I’ll second some of the classics of my childhood.

Tribes 2 - The huge maps, the variety of roles you could play, the sky high skill ceiling. What an experience.

Neverwinter Nights - That editor was so insanely good, people could create just about anything, create their own persistent mini-MMO servers with custom rules and months long campaigns. Imagine it with modern tech.

Warcraft 3 - I know it’s still there kinda, but those magical years where the custom game browser was a place where you literally saw entire new genres and future stand alone games come streaming down a list of lobbies. Nothing like it since then.

The only right answer to me

 

[Graciaus]

Halo 3. Even though I could just jump on mcc to play there will never be a time when all my friends played the same game again.

 

[Deerock71]

MOTHER-FUGGIN' GOLDENEYE, BEEHOTHES!!!

 

[digital_ghost]

Didn’t this happen recently with CS GO? I heard that they have over a million online concurrent players.

 

[april6e]

Titanfall 2 was pretty magical to play during its peak

 

[TheGreatMusashi]

Kane and Lynch: Dead Men - Fragile Alliance

 

[Brigandier]

The only right answer to me

This a million times over.

 

[Investor9872]

Battlefield 3 is the one, the only one for me!

 

[NahaNago]

Probably original ff 14 release. I played a lot before the relaunch and loved it.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Modern Warfare 2 (2009 game).

 

[badblue]

Ghost Recon: Phantoms

 

[yet_another_alt]

I unironically miss this game.

 

[Paasei]

CoD4 promod
Red Faction
Medal of Honor Allied Assault
CoD2
Wolfenstein Enemy Territory

Pretty much every old school fast paced FPS, really.

 

[FeralEcho]

Killzone 2 easily,best multiplayer experience I've had hands down.I would give my left nut to play it again.

 

[GladiusFrog]

Ultima Online and Warcraft 3

Ultima Outlands is basically free UO2. It's amazing been playing for two years.

 

[mxbison]

Street Fighter IV

Best 2D Fighter ever for me personally. Other choice would be vanilla World of Warcraft but I don't have enough time for that anymore.

 

[Knightime_X]

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix
Used to play in player lobbies for hours on end.

From super sweaty down to the snarky, I had a blast.

 

[kyussman]

Killzone 2.....I don't like multiplayer shooters but I liked that one.

 

[Rickyiez]

Halo 3

Construct , Guardian , The Pit

These are perfection

 

[SEGA_2012]

Binary Domain.

 

[MayauMiao]

Team Fortress 2, the very basic one before the ridiculous costumes and loot boxes.

 

[rofif]

Binary Domain.

That game needs ps5 release. I want to own it on disc

 

[Big Baller]

Toss up between BF2 and BC2

 

[Chronicle]

SOCOM II

 

[The Cockatrice]

Jedi Academy

 

[TexMex]

Ultima Outlands is basically free UO2. It's amazing been playing for two years.

Yeah I’ve messed with it a bit myself - player base just can’t compete with a peak UO one tho.

 

[NightmareFarm]

DnF Duel

 

[Tarkus98]

For me it would have to be either Warhawk or Final Fantasy XI.
Both games hold a special place in my heart. Between playing until the wee hours of the morning running a quest in FF XI or going behind enemy lines and knifing/granading (sp?) everyone in sight in Warhawk, I would welcome another year of full server population to waste my life in again. Yep.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Tribes and unreal tournament

SHAZBOT!

This

Tribes was so fucking good, I can’t believe it was running 64-128 players on 56k modems. Witchcraft netcode.

The skiing, the weapons and the classes made this game so special.

 

[Art The Clown]

Gears of War 2

 

[Sgt.Asher]

I've heard chromehounds was pretty dope, but I would go with bad company 2

 

[Pejo]

Fuck I came in to say Warhawk for PS3 at first, then I saw the GOAT answer:

The only right answer to me

 

[Laieon]

WoW, no question.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

Moonbase Alpha

 

[Kindjal]

PSO on the Dreamcast.
Pure magic.

 

[R6Rider]

Splintercell multiplayer was REEDICULOUS. I had it on ps2 online and you could hack into your opponent comms.

First thing that came to mind was Chaos Theory multiplayer.

 

[phant0m]

Battlefield 2

 

[EruditeHobo]

Tribes and unreal tournament

UT, no question.

 

[vodka-bull]

Knack 2, so me, dunkey and the random third guy have finally a reason to make a knack only discord server.

 

[chris121580]

Chaos theory was already mentioned so I’d have to go with Rainbox Six Black Arrow. I spent a ridiculous amount of hours playing that game. So good

 

[UnravelKatharsis]

I dunno maybe red alert 2. Still holding out hope for a remaster like they did for Red Alert.

 

[Sensates]

Lawbreakers.

Battleborn and Evolve don't have to die so soon either..

[dorkimoe]

I'm going with Warhawk on this one. I am massively nostalgic for this game at the moment I'd absolutely LOVE to replay it with populated servers. What an amazing time.

Took way too long For this post. +1

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

 

[Neilg]

I had a good run on a few. The original delta force on PC via 56k. Quake2 at it's modding peak. Chromehounds and mgs online.

Mgs wins.

Rogue Spear with MSN Gaming Zone

My first online gaming experience and the first MP game I ever got hooked to. Back before microtransactions and matchmaking ranks and all that nonsense.
