Looking back I really feel MP games really have devolved especially on the PC side it's a damn shame we don't even get dedicated servers barely anymore or even voice chat support now where stuck with worthless DLC packs and microstransactions. That got me thinking what games do you wish you could go back to and play MP again with a good active community? the gamespy server shutdown from last year pretty much destroyed the player count on my favorite games there's way to play but the community is pretty much dead it's sad to see such good MP games die. So what are your favorite multiplayer games you wish you could play again?

1.Battlefield 2: still my fav BF game ever so much classic maps.

2.F.E.A.R. fast pace addictive slomo team DM was the best.

3.Medal of honor allied assault: so many memories of sniping in this game first time I join a clan great memories.

I kinda miss the old CS: Source server I used to play on, sure I played with a bunch of really terrible people but the gameplay was solid.

Brink, that game had such a great style to it, Dirty Bomb sort of scratches the itch but it's just not the same.

I've been dying for a Tanarus replacement since they took down the servers in 2010. It was an SOE game so I have no clue who has the rights to make a new one (or bring it back) but it was by far my favourite game during it's time as a F2P game. I think a remake, revival or spiritual successor to Tanarus would do extremely well today where F2P games are everywhere.

There are some racing and kart games I'd like to go back to like Blur and Mario Kart Wii. I'm also probably one of the only people that loved loved loved playing C&C Renegade multiplayer via GameSpy Arcade; I could see myself easily get addicted to that game if it's MP was still alive. It sucks that the GameSpy servers shutting down eliminated multiplayer from so many games, especially on the Wii which already had a weak online community to begin with.

Another one I can think of that used to play a lot is F.E.A.R. Online when that was a thing. I certainly wouldn't mind going back and playing some matches.

The last one I'll throw out there is that it would be nice if there was a more active GB community that plays Doom multiplayer via Zandronum. Some servers with my favourite gametypes became super empty so I stopped playing.

I'd love for the RE Outbreak games to somehow receive a re-release complete with online. We never even got online for the first in Europe, and I lacked the components to play anyway once the second introduced online play. Plus the second one is just pretty bad.

Star Wars Galaxies. I know there are private servers up that bring you pre-CU, but the community/family I fostered during my time with that game will never leave me. I was too young to really care about keeping their information, but that I'm older I really wish I would've stayed in touch with those guys way back when.

Absolutely. I had something crazy like nine days total play time in BF3. I'm not a huge fan of competitive shooters but damn that was a fun game.

I used to find Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer incredibly cathartic and refreshing after work; I don't know how active it still is.

And I really enjoyed Battlefield 3's, but I imagine that died with 4's release.

Battlefield 2 and MGS 3 for sure. I never got to play a lot of BF2 because I never really had a good enough PC to run it. Played it a few times at a friends house. MGS 3 is just a personal favorite.

@hypnotoadbrwowrowrow: Can you not play BF 3 online anymore? Battlelog is still up for the game so you can probably still play it.


For me it's Battlefield 2 hands down. It's still possible to play online but multiple master server replacements kind of fragmented the user base. I booted that game up frequently up until they shut it down.

I never said that... you've misread what I wrote.

I don't own an Xbox One. I would've assumed there would be active Halo 3 multiplayer being played in MCC, which is why it's weird imo to say Halo 3 as a response to this thread. Genuine question was asked if for some reason a Halo 3 MP hopper doesn't exist in MCC.

@clairvoyantvibrations: I honestly have no idea but I just wish I could go back to the days of my clan and I tearing it up! That was quite easily the most fun gaming phase I've ever had.

Plus I've heard the PC version is riddled with hackers now. Still disn't stop me from buying it for 0.99 on a sale just in case I ever decide to wanna fire it up again.

I spent sooooooo much of my life as a teen split between Call of Duty United Offensive, Delta Force 2 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (The main MP mode and this one full conversion mod that turned it into SWAT vs. Terrorist)

Every once and a while I get super nostalgic for those games, to be fair, I haven't checked to see if they were all dead or not (just COD, which, yeah, real dead) but I can only assume they are nowhere near the number they used to be, I still search for a nice MP shooter every once and a while that can scratch the itch any of those games gave me but usually get not much. I want matches that last an hour or even a few hours, 30 people versus 30 people, text chats are nice too. Bleh, I'm tired of the new CODs way of 10 minute matches against like 8 people.

I still pour one out for Super Monday Night Combat.

This right here, this is the one that hurts the most.

I also miss Kane and Lynch 2 multiplayer and the early days of Chivalry before everyone figured out how to exploit the combat.

I've been meaning to check up on The Last of Us multiplayer, does anyone know if that's still going? I had a lot of fun with it.

I'm mainly referring to Halo 3 in its heyday, around 2007-2009... I don't know how many people are playing it through the MCC but I guarantee its nothing compared to how it was then.

Maybe it's a nostalgia thing, but I miss turning on my 360, having half of my friends list play that game... often joinable... getting into custom game antics with people you don't know but still having a blast... playing any playlist you want and getting in without issue...

I forgot, I totally miss oldschool Starcraft: Brood War multiplayer, both from when you could find decent games on battlenet and also iccup.

Though lan parties were always the best with that game.

@rotnac: There is a dedicated playlist for Halo 3. It is ranked, though, so you can't bring guests into it. Still, it's my favorite of those MC games so it's the one I prefer to play. I normally vote for any Halo 3 map and gametype that comes up in other playlists.

I always want to say Chromehounds in response to this topic but man, I'm not sure it would still be what it was. I met a really great group of people through it (some of which I still know today) and without them it just wouldn't be the same, I feel. Then, there's the fact that From kept messing with that game's balancing to the point it felt like they really didn't know what they were doing.

Also, to answer the OP - original SOCOM for me, though I read somewhere (maybe neogaf) that there are still servers up for that game? I bet if I picked up a PS2 controller, I'd still know every single controller input. Mmm. I could jump and throw a grenade right now just thinking about it. First online game that got me to join a "clan" and login late weekday nights for clan battles, etc.

MAG comes to mind as Sony shut it down while there was still a fairly active player base.

The Section 8 games were pretty rad too, and while the PC version is still incredibly popular, I've been disappointed in not having been able to find a single other player playing Doom Complete Collection on PS3.

The old Halflife mod The Specialists. Specifically on RP-servers.
