Dead multiplayer games you have the most nostalgia for?

- Start date
What a game. Looked unbelievable for the time, and was the first 6DOF shooter I had the chance to play during it's heyday. I'd love for it to come back.
Many mentions of Killzone. It needs to be remastered (60fps, FoV slider). Sadly, I never got into the third one; I only played the beta.
Metal Gear Online (all of them). MGO2 was sooooo fun; especially when the noobs join. "Git gud" is from MGO community.

I'm bumping this thread since this doesn't deserve a new one, but as I scraped the internet today for old accounts I wanted to make more secure or delete, I stumbled all those free multiplayer games I used to hop between back in the day.
Lo and behold, Rakion (which some people have mentioned in this thread) was very recently put on Steam. Not gonna lie, I kinda want to replay it now. The game was really shallow, but the melee combat was pretty satisfying as far as I can remember.

Came here to post this. Not dissapointed it was in the first few replies. Thumbs up for Chaos Theory!
I loved the original, and I played some GunZ 2, but it just didn't feel quite right. The lack of things like K-styling were really disappointing, as the dashes weren't as abusable.
1 vs. 100 is the only one that I think is completely unplayable in any form to this day. I have nostalgia for Mario Kart DS and Halo 3 but if I wanted to I could probably play MKDS with a hack and people still play Halo 3 today. There's nothing else like 1 vs. 100 and it's completely gone.
Blacklight Retribution, which just shut down a year or so ago. This was a f2p game from around 2012 when f2p was (rightfully) a dirty word, but the game did it pretty well. It was basically a cyberpunk COD that included a built in wallhack that ran off a recharge time, and no mini map. So every half a minute or so you could literally see through all the walls on the map to locate enemies and allies. It even had a pretty flexible equipment and weapon system. Overall this was a really fun game during the hundred or so hours I played it early in it's lifespan.
Greatly depends on the definition of dead, but I'm gonna go with S4 League. Honestly blows my mind that there hasn't been a game that's taken those fantastic ideas and made them not a korean F2P (p2w) game.
Timesplitters Future Perfect, I used to go over at someone's place to play it online on their Xbox because they had an XBL subscription. They didn't mind letting me play because usually it would fall in line with their raid hours in WoW but we still wanted to hang out.
Game itself was fun online, solid community. Too bad my spoken English was trash (people still understood me) but yeah, had great friends and people made a lot of puzzle maps in the mapmaker. Those were basically a series of challenge and rooms were sometimes filled with players trying to reach the end.
Good times.

Unreal Tournament '99. Used to play on a Cain's Lair (https://www.cainslair.com/). I often think about the game and it's maps and the fun modifiers.
Runner-up, Day of Defeat 1.3.
I'm sure there's still servers but nobody plays vanilla and it's probably all bots.

All three are still playable through unofficial means, but officially, all are dead. All three gave me some of the best multiplayer experiences I've ever had.
Everyone says killzone 2 but for me it was killzone 3. I put over a hundred hours into 3's multiplayer
Team Fortress 2, before the September 2010 Mann-conomy update. This was the update that added loot crates, before anyone else in the West was doing it.
Is Realm of the Mad God dead? It dies and comes back to life every other time I look. It wasn't the same last time I tried; there weren't anymore level trains spamming the chat... I miss the chaos

Planetside 2 - Its not dead but here in brazil I get bad/poor connections and its impossible to play
Bioshock 2 on Xbox360. I put in a ton of hours and had an absolute blast playing the different modes.
Natural Selection was amazing. I'd never played anything quite like it before that and I probably played it obsessively for a good two years. The only thing that caused me to finally break away was the release of World of Warcraft. It was like trading one drug for another.
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.
Beat me to it. I still think about Warhawk at least once a week. Such an amazing game
Transformers War for Cybertron (2010).
It has introduce me to competitive gaming or basically being a tryhard in games now. Loved it so much before it got infested with a game breaking glitch that makes players basically unstoppable and the devs have NEVER fixed the issues.
I would like to name and shame on the devs but idk if it's allowed here in the forums. I'm still pissed to this day. The game online life cycle could've lasted longer. Thankfully Fall of Cybertron was a big improvement though.

I miss Assassin's Creed Multiplayer. There's something satisfying trying to blend into a giant crowd, slowly sneaking up on your target to try and make the perfect kill... whilst at the same time, trying to keep an eye on your surroundings for any potential pursuers trying to claim the bounty on your head. Where you have to make the call between going for a stealthy flawless kill for a massive point reward, or getting a quick kill, then performing a quick escape before your pursuers catch up to you.
I don't mind the open world stuff they are doing at the moment, but this was the main way I enjoyed the Assassin Creed games before. So I hope it comes back at some point.
Man, I clocked hundreds of hours in this game. All those Claimh Solais runs, the miser rings runs, the winged boots runs, etc. Going as fast as possible with friends for optimal hunting. Even after they released the Getsu Fuuma chapter people continued asking for more but they just stopped supporting it.Castlevania: Harmony of Despair - Sad to have sen this community to die off after a few months. I loved doing runs when you had a good group going. I remember having a pretty badass Charlotte
Lead & gold (PC)
This is me who recently download the game to see if it was still active and only found one player in game. Game was pretty good when i first purchased it when it launched but the many games of that year distracted me.

OG Titanfall and an active MGO1-2. Also Spies vs. Mercs, asymmetric multiplayer is great as a concept. The progression in Blacklist was a nice start to make the game replayable.
What a game. Looked unbelievable for the time, and was the first 6DOF shooter I had the chance to play during it's heyday. I'd love for it to come back.
just watched some gameplay and this looks incredible. I'd love for them to rerelease this.
