Battlefield 4 was awful. I got it at launch with my PS4 and couldn't even play the damn game consistently for weeks. Plus there were numerous bugs on the single player content as well which would delete your saved game so nothing was safe.
Also MCC was, and remains, a pile of shit.

I considered selling my Xbox One at the time because MCC was one of the main reasons I got a X1
I still put in 30 days of play time
These were the first two I thought of, even in the same order, haha.

In my experience, Twisted Metal on PS3. And it never got fixed.
Oh man, I remember that. That was a mess! I don't know how you can top th-
...
oh yeah, lol...
I mean, Diablo 3 was pretty bad too, but I mainly played that game solo. Even though it's sorta a multiplayer game, I'm not sure if it'd apply here.

Halo: MCC
Worst launch I've dealt with. At least with BF4, I was able to play 90% of the time.
Actually was so pissed that I sold mine. Ended up getting another for halo 5...

Gotta be SOCOM. Even though the game wasn't at fault, the length of the PSN outage essentially killed the game's had of gaining any kind of traction.

Probably Overwatch. Servers weren't up for the first 15 minutes. Almost ruined the launch.

Diablo 3 (PC)
Probaby the worse ones for me, I think BF4 was a little over blown, 90% of the times I had no issues, if I got rubber banding I would just switch from American servers to European servers and that would solve it. Been using that technique since bad company 2.

Brink. Didn't it launch at the ApocalyPS3 PSN outage?

Battlefield 4. The whole game was broken. But their biggest part Conquest was unplayable for weeks if not months. It took DICE something like 6 months to get the game working.
Nah, that was Socom.

Same. Got a X1 for it, sold it maybe 2 months ago. Never buying a Xbox ever again after the MCC fiasco and what ended up being an underwhelming line up of 1st party exclusives.
I got the X1 7/2014 and only had 4 games up until I sold it. No reason to own both a PS4 and X1.

MCC by far.
More then 2 years down the line and the game is still hot garbage.

Diablo 3 at launch was a really bad video game. Not just a bad Diablo but straight up a truly subpar game by any standards.

Nah it was almost too good.

The Master Chief Collection is by far the worst launch I have ever experienced in a game.
I think the hack was just called the PSN hack, I believe APOCALYPS3 was that Leap Year clock bug where no phat PS3s would launch any games for 24 hrs
Yep that was probably the worst, had a week to see the MP was pretty good and worked well before circumstances completely outside the game killed it for a month. I think Portal 2 launched the day it died
Master Chief Collection. The most broken MP game ever released in recent memory. Before that was probably Gears of War 2. But MCC literally stopped any Halo momentum that came from the E3 announcement and how many Xbox Ones MS was starting to sell again. Even as good as H5 is, MCC really did a number.
Nothing beats this for broken at launch, although it's pretty much fixed now and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys racers. The game was designed around multiplayer yet that component was absolutely non-functioning at every level when it released.
Dishonorable mention to Battlefield 4
Twisted Metal (PS3) was a broken pile of shit that took forever to fix, and I just didn't give a damn by the time they finally did.
Battlefield 4 was close but it became one of the best multiplayer experiences ever eventually.
Master Chief Collection was embarrassing considering the pedigree of the brand and the importance of sticking the landing with something like that.

Just remember BF4 lol, that is surely up there judging from the the community at the time.
I didn't play it around launch, but for those that did, how was it compared to The Master Chief Collection?
BF4 was borderline playable. MCC straight up didn't work for weeks.
Socom was just a terrible game If it were good it could have survived.
