:question:

I play Mount and Blade, BFBC, TF2, CODMW and MW2, L4D and L4D2, Killing Floor and also GTA4 multiplayer. Are there any other big Multiplayer communities that are based around First or Third Person perspective games out there? Seems to me that anything slightly different doesn't last for long in popularity i.e shattered horizon

GTA:SA online has more players than GTA 4 or Mount and Blade. Peaks around 11,000 players and averages around 7k.

Hmm BF2, Quake Live and GTA:SA are a bit dated graphically.. no that I am a graphics whore but is there nothing more recent or modern that stiull holds the same level of popularity? Maybe the games I mentioned are the only modern ones that have the 'big' communities? pity

Anything in at least the last 10 years should be considered 'modern,' and if you think visuals make a great multiplayer game then you're mistaken.

I just stated that I wasnt a graphics whore didn't you read? As for anything in the last 10 years should be considered modern, it really depends on your perspective - a lot can happen within even shorter timeframes and ten years in gaming is a hell of a long time.

typically any valve game is going to have a huge community base and lots of fun server mods to play around with to add almost infinite dimensions to the experience you have playing those games. and you pretty much listed all the games that are 'popular' right now. theres bf2. but the community has gone down due to new releases, but still is an active game from new statistics ive seen (which surprised me greatly)

Personally I love Moutn and Blade Warband, thge multiplayer in particular, but can understand why it would appeal to a certain type of player; its not the usual type of game out there. That's why it has the appeal for me. Medieval war... RArrrrr

I like medieval games i just didn't like the clunkyness of the controls and what not, the overall scale wasnt that big either, which is why i play total war games.

That's just ridiculous, COD 4 in others? COD 4 and COD 2 have bigger communities in the PC then MW2.
