Greatest Multiplayer Games of All Time

Video games come in a wide variety of styles. Some are single players, some are multiplayer, and others have elements of both. One of the things that draw in many gamers is the multiplayer aspect of games.

Modern Warfare 3?

Are you having a laugh?

Why is CoD4 not in it's place?

miyamoto4529d ago

Yu Yu Hakusho Makyoutohissen for the Mega Drive comes to mind

The author is clearly doing a bit of Activision butt kissing in the hopes of being given some schwag or early review consideration in the future.

There is no chance in hell MW3 belongs anywhere within a mile of an "all time" list. Sorry. People can have their opinions, but this is pushing the bounds of reason.

Ezio20484529d ago

i know i am going to get spammed for this comment but i like MW3 over MW (COD4).

Kran4529d ago (Edited 4529d ago )

Why do you like MW3?

Because it's CoD4+MW2? Thats bad! CoD4 will always be the best CoD multiplayer

Ezio20484529d ago

buddy i dont offend you but...i just love the fast paced gameplay in MW3 and especially the new perks and killstreaks. Also, there aren't as much camping spots as prevalent in MW2. I know that MW3 is by NO means perfect multiplayer game, but i enjoy playing it everyday on PSN.

thrasherv34529d ago

"i just love the fast paced gameplay in MW3"

As opposed to what? The slow paced gameplay in CoD4? Have you played much CoD4? It's fast.

"there aren't as much camping spots as prevalent in MW2."

Are you joking? MW3 is the campiest of them all. So many nooks and crannies to hide behind in these poorly designed maps. All I see is fools camping with their Type 95's waiting for someone to walk buy. It's garbage. MW3's maps are nothing but over blown boxes with corners everywhere. Atleast in the past CoD's the maps had flow to them.

Agreed with above, I got a chance to play MW3 this weekend, borrowed a copy, and I’m quite dissapointed to say the least. It really is like a reskined MW2, the menus are the same, the emblems/titles are almost the same and/or made more horrible than in MW2. Played campaign(veteran), it’s ok, but the enemies are still dumb aimboting POS. Spec-ops also seemed like a letdown, didn’t have the chance to go trough all of them, but they were basically run’n’shoot, that’s it, in MW2 you had to man turrets on choppers, AC-130 (that was included, but still lacked), etc., those missions had great diversity, but not in MW3. Survival wasn’t bad, split-screen coop great, split-screen MP is a great bonus. MP overall is 1:1 like MW2, just made even more noob friendly, since now you can earn killstreaks (i.e. pointstreaks) even if you die. And the maps were ‘effin horrid, they all seemed like a freakin’ chessboard, kill one guy in front of you and you are bound to get shot in the back or side of your head a second later. I have to constantly rotate 360, omg.

EDIT:
OT - CS 1.6, TF2(PC), COD4(PS3) for me.

antz11044529d ago

I feel with the new modes, including everything in spec ops, and the new killstreak chains MW3 multi is the best in the series. The maps are solid and the gun choices aren't as bad as previous installments.

But if MW3 made the list I think Halo Reach should have made it, that multi was pretty great.

I agree, MW3 is fun and more balanced than any other COD game.

torchic4528d ago

yes. it is indeed Opposite Day. I mean it's not Opposite Day. I mean...

Shackdaddy8364529d ago

That's fine if you like it but to me, it's probably one of the worst out of the series.

Part of it is due to the extremely bad maps. I actually miss maps from MW2 like quarry. The maps in MW3 are just so extremely small and just have so many camping spots.

Pikajew4529d ago

Mario Kart 64 is a great multiplayer game

dendenmooshi4529d ago (Edited 4529d ago )

The original Halo and Goldeneye would also come before MW3. WoW also would come before MW3.

I'm glad they included counter strike though. Hate that they're referring to the xbox one that was released in 2004 and not the original PC one.

frostypants4529d ago

Gotta add Quake 2 as well. And BF1942.

There are a LOT of games that come before MW3.

PRHB HYBRiiD4529d ago

My personal list
Halo 2
Golden eye 007 (n64)
battlefield 3
Call of duty 4 and world at war
assasins creed brotherhood
Test drive unlimited
uncharted 3
R6V2
Red dead redemption
little big planet

Shackdaddy8364529d ago (Edited 4529d ago )

you should add counter strike
oh and time splitters

PRHB HYBRiiD4529d ago

i forgot about those :) they are also very good

clrlite4529d ago (Edited 4529d ago )

Counter Strike, etc.

@below, agree and a bubble for the straw hat avatar.

Edit: At least he included CS and TF2, but that doesn't make up for including MW3 and not including the (IMO) much better Battlefield games.

also, he lost me when referring to COD, "..this game has already broken records..with top notch graphics.."

decent list though I guess.

64 bit support is not the same as a next gen upgrade. 64 bit has been used for like 12-15 years now?

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons17d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac17d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2316d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher32d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris32d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera31d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii31d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts31d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX31d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos31d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast31d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.
