So much fun!

Few multiplayer games addicted me as much as this. Too bad it was a commercial failure and, a few months after the game's launch, on console you'd only find a couple hundred players tops, many of which hackers. This game redesigned with a F2P model in mind would do wonders today imho.

Socom 2

yep. still waiting for that new socom game news....

 

[jezhumphrey75]

Yes OP, HARD agree on Jedi Outcast. God, I loved the multiplayer so much. Hell, I thought the Jedi Academy multiplayer was pretty cool too for what it was.

Personally I'd be all about...

Quake II
UT
UT2004
TFC

can still get games of tfc bud

 

[jezhumphrey75]

Battlefield 3 Close Quarters. Loved playing that.

bf3 is still popular on pc if that helps

 

[xrnzaaas]

I'm not a huge fan of multiplayer, but I was quite engaged in all of the social components of Driveclub like creating custom challenges with friends and gaffers participating. It's a shame it's completely dead now because of the server closure and all of your challenges and leaderboard times got wiped.

 

[jezhumphrey75]

So much fun!

The reason why i bought a ps3

 

[Deleted member 801069]

TFC would be fun

 

[Blond]

Unreal 2004. The peak of that game cannot be matched and it’s weird to me how much people complain yet the unreal on epic store goes unplayed as it does.

 

[Ceadeus]

Pso1.

Pso2 is just a chore , over saturated with bloated meaningless stuff.

I also wish to go back to the 6th gen online gaming. To discover the beginning of mmorpg on console(everquest,ff11) and early Xbox live days.

 

[eastcoastkody]

Uncharted 4 & Battlefield V multiplayer suck

i wish Uncharted 2 & Bad Company 2 multiplayer still existed. They were maybe my favorite and most played online experiences on PS3

 

[MiguelItUp]

can still get games of tfc bud

Correct, but I'm talking about HARDCORE population, haha.

 

[crozier]

Everquest Online Adventures
Lord of the Rings: War in the North

 

[The Alien]

i might be the only one , but i want Transformers War for Cybertron multiplayer back !!

Also BioShock 2

Lol. I thought I was the only one who liked Bioshock 2 multi-player.

 

[Arkam]

Tiger Woods PGA - Online Tournaments. Was awesome to be playing “against” live PGA pro scores and other players.

 

[888]

I read thread title. Thought Jedi Knight. Clicked thread. Was not disappointed.

 

[Codes 208]

Gears of War 3

If halo MCC hadn’t already revitalized halo 3, that easily would’ve been my pick.

 

[BootsLoader]

James Bond Goldeneye and Perfect Dark 64.
I think I said enough.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Bad Company 2

Yup, this is my answer too.

Never had a game feel so emergent for me, so many cool moments that happened on the fly but felt like big budget set pieces.

Incredible game.

 

[DoomGyver]

Socom: Confrontation it had a lot of issues at launch but the devs really made it right. Shame they shutdown the servers.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Have you tried Quake Live? I don't but it seems to be very similar.

Played it a couple years, is practically dead now. And don't get me started on that Quake cHaMpIoNs abomination.

 

[Desudzer10]

Halo 2
Killzone 2
Homefront( the first one). I know I'm in the minority with this game but i loved the multiplayer and how it was set up.

 

[Belmonte]

Uncharted 2 beta
Metal Gear Online 2

These three I didn't play but I wish I did:

Metal Gear Online 1
Pandora Tomorrow/ Chaos Theory: Spies vs Mercs
Twisted Metal PS3

Red Faction Guerilla. I miss sniping ppl through multiple walls with a railgun, learning weapon and ammo spawn locations, using multiple awesome weapons to tear through buildings to get guys hiding inside, or myself respawning and running inside for gear only to take out the pillars that held the thing up and have it tumble around me while I jetpack through a window or the roof. The Rhino pack was also a blast to use. Also the struggle to fight and race agianst other players for the mini-nuke launcher thing was great too! So many great memories. Can't believe no one has topped that game's destruction since, I don't think that voxel game is that impressive tbh.

I know it has a remaster out, but I try to avoid remasters with a few exceptions. I want a new game. I bet the mp is just as small and dead as the first.

 

[Pejo]

James Bond Goldeneye and Perfect Dark 64.
I think I said enough.

The best times. Pity the sucker that starts out in the bathroom in Facility. Sitting duck (unless slappers only).

Also, answering OP - Warhawk and FFXI (75 cap).

