    Wow people are still playing Black Ops on last gen, I'm honestly impressed.

    Just picked up a copy of Black Ops 1 for PS3 in Gamestop's 4 for 10 deal and I was shocked in the amount of people still playing.

    I didn't expect no more than 5-10k people but I hopped on and there is 44K people playing as of this post.

    I'm honestly shocked that such a old game is still alive and kicking. What old online games are you guys are shocked that they are still around.

    I'm still suprised to see people playing Quake: Live. I mean, Quake is already a niche franchise, and Quake: Live is a game from 2008. There's not a lot of players, but those that still play are as loyal as loyal can be. And they're also very good.

    Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. Surprised how quickly I could get into matches a while ago when I played.

    Quake Live is essentially just an updated Quake 3, it's not all that surprising there's still people playing that.

    I sat down for 3 hours this morning playing it through GOG's version. there still has not been made a better rpg than that. NWN2 came close but no cigar.

    BO1 still being active doesn't surprise me, aside from the typical barriers to getting into CoD games (microtransactions uuuuuuuugh) that entry is really good.

    I barely played it when I did (I had the diamond release) I need to go back and give it a go.

    ghosts and for me Advance warfare fall into that "meh" tier. which is weird because I don't hate the jumping mechanics in BOIII.

    Outside of the 'get hype' culture people don't stop playing on old consoles. I was playing Lost Planet 2 on my PS3 just the other day with some friends. If folks still play on stuff like the PC Engine or Atari 2600 why would people playing on a PS3 be any different?

    Thanks for reminding me, I still need to play the Lost Planet series. I only played a little bit of the first one.

    I think AW had the potential to be the best CoD.

    Too bad Sledgehammer are extremely crappy developers who abandon their product almost directly after they release it. AW got flooded with cheaters who weren't being banned and the same thing has happened to WWii. The leaderboard top 50 is filled with obvious cheaters with kill/death ratios between 20 and 80 who're still playing.

    I'll never ever buy another Sledgehammer game again.

    Honestly it's not even super bad. One time my team did a pistol only just to gimp ourselves and we went 75-3

    Not entirely surprising. Many people can not afford a PS4/Xbone and those that could I know many that gave their ps3/Xbox360's to their younger siblings to use who continue to play last Gen.

    2 is very similar in a lot of respects to monster hunter and its good fun. 3 was part of Capcoms "we want western appeal and that means action shooters" strategy that nearly bankrupted them and its just a bad dead space clone which is itself deeply ironic coming from the RE4 developers. Avoid it like the plague.

    While true the gap between owners of a PS3 and Owners of a PS4 is quite small. Last reported the PS3 sold around 86 million units and PS4 is now over 70 million, In the next year it will likely pass up the Ps3.

    I'm also sure there is some like myself who have both hooked up. I'm just impressed that a old game has such a active player base. I just checked the PC version and its dead.

    oh yeah I don't dislike AW I just found BOIII to be a lot more fun, I'm still in love with what they did with the shadows of evil zombie level. plus I'm a sucker for classes in online shooters.
