What is your favourite multiplayer ever?

[ShinyCharizard]

Of all the multiplayer games I've ever played. My favourite is battlefield bad company 2 on Xbox. It was easily the best military shooter ever. Ihe feel of the game was just fantastic, the vehicles were fun to use and the level design was Excellent.

SO competitive or co-op what is your favourite multiplayer game?

Mario Kart Double Dash! I don't play multiplayer very often at all as you may be able to tell. I enjoyed Halo 3 and Reach enough but then I realized that XBL-Gold is a rip off and haven't missed it since I unsubscribed.

So yeah, DOUBLE DASH!!

I think my favourite co-op ever would have to be phantasy star online.

I remember me and a friend used to rent it out from blockbuster every weekend, sleep over and play it constantly. Can not wait for PSO2.

Favourite competitive? Hmmm......sadly, I am thinking of LoL. Although I stopped playing it close to a year ago, when you had a pre-made team of 5 with skype, and you were doing ranked games, it was good fun. Unfortunately stopped playing because we hadn't done any pre-made games in a while and I was sick to death of randoms.

I think my favourite has to be Battlefield 1942. It was the game that introduced me to competitive multiplayer and is still, to my mind, one of the best multiplayer games out there, even today. Both FFA and clan wars were amazing and the community, at least in Denmark was awesome, since basically everyone knew everyone in it and got along fairly well. Also, the very active mod community made the game even more awesome, with my personal favourite being Forgotten Hope.

Other than that, I'll say Killzone 2 and 3. It's the best multiplayer I've played since BF1942 and they're great fun, even if they're lacking planes, boats and vehicle. The focus on infantry combat is a strength for the game though, weapons feel meaty and sound great and the melee is appropriately visceral. The game modes, especially Warzone works great, because it means the action shift all over the maps and makes sure there are no real and secure camping spots.

An honourable mention also goes to SWG, a really fun MMO, until SOE "upgraded" the combat and basically ruined the game. I know it doesn't really fit into either category, but it's still an online game and I thought it worth mentioning.

Unreal Tournament. It's the only online shooter i've ever got into and enjoyed.

I don't play co-op games.

I am going to try Planetside 2 tomorrow though. I've got no more clients until next year now (the joy of a personal trainer, we hardly work) so i'm trying things I wouldn't normally be interested in just in case.

Competitive: Call of duty or Counter Strike, both of them are damn good. Honorable mention to Mario Kart and Mario Party series.

Co-op: Left 4 dead. Its a no brainer. VERY good game as well. Honorable mention to Borderlands series.

 

[JayElleBee]

Journey. <3 The only multiplayer game I'll ever willingly play.

 

[scorptatious]

Probably either Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead series.

Journey's also really a good co-op game in the non-traditional sense.

 

[TheRussian]

Team Fortress 2.
The only multiplayer game built from the ground up to be enjoyable. The rest are handicapped by a company that sets out with a firm idea of what the finished product is going to be, and stubbornly sticks to it.

My favorite competitive multi-player game is probably still Time Splitters Future Perfect.....I spent hours playing that game with my friends. Tons of modes and variations that have just started to come back in popularity. Lot's of unlockable characters, most where just cosmetic changes (except for the monkeys....they were too small and fast to be considered a cosmetic change) and it had a fun single player mode Honorable Mention: Persona 4 Arena. I love fighting games and P4A kept the awesome art style and incorporated RPG elements into a fighter...plus it has a decent netcode so fighting online isn't much of a pain.


Co-op multi-player goes to Rainbow Six:Vegas. Terrorist hunt was a fantastic mode that really challenged my friends and I. Sure it was cheap at times with monster closets and spawning guys behind you at times but that was one game where I felt like you really needed to rely on your squadmates to help you through.

 

[LoLife]

Streets of Rage 2 & Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament (once upon a time before the internet)
Team Fortress 2 & Left 4 Dead 2 (Shooters)
Guild Wars 2 & SWG (MMO's)

 

[Lucyfer86]

I assume MMO's aren't valid, so i say Diablo 2.

 

[Zanderinfal]

Splitscreen Borderlands 1: Game of the Year Edition. If you play it with a friend and you play all of the DLC packs then you will have to most fun in your life. Assuming you can share loot that is.

 

[hazabaza1]

Difficult question. I've had a lot of good memories playing the Champions of Norrath series with friends as well as Timesplitters, but Journey has some very unique and incredibly memorable implementation of multiplayer.

 

[Myndnix]

That's very easy. Two Gamecube games.
Super Smash Bros. Melee and Mario Kart Double Dash.
I haven't played either in years, but for years, from about 2002 to about 2005, every friday after school, I'd play either of them with my friends. And we spent at least one summer playing non-stop. We did it so often that I still remember who everyone liked to play, even. I played Mewtwo, one guy played Roy, another played Falco, another played Samus, another played Dr. Mario or Mr. Game and Watch, one played Captain Falcon...hell, sometimes even my sister would join in. She'd play Peach.
Ha, those were the days.
Sadly I've grown extremely bitter these last couple of years, and now I just can't be bothered with multiplayer anymore.
It didn't help that Super Smash Bros. Brawl was such a huge step backward in terms of quality.

World of Warcraft, because...World of Warcraft. Love it / hate it / hate what it has become / love what it has become / doesn't change the fact that it's one of the most influential multiplayer games of all time. '

I enjoyed the competitive aspects of rated PvP and PvE progression.

I like MP games that take a good deal of skill and depth to master. MP games with rigid competition and normally no true cop-out easy way to win I guess.

For shooters, Quake, UT2k4, and CS1.6 are the best damn shooters I have ever played. Fast paced, intense, tactical, and chaotic. I could play these games forever, they just never get old for me; though I have to give Halo a shout out as well. There have been something lost in shooters today that these games had which made them stand out and special. I honestly hate the direction most shooters today have taken, though there are still a few shining beacons out there.

Fighting games are probably these best competitive MP I've ever experienced, even despite the rage they will induce at times. Of course the fighters that stand out for me are Arc system works very own Guilty Gear and Blazblue. Fast, intense, bone crushing depth, excellent timeless gameplay. Guilty Gear is the best fighting game ever for me, and I can't wait till I get my grubby mits on Accent Core R and start kicking ass with Chipp and Baiken again. A little cautious about BBCP and some of its changes, but we shall see; I will continue to obliterate all with Hakumen - the white void.

I have made plenty of friends, rivals, and black listed people over my time playing fighters, and it's always fun getting a room up for us and playing for hours to see what bullshit come back one of us makes next "p

For a while Uncharted 2 was pretty well tops for me in the multi department. I thought the Uncharted jump-climb-shoot style really lent itself well to chaotic team-based pvp.

Then came Red Dead Redemption. Since then I haven't really played any multiplayer titles that have really held me for long. Barring 2-D fighters. I can get stuck on those for months.
