Titanfall 2 will always have a place in my heart. Still play the campaign once in a while just to get that feeling back. Truly sad it got done in this bad.
Loved Titanfall 1 was just upset that the "campaign" was played out in multiplayer PvP matches. But, was excited about Titanfall 2 and did play the multiplayer a little. Can't remember why, but I didn't like the multiplayer as much as Titanfall 1, and therefore I stopped playing it. Game might've gotten over shadowed by a different game release at the time too. I should really play the campaign in Titanfall 2, just to see how good it was.
Same. I still go online and play Frontier Defense and enjoy myself. Heck, on Xbox I still see a farily active community base there. They're still playing it.
@@LevelCapGaming always though the same, Firestorm was always critically underrated Simply because BFV (which i also thought was way, way better than people said)
@@LevelCapGaming the cheating was horrendous. You could not win a match because clans of cheaters with a collective 2k wins in the squad won every single matcj
@@LevelCapGaming I know that you probably can't really do anything but is there a chance that you pitch the idea to dice or make a video about the idea to release fire storm as a f2p game I'm a battlefield fan and fire storm is probably my favourite battle royale and it's so hard to play
It is, but at the same time it's still visually impressive (especially on Series X with 4k\60 FPS boost option which basically runs on PC High settings) and Division 2 is actually a great looter-shooter, one of the best out here, but lack of propper support from ubisoft is baffling
I do feel that Evolve was released too soon, if it came out today i feel it would do better. But the devs also killed it with the micro transactions being almost required.
Evolve was so unique and a lot of fun! I really liked the hunters' voice lines! The server closing announcement said something like "balancing a 4v1 game was impossible in the beginning" was their reason. But in my experience, matches weren't always one sided. There were definitely winning on both sides.
I felt like Evolve was fundamentally broken. They needed to go back to the drawing board early on to fix the gameplay loop of running circles in the map. Asymetical multiplayer games have been successful, but not even the f2p could've saved it in the long-run. The humans looked fun but the monster gameplay loop was too unbalanced.
Firestorm was honestly incredible. The ring of fire added an essence of terror to the ring so common in other BR's due to it completely destroying everything. Amazing that they could do it without hurting gameplay. On top of that, BFV in general would make this list. If they added one more year of production, the new maps, vehicles, factions, etc. that would have been added honestly could have kept the game alive for another year or two and give more time to the production of 2042. Pity.
If we got the eastern front I think more people would look back favourably on bfv. The Pacific update really gave the game a new lease on life which they cut short immediately after.
BF1 being on a 2 year cycle was also a crime. The biggest joke was the low effort final update to BF5 mid 2020 and nothing til 2042's launch misery at the end of 2021. That drought was a total disgrace
I always wished that medal of honor war fighter had a better chance. They had a lot of great features ahead of their time and some great maps and environments
I didn't like how tacky the campaign was, especially after how awesome the 2010 campaign was, but I really actually enjoyed warfighters multiplayer. They did some cool stuff! Like the Blackhawk rope insertion in certain areas was sweet!
@@Thamb0 man 2010's campaign is still my favorite shooter campaign to this day, it topped MW and MW2 for me and I was left jaw dropped by the missions and gameplay.
The Medal Of Honor games were amazing the Airborne title really stood out for me on PC then the 2010 and war fighter titles all had something different in them that i later saw other titles trying to steal
the division’s story is extensive. There are more than a few books, video essays on factions, tons of stuff all based from the first game and now the second one added even more to it.
@@boricua1151 It was fantastic. I feel like BC2, BC2:Vietnam and the MP for MOH 2010 was the best run of DICE. Every map was on point for the modes. A perfect little run.
It was horribly designed. It was a throwaway game for DICE. They left mechanics in the game that weren't ever intended for that game. Like they left headshot bonuses which encouraged people to sit back and try and earn score chains from a mile away. The spawn system was terrible. They divided the teams into two, and you had no choice on which half you were on. The issue with this was that the "spawn on the front" option had you spawn on the furthest member of your half of the team. Bringing this full circle, guess who was the furthest person back on your side of the team? The snipers trying to whore score chains. Last thing that sucked was the chokepoints. This game was really just a bunch of DICE experiments and the biggest one was map design. The chokepoints probably wouldn't have been so bad if they had fixed the score chains and spawn system, but they never did. Those two issues alone ruined that game for me and the overall flow of matches.
