It may not be surprising, but Microsoft’s current Xbox blogging daddy Major Nelson has confirmed that Halo 3 has already claimed the crown of Xbox Live’s most active title.

Bungie’s predecessor Halo 2 had held the crown for some considerable time, though it had faced stern challenges recently from the likes of Rainbow Six: Vegas, Madden 08, the Call of Duty 4 Beta and Gears of War, which was topping the list up until Halo 3’s release.
