No...

Everyone is playing COD or BF3 now.

Surely you don't think that posting Steam stats has any bearing on whether people are playing BF3?

As of this post, current players in each game (Steam stats for CS/MW3, BFstats.com for BF3), only PC versions.

BF3: 126,304
MW3: 18,568
CSS: 46,000

Just for kicks, Xbox 360 and PS3 stats for BF3. I couldn't find any console stats for MW3, but you can bet it is probably much more than the PC version.

BF3 PS3: 101,669
BF3 X360: 93,927

Take it as you will.

I stopped playing CS around 1.5, I played CS:S for a while and enjoyed it, but by that time I was already sold on BF games. CS:S and MW3 are more tactical, BF is more strategic. I think that is why CS:S and MW3 are chosen for pro leagues; MW3/CS:S are more reliant on individual skill rather than team skill.
