7 multiplayer FPS's that made the team based multiplayer what it is today.

good list, with lots of explanations on it...as you will notice, neither Halo nor COD are on it, because lets face it, none of them did anything actually new.

Doom

Gave us: First networked multiplayer gameplay

Quake

Gave us: Internet play, 3D engine, team play

Tribes

Gave us: Player ****s, vehicles/aircraft, 32 player servers

Battlezone

Gave us: Commander with distinct top-down view and abilities, and faction-unique weapons, vehicles, and buildings

Unreal Tournament

Gave us: New game types, including Assault

Counterstrike

Gave us: Tactical gameplay for the masses

Battlefield

Gave us: 64 players, vehicle gameplay innovations, cohesive in-game command structure, universal stats with unlockable weapons/abilities

-------------------

it also makes me kind of sad to see how little multiplayer FPS's are evolving.

Okay then, No Marathon?

U forget socom 2.

U forget socom 2.

jujutheking

didnt do anything new at all.

wait, no TF?Hewkii

if you scroll down on the website, he says he didnt list it because it was a mod (so was CS, but that was eventually made into a retail game)

Hmm.. never played Tribes, what did it do new?JakeTD21

I only played it briefly, but I think it might have been the first one to introduce support classes.

1. Counter-Strike
2. Quake 3: Arena
3. Unreal Tournament
4. Battlefield 1942
5. Tribes
6. Team Fortress

yeah watever and it becauase it FPS only.

Don't forget Call of Duty!Khoaki

it didnt do anything new.....

It seems kinda pointless to have Doom and Quake there... and not Wolfenstein. They should take one of them out for Wolfenstein.

And cobrax, you must be getting very frustrated.

Would say that it introduced classes to online gaming, although all the setups were based wholely on preference. Asside from that, it didn't do a whole lot other than jet packs and gravity, but it was the first online shooter that I really got sucked into and didn't quit playing until BF1942.

Well when you say "team based" which is what mostly MLG is for, MLG being the biggest competitive gaming league out there(Congrats to making it on ESPN), have Halo as their "Flagship title", Halo should definatley be in there, watch some of the pros, and you won't believe how 'team based' they are.washere12

Actually, I think there is a larger one, but it still has Halo 3 as one of their titles.

[QUOTE="Hewkii"]wait, no TF?cobrax75

But so did TF...it came packaged with Half Life GOTYE...so I don't understand why it wasn't listed

[QUOTE="shadyd1717"]The list automatically fails without Goldeneye.cobrax75

Goldeneye really didnt do anything new in multiplayer...I think Rare has even admited that multiplayer was a complete afterthough in that game, by just one person who sat in a room and converted the singleplayer code to multiplayer.

Wrong. Goldeneye was one of the first (if not the first) multiplayer shooters on any console and paved the way for online console shooters. However generally it was not a team-based game.

this is for pc....not consolesDante2710

Its for both, but seeing as how multiplayer originated on the PC 10 years before the consoles, its rather obvious that all the games here are gonna be PC games.

what did they do that was new?

all the games listed had very significant effects on the way mulitplayer games were played....the designs of every single one are incorporated in modern games....Goldeney and PD were good games, but they stood out so much because they were on the consoles, where all the shooters were pretty bad PC ports.

No MOHAA/COD? THose game (both by infinity ward) changed the way multiplayer games are played.jbz7890

how? none of them really changed anything.

of course its aimed towards the PC community, Consoles only got online gaming 10 years after the PC....

what innovation would you possibly give to Goldeneye, PD or any other Console FPS, that hasnt been done online before?

the guy who made that even said that he didnt list Halo, not because its a console game, but because it didnt do anything new....and he is right...it didnt.

Halo wasnt the first console game to suport system links....nor is that even a significant featured compared to all the rest on this list.

It doesn't matter if its a mod or not. Its a entirely different game from Half Life and CS. So yes it should be listed.

TF and R6(before lockdown and vegas) need to be on the list.

Wow, what a terrible list :lol:

Here, let me help your sorry little list of games:

Godlo 1

Godlo 2

Godlo 3

Godlo 4

Godlo 5

Godlo 6

Godlo 7

.

.

I realize Halo 4-7 are not out yet, but when they drop they will once again each revolutionize the FPS genre and destroy all other games and genres in its wake as the first 3 did.

No team fortress classic?

WEAK.

I showed that console fps's can have great controls

that has nothing to do with multiplayer it all.