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

 

[R6Rider]

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

^^^^ Didn't even see latest post lol

 

[lobsteroid]

Bad Company 2!
I really miss the MP part of that game, all the BF’s after it never matched all the fun gameplay to be had in BC2

 

[IDKFA]

Goldeneye, but with modern graphics. Also make online and local co-op.

 

[Halo is Back]

BF4 and BC2

 

[TalentedMrJ]

Killzone Shadowfall

 

[Lupingosei]

Crimson Skies

Best answer

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

A KZ2 remake for PS5 and a WarHawk remake/sucessor for PS5.

Thise games and the MP communitiea around them were thw saving grace of competitive online MP for me. Some of the best MP gaming of all time.

 

[Zoanoid33]

Socom for sure.

A remake of Rainbow Six 3 Raven Shield

Battlefield going back to what it was pre BF1

Console space is wide open for tactical/realistic shooters. Can't believe no one has captured this audience for almost a decade now.

 

[Phase]

and every other Tribes game.

 

[Damian Monroe]

Rainbow 6 Black Arrow
Midtown Madness 3
Played these on the orginal xbox boss

 

[STARSBarry]

insane DM



insane random game modes.

Half-Life mods truly where the height of multiplayer.

 

[ResilientBanana]

Rune, Tribes, Quake, Quake III

 

[sainraja]

Warhawk



Starhawk

 

[Flintty]

Back in the early days of Xbox live there were two games that stuck out. Unreal Championship and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. These games made me friends I still know today.

The skill curve on UC was brutal and I did pretty well!

special mention for CounterStrike Xbox. That was fucking awesome.

 

[SaturnSaturn]

Test Drive Unlimited and Killzone Liberation

 

[Marcus Aurelius]

 

[Shrennin]

Star Wars Galaxies (pre-NGE version) as well as City of Heroes/Villains.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Quake 3 Arena
Team Fortress Classic
Day of Defeat
Battlefield 2 and 3 PC
Street Fighter 3

FPS for this entire past gen have been complete shit. Battle Royale and Hero Shooterz are garbage and always will be. Battlefield at its heights was untouchable. I used to have a huge crew that played BF at a very high level for years - this entire gen didnt have a single good entry. Crazy to see how far that series has fallen.

I blame this all on the new age of game designers - they simply dont understand how to make a good MP. All the talent left or retired years ago.
At least the golden age of Halo is preserved and still populated with the MCC.

 

[wolfboy203]

Battlefield 2
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Company of Heroes

And just out of curiosity Killzone 2 (only fps I ever played on a console)

I absolutely LOVED Bad Company 2's multiplayer! Some of the most fun I had in a multiplayer game! The maps, the sound effects, the explosions and destruction never got old!

 

[Marcus Aurelius]

Quake 3 Arena
Team Fortress Classic
Day of Defeat

Ow yeah, Battlefield 2 was amazing.

 

[Tschumi]

This might sound silly but I have extremely fond memories of me bashing my friends skull in Conkers Bad Fur Day with bone clubs and baseball bats as a weasel in the heist game mode. I would kill for that, to stream it and play it on next gen hardware.

somewhat related and i thought conker: live and reloaded was both one of the best looking games on xbox and had a really tight multiplayer setup

Unreal 2004. The peak of that game cannot be matched and it’s weird to me how much people complain yet the unreal on epic store goes unplayed as it does.

i loved ut2k4... i could never get a copy of the game for myself, but i played the hell outta plain UT and insisted to all my friends that i would be a badass at ut2k4... not only did i wipe the floor with their faces any time i played them, i also did pretty well on full online matches against strangers, consistently near or at the top of the table.. talk about a boast coming true for once~ my favourite maps were Assault

Rainbow 6 Black Arrow
Midtown Madness 3
Played these on the orginal xbox boss

those rainbow six games were hella tight.. ghost recon really blew my mind when it came out, it really felt like a modernization of the system

Battle Royale and Hero Shooterz are garbage

Can't help but agree with you my man

 

[Javthusiast]

Bad Company 2.

The most fun I had with BF multiplayer ever.

 

[Relativ9]

Battlefield 3

 

[Blond]

Uncharted 4 & Battlefield V multiplayer suck

i wish Uncharted 2 & Bad Company 2 multiplayer still existed. They were maybe my favorite and most played online experiences on PS3

Uncharted 2 was just SO balanced it's unreal. You NEVER felt like you died because of a cheap Maneuver or weapon.
