Okay, so most people have opted for the large mainstream games to play online, however, I must say I am getting somewhat bored of the current ones on offer. So popular ones aside, such as Cod4, Halo 3, Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike Source, etc. What are some games you play online that are less popular but you still find enjoyable?

SplinterCell Dubble Agent. I think Chaos Theary was better in my book but no one plays it any more.

Army of TWO. It's a great game. I play on the PS3 so if anyone wants to hit me up for some coop message me. Netword ID is same as here.

I agree with you there, the co op is good, and the online was pretty innovative and different. To bad i play on the 360 though.

I would recommend Fight night round 3 or Fifa 08(or wait till 09), there is just one problem with both of these games fight night people just rush out with a flurry of attacks so you have to be pretty good to win.
With fifa if you can get past nearly everyone playing as barcelona(reason i quit) it's a good experience.

Man Utd are better then Barcelona in Fifa 08, so people would appear to be very stupid.

Also, constantly having Barcelona-picking opponents havent happened for me, I don't even think I've played Barcelona once.

Mostly due to Cristiano Ronaldo, Man Utd. is so good - He is compeltely imba, so to speak.

How about Perfect Dark Zero? I use to play that game quite a bit... though I'm not sure if you were looking for something a little less mainstream.

Starcraft is still popular online. If you have cash to burn, you could play an MMO. The Warhammer one is coming out soon, plus there's WoW and Eve already out.

SWAT 4

It can be truly amazing online, but it's more dependant than most on having a good team of players around you. One to play if you have good mates.
It's also largely immune to ping issues, the maps are small, everyone moves quite slowly and even with heavy armour one bullet in the wrong place is enough to kill you, so combat is more about thinking ahead and getting the drop on people rather than run'n'gun.

There's a Source Mod called Insurgency that's pretty awesome too.

well, are you talking console or PC online?
Whatever you're into, I'm just curious as to what is still entertaining and being played online, other than some of the popular ones. I've started to lose interest in CoD4 and I need something to fill the gap, but Halo 3 I find uninteresting and although updates are in the make for Team Fortress 2, I can't see it have massive staying power.

Interesting, I stayed away from Army of Two due to some of the poor reviews, I didn't think to try it online but I will acquire a copy and give it a crack!
