Multiplayer on games that no one is playing.

[EcHoFiiVe]

Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 4 are barren wastelands. The original FEAR which for some reason I put in for multiplayer the other day had zero people online.

 

[Icehearted]

Prey and Puzzle Quest were pretty much always empty.

 

[Trivun]

Any non-tier 1 MP. Everyone is always on playing the same titles:

Newest Halo
Newest CoD
Borderlands
Diablo II (Still, I know)
WoW
Starcraft II
MvC3
SSF4
Madden

And that's about it.

Ummmmm, try playing the original Halo on PC. Even about a decade after release it's still got one of the most dedicated and prolific online communities I've seen on a PC game in a very long time. WoW doesn't count in my statement, either. Hell, I've played a few games not so long ago on there myself (well, before my stupid crappy laptop decided the disc drive should break down...).

Anyone remember Chrome Hounds? I wanted to try that game so bad, but when the chance finally came for me to actually play it (finally had the 360 and wireless adapter) they shut the fucking servers down...

Bioshock 2 i can't get 1 game.

Bioshock 2 i can't get 1 game.

Shame, I really loved Bioshock two's multiplayer. It told an interesting story and was really fun. What system are you on?

Homeworld, Ground Control, Populous and Dark Reign

Thier fan bases were pretty dedicated at one point, you could always find 50+ people playing, but over the last two years they died.

I remember playing Turok (360 version) one day after it was released. I met the same player 5 times in the space of an hour. There was no-one else playing that game. Needless to say it was returned as soon as I finished the campaign.

i didn't even finish the campaign. it i hated it that much.

OT: does anyone still play Aliens vs Predator anymore? I played the demo a couple times and that was it for me.

 

[TacticalAssassin1]

GTA.
Bloody empty on PC.

 

[Okysho]

Castlevania Judgement.

This

And Smash brothers Brawl, not that you'd be able to tell because if your connection drops out, you're replaced with a computer anyways without ever knowing.

 

[Laser Priest]

Castle Crashers.

This is still more fun than most of the games people are playing online.

 

[Iggy Rufflebar]

Last few time I've tried to play assassins creed brotherhood on XBL i haven't been able to find a game which sucks. Anyone still playing?

you need to get a couple of new updates and possibly the new DLC to make it work, yeah it isn't explained anywhere but i'm finding a lot more games these days on it

 

[Haydyn]

Can't find anyone for Castle Crashers, Halo 3, or Saint's Row 2. It's sad in a way.

 

[Queltherio]

Fifa street, Blacksite: Area 51, Avatar, SoulCalibur 4

 

[TheRobotandtheBeast]

Dark sector, brothers in arms: hells highway and assault on dark athena

Captha: ortermai (when

 

[SpiderHam666]

Shadowrun which is awesome because it is cross platform for pc and xbox on same games and even with two sources of players there are very few to be found.

well hell you can ALWAYS find a game if you really look for it

Can't find anyone for Castle Crashers, Halo 3, or Saint's Row 2. It's sad in a way.

This may just be me being ignorant, but what's the point of Castle Crashers online? When I got the game a while ago, I was able to play through it by myself. With additional players, I imagine it would be totally boring. (Note: I never played the lame button-mashing games that are part of Castle Crashers.)

It's not the difficulty that makes online play fun. You can help your friends out, go over different weapons and pets, and ya, at the end of the day it is a lot easier online. Less work, potions automatically kick in when you die. Plus it is very satisfactory hearing your friend's reactions in game. I told my friend if he stood under the owl he would get a weapon. He did, and the owl took a huge crap on him. That is pure lowbrow fun right there. But you do have a valid point, as for most of the game you are fighting along side your friends. Then again thre's those blasted 256ers. Now that defeats the purpose of a game.
