Multiplayer games that are dead (X_ X)

[Easton Dark]

Im thinking of getting RFG, is it ok beside multiplayer?

Oh yeah, the Single-Player was great fun, if the driving challenges didn't grate my nerves one too many times for my liking.

"Drive across the entire game world through 8 military checkpoints in under 4 minutes, 3:25 seconds for bonus"

"In a dune buggy"

"FUCK!"

Other than that: Combat is great (if never ending), and ambushes are fun to pull off. I'd recommend the single-player yeah.

Yeah, Guerrilla is the third one. NEVER EVER pick up 1 and 2. I got them in the THQ pack (along with Guerrilla) not even considering them reasons to buy it and I still feel cheated.

really? that bad? well I wasnt intending too becaue they are kinda old and in first person

I have a soft spot for 3rd person games

 

[Furioso]

Battlefront 2 for the xbox, it is literally dead, they shut the servers down

Really? It must of been the end of last year i played my last match, when did they get taken down?

No clue exactly when, but when me and another friend were visiting a friend who had moved to Georgia, last summer I think, we rediscovered how awesome the game is and ended up playing it for an entire week, when we returned home and tried to play online we discovered the atrocity to the gaming world... oh yea to answer your question I have no clue

Medal of Honor Airborne, hilariously so. Call of Duty boasts 15,000-20,000 players in each game, a year ago, MoH Airborne had 12.

Modern Warfare 2, maybe, I've sat in lobbies for 15 minutes waiting to find a game, so I don't know if that counts as dead or not.

Doubt it, It's had more players than Black Ops for these past few weeks.

 

[sheic99]

In my opinion, Alien Swarm... It was great when it first came out everyone got it (cuz it's free) but then it got... obscenely repetitive.

I didn't want to go through the process of downloading all the custom made map packs... and so there were only 7 maps. And unless valve decided to update it, it's stuck like that

I doubt that valve will, alien swarm was released as a platform for developers, which was the only reason it was free. They make a lot of money from games that were originally mods. I.E. Killing Floor, and Dino D-day.

Neither of those are Valve properties. Next time try Counter Strike and Team Fortress.

in a perfect world, all of them

 

[chuckman1]

Halo 2.
Also I couldn't get a game in Bishock 2 (I've had it 6 months)

 

[johnnnny guitar]

Red dead redemption PS3 seriously 2 dudes in I played with 2

 

[Solo-Wing]

Other than Unreal Tournament 3 of course.

UT3 isn't- Ok it is... I want to go into Denial about it because I just bought it like 2 months ago.
Battlefield 2 is pretty dead.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood isn't that old, but I can barely find games for it on the PS3. Damned shame because it was one of the most unique multiplayer experiences I had in ages.

Other than Unreal Tournament 3 of course.

UT3 isn't- Ok it is... I want to go into Denial about it because I just bought it like 2 months ago.

Buy the original Unreal Tournament. It's still alive and kicking, not to mention vastly superior to any of those...things that they call UT nowadays.

I used to have it on dreamcast. I got it for PS2 but that one has no Online. (They made the Dreamcast one online, but not on PS2. That pisses me off.

And your right. Original is WAY better.

 

[Ladette]

AssCreedBro might as well be dead for how long you need to wait for a match.

Chronicals of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is even deader than that. Which is a damn shame because the Riddick mode was fucking awesome.

 

[XzarTheMad]

Try to find Red Faction Guerrilla games on PC.

You shant.

Not true, it's only a few weeks since I had a lot of matches with a couple of my mates in Red Faction Guerilla. Not that I like the game ('cept for the hammering of the people), but it ain't dead on PC. At least not in Europe.

OT: To the best of my knowledge, Half Life 2 Death Match has all but gone the way of the dodo. I'd also say, most FPS games more than ten years old. Not all, CS is a good example of staying power, but most. Doubt you'd find games in the original Serious Sam, for instance. 'course, I don't know if people with the old game (ie. me) can play with those who bought the newfangled version. No matter, I suck at it.

Chronicals of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is even deader than that. Which is a damn shame because the Riddick mode was fucking awesome.

Ninja'd. It's a real shame, because that game promised a LOT. Guess it needs a lot more than nice graphics and cool gameplay to stay alive.

Other than that, Shattered Horizon suffered an unfair death. The gameplay mechanics were quite nice, adding the 3D movement and the "turn systems off to be stealthy but be effectively deaf and blind beyond your cone of vision" option.

And Skate / Skate 2. I may be cheating, there may still be people in those games, but every game is an unfair TonyHawkization of a game that should be the opposite. Instead of fun gameplay you are subjected to people that I honestly can't understand how can they keep up those combos (and I went online a while ago, so it's possible even they got tired)

 

[LittleBlondeGoth]

Whatever happened to Vanguard? The MMORPG that SOE released for hardcore gamers complainging EQII was too easy? I remember it had this fanfare of a launch and then... nothing. Mind you, there were a whole bunch of MMO's released around that time too, most of which seem to be fading into obscurity. Age of Conan? Is that still alive?

 

[Buizel91]

Transformers: WFC, had so much potential to contend with the likes of COD and Halo, but it just didn't take off =\ people still play it, but there is never 1000 people on at one time =\

Oh my lord that game is (was?) amazing, I'd still be playin it if it had a community... Ok now I'm actually sad thinking about how fun that game was...
Speaking of, does anyone know how many copies Brink sold?

Hey dude don't worry, people still play it and you can still find games, it's just the counter at the top (which shows how many people are online) is never over 1000 at one time.

I can still get in games and in my opinion it is STILL the best online game ever.

 

[cryogeist]

Quake Wars on the 360....not sure about the PC

Any game that gets old enough dies.

Usually when a company elects to give the game proper support after release it ends up enjoying a long, healthy post-release life.

Take for example, Starcraft and Diablo.
