There a few I would love to revisit in their prime at their peakish player bases.

Enemy Territory Quake Wars - Still one of my favorite MP FPS games around, damn do I miss this one.

Final Fantasy XI - There are many private servers now, but this one would be more of stepping back in time and playing when everyone was still discovering the game and everything was still a mystery, fucking awesome times.

Unreal Tournament 2K4 - I was still playing a good bit of Halo PC and America's Army in ladder leagues so I didn't compete in many ladder leagues for UT2K4, but would love to go back and experience it at its prime. Assault was a new addition and was a lot of fun and it would be great to see full servers for it again.

 

[Schmick]

Ah man.... some of my favourite moments in multiplayer was playing BF1942 and BF2.

I'd also say CS:GO because Valve is being shit slow at releasing Team Deathmatch and cs_assult & cs_militia,

 

[dickpretzel]

LittleBigPlanet
PlayStation Home
Club Penguin
Millsberry

 

[Kings Field]

Evolve was my favorite MP game of all time and got undeserved hate. I wish it was still kicking yet. I know there’s a community that runs the game on PC and has tournies but I wish the actual game was alive and well.

 

[Halo is Back]

Bad Company 2 and probably Gears of War

 

[Shadow Chrono]

Marvel Heroes

 

[Lupin3]

It's the one game I'd buy a PS5 for if it ever made a return in some form.

 

[Diseased Yak]

EverQuest as it was back when Luclin lauched or thereabouts.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I’d love some pc versions of the kings field games

 

[German Hops]

Final Fantasy XI or Phantasy Star Online.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Wish I could give Wildstar a proper go along with it being on consoles.

 

[Mossybrew]

Battleborn

Yup, first game that came to mind. Had a lot of fun playing split screen online with my son.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Return to Castle Wolfenstein was the most fun I ever had online. I'm not an online MP type guy at all, but I had a blast with that game, 20 years ago on Xbox. Of course, a lot of that was due to it being released while Xbox Live was in its infancy.

RTCW is a better game than Doom.

 

[Luipadre]

Rumbleverse

 

[Evil Smurf King]

Panzer Dragoon Zwei - I´ve been waiting for the remaster for ages now; didn´t like very much the first one and I prefer Zwei better than Orta;
Uncharted 2 Multiplayer - the coop was great!
SOCOM 2 and Twisted Metal Black - both classics, never played online, but everything screams that was great, as well.
Motorstorm Pacific Rift - good times on PS3.

 

[Investor9872]

Jeanne d"Arc

 

[Evil Smurf King]

Lost Planet 2.

I play Lost Planet 2 from times to times on xbox via retrocompatibility, and it´s great. Love to bits LP2.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Would've said Paragon, but we have Predecessor, so...

Either M.A.G. or Socom.

 

[Fart Knight]

Metroid Prime 4

 

[adamsapple]

 

[Zarak]

Joint Operations or Earth and Beyond.

 

[simpatico]

Killing Floor and BF:BC2. Neither are technically dead, but ya know. Pretty much dead

 

[tylrdiablos]

I'd be happy if Titanfall 1 had AI (Pilot) bots. And I'd set it so they couldn't use the cheap-ass smart pistol.

 

[sono]

Killzone 2 and 3
Unreal Tournament (I will take any version, but I loved 3)
I would spend serious money on new consoles for these

 

[Lupin25]

The Crew

 

[sono]

Same as always would have to be Killzone 2 and to a lesser extent Killzone 3. Wish Sony would just put out a quick port for PS5 and scrap Horizon. The games while flawed you could tell where made with passion and the soundtracks for both are among the greatest in gaming.

That is a great comment. They are made with great passion.
This opening sequence has to be amongst the most epic of any title. It still gives me goosebumps

 

[iHaunter]

World of Warcraft. Was the best game ever made. Playing Original through TBC.

 

[{insert code here}]

Basically, any PS2/360 era multi-player game. SOCOM, Halo, Warhawk/Starhawk, Unreal Tournament, Splinter Cell, RFOM, etc.

Sometimes, you don't know what you have until it's gone.

 

[SpiceRacz]

To those listing Phantasy Star Online, there’s private servers you can hop into pretty easily.

Ultima PSO Server

PSO Blue Burst Server Free to play since 2008. still innovating the game for years with new custom content, events, updates, and more. Jump in to the greatest PSO Experience.

[Generic]

Ragnarok online.

I re-played it from 2016 to 2018. It's fun until you reach lvl 95-99, after that it becomes a grindfest.

 

[Mr Hyde]

I want a re-release of this on current gen so bad.

 

[TwiztidElf]

Blur
PGR2
Asheron's Call

 

[Chris_Rivera]

BF modern combat on 360 was my jam. I went between that and Gears 1 and Fear multiplayer.

 

[TintoConCasera]

None, but I wish I could have tried Quake 3 Arena and UT99 back in their heyday, never could since I didn't have internet and, well, I was 8 years old.

At least I got to play some Enemy Territory and TF2 later on. Good stuff.

 

[Arsic]

Any socom.
Metal gear online. No not random private servers.

 

[applesaucejaxon]

Warhawk on PS3 . Had a lot of fun with that back in the day.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Killzone 2

 

[Dzab]

Phantasy Star Online. I really loved that game, especially when playing with a good group.

Final Fantasy XI or Phantasy Star Online.

To those listing Phantasy Star Online, there’s private servers you can hop into pretty easily.

I recommend going to Ephinea for PSO. There's over 150 players still online

Ephinea PSOBB | Home

A Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst private server that recreates the classic PSOBB experience while adding new content and features.

[KiteGr]

Modnation Racers.

 

[Chuck Berry]

 

[bArTl3bY]

Dirty Bomb and HAWKEN. Both had their moments and I'm glad to have been part of them.

 

[ThatPolishGuy]

True Combat Elite / Close Quarters it was insane back in the day.

It was this like COD / SWAT / Rainbow Six Siege mix. You could shoot through soft materials. It blew my mind when the game was still alive.



Tactical aiming was on point. 13 years ago or so.



It was free mod for Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. Tired it a few years back because I randomly remembered it and I couldn't find a lobby.

I remember those good times I played it when I was young and lobbies were full. Glad I was a part of it!

 

[xrnzaaas]

Not technically dead, but it would be great for Driveclub to still have its servers online. I'd have a reason to keep coming back to it to challenge people from my friends list on the leaderboards.

I also always wished for a sequel. It really sucks that Sony has ignored everything Evo Studios has learned from the first game (especially resolving the server problems) and didn't give them a second chance to deliver a much more polished successor.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

streetpass

 

[TropicanaTwista]

I'm stunned ( in a good way) on how many people are listing mag. Didn't realize it was that popular, think that released a little before I joined gaf back in the day. Game had balance issues and jankyness but damn if it still wasn't fun as hell to play.

I would also say KZ2. To me, it's the best FPS online game I've ever played.

 

[Emedan]

The Half Life 1 mod Hostile Intent, man HL1 mods were the best!

 

[Shodai]

Original Ultima Online

 

[Perrott]

DriveClub and Dust 514

 

[VinnyMac]

Bad company 1 or 2 the sounds still can't be matched


Almost forgot killzone 2 my God that cherp when you got a headshot was like Crack

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Well it's dead, and I wanna play it
