But my God, it's awesome!

Maybe I'm just tired of the popular MP shooters with all the D-bags but the community for this game is pretty good. Sure there are definitely people who don't talk, but I haven't ran into any trash talking, very few kids, and when people do talk - they will actually strategize.

The net code and hit detection definitely is poor and I've had my fair share of weird deaths, but to play something that isn't so generic - it's a breath of fresh air!

Does anyone else feel this way?

Absolutely. I found the community to be extremely pleasant and I have loads of fun playing the Bioshock multiplayer, even though I usuallly get tired of multiplayer FPS really fast. I experienced no trash talk, no whining kids, no racial slurs - nothing like that. In short: the experience is quite different from the usual Xbox Live :P Also, I think that the combination of plasmids and weapons works really well. The game could certainly use a little patch, but it's been great fun for me so far.

Lets be honest its not the most popular MP game out there, but yes i totally agree with you about the trash talk and is a enjoyable load of fun. if i was more popular say as mw2 then maybe it would attract the ten year old hard nuts haha i rekon bad company 2 should prepare it selflol

Yeah, definitely needs some tweaking. :)

I really liked it at first, then i got to lvl 20 then started to get tired of it.

I have to admit though there was no trash talking or people yelling.

you guys ever tried playing tf2? i mean the console version of the game isn't so great, but the community that plays it is pretty good... I strongly recommend playing that for the PC (the community is amazing on the PC) but if you don't have access to PC(the system requirements are actually not very high) then try the xbox version is quite fun... but to the point, yes bioshock mp is quite good

Honestly IMO They Screwes A Perfectly Good Game By Adding MP,Even Game Doesn't Need Or Has To Have MP To Make It Great.Just Look At Mass Effect2.

This was my first interpretation when it was first announced that the sequel would include MP. Which may be why I enjoy it because I had zero expectations. Still can't deny the fun factor.

Agree with you 100%. It's a nice break from MP like BC or MW.

I will say though I hope they don't intend to expand it further. Bioshock 2 was always great because of single player for me, and I want it to stay great. When adding more and more things for MP the original campaign gets less attention.

Honestly, I thought Bioshock 2 was great, but there was no need for the game in the first place. The mp doesn't hold my interest much either, especially after BFBC2 released.

Meh, it was a nice distraction for a bit, but after the novelty wore off i almost completely lost interest.

And it's great that the game has a good community, but i stopped plugging in my mic for games i'm playing w/o friends after i quit playing the first Gears. I have no desire to talk to anyone on live that i'm not already friends with. And when i do play with my friends we mute everyone else anyway.

No. I played the MP and hated it. The only fun I remember having with it was in the big daddy suit. With this being said I am glad that people such as yourselves find it to be pleasing and fun.

This game would be much better if they patched it. It needs to stop freezing every other hour and they need to fix the lag.
