Poll: What kind of multiplayer do YOU like?

[xDarc]

FEAR was the last game that had truly great twitch multiplayer. It was funny because consolized shooters were already starting the decline in competitive FPS gaming. The noobs were noobier, but the oldskoolers were still allowed to do what they'd been doing for a decade.

The result was lots of matches where I could go 8-1 to 10-1 kill-death ratio; scoring more than 80 kills in a 10-15 minute roiund. I remember sometimes you'd see like 95/5 after a 15 minute round. Games like BF3/COD don't allow people to do that anymore, because they know it causes people to quit in disgust. Bad for sales.

A lot of the folks who remember competitive gaming during the big tourney years, where people rocket jumped around maps with god like reflexes, are of the opinion that post-xbox gamers have no idea what competitive gaming is.

P.S. I came across this last night and thought it was very fitting.

Co-oP, i like being able to call in back up should i need it

where as PvP of any flavor is useless to me, since its pretty much all a dick measuring contest

Co-Op without a doubt. I don't have any friends so I usually play with some randoms. Recently I've been playing Syndicate's Co-op and I've noticed that most randoms are good if not great. Of course, there are some exceptions. I don't really care for competitive MP, mostly because I have a short temper and will flip if I don't do well. Because of it I've avoided competitive MP since Black Ops.

I gotta go with Co-op. L4D series, hoard modes like in the Mass Effect 3 multi-player demo...those really get into my good spot.

I like every multiplayer that is present in non MMORPG game and is made professionally, with above average quality.

Co-op. Group of friends working toward a common goal, what could be better?

This is what finally made me try and then love Minecraft.

I love gaming in the same room with a bunch of friends. Some of my best times have been playing Halo 2 with a few friends or getting together once in a while for a big Budokai tournament at my friend's house. Of course when this isn't possible, playing online is cool too. Though I rarely go into an online game without at least one person I know with me.

I like both online and offline co-operative. I also enjoy a good bout of competitive co-op (working together,but competing for a higher score).

the only two multiplayer games i've really, really gotten into are TF2 and the hidden source beta, an objective team v team multiplayer shooter and a sort of pseudo juggernaught co op affair respectively.

i only really have fun with competitive multiplayer if i'm any good at it, and since the only way to get good at a multiplayer game is to get your ass kicked so often that you eventually know what you're doing. this is probably the reason i started playing TF2, because even if you have no idea how to play that game there's always heavy XD

I love co-op of all sorts. Splitscreen or a group of players vs. the game are my favorites. But Competitive is the type that I keep going back to.