Titanfall 2 was such a huge kick of Nostalgia, after playing the first game and just how absolutely amazing it was. It's sad to hear that EA/Respawn has come out and said they've canceled a future installment to the TitanFall franchise
@@bigballzmcdrawz2921 That's what I was saying, Apex is trash, plus they completely neutered the entire organization of the Apex Predators. They're supposed to be a ruthless mercenary group, but Apex makes them look like a bunch dorks on TikTok.
@@declanjones8888Apex Predators is my go to faction in Titanfall 2, But like you said they look like a bunch of Tik Tards. (which is what I call Tim Tok users) Also if it makes you feel better my friends who played Apex like Titanfall way more.
@@bigballzmcdrawz2921 Titanfall is goated! Whomever took down the Titanfall 2 servers may they burn in hell! But glossing over that, the Apex Predators were a really interesting faction that we didn't get to see enough of and now we can't because now it's been retconned. And they were my favourite faction too.
I don't feel like that game failed though. It was not a highly anticipated title, just an under the radar cool game that pretty much did what it set out to do.
Dust 514. It was an fps that had a well balanced skill tree system, territory control, it was linked to eve in some tangible ways, some items lost in a match were distributed among the player in that match so you could get a really cool item without having access to it. The mechanics were very satisfying and fun. I used the Scrambler Rifle and it was such a unique and fun weapon that I still think about it to this day. I've had dreams about using the Scrambler again. Massive shame. Also the social aspect of the game was one of a kind .
Dust 514's legacy reminds me of MAG's... What really bothers me about these games in particular is that you just literally cannot revisit them, lost to history.
Evolve holds a special place in my heart. I think about that game all the time. I will never forget my first Max evolution, I put my war face on and took the fight to them 😂
TFall 2 is one of mine as well. I think the campaign has slowly gotten the recognition it deserves. The relaunched Medal of Honor had a great MP and pretty good story, but didn't seem to get a chance. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier remains one of my favorite MP experiences, but Ubisoft didn't do crap to stop hackers which quickly ruined it.
I never got to play Medal of Honor's reboot/relaunch. I kept hearing its multiplayer was basically battlefield. By the time I remembered it existed, they shut down, or at least announced they would be shutting down the servers.
You beat me to it! That game was awesome... for about a week and then there was nothing left to do. I was really disappointed that they gave up on it so quickly, like they never meant to release it
Yeah. That'd be my suggestion as well. Anthem got screwed despite solid mechanical moment to moment play. (It was just literally everything around that which destroyed it's chance.) The whole revamp getting canceled due to lockdowns really hurts.
I can only wonder what a Singleplayer only The Division experience could be like. The world building is amazing and it has incredible potential for great storytelling. If you'd like to immerse yourself into this world, I recommend the "New York Collapse" book and The Division's audiobook.
Agreed. The whole atmosphere is brilliant. It looks amazing, walking through the city. But needing 3 clips to kill an enemy, and the whole looting/raiding mechanics … it was so what I had not expected from a Tom Clancy game. Tried it twice now, still love the looks and details, but it just doesnt work. This mixed with Wildlands/Breakpoint storytelling and good SP and optional MP though, that would be gold to me.
Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising and its expansion pack Escalation. Those games were not failures per se, but the series died out after those. My best gaming memories were on Joint Operations. It had 150 player servers with infantry and air/ground/naval vehicle combat on massive maps all way back in 2004!
The Division's survival mode is one of my favorite experiences ever in gaming. It was, and still is, the best battle royale ever in my opinion. It genuinely felt like you were just barely surviving until you finally escaped. Real nailbiter
Lawbreakers was definitely on my list. Also an excellent ground breaking game called Smash + Grab. Bloodhunt is currently going through this right now and could potentially still be saved if it caught on. It's easily the best Battle Royale out imo, but if nothing changes it's doomed.
Tom Clancy’s End War is one for me. It was a fantastic and simple RTS for consoles. The voice commands worked great and even just using a controller worked just fine. The unit upgrade system was really cool and gave the game an interesting ethics system by giving you an option to allow your enemy to exfil downed units and keep their upgrades for later matches, or wipe them out completely. End War was by far my favorite RTS but online servers died relatively quickly after launch
Holy fuck, yes. I played the absolute fuck out of this game as a kid... I tried other RTS games but nothing could ever hook me quite like Endwar did. The progression system was just intoxicating, the gameplay too.
