    I'm .. super late, but I just found this while searching around and no one will probably ever read this but I gotta say, I love Shadowrun me and my Xbox friends met on this game and we still play it from time to time just for the fun of it all. That is my opinion I can understand why people don't like it and it really does have no community, I've played the same exact teams over and over again before on different days, but it is still a great experience I think I mean hell I use to fall asleep playing this game into the day

    Army of Two as well had a bad multiplayer

    Ha ha ha, funny stuff I liked the no one here thing and stupid character and "gleefully giftwraping our asses" also the alchol poisioning.

    Say what you will, but the multiplayer for Kane and Lynch was surprisingly fun when I played it last. Granted I played it about a year ago but I still remember having a heck of a good time.

    This article is friggin' hilarious. Though, Tyler, your picture kind of makes you look insane. @GameManiac: Why in the world do you think Multiplayer will die off? If anything, the only thing this article suggests is that multiplayer will become conglomerated into the Halos and CoDs.

    I remember being surprised recently by the number of people playing Splinter Cell: Double Agent online. Well, it wasn't THAT recently, it was probably half a year ago, but nonetheless I expected that game to be deader than dead. How is GTA4 doing? It's been a while since I gave that multiplayer a whirl.

    Re:AuthorityFigure How is world of warcraft a temporary fad game? They just celebrated the 5 year anniversary of that game a week ago and it has 11 million paying subscribers right now. The warcraft franchise itself is 15 years old now. I'm sure 5 years from now world of warcraft may not be as populated as it is now, but it is in no way a temporary fad game.

    Re-write this article in 5 years and you'll be adding World of Warcraft. I'm glad *I'm*not shelling out money to play temporary fad games.

    I remember when I rented Dark Sector... Probably about two or three weeks after its release. After I beat the campaign I decided to hop into some multiplayer, expecting things like everyone having a Glaive but they just can't control its trajectory like in the campaing. I get into a game and it is already critically laggy, I'm popping around the map and freezing in place, people are shooting at each other with no affect. And finally right when I realized they had no Glaive in the multiplayer at all I just left right there.

    Since you mentioned ace combat 6, i thought HAWX should get an honorable mention. Even though it is populated it takes a while to find a match now

    I might go back and play some FC2 soon, certain modes of that great, but I forgot about it a while ago. I felt the mp had style I don't find in many games.

    is anyone still playing conduit? i haven't played it in a while cause the Wii sucks online also, I sucked at it

  • Bryce2552 - December 12, 2009 9:21 p.m.

    i think NFS undercover should be on here. never seen anyone in that game. recaptcha- 14-week seamen

  • linkganon - December 12, 2009 4:47 p.m.

    one thing i have to add, although you can connect most of the time, the wii's multiplayer gaming lags when you are connected. took me 5 to 10 minutes to finish a game that only had a counter at 2 minutes.

  • joabbuac - December 12, 2009 4:21 p.m.

    Dark Sector had fun multiplayer
