Dead multiplayer games you have the most nostalgia for?

I usually say Socom and such but lately its the game I still get reminded of constantly because a later game has made it bigger than ever
Siege is good but i'd take a successor to Vegas over it any day.
Can't believe its been 13 years since it released on PS3, was my 2nd MP game on the system after Resistance FoM.
Never forget even the menu screen

Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow. Was the first tactical-style game that I played online, met tons of great people in it.
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Spies vs. Mercs was a great time.
Twisted Metal (2012). I remember having a lot of fun with this one.
Bad Company 2, especially the Vietnam expansion.

Odd one, but 1 vs. 100 on Xbox Live.
I'm just a huge mark for trivia challenges, and there was something quite addictive about playing the game, hit me right in the part of my brain that shouts out the answers in Jeopardy , and the weekly live show element, and the fact that it held the possibility of a somewhat tangible reward in xbox live points, that was super interesting to me. I guess it just couldn't turn a profit? I heard it sometimes had upwards of a million simultaneous users and was supported by ads, but it was abandoned.
You'd think an Xbox Live trivia night or something like that could possibly draw a lot of attention.

Quakeworld Team Fortress, Starsiege Tribes and Soldier of Fortune II. Oh, and most fighting games I've ever enjoyed.
Came to say this. Me both my brothers, their friends and my friends all played a crazy amount of Warhawk every night. Loved that game.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.
Im so desperate for a new Socom i'd even accept Socom 4-2
God, easily the best PVP game I've ever played. From iGunZ, to jGunZ, to ijjiGunZ, even got to try kGunZ. Then some messing about on private servers when ijji got shut down or transferred, aeria I think?
I still remember, to this day, my very first match. Rolling around e-style, though back then there were no styles, I killed a dude a few times and he asked "are you a hacker?" and my poor sweet innocent mind simply thought (and I replied) "what is a hacker?" :D
I'll never forget how amazing this game was once k-style came in. Hell, my fingers were so slender because of it, my classmates asked if I played piano. Various CWs, hell even participated in some tourneys - amazing game.
That's also my answer. I remember chatting while playing on Dreamcast. Such an important game. Hunter license sucked though.

Vegas is still the only multiplayer game to get player customization right. I don't know what the hell CoD is trying to do with operator cosmetics but they suck.
They let you make your own freaking camouflage patterns in that game, I can't think of another military game that let you do that since.
I remember making a tan and white camo to work specifically on the 2nd floor of Calypso Casino.
Monday Night Combat. Great foundation for a game that got screwed over by both Microsoft's patching/update policies and the developer's desire to flee for the exploding Steam scene. Overwatch's combat reminds me greatly of MNC, and that's part of the reason why I started playing it in the first place.
Isn't the multiplayer for this game pretty much alive? at least on PC!
Killzone 2. The custom matchmaking meant there were quite a few matches that put the max timer on Warzone objectives (7) to half an hour. And because you didn't earn EXP if you quit, you had to be in it for the long haul of games that had the potential to be 2 and a half hours long. Combine that with the maps that were fun to play even if you were getting spawn camped and that was probably one of the best multiplayer experiences ever.
Can still find games on Xbox too.
Hell, even OP's example isn't true for me cause I can still find games in Gears 3 and UE (though the latter is a bit iffy)
I'm from Australia and there were 32 people worldwide playing last I tried. Ain't no games of Gears 3 I'll be playing lol.
