Xbox Live Sets New User Record
by Chris Faylor, Nov 12, 2009 1:34pm PSTJust two days after the debut of Modern Warfare 2, Microsoft's online console gaming service Xbox Live has hit a new record, with more than two million users connected at once.
The announcement came out of today's BMO Capital Markets Digital Entertainment Conference, as relayed by Microsoft PR manager David Dennis and Xbox Live programming director Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb.
The exact impact that Modern Warfare 2 had in reaching the record was not revealed, but with over 4.7 million copies sold on opening day and 995,462 playing the Xbox 360 version on Xbox Live as of this writing, it's clear the influence was substantial.

As a father of 3 wonderful kids the most they can expect, is too play offline. As I will not introduce them to this sort off behaviour, something I may add was way out of reach for them on pc gaming as they couldnt convince their parents to buy them a £1500 PC. But now they are shoved infront of a televison and given an xbox account and unleashed upon the world. Meanwhile their own parents go and do there own things while their beloved demon child terrorises everybody else!
And yes I do get sick or reoprting them to M$ it seem you report one and 2 take there place!

Well, the game has been out for a few days and I hope we're all having fun. I am just here to remind the shack that an Xbox Live gamertag has been created to coordinate the Xbox Live Modern Warfare 2 Shack Rape Squad. The list is almost full with a body count of 95. Post a reply or shackmessage me to get an invite. Original thread here: http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?id=21009232#itemanchor_21009232
ThomW, I never heard back from you. I sent an invite but your friends list is full.
I look forward to playing with you guys soon. Remember to obey your commanding officer in the field, kodiak, until I arrive. Game on, gentlemen. Game on.
Note: Dr. Alco already has a Steam group set up for those of you that went with the PC version.
