Seen them use both. and often a mixture of them- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein

I would bet the majority use both. I'm they all use at least some TCP.
I would guess that fast-paced games (ie shooters, RTS) use a lot of UDP for player movements. Turn-based games are probably mostly or entirely TCP.
I've never packet traced it or anything, but I feel fairly confident in those guesses. -

TCP for chat conversations
UDP for moving data. Server sends a signal to play an animation stored on the client computer.
I haven't looked at a stream thoughIn order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

Depends on the game. Check out this site for a few details about specific games: Findports - Router/firewall ports database and game system requirements
