that I had was in playing the Timesplitters series. The splitscreen was awesome(as well as the co op) and the multiplayer had a whole host of features including a mapmaker. What is your favorite fps multiplayer?
The Best FPS Multiplayer Experience

Valve's MP games are always fun, but my preference would have to be good old Half-Life Opposing Force.
Bad Company 2. That's an experience. I still love Halo and TF2, but when a Rush game goes right in BC2 and you go through four or five stations in one life, nearly dying with tons of explosions everywhere, with your teammates falling all around you and just mowing down the enemies with the reflexes from a massive adrenaline rush, it can be the most epic feeling in the world.
This is probably mostly nostalgia speaking, but I loved Team Fortress Classic. I was good with just about every class (except demoman, which I could never aim with), and I loved the experience of playing with other people.
This next one might be cheating because it was technically a third-person shooter, but you could put it into a FPS mode, so what the hell. What I loved even more was SOCOM (SOCOM II, III, Combined Assault, etc.). I remember the nights of staying up late with friends, putting a conference call together and going to town. I loved the maps, the weapons, the controls, everything. I especially loved the campaigns (and that's a good thing ever since they started requiring campaign playthroughs on various difficulties to unlock all the weapons/add-ons). To this day, I have to constantly talk myself of getting a PS3 just so I can get the latest SOCOM game. Maybe next generation...

Consistently I'd say TF2. Most variation and definitely the most lulz.
But when it does work...oh boy. Especially when your squad really works together, is a coherent team, and the game really has frontlines and all that, it feels so very very right.
Good heavens yes. Sadly it's often brought down by just as deep lows.Phlakes said:

TF2 the game great. valve still supports it. HATS!!. the community is awesome. (only game i enjoyed being griefed ever. damn those guys can be classy.)
Definitely this. Need I say more?Dudemanword said:
Actually, I probably do, so I don't get a warning for low post content...
Hmm well I would also probably say Halo 3 and Reach. More halo 3 than reach because I haven't milked reach of all it's goodness yet.
Mainly because even when I get bored of the Coop campaign, firefight or matchmaking I can always go back to custom games!
Custom games have the same sort of charm that playing split screen with your mates did back before online gaming was so big.

Planetside.
I think I'll be one of the very few people who will say that, but no game has ever gotten close to being as awesome as Planetside. With the possible exception of Dust 514.
Best time playing an FPS occurred while BFR hunting with my Phoenix, and my NC brethren launched a Vanguard column at their base. I managed to pick off 4 Vanu BFRs before I got pwned by a sniper. But yeah, we took that base. And the entire continent a few hours later. Once we broke through that stronghold the Vanu couldn't hold us back. The brave NC soldiers and out mighty Jackhammers and Vanguard tanks were unstoppable that night.
I've never experienced anything better than a massive FPS battle featuring hundreds of soldiers on either side. MAG was pretty darn good, but it didn't have the scope that Planetside had. Strategic bombing runs, BFR hunting, tank rushes, covert ops (stupid cloaked assholes and their knives), galaxy drops, breaching a choke point held by two dozen Vanu soldiers all holding Lashers. Good times were had by all.
Someone really needs to make a successor to Planetside. I'm hoping that Dust 514 is that game.

Well said dude, lets hope the "Battlefield" moment (need to give it a name) lives on in Battlefield 3.Phlakes said:
I like games like L4D and Killing Floor, that outright force you to work together, if you don't I hope you have a can of lube on hand.
Nothing feels better than a game of Killing Floor, to run from a horde of specimens to the back of my team members, while they mow down the enemies and quickly heal you.
They're helping you for the sake that they don't die, but hell, I'll take it any day over people who just continually rush a point and hope that people aren't far behind them to back him up (which they usually won't).
So Killing Floor.

As much as I loved Bad Company 2's MP, I hope they fix the only real problem I had with it. I couldn't stand that if your were running, that you couldn't turn unless you stopped running. I wouldn't mind if the game made you stop running when you turned, but having to press shift again before you can turn gets annoying when you're used to being able to swing your mouse and fire.Phlakes said:
It wasn't so bad on console, but console also had a bit of auto-aim to make up for it.
Perfect Dark imo was probably the most fun I have ever had in a multiplayer game though. But I also haven't played Timesplitters 2 or 3 against anything but bots so... I my friends would play that, than that would probably be the most fun.
L4D and BC2. I love cooperative games, especially shooters. But because of being a team-based game, sometimes the experience can be really shitty if you are with people who don't understand what teamwork is. I would include a racing game but finding a lobby with people who don't slam into you is about as rare as seeing Bigfoot.
