There’s a lot of shooters around right now, each of them having their own claim to fame. Talking about the Xbox 360, you know the shooters are taking center stage. But who’s getting the most playtime out of all of them? As of the latest report from Major Nelson, the most-played game on Xbox Live is still Modern Warfare 2.

Here’s the Top 20, based on unique users:

1. Modern Warfare 2
2. Halo 3
3. Call of Duty: WaW
4. FIFA 10
5. Battlefield Bad Co. 2
6. Call of Duty 4
7. GTA IV
8. Toy Soldiers
9. Gears of War 2
10. Left 4 Dead 2
11. Borderlands
12. Just Cause 2 Demo

18. BioShock 2
19. Assassin’s Creed II 
20. NHL 10

Half that list is made up of shooters, and lookie here, Modern Warfare 2 tops them all. The game that has been played by 25 million users still commands the most air time on Xbox Live. Catching up to that may be Battlefield: Bad Company 2, still new and right up there in the sales charts. But with a new map pack coming for MW2, it might hold on to the top spot for a bit longer.
