Wolfenstein enemy territory.
It's not dead dead, but kinda. Great gameplay, classes, xp progression in a match or series, etc

Dead multiplayer games you have the most nostalgia for?
- Thread starter Zushin

Unreal tournament games, it was just so cool seeing a game supported so much by its player base with new content. It was always fun joining a server with custom content just to see what it was.
World in Conflict had an incredible multiplayer suite. Making players choose beforehand what forces they wanted to play was a stroke of genius as it forced teamwork as each given "deck" couldn't possibly hope to cover it's counter within it's own lineup.
Along these lines, Enemy Territory Quake Wars and Homefront 1 were good (By the same team) and are also sadly very dead. I remember being very excited for Quake Wars.
Metal Gear Online for PS2 was a weird, awesome thing for the like year the servers were online for.
Wunderbar! Wunderbar!
I need a medic!
My brothers and I took turns playing this game and the objective based gameplay has never been matched. I think it was it's best when the character skills carried over on campaign missions so you could max out a few classes before it reset on a new campaign. I had such a great time.
We need an engineer!
Dynamite planted.
Firing for effect!
I didn't think I would find anyone else so enlightened!
Shadowrun was the greatest (and was doing the powers thing way before Overwatch) and it's such a shame the botched launch killed it off .
When it was added to backwards compatible I went back online with my old squadmate and we had a few hours of games. There was a hardcore group of about 10 people still playing who wondered where all the new players were coming from.
Tried it again a few months ago and it was totally dead.
Getting those 2.0 destruction kills will always be my favorite and most hated online moments, but the plat trophy was worth it, lol.
Best ever!
Hug these peeps above NOW!
Resistance Fall of Man and Resistance 2 (20 man clan parties were epic fun) as well.
Great times with those games online.
It didn't help that the demo was like too good. I had friends that I played the dmeo with who decided not to get the game and just keep playing the demo again.
Not dead as such but I wish the older Call of Duty games weren't hacked to hell. I'd love to jump into a game of Black Ops now and then.
It's dead to me, only because I don't play it anymore, but Unreal Tournament 2004. Might be my favorite multiplayer of all time.
Best Bungie, glad someone posted this.
Fear & Loathing tools made for some really awesome community maps and mods. Things like Dwarfball were silly fun.
I was heavily into the WWII:Recon mod for a very large period of my high school life haha. The game-play didn't age very well, I tried it out again years ago when the servers migrated, but some of the game-play modes and ranking system are things I wish were still implemented in games today.
MAG and bioshock 2 (yes seriously). Halo 3 customs as well I guess, I remover how I would join random people's lobbies whenever they were hosting like some infection variant or role play and how welcoming they were. Many friends were made... many of which I don't play with anymore 😔
I also use to play a lot of gears 2 horde mode with friends from school... but for some reason I don't miss it as much, mostly because horde modes were in their infancy back then and today I'd rather play killing floor 2 or even world war z.
But you can't find any replacements for the experiences I had in mag and bioshock 2 and I don't know if it's just me, but customs on halo 5 just aren't as enjoyable even though it even has a custom games browser now as well!

Allied Assault
Modern Warfare 2
Crimson Skies
Everquest (Not dead, but definitely not really alive lol)

So damn good. It always made me mad because it was always talked about like "M$ ruined Shadowrun. It's not supposed to be a multiplayer shooter, it's trash." While in reality it was a ton of fun that not enough people gave a chance.
Another great one. A multiplayer stealth game has never been done better since.
It's a shame I've forgotten about 1 v 100.
Terrific game. I kinda forget the format now, but I think it'd be a prime candidate to be remade using a smart phone as input too, kinda like JAckbox.
Warhawk.
That game was everything during my sophomore year of college. Countless days spent in 4 player split screen coordinating strategies on-the-fly during some amazing CTF matches. Huge levels, infinite draw distance, well balanced vehicles & weapons, dog fighting, and a pitch-perfect arcadey representation of that adolescent 'army man' battlefield approach.
Warhawk was so freaking amazing, I had such a good time with that game.

Wolfenstein on the original Xbox Live.
I've never been clear on how much was brought over between the Xbox and the PC but there was one stage that was amazing! It took place on D-Day, one team defends a fortress while the other invades. It was all class based and that was one air strike attack that was simply brutal. The whole goal was to get to the basement, nab the briefcase and go.
If it sounds like Team Fortress, it mostly was. But those extra steps and changing goals made it so addictive!
