see.

The biggest problem as far as I can see is that all of the games that we used to play as a community (BF2, WoW etc) are either dying or dead, and there's not much new yet. 2142's clan matches and the release of TF2 will hopefully change that.
