Biggest online multiplayer game this generation

Which online game is everyone going to be playing this generation?

Brawl

• Four player online.
• Day/Night Cycle.
• Lots of new playable characters.

Halo 3

• More online players.
• Biggest online game last generation.

I'm goint to prefer Brawl, but Halo will be more popular.mattbbpl

Probably true.

Last gen it was a Blizzard game and this gen it's going to be a Blizzard game. Starcraft 2 FTW.

Aside from that, between the two games presented, SSBB will have the strength in longevity and community. Halo 3 will have the number initially but then it will shift over to games like Gears 2 and even Halo Wars.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say SSBB. Now, I know, Halo 3 will likely be better because of the godly matchmaking and the usual wealth of options, but SSBB is simply the more important of the two. Last-gen the GameCube just didn't have the capabilities to pull off online features, and despite the improvements made on the Wii it's still seriously underwhelming. If Nintendo can get SSBB -- arguably the most anticipated game to make the jump online -- to work, then it'll be nothing short of breathtaking.

i gotta say

warhawk sounds like it has a decent amount of maps,

not a fan of socom, but LBP sounds cool

halos got the 4player co op though... in terms of multiplayer in general

too human co op multi sounds cool too

and ofcourse smash

World of Warcraft SpideR_CentS

That was last gen.

That was last gen.

So if Bungie released another Halo 2 Map Pack at stores next week, that counts as this gen?

See how that point of view has it flaws?

I have a list

UT3, Starcraft 2, Halo 3, SSBB, forza 2, Warhawk, and Quake Wars

If Starcraft 2 releases this generation that will be the best, I would vote for SSBB but I fear it will be kept from its potential by the Wii online service and friend codes

Halo 3 will be one of the best, but I don't think it will be as good as Halo 2 was by last gen standards since now there will be more competition

Halo 3 based on those 2 choices. But Powerstone 3 will own all MP. (Still got hope.)waynehead895

lol poor guy...I really wish it happens just so you'll get to play it.

Halo will have more online players. Simple as that.

For how long is the real question. The 360 has done a much better job than the original Xbox when it came to online gaming selection. It's just a wonder if the release of Gears of War 2 and Halo Wars will spread out those gamers who would be playing Halo 3.

ammmmmm.......Crysis, from a theoretical point, but UT3 from a proven point.muscleserge

I doubt Crysis can compete with Halo 3 in the poularity in online gaming category. Even UT3.

Its hard to judge from just those 2 games, because they are completely different games and we haven't seen any online Wii games yet...

I'd just pick Halo 3 because of how well done Halo 2 was over Xbox Live.

And what about Quake Wars, Unreal Tournament 3, and Team Fortress 2?