Me and another guy from Europe played Firestorm a lot. It was usually me against him. Sometimes we seen other people on it which was cool. But we played it like the film Enemy at the Gates, but without using sniper rifles. It was so cool and intense just us two on the map crawling for ages just to creep up on each other. Sad that it died. We became good friends through our love of Firestorm. The game Rainbow 6: Patriots seems like it would have been an amazing experience. It looked like the story would have been quite dark and gritty. I wish they had of made that game.
The Division had a lot of red flags leading up to launch. The way they cut away from enemies whenever combat broke out in the trailers to hide how spongey they were was one. Another red flag was the strange focus on the ability to close car doors. Not open them for cover. Not open them to drive them. But to close them while touching them. They also barely touched upon what the pvp would really be. Sure, I remember the first few weeks of the game being out and getting almost everyone in the DZ to work together to wipe out bosses and extract loot. But that passed quickly when the playerbase died off from rampant hacking. Which Ubisoft never really took care of. Even with Division 2, there's still a huge chance that a cheater will laser beam you while completely invisible underneath you.
Enemy Territory based off Wolfenstein was SO much fun and had a large player base. Must have pour HOURS into it but the followup game didn't do as well with the human vs. alien theme.
Why BF2042 it's not mentioned here??? That game could have been absolutely insane if they did it right from the beginning as to what the community expected. Also Hazard Zone behind a paywall was another huge mistake like Firestorm
Yes me too I used to love that predator mode where soldiers had to hunt the nanosuits I think that’s how it went sitting in tree with bow while cloaked taking out the soldiers was so satisfying .
The Lost Planet series could have been a huge titan in the 3rd person shooter genre. But the decisions with balancing in 2 and giving the development to another studio entirely with 3 made it really fall apart.
Lost Planet 2 was one of my favorite games in those early days! The single player story was so memorable! I think was I liked was the diversity in the maps in the campaign.
Titanfall 2 has kind of been revived thanks to the modding comunity, with the creation of Northstar which alows players to host their own custom servers. I still play titanfall 2 to this day. it is my favourite game
For me, all Assassin's Creed games multiplayers could have been so much more (especially Brotherhood one where you were told an actually story which was closely tied to singleplayer story, and don’t know why exactly, but for me back in the day this experience was mindblowing). I think that if only they would have continued down the path of OG Assassin’s Creed games and refined the gameplay to be as smooth, stylistic, fast and fun as possible and integrated it all in a multiplayer which would thrive on it, we could have gotten an amazing game. Also, Splinter Cell: Blacklist multiplayer for me was an astonishing experience. If only it would have been supported and developed more. I think it could have been a very interesting, somewhat asymmetrical (in terms of gameplay) PvP game (maybe on the level of DbD and such or even more)
The game BRINK proved that you can be weird or buggy, but not both on launch. It was a complicated game which I loved, but it was marred by big bugs that turned it into a internet joke and once the community decides something sucks, its hard to come back from that. Those of us that stuck with it were rewarded with a year or so of the best PVP FPS experience I have ever had.
I put it over 500 hours into Simcity 2013 and enjoyed the multiplayer mode with my friends. I honestly have many fond memories playing that game and to this day is probably the best looking City builder. That being said, I put in equally as many hours in C:S because of the immense modding potential right out of the gate.
The game like this for me is Shattered Horizon. It was a space FPS, but it was released on Windows Vista exclusively due to being the first game to implement DirectX 10. Most people decided not to buy Vista or didn't have computers good enough to play it and the studio went back to only making benchmark software.
Yeah i could see Hardline being a interesting XP. Though one of the problems people had with it was Theme, and the single player kinda sucked. I mean its Cops and Crooks and even had mechanics based around that Idea (non lethal melee weapons so you could interrogating enemies to locate the enemy team). Although I recall it had a problem with TRUCK RPG Spam.
Hardline seemed to fall victim “We, gamers want something new, not just a rehash.” When we get something new - “This different and not like the old thing. Nobody asked for this!”
At the top of my list would be Brink by Splash Damage. SD shaped the team based MP FPS genre for years with Q3Fortress, RTCW MP, and Enemy Territory. But when they tried to branch out with their own IP it bombed. I wonder how much of it was because their name and brand had been hidden behind the id software name.
