If you could get thousands of gamers back on to one dead muliplayer game, which game is it?

I'd love to have a game of Icewind Dale 2 online with some peeps, though i'm not sure it was ever popular.

Either that or proper old school DOTA (i.e. before shitty allstars)

i have icewind dale 2 from gog.com, i could play with you sometime if you want?

Halo 2, good memories of me and three mates teaming up against all the dickheads in the World split-screen style.

Unreal Tournament 99 without a doubt. The greatest fragfest ever, the best UT ever and one of the few multiplayer games with proper music during gameplay. And damn, awesome music it is:

Honourable mentions to Bad Company 2. I loved that game a lot more than the visual clusterfuck that is BF3. Shame it lacks jets though.

red orchestra 2 is my pick. it's way better than bf3 imo and it lacks players

also, killing floor. that game is just pure awesome.

The online play for Jedi Outcast was pretty fun. There were multiple game modes. There was your straight up deathmatch and team deathmatch. There was also one-on-one duels and a crazy game of 1 vs all. It would be terribly out dated now, but it was a pretty good time back in the day.

Seconding the JK2 idea. That or JK3.

Both. Staff master race report.

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty.

Just so everyone realises how EXACTLY you don't do third person shooters.

Also, trolling.

Transformers: War For Cybertron

Man, you wouldn't believe the ass I kicked at that game.

Has to be Ketsujin's Fighter Ace. Territorial Conquest was such a good system.

Warcraft 3. It's not really completely dead, as there are still tournaments with thousands of dollars prize purses in Korea and China but it used to be much much bigger.

Add one more for Modern Warfare. Maybe MW2. I also kind of miss the very first Call of Duty and Halo CE.

It's still pretty easy to get a CoD 4 game, and tons of people still play MW2, at least on 360.

The Ship, easily most unique, engaging multiplayer game I've ever experienced, sadly it never really had a thriving community (except for maybe a few promotional free weekends on steam). I had hoped Bloody Good Time (the studio's follow up) would finally fill that void, but the more laxed approach to the security systems, the simplification of the needs and inventory systems, and the smaller variety of weapons really watered down the whole experience, not to mention the goofier tone really undermining the tension inherent in core gameplay concept.

For that type of gameplay I actually prefer Trouble in Terrorist Town, deaths there have more meaning even if there are no securety systems. It really falls down to the players to keep themselfs alive. Its a gamemode for Gmod by the way, take a look
