Popularity of games is tricky too. Games like Medal of Honor and Battlefield 1942 always got high ratings from what I saw. While fun in their own silly ways, the ridiculously low realism bothered me. In BF 1942 the first thing you notice as a German trooper is that you're holding a gun from 1944 lol. Troopers in both games are too bulletproof. I didn't think they could hold a candle to World War 2 Online, which got (and deserved) horrible ratings in its first couple of years, but infantry play (eventually) became so much more than any of the aforementioned.