Only one game i'll forever miss dearly - Gigantic. it was the absolute best hero shooter/melee game ever. i still have the most hours on Gigantic on steam than any other games even though its been dead for a few years now. heartbreaking stuff man
I'm so glad someone mentioned Crysis 3 multi-player. I remember buying that game on a lark and hopping into the multi-player just to see what it was all about after I finished the story. Oh my goodness, what a gem. It was such a fantastic experience and I spent hours screwing around in there years after the game lost popularity.
Def Far cry 5's arcade mode for me. You could make your own singeplayer, co-op and multiplayer maps with one of the best level editors for a fps ever made! It was overshadowed by the singeplayer mode and few people who own far cry 5 know it exists! I hope far cry 7 brings arcade mode back, because that mode is the reason why i have 500 hours in far cry 5 (unlike the 50 hours i have on far cry 6 because after completing the mediocre campaign i had no reason to return)
Firestorm was amazing and my first ever battle royale. Opening a bunker releasing the siren was terrifying and invigorating. My heart has never raced so hard than when I got a win.
Both Chromehounds and Lost Planet 2 had amazing multiplayer that shouldn't be lost to time. They're so unique and no one has managed to come close to either of those experiences, and I think they could thrive if they came out now.
I commented the same. The game feel is just so ridiculously good. It was a prime candidate for a F2P content mine like Destiny 2 but instead EA was too greedy.
To this day, I say that Firestorm is my favorite Battle Royale. It just scratched every itch I had for a BR and 64 players was a _perfect_ number for it. The destructible environments, vehicles, the activities you could do in-game- it was, in my opinion, perfect. A damn shame what fate befell it and the rest of Battlefield V.
That was an enjoyable watch. Agree with all your choices. let's hope they learn from these mistakes. I'm optimistic about the future of online multiplayer gaming.
I honestly would like a battlefield x titanfall game. 32v32 with the start of the game having your traditional battlefield play but adding a reinforcement point(battlefront 2 style) for players be able to play as a pilot(mech pilots) that then earns points for a titan.
I must disagree. Part of Titanfall's balance is that, while the pilot play is very fast-paced and up close (almost opposite of most Battlefield maps) requiring a lot of movement skill and accuracy to dominate, everyone WILL get multiple titans. In the words of Sir Swag, even the worst player can get something done with a 10 tonne death machine. Titanfall is too close and packed to really work in a large setting. I'd say 8 is the hard max for balance.
Me and my friends have talked about Firestorm recently. We loved that game mode. Tried to get into a game recently and was matched with only one other team. Very sad.
Another promising title that did not reach its potential and failed shortly after launch was Anthem. I loved the concept and playstyle from the moment I started the game. The ability to cruise up to a 1000ft above ground in your Javelin made traveling between missions so much fun.
An awesome vid, thank you B-).. Anthem I think could have also been an incredible game. Mass Effect + Destiny I was 100% there for it, but wow did Bioware S#!T the bed with that game.. Maybe one day they'll come back to Anthem 2.0, who knows.
Until this day I think the biggest multiplayer experience that people slept on is Crysis 1 Multiplayer. You could get bunch of weapons, use the suit, buy tanks that can literally shoot nukes! Nobody ever talks about the multiplayer in that game, however, that multiplayer was ahead of its time.
If big name streamers got together and held an event for Firestorm, I wonder if it would show DICE that people still wanna play it and maybe they would actually make it F2P?
I loved Lawbreakers. The movement mechanics were so fun and really made each character feel unique in a way that no other class based FPS has achieved IMO. It is really a pity that it had to compete with Overwatch on release and never really stood a chance
Firestorm was literally incredible when it worked. The paywall and the multiple times where a patch literally broke the mode for over a month were what stopped Firestorm from taking over the BR space
I met one of my best friends on crysis 3's multiplayer years ago, very fond memories of that experience. I don't think Titanfall 2 failed in any way, it just didn't go crazy with it's player count. Yeah the release window stifled what could have been but the game didn't really suffer for it, it had consistent and numerous content drops that added classic maps and more customisation options, more titans more guns. The hacking catastrophe was more putting the game to bed rather than choking the life out of it, as player numbers had dwindled massively by then. Since that point, the game has stabilized and still has a loyal player count. The game isn't dead, just living quietly.
