September 4, 200916 yr Quite a simple question, the floor is open to all games with a multiplayer, co-op or MMORPG. I know it's a big, diverse area and there's a bit of apples and oranges comparison, but if you were to play a 'puter game with friends which one would it be? I generally respect the judgement of forum members here for their good taste, so the results should be interesting. Let the discussion begin. Cheers MC
September 4, 200916 yr Gosh, there are so many it's hard to choose. In college, I'd have to say Goldeneye was my favorite game. We would have 4-player matches on the N64 for hours at a time. I used to take it to the common area of our dorm and we'd have crowds of 30 people watching. Asheron's Call was my first real MMO love, and I will always look back on that fondly. It was the first time I developed friendships with people online. I still wonder what happened to those guys, I hope they are all doing well.
September 4, 200916 yr Maybe Killing Floor... I'd have to think about that question a bit longer to be sure but most likely Killing Floor. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
September 4, 200916 yr Based on how long I played 'em. World of Warcraft Team Fortress Classic Asheron's Call Quakeworld Team Fortress Don't like to play multiplayer games too seriously anymore as I get older, my skills get worse and worse. During the quakeworld days I could do alright in difficult clan matches, but these days topping public servers is good enough for me. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube.
September 4, 200916 yr Mmm... I'm going to go with either Worms 2 or Worms Armageddon. This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.
September 4, 200916 yr Even though I have never played it the stories you get from EVE seems to be a step up from everything else.
September 4, 200916 yr Even though I have never played it the stories you get from EVE seems to be a step up from everything else. It's spreadsheet managing action at its best. Edited September 4, 200916 yr by Purkake
September 4, 200916 yr The multiplayer of the Myth series was fantastic. Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life
September 4, 200916 yr Probably Left 4 Dead.. It's the best Co-op I've ever played at least. Other than that Tribes II, Call of Duty (with United Offensive)/Call of Duty 4 or maybe even Starcraft.. that counts right? Fortune favors the bald.
September 4, 200916 yr Author ^ Sure, people are still playing online Starcraft, right? The reason I ask the question is that it's a mysterious area of gaming for me but I'd like to try. The only game I ever really played online was NWN1 which was surprisingly good fun. Cheers MC

The 4 part series on Rock Paper Shotgun about one of the editors time in EvE gives a very different view of things http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/09/03...part-4-the-end/

The Korean people pretty much destroy everyone nowadays. The 4 part series on Rock Paper Shotgun about one of the editors time in EvE gives a very different view of things http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/09/03...part-4-the-end/ I was (mostly) joking. Try the free trial to get a general idea of EVE. It's fun, but you still manage spreadsheets from time to time. Edited September 4, 200916 yr by Purkake
September 4, 200916 yr Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory or Quake Wars. I love the class based combat. You really have to support your team to win. Resident Evil 5 is also a blast in coop mode.
September 4, 200916 yr ceterum censeo EVE delenda est. This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.
September 4, 200916 yr NWN and any of NHL08/NH09/probably NHL10. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

September 4, 200916 yr Freespace was pretty fun as was Diablo 2, but I have to say WoW because there This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
September 4, 200916 yr with real friends? left 4 dead absolutely Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
September 4, 200916 yr The only multiplayer game I've enjoyed for a longer period of time was World of Warcraft. But that was despite the people, not because of them. I guess I'm just not a multiplayer. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
September 5, 200916 yr Edit: After that, it would probably be Battlefield 1942 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
September 5, 200916 yr I don't even particularly like FPS games that much, but I think I would have to say Battlefield 1942. The game is just fun as hell, and the dynamics between infantry, land vehicles, airplanes and naval power (not as much, but still) is just really cool. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
September 5, 200916 yr In no particular order: Massive lan parties (ala 30+ people): Battlefield 1942 Battlefield Vietnam Quake 3 (and its spinoffs) and UT Somethings Small Lan Parties (3,4 chaps): Worms (2, Armageddon) Street Fighter 2 and other old fighting games (Love the mode where the winner gets to kick a shot of tequila then faces a new challanger :D) Trine hotseat Any passable FPS on harder than hardest difficulty, hotseat Home alone on the net: LFD Diablo 2 WoW (Haven't personally played SWG or EvE so cant say much. WaR was not up to it) CoD WaR Wolfenstein TF2 (From the old days) Tribes Fallout Tactics Probably missed a lot of fun generators but this is it for now IG. We kick ass and not even take names.
