How many MP focused games are in your All Time Top 10?

The Last of Us.

Was shocked at how robust, tense and fun The Last of Us MP was - really enjoyed it (though some of the challenges that stopped you repeating challenges for weapons you liked using got a little frustrating, good as it is to try and make you well-rounded).

Two games at most for me, though a large chunk of that is for the social memories attached to it:

Super Smash Brothers (N64) - played it every day in the sixth form common room at my school as a large group. Had tournaments, betting, informal rules that proper competitive Smash fans would think of as really stupid e.g. waiting on the edge of a stage to stop a player getting back on was 'bastards game' and banned as all knock-outs had to be straight out or player error. Only being allowed to play no items OR Pokéballs only on max on Saffron City so the game stuttered. All the stupid nicknames for moves and strategies. Seeing 40 kids clutching fivers shouting 'the bees are a drilling' when someone gets a Beedrill out of a Pokéball. Good memories.

Final Fantasy XIV (PS4) - literally the only MMO I've ever played where almost everyone I spoke to wasn't a dickhead. Polite, helpful, relatively little drama and a fun game.
 
Super Smash Bros Melee
World of Warcraft
Overwatch
Destiny
Halo 2

Not in that order.

The Last of Us is one of my favorite MP games all time as well but it's not MP focused.
 
There's a few for me...Diablo 2, World of Warcraft, and Call of Duty 4.

If StarCraft and Warcraft 3 count as "MP focused", those are on the list too.
 
Unreal Tournament
CS from like 1.0 through to 1.6
Battlefield 2

I think UT in it's heyday was genuinely the best game I've ever played.
 
Also yeah world of warcraft has to be on there. I may not care for it now but it will always be a big part of my gaming history.
 
Just stopping by to make my seemingly weekly post where i state that multiplayer and single player games should always be considered separately - on two different lists
 
World of Warcraft and Dark Souls, though with DS I really didnt even play multiplayer that much. It would still be there without that aspect.
 
Zero


Although it feels good to win, the feeling of victory is way overshadowed by all the negativity associated with online games (losses, lag, long waits, THE TOXIC COMMUNITIES, etc.). I associate MP games far more with frustration than with positive feelings. Playing online ensures you'll face some form of verbal abuse. Whereas, an amazing SP game is just fond memories.
 
CS 1.6 and COD4 are some of my happiest gaming memories, playing competitively with a bunch of guys regularly. We had a group of about 20 people who played on a rented public server too which was always hilarious.

Counter-Strike undoubtedly is the game I have played the most in all my years of gaming, I dread to think of the amount of hours spent playing that. COD4 I spent an ungodly amount of time on as well before MW2 released and they had done away with dedicated servers *slow clap*
 
I think Super Smash Bros. Melee is the only one, though I think I've played it more in single player mode, but multi time is also in hundreds of hours so it applies I think.

Other than that none.
 
Unreal 2k4 - While I love 99 and Quake 3. The added modes into 2k4, shock rifle, along with others made it my favorite.

DOTA2 - Throwing league, dota, and other variants in here.

Warcraft III - I've never got more than 3 missions in the story, but I did get a year of full play online

World of Warcraft - Duh



Rocket league, BF1942, SWG, Goldeneye, SSBM, Diablo II, Tribes(Series) would probably hit top 20.
 
I don't think any are. I loved Titanfall but there are ten other games that would go above it if I really gave a damn to compile my best ever top ten games.
 
Black Ops 1 (top 5) - over 500hrs of fun with friends during my University years. Some of the best map designs I've encountered.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (top 10) - Sniping in Rush is a religious experience. By far, one of the most immersive MP games I've ever played.
 
CoD4 is awful close, but I don't see it cracking through.

For all the real-time weeks I spent in WoW, I still can't remember a thing about it.

I think the issue with a lot of truly online games, they live and die by their playerbase, and if they live long enough they transform into something completely unrecognizable. You'd have to judge vanilla WoW against every expansion and maybe even every discrete patch.
 
I could never name a top 10 anymore but the only one with potential to make it is Virtua Fighter 5 : Final Showdown because its the only fighting game I actually spent the most time in multiplayer rather then single. I could put Virtua Fighter 4 Evo ahead of it but I spent all my time in the quest mode so it hardly counts as a multiplayer title to me.
 
Team Fortress 2

Sunk thousands of hours into the game playing pubs, competitive matches, and jump maps... And I could easily keep playing more.
 
All Time
Halo 1-3

Games that I have spent considerably more time with than SP games.
Destiny (most hours I have ever put in a game and it is not even close)
COD4
Warcraft 3
Starcraft
Diablo 2
CS
Bad Company 2
Quake 3 Arena
UT2004
SFII
TF2
Gears of War series
FIFA
Madden
NBA2K
TF
AoE 2
Goldeneye
 
None.

Halo 2 is one of my FAVORITE games of all time because it was during a time of my life where I had 2ish hours to wreck online almost daily with my friends.

Halo 1's multiplayer is so much better but I have played about 5% as much of it.

MP games are always disposable to me.

Overwatch is similar to Halo 2 because I play with my wife near daily.

I guess NBA 2k as a franchise but I only like local MP, not online vs kids screaming the n word and so many people who quit when their cheesing tactics fail. 0 fun