Before I watched the video, the first two games I thought of were Firestorm and Evolve. I had great fun on both, especially Evolve. I do miss Evolve on console, and it’s clear to see that there is a demand for more destruction-type fps shooters like Firestorm based on the reception that The Finals has received.
I think both BF3 and BF4 could be on this list after they stopped supporting them. Both games I think were A+ games but failure to maintain them really allowed them to fail. BF has so many DLC's that not everyone buys, then you're limited on what you can play with your friends, so you get stuck in revolving lobbies of the base maps. Then there are soooo many maps if you do buy the DLC's that it's almost impossible to play the maps you want to. Add in the fact dice just dropped them after a year meant you are always left with the thought of "What these game could have been". You could say the same about PUBG. Ground breaking, then almost a decade later here we are with a game that just produces new maps, but interface and graphics are still PS3 grade quality.
Multiplayer games just make me sad now, bc i know they will eventually just become a bridge to nothing. it reminds me of how people say only the present really exists and that history is an illusion - because once BF3 goes dark it might as well have never existed in the first place.
3:57 *SimCity 2013* (the earlier games though), I remember that. Originally I was watching some twitch stream gameplay of *Cities: Skyline* , then I playfully labeled it as a *SimCity HD/4K* and some twitch chatter replied *It's what the last SimCity game wishes it was.* Good times.😎👾
It wasn't just Sim City's launch and servers that were bad. The thing that i remember really angered the people who brought it (Including me), was that the Devs lied to us constantly during development about how the new engine worked. They told us each household had a family that had jobs or schools to go to and each day the citizens would go about their routines. Except it was apparent very quickly each citizen left the house at the same time, and just went to the first available job, and then at the end of work went to the first house that was available. It completely killed the whole concept of it being a simulation and the people who lived in the city were just robotic. This is something City Skylines was able to adapt properly and its why that game is still around and Sim City is dead.
Another note about Crysis 3 MP: On PC there was zero anti-cheat and the Devs were super lazy, leaving the .txts that determine ability values totally exposed so you could just edit a file and have 999 energy for near infinite cloaking. My main saving grace in that game was a lot of experience playing AVP2 multi-player so I'm used to looking for cloak tells
I agree with Firestorm. That would have been my first foray into BR…..although I do enjoy Warzone at times…just don’t play often. But to have Battlefield destruction and the ring of fire, was such a cool idea.
OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead was highly underrated. People made two stupid assumptions that OVERKILL didn’t squash: it was going to look like the CG trailer; it was going to play like L4D/PD2. It was actually a good stealth game. The devs were going to spend years improving it, as they did with Payday 2, and it could have been an excellent game. Similarly, Back 4 Blood was highly underrated because people were expecting L4D3. Funnily enough, you could use the cards to make a deck that felt like L4D, but players were kind of restricted from immediately experiencing that. Plus, they’ve since slowed the game down.
Homefront: The Revolution. I only played it a year after release, when most of the bugs and optimization issues were fixed. It's still quite raw, but offers great mechanics and a surprisingly immersive world, especially if you play it with minimal HUD.
I still talk about Crysis 3 MP to this day, what a shame.... honestly had so much fun with it. Playing the Crysis 3 remaster just brought it all back. Maybe one day they will make it what it can be
I think Crysis 3 was the last game that I did closed testing work on. Sadly, fully predicted the issues it launched with because they were all there in Alpha state and were just never worked on. The gameplay you showed did bring back a few memories though! You forgot about Crysis Wars, which was an amazing game. Our clan had several servers running that were populated 24/7. DICE buggering up Firestorm pissed me off, too. It was so close to amazing, and fell so short.
There was a game that came out maybe around 2010. It was one of the first games to have 64 person multiplayer. The commercial had a guy using a drone to bomb a bunch of enemies in a building. I bought it and it was terrible. But I can’t remember the name of it for the life of me and it’s driving me crazy
FarCry 5 Arcade. Ubisoft never added any more modes than default deathmatch and team deathmatch, despite the borderline limitless potential there was. Still fun experience to this day, but could’ve been so much greater. And the complete removal of map editor in FarCry 6 signaled that they really didn’t care about the mode anymore, which is sad. Haven’t played the 6 and not planning to.
