I strongly disagree with this poster, and all of the others who shared this opinion. Quite arguably the best FPS of all time is Half-Life 2. It had no multiplayer. Oh wait, it had Half-Life 2 deathmatch, I almost forgot! Oh I just logged in and there are like 12 people playing. Half life 2 has terrible multiplayer yet it is regarded as one of the best FPS of all time. Also, how good can Halo and Halo 2 really be. Howcome once they are ported to PC they get miserable ratings? Sure it's been out for a couple years, but true great games are timeless; True great games last the test of time. If anything, Halo should get better scores because its on a console with a superior control scheme for it's game mechanics. I guess once the hype has died down (after 3 years) people truly realize how mediocre and bland the game is. ^^ I just wanted to make a couple points that fit in with this discussion. Now I'm out. |
I agree overall, and would like to add that IMO multiplayer FPSs are overrated.
Give me coop - now that is what I want in FPSs, unfortunately games that support coop mode are few and far between.
I hope Team Fortress 2 turns out to be everything I expect it to be. I am also casting an eye out for Army of Two.
If any of you know of some good coop games - either for PC or console, please let me know. I don't care how old the game is as long as there is coop. Probably my favorite coop experience of all has been Super Smash TV for the SNES - it's not a FPS, but it was a blast and the bodycounts add up far faster than any FPS I've ever played - including Serious Sam.
