Its only average man, nothing to take your breath away... If I were you, the safest bets are Halo 3, Gears 2 and Battlefield Bad Company

I'd add Vegas 2 and GRAW 2 to that list but haven't played either online for some time now... could be dead.

i've played halo 3 never liked gears and tried battlefield. i guess i have to wait until modern warfare 2 comes out. i liked battlefield but none of my friends have it.

Well like the above poster said, check out Rainbow Six Vegas 2 as well....although the community is SLOWLY starting to die... Avoid GRAW 2 multiplayer, its almost compleltey dead now.

It's the worst mulitplayer on popular game. Reasons: - Hosts can ban you form a ranked match during the middle of a match, you will loose all your stats gain in the match - Takes forever to level up - Takes 30 bullets to kill someone - MLG's are a pain in the ass, they are powerful grenade launchers and when you are facing a team full of them it makes the game not fun - respawn rate is horrind, wait 30 seconds before getting shot when you respawn - very time consuming to get a game going, 5- 10 minutes in a lobby waiting for people to join, sometimes the host of the match likes to go to Hawaii for the weekend, you'll never play. I've seen the same hosts not moving for 3 hours. - difficult to tell friend from foe, sometimes you'll accidently kill your own team mate thinking he's an enemy since the gamertag fails to appear over their heads.

I guess I'm the only one here who actually likes it then?

@ TC. Its nothing special. It has nothing on the COD's, Halos, Gears or Battlefields but its fun. You won't play it forever, but with friends its pretty good fun. Its especially fun with friends, when you play on maps you've created.

far cry 2 can be fun with friends but without someone to talk to during the long respawns or a teammate who can watch your back because of crazy spawns, i wouldnt say its fun to play alone.

I take it you are not very good at the game.. it doesn't take even close to 30 shots to kill someone, doesn't take long for a match to start, how is ranking up slow a bad thing? and when you look at someone on your team it tells you.

If you try to go from COD to FarCry you are going to have a heck of a time trying to play. If you only play FarCry for awhile then it can be pretty fun. But dont buy the game for multiplayer.

And of course the whole "I take it you are not very good at the game" line comes into play.... I actually gave up the game because of the host banning, I'm tired of getting booted from mid- end match just because I had the most kills and the host wants his team to win the match so they can get all the points. You can't argue that the host banning is the worst idea. Not everyone, but most will agree that FC2 multiplayer has some serious design flaws. Which gives it a **** multiplayer experience.

No, I don't think waiting in a lobby for 5-15 minutes just for a full game is any fun. I'll just play better multiplayer games and warn other questioning forum users about FarCry 2 multiplayer experience. Thank you.

Thats your opinion, and frankly I disagree. Far Cry 2 offers an unparalleled level of freedom to complete what missions you want, when you want to do them, and how you want to do them.,..

FarCry2 is not for everyone but it really is a great game.

Very rarely to games have outstanding single player and multiplayer. FarCry does at least have decent muliplayer with a great single player story. Coupled with the fact you can literally create maps from scratch, the game is really good.

Hehehe You're funny. Just cause it actually takes skill and intelligence to pass a mission. You actually get to think about how to approach the mission, you don't just have to Run N' Gun.

not really, the only thing that interested me in it was checking out peoples custom made maps and stuff. (I could never get the hang of making them myself.)

Far Cry 2 has a decent multiplayer it start slow with the low level weapons but when you get the hang of it and get your hands on better weaponry you start to enjoy it a bit, the campaign is great, it makes you want to scout the enemy bases, and plan your attack or the way you are going to infiltrate, and well the map editor puts forge in shame

ummm yea

play it now, cuz there was a patch

and u had to have blown ass at it to complain this much

anyways, the mp doesnt have a ton of modes, but u dont have dumb crap like perks and killstreak bonuses like dogs or helicopters or airstrikes

the patch fixed most issues on the game, its much better than what u have advertised, like the MGL being unstoppable

Both games aren't dead.
