Most enjoyable multiplayer FPS of the decade

leninbenjamin

HL2DM for me. Game itself was as buggy as **** at times, but it's the game i had most fun on thanks to a few great communities. Bunny hoppping around like a lunatic while being able to snipe people with the mag was f*cking great craic.

BF42 /Bf2/MOhaa for me



all for MP tho HL wins it for single player

I found Swat 4 to be the most fun but if you're talking in relative time I'd say Perfect Dark would run it very close

Crysis and Gears of ****e, yet no mention of Team Fortress 2?

I say again, ???

Worst. Poll. Ever. Where's TFC, CS 5.2, COD1, Vietcong, OpFlash?

Half-Life deathmatch. Crossfire, double cross and boot camp are legendary.

QFT.

No Enemy Territory: Quake Wars? I'd vote this if it was there!

A lot of people seem to be confusing what best FPS of the decade actually means (mentioning Half-Life, TFC etc.), so you may want to clarify the title. 'Most enjoyable multiplayer FPS of the 2000s' or something.

And Gears of War is not an FPS.

Battlefield 2. I've had some epic battles on that game, Karkand all the way chaps.

Then bf2, I thought DC was far better but bf2 was better then anything else going. And DC had aged.

X-fire has me down as over 1000 hours logged on bf2. Was in a clan for 3+ years playing that game (from dc) and its mods.

Wossack

starseige tribes just about squeezes into this decade...

Not very fashionable about these parts but Halo 2 online still stands out for me.

46% sniper accuracy. Since its all I ever played. My vote is for BF2 as well.

Its still good too.

Black Hawk Down MP was one of the few online games that I really loved (because it's one of the few online games that I was actually good at). Other than that, I always enjoyed Battlefield 2 especially when you had large groups fighting at a choke point. Really frantic and great fun.

Mr. Presentable

Serious Sam ought to be on the list. A big one in our group.

I think a lot of people, namely you (;)), are confusing what the title means. Not whether a game was released within the past 10 years, but rather what MP FPS game you have enjoyed playing within the past ten years. Having played TFC up to 2002 and HLDM up until the present day, I think they're fair game.

I guess TF2 gets my vote, though HL2 Deathmatch should get an honorable mention too.

I was going to complain about Far Cry not being on the list but then I spotted the word 'multiplayer' in the title

Useful.Idiot

Now that I think of it the original Half Life multiplayer was the dogs bollox.

I'm pretty sure I was playing it into this decade!

Where's TFC, TF2, HL2DM and L4D? I think mine is somewhere between those.

TechnoPool

COD 2 by far lads, and the Battlefield WW2

Fidelis

The Ship.

Jazzy

UT2004 & Quake 3/Live for multiplayer
On the console it would have to be Halo 1. so so so much fun. talk about games bringing ppl together.

single player - Half Life 2, Deus Ex, Bioshock and Return to Castle Wolfenstein would have to be mine. dunno what it was about RTCW but i just loved it.
honourable mention to Doom 3 too i suppose. it was fun to play through a modern Doom game despite its flaws. had an amazing atmosphere and cool enemies.

Venom

Planetside

Best multiplayer FPS to date.

citizen_p

i loved bf2142 just because of the ships and the added bit of storming them and the pds etc.....

bf series is amazing when people actully work together and dont just feck off...

BlitzKrieg

i should reinstall bf2142...more so because I'm leaving my pc here in ireland when I move to UK I use my mac for filmwork and bringing both and 360 will be difficult so one has to stay home and pc drew the short straw...

sh*t there is alot of pc games I should play again before january 1st I guess. Maybe just everything on this list.

aaro26

**** I didn't see the 2 in the battlefield selections, If I saw that I would have voted for it

projectmayhem

Has anyone made the argument that Gears isn't an FPS yet?

Anyway, although I enjoyed COD, CSS, Battlefield (despite it's many, many bugs) I voted for Killzone. The first one really made a solid attempt at bringing PC-style difficult gameplay to a console, and the second is an almost flawless iteration of a game. I still cannot believe it looks that good (so good it almost puts Crysis to shame, in places), and the online community is very active and importantly - good. It's too hard for 13 year old racist/sexist/gay-bashing morons to jump in and play, so it's left to real players with some level of skill.

I know it's kind of lazy to go on about a game released in 2009 as being "best in the decade" but Half Life 2 isn't in that list so my choice remains on a console. Even as a PC gamer I love it. It's also nice to play a genuinely good experience on a 40" HDTV while relaxing with a joypad in your hand... no crouching awkwardly over a desk with a keyboard and mouse.

Has to be Wolfenstein : Enemy Territory for me Been playing since 2005 and well I've been hooked since. Still playing to this day and I would recommend people to play if they can

NotorietyH

Timesplitters 2 for me! One of my favourite games of all time.

death1234567

TF2

pablomakaveli

I like CoD but it has to be Killzone 2 for me. The 25 minute long battles can feel like a real slog and theres more satisfaction when my team wins. Ive also yet to hear some 13 yr old langer talking ****e on his mic in Killzone 2.

Seeker

Isnt that because there is only about 5 PS3 owners with Headsets?

Leprachaun

For me it's Halo 1 , Gears of War 2 , Crysis , Left for Dead, Timesplitters 2 and Uncharted 2 (if Gears of War counts so does this).

And my number 1 spot goes to Perfect Dark on the N64. It just about counts as the last decade.

COD4, Haven't played most of the others. The Battlefield games I played had very weird damage zones which just annoyed me.

Pdfile

CSS and all the WC3, GG, DM mods....

I thought brothers in arms was very fun to play.

Wheres battlefield: Vietnam?

Seconded , always loved BF:V , even if its become the "forgotten" battlefield.Had some great battles on maps like Operation Flaming Dart,and nothing better than running some fecker over with a BTR 60 while blasting "fortunate son" over the radio , or the obligatory "ride of the Valkyries" moment with a Huey gunship.

It's been said before, but the OP completely ignored Valve's (and it's related community, too) unparalleled multi-player first-person shooter record this decade; from Counter-Strike to its sequel, Counter-Strike: Source, Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 and of course Team fortress 2, by far the most prolific multi-player shooter developer of the decade has been ignored for reasons that remain a mystery.

In my humble opinion Team Fortress 2 is by a good margin the best game of this type and undoubtedly one of the decade's best games, regardless of genre.

The fact Valve have fostered a thriving community around it and - on PC, it's Microsoft's regulations that prevent them from doing likewise on Xbox 360 - have offered up large updates on a regular basis completely free (the latest major update was last Thursday, well over two years after the game was released, which introduced a crafting system, two new maps, seven new in game items, bots and a whole host of tweaks) just adds to an already fantastic game.

Deffo BF2 ive spent many hours playing that game
