Syndicate

Game » consists of 8 releases. First released on Feb 21, 2012

Syndicate is a reinvention of the 1993 game by Bullfrog. Developed at Starbreeze Studios, the game puts players in the shoes of Miles Kilo, one of the cybernetically-enhanced Agents who wages war against enemy mega-corporations on behalf of EuroCorp, his sponsor syndicate.

Any PC duders still actively playing this?

Just wondering how many people on Giant Bomb still actively play the online for PC. I do and I maxed out my character.

If you still actively play and (are nice) want to game sometime, send me a PM.

Or you can say whatever you're going to say in this topic. Makes me no difference and I'm just seeing whose still alive on PC.

I thought this was only Co Op? Is there any room to be an active player?

Well, I'm sure there are some people here who would be up to pick it up again in any case. Look at this post as a bump.

If I wasn't in the middle of exams then yes. Honestly being on Origin killed any chance of a real community forming around the game. Last I looked there were less than 4,000 players on the leaderboards in total.

@TobbRobb: of course there's room to be an active player. In fact I suprisingly meet people who purchased the game only a few weeks ago, like myself.

I dont think the syndicates are that big but I like the whole futuristic aesthetic to the game. Too bad it doesn't have LAN or custom map support cause that would extend the life of the game more.

@BillyMethers: Well obviously there would be a few latecomers. But I read active player as someone who has been playing since release. Mistake on my part.

@TobbRobb: The competative co-op nature does lend to "active players", I feel. Unfortunately, being sent out to die (hardly any marketing, on a tiny platform) just weeks before Mass Effect launched with similar(ish) multiplayer. Not to mention the utter lack of support since launch has most likely not been helpful to the Syndicate community... Sucks even more when you look at how it's impacted Starbreeze. Meh.

Real shame, we had a lot of fun around launch with the multiplayer :)

Unfortunately, the game runs like garbage for me since I got my new monitor. Pretty curious what the syndicate leaderboards look like now, though... doubt I'll have time to play it though.

Jeff mentioned it on the Bombcast and he said it's his favorite FPS this year, so I don't mind playing again with you guys :)

I agree with him, it's my Left 4 Dead too.

I still need China on the highest difficulty so I'd be interested in playing some.  
 
Origin username is NyxFe.

I just added both of you in the game on PC.

#11 Posted by GreatNorthern (126 posts) - 5 months, 24 days ago

I literally just picked up the PC version yesterday, but I'm interested in playing some co-op later this week. I added winterking and NyxFe to my formerly barren Origin friends list.

Just created a new Syndicate for us GB newcomers, The Zanzibar Group. I'll send out invites tomorrow, add me for an invite. Origin ID: EchoNoir.

#13 Posted by MongoosePL (114 posts) - 5 months, 23 days ago

Go ahead and invite me as well. I just got it on sale, like so many others. Origin ID: Bearhardt

#15 Posted by CrimsonNoir (380 posts) - 5 months, 23 days ago

Add the both of you, hopefully people will log in to check their invites. Still kind of a pain to find a game.

#18 Posted by MongoosePL (114 posts) - 5 months, 18 days ago

I added a bunch in Syn as well. Perhaps we should pick a time on a Saturday or something to breach some fools.

#19 Edited by Sweetz (278 posts) - 5 months, 13 days ago

I re-installed the game for TNT and then they ended up playing on 360 anyway :( The MP community was already dead by the time I got the game (completed about 2 of the maps on normal, but that's all I ever had the chance to do), so I'd really like to play if you guys get something going. My Origin ID is: Sweetz

#20 Posted by tranquilchaos (566 posts) - 5 months, 13 days ago

I really want to get into this now that I finally bought it...

#21 Posted by BugHunter (14 posts) - 5 months, 12 days ago

I just bought this weekend after seeing it on TNT this week. My Origin ID is FuriousOatmeal.

#22 Posted by EVxx (3 posts) - 1 month, 28 days ago

Just added couple of you - the couple co-op games I played this week were all very nice.

#23 Posted by ajamafalous (10602 posts) - 1 month, 28 days ago

I bought this on sale yesterday (and had Bank of America put my card on hold because of a 'suspicious charge' from gamefly.com. Thanks guys).

I probably won't be playing it for a while, but you can add my origin account (ajamafalous) and if anyone's interested when they see me online and playing, feel free to message me and we'll play.

#24 Posted by Artemesia (1026 posts) - 1 month, 28 days ago

I haven't played recently, but I am totally down to play some video games with duders! Feel free to add me, my origin account is Lunaescent.