Crysis 3 was a mix of Arena and tactical shooters…? What? Did we play the same game? The only thing I can’t think that it has in common with arena shooters is “it’s played from the 1st person” and as for tactical shooters.. I have no clue. It’s got more in common with COD than it does an Arena or tactical shooter
MAG was a game that i wish did so much better, the beta was an absolute blast and the gameplay was fun. but the lack of clan options and unbalanced sides in the game made it hard to play after a short period of time where one side being over populated was always winning everything in the game and getting in game advantages because of it.
MarcoStyles made a phenomenal video on the Division and the reason why it is where it is. As much of a fun nostalgic late school nights staying up with friends type game it was to me, it deserved what was coming to it.
Man titanfall 2 failing is one of the biggest tragedies in gaming history.
It makes me sad every time I think about it. The most fun multiplayer I've ever played.
Just replayed the campaign yesterday & the day before. Always a great time.
I came here to say this. Easily one of the best and sadly most slept on first person shooters ever made.
You are so right.I loved the first one and the second as well.
the game didn't fail, the scheduling of the release did

The Division deserved a proper single-player experience and story, akin to STALKER. The world of New York was absolutely beautifully realised.
the division’s story is extensive. There are more than a few books, video essays on factions, tons of stuff all based from the first game and now the second one added even more to it.
2010's MOH multiplayer was fantastic. It was essentially an Afganistan war Bad Company 2. Made by DICE using frostbite. Really under appreciated.
Favorite 1st person shooter growing up. Especially the rush game mode was so much fun
@@boricua1151 It was fantastic. I feel like BC2, BC2:Vietnam and the MP for MOH 2010 was the best run of DICE. Every map was on point for the modes. A perfect little run.

The issue with this was that the "spawn on the front" option had you spawn on the furthest member of your half of the team. Bringing this full circle, guess who was the furthest person back on your side of the team? The snipers trying to whore score chains. Last thing that sucked was the chokepoints. This game was really just a bunch of DICE experiments and the biggest one was map design. The chokepoints probably wouldn't have been so bad if they had fixed the score chains and spawn system, but they never did.
Those two issues alone ruined that game for me and the overall flow of matches.
Titanfall 2 was such a huge kick of Nostalgia, after playing the first game and just how absolutely amazing it was. It's sad to hear that EA/Respawn has come out and said they've canceled a future installment to the TitanFall franchise
We can thank Apex for that.
@@declanjones8888 Apex is overrated.
@@bigballzmcdrawz2921 That's what I was saying, Apex is trash, plus they completely neutered the entire organization of the Apex Predators.
They're supposed to be a ruthless mercenary group, but Apex makes them look like a bunch dorks on TikTok.
@@declanjones8888Apex Predators is my go to faction in Titanfall 2, But like you said they look like a bunch of Tik Tards. (which is what I call Tim Tok users)
Also if it makes you feel better my friends who played Apex like Titanfall way more.
@@bigballzmcdrawz2921 Titanfall is goated! Whomever took down the Titanfall 2 servers may they burn in hell!
But glossing over that, the Apex Predators were a really interesting faction that we didn't get to see enough of and now we can't because now it's been retconned. And they were my favourite faction too.
For me it was Hawken: Vehicular/Mech Combat crossed with an FPS is just plain brilliancy. Even though it was mismanaged, I miss Hawken so much :(
I don't feel like that game failed though. It was not a highly anticipated title, just an under the radar cool game that pretty much did what it set out to do.
nvm what i said bacuse HAWKEN IS COMING BACK TO PC BABY!
Dust 514. It was an fps that had a well balanced skill tree system, territory control, it was linked to eve in some tangible ways, some items lost in a match were distributed among the player in that match so you could get a really cool item without having access to it. The mechanics were very satisfying and fun. I used the Scrambler Rifle and it was such a unique and fun weapon that I still think about it to this day. I've had dreams about using the Scrambler again. Massive shame. Also the social aspect of the game was one of a kind .
Hear, hear. Great fun getting a squad together and doing some damage.
Dust 514's legacy reminds me of MAG's...
What really bothers me about these games in particular is that you just literally cannot revisit them, lost to history.
Evolve, The Division, Titanfall 2. Such great games that I genuinely loved, Evolve especially hurt when it died off.
Evolve holds a special place in my heart. I think about that game all the time. I will never forget my first Max evolution, I put my war face on and took the fight to them 😂
Evolve looked like a pretty interesting title.
TFall 2 is one of mine as well. I think the campaign has slowly gotten the recognition it deserves.
The relaunched Medal of Honor had a great MP and pretty good story, but didn't seem to get a chance.
