Titanfall unronically.

TF2 had an amazing camapign but the multiplayer felt watered down where parkour took a backseat and the titan classes got nerfed from 1.

Titanfall 1 had a good balance of maps, modes, classes and titan customization (something tf2 was sorely missing)

Otherwise Halo 3 and Gears 3 would be my followup picks.

This is my GOAT for multiplayer shooters.

When EA was great, when they didn't insult their fans, nor follow the woke movement that nearly all western studios now are following with the cringey He/Him, She/Her in their profiles.

In this hypothetical, the game would be a remastered version for modern consoles and PC, and would see a renewed interest similar to the most popularity it ever had at a given time. The game would be a remaster, not a remake. Higher frame rate and better resolution of the original art. No bugs, server issues, or cheaters.

So if you could go back and experience a multiplayer shooter again, what game would you pick and why?

Quake 3, with the Q1 DM levels added. Also, BF 1942 and BF Vietnam (the original, not Bad Company Vietnam). Yes, that is more than one... I can't choose! Wait... One more... Jedi Knight 1!!!

Killzone 3, because of the better modes. And one of the few multiplayer games I was actually good in,
because the surround sound was fantastic! Also loved seeing myself back in those cutscenes from the Operations mode.

Killzone 3 was fucking incredible, using the Sharpshooter. Of course, Farpoint and other VR shooters have long surpassed the Sharpshooter. Though, tbh, I can't remember if KZ3 allowed the Sharpshooter in multiplayer.

I dumped so much time into this game, and it is still my favorite online shooter. Much like Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, it is an objective based FPS with multiple classes to choose from. Both sides (the Strong or GDF) had 5 classes to choose from, that were the same archetypes with some minor differences. There were also vehicles, which could have used a bit better balancing to be honest but man did I love this game. Problem is, it was published by Activision, around the time CoD MW was released, so once QW launched, there was little support for QW as CoD was their main focus. The community definitely did drive some great custom content, but it was always a small community for such a great game. Really wish it would have taken off more as it deserved so much more. Mind you I only played the PC version, I recall hearing the console versions were pretty rough.

Unreal Tournament would be a second pick here. It kills me Epic killed the project for the new one a year or two ago, because Fortnite is their main focus and rakes in so much cash for them. I get it, but it still sucks

Damn straight. QW was incredibly underrated. I want to blame the console kiddies for having no taste , but I also heard the console versions were rough.

Killzone 2

First post nails it

Enough with the red head open world crap, give me those sweet headshot chirps and awesome gun physics back, Guerilla

 

[Salty Popsicle]

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 including Vietnam Expansion

Nothing will ever match the awesome destructibility and sheer mayhem that this game provided.

Halo 3 is the only correct answer.

Honourable mentions Q3, UT, 1.6 to remove all the kid scrubbers these days who need their hand held.