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier remains one of my favorite MP experiences, but Ubisoft didn't do crap to stop hackers which quickly ruined it.
I never got to play Medal of Honor's reboot/relaunch. I kept hearing its multiplayer was basically battlefield. By the time I remembered it existed, they shut down, or at least announced they would be shutting down the servers.
@@kyuubicurry The twist was that it was designed to be played with a buddy. Unfortunately this was long before Duo formats became popular.
Ghost recon future soldier was something special!!
Firestorm was the best BR out there. I wish they would bring it back and make it free to play.
You can still play it no?
@@ey1615 no one plays it
A game I would add to this list is Anthem. That game looked and felt incredible in so many ways and had so much potential
You beat me to it! That game was awesome... for about a week and then there was nothing left to do. I was really disappointed that they gave up on it so quickly, like they never meant to release it
You know the video is about pvp and not pve games right?
@@talosgak1236 I’m sorry can you please read me the title of the video?
Yeah. That'd be my suggestion as well. Anthem got screwed despite solid mechanical moment to moment play. (It was just literally everything around that which destroyed it's chance.) The whole revamp getting canceled due to lockdowns really hurts.
Shoutout to DirtyBomb, the best hero shooter. Shout out to Diabotical, the best modern arena shooter.
Nexon destroyed Dirty Bomb, that game was addicting
DB was epic and absolute banger of a game....pouring one out for our fallen homie..
it was soo unique. For those that didnt play it, imagine if overwatch actually had good gunplay and movement
@@TheSense13 im hoping they dont destroy The Finals and Arc Raiders. Embark is soo talented and nexon just has a list of ruined IPs
@@s_for_short2400 Embark seems to have a majority creative control over their IPs.
I can only wonder what a Singleplayer only The Division experience could be like. The world building is amazing and it has incredible potential for great storytelling. If you'd like to immerse yourself into this world, I recommend the "New York Collapse" book and The Division's audiobook.
Agreed. The whole atmosphere is brilliant. It looks amazing, walking through the city. But needing 3 clips to kill an enemy, and the whole looting/raiding mechanics … it was so what I had not expected from a Tom Clancy game. Tried it twice now, still love the looks and details, but it just doesnt work.
This mixed with Wildlands/Breakpoint storytelling and good SP and optional MP though, that would be gold to me.
Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising and its expansion pack Escalation. Those games were not failures per se, but the series died out after those. My best gaming memories were on Joint Operations. It had 150 player servers with infantry and air/ground/naval vehicle combat on massive maps all way back in 2004!
Still the best game iv played by far
For me, it was Battleborn. I really liked that game, and it was just destroyed by the simultaneous development and release of Overwatch.
it was so good!
That game was DOA
The Division's survival mode is one of my favorite experiences ever in gaming. It was, and still is, the best battle royale ever in my opinion. It genuinely felt like you were just barely surviving until you finally escaped. Real nailbiter
Shout out MAG on PS3. 256 player lobby's is crazy.
Great game. Better than bf conquest imo
Lawbreakers was definitely on my list. Also an excellent ground breaking game called Smash + Grab. Bloodhunt is currently going through this right now and could potentially still be saved if it caught on. It's easily the best Battle Royale out imo, but if nothing changes it's doomed.
Tom Clancy’s End War is one for me. It was a fantastic and simple RTS for consoles. The voice commands worked great and even just using a controller worked just fine.
The unit upgrade system was really cool and gave the game an interesting ethics system by giving you an option to allow your enemy to exfil downed units and keep their upgrades for later matches, or wipe them out completely.
End War was by far my favorite RTS but online servers died relatively quickly after launch
God I miss EndWar
Never played it but i remember it.
Holy fuck, yes. I played the absolute fuck out of this game as a kid... I tried other RTS games but nothing could ever hook me quite like Endwar did. The progression system was just intoxicating, the gameplay too.
Me and another guy from Europe played Firestorm a lot. It was usually me against him. Sometimes we seen other people on it which was cool. But we played it like the film Enemy at the Gates, but without using sniper rifles. It was so cool and intense just us two on the map crawling for ages just to creep up on each other. Sad that it died. We became good friends through our love of Firestorm. The game Rainbow 6: Patriots seems like it would have been an amazing experience. It looked like the story would have been quite dark and gritty. I wish they had of made that game.
The Division had a lot of red flags leading up to launch. The way they cut away from enemies whenever combat broke out in the trailers to hide how spongey they were was one. Another red flag was the strange focus on the ability to close car doors. Not open them for cover. Not open them to drive them. But to close them while touching them.
They also barely touched upon what the pvp would really be. Sure, I remember the first few weeks of the game being out and getting almost everyone in the DZ to work together to wipe out bosses and extract loot. But that passed quickly when the playerbase died off from rampant hacking. Which Ubisoft never really took care of. Even with Division 2, there's still a huge chance that a cheater will laser beam you while completely invisible underneath you.
Enemy Territory based off Wolfenstein was SO much fun and had a large player base. Must have pour HOURS into it but the followup game didn't do as well with the human vs. alien theme.
Titanfall 2 is literally one of my favorite games of all time. Everything from the guns to the movement to the titans themselves were amazing!
Why BF2042 it's not mentioned here??? That game could have been absolutely insane if they did it right from the beginning as to what the community expected. Also Hazard Zone behind a paywall was another huge mistake like Firestorm
EA refuses to learn from their previous mistakes.
Hazard zone is boring though. Even f2p wouldn't have saved it. The concept needed a lot more polish. I wish it would've succeeded though.
Crysis 3 had a great multiplayer and Crysis 2 also, I spent so many hours on it. It's so sad the franchise didn't get more love
Evolve Stage 2 had a brief resurgence last year in August when the servers randomly came back online, it was awesome.
damn !! sick
I miss The Division so much. It was one of my favorite games, even with all the problems.
Expected Anthem here
Me too definitely
Battleborn, Firefall, Beyond Divinity, and Paragon honestly I have a lot of games that didn't do so well as my favorite everyone is slightly flawed
im glad someone else remembers crysis 3 mp. i remember having a ton of fun with the mp, especially the demo.
Yes me too I used to love that predator mode where soldiers had to hunt the nanosuits I think that’s how it went sitting in tree with bow while cloaked taking out the soldiers was so satisfying .
Too unbalanced.
i’ll never forget the darkzone journeys, we once got 10 guys together and took turns extracting a bunch of stuff
The Lost Planet series could have been a huge titan in the 3rd person shooter genre. But the decisions with balancing in 2 and giving the development to another studio entirely with 3 made it really fall apart.
Lost Planet 2 was one of my favorite games in those early days! The single player story was so memorable! I think was I liked was the diversity in the maps in the campaign.
Titanfall 2 has kind of been revived thanks to the modding comunity, with the creation of Northstar which alows players to host their own custom servers. I still play titanfall 2 to this day. it is my favourite game
For me, all Assassin's Creed games multiplayers could have been so much more (especially Brotherhood one where you were told an actually story which was closely tied to singleplayer story, and don’t know why exactly, but for me back in the day this experience was mindblowing). I think that if only they would have continued down the path of OG Assassin’s Creed games and refined the gameplay to be as smooth, stylistic, fast and fun as possible and integrated it all in a multiplayer which would thrive on it, we could have gotten an amazing game. Also, Splinter Cell: Blacklist multiplayer for me was an astonishing experience. If only it would have been supported and developed more. I think it could have been a very interesting, somewhat asymmetrical (in terms of gameplay) PvP game (maybe on the level of DbD and such or even more)
The game BRINK proved that you can be weird or buggy, but not both on launch. It was a complicated game which I loved, but it was marred by big bugs that turned it into a internet joke and once the community decides something sucks, its hard to come back from that. Those of us that stuck with it were rewarded with a year or so of the best PVP FPS experience I have ever had.
Splash Damage always found a way to fuck up their game launches.
i loved that game.
GLobal Agenda was an amazing team shooter that just didn't have a studio that could keep it afloat. I miss that game so much.
goddamn, i put so many hours into that game as a kid. I still grieve for it.
I put it over 500 hours into Simcity 2013 and enjoyed the multiplayer mode with my friends. I honestly have many fond memories playing that game and to this day is probably the best looking City builder. That being said, I put in equally as many hours in C:S because of the immense modding potential right out of the gate.
Super Monday Night Combat was very fun, it was a solid MOBA, third person shooter mix, when support dropped that shit hurt.
The game like this for me is Shattered Horizon. It was a space FPS, but it was released on Windows Vista exclusively due to being the first game to implement DirectX 10. Most people decided not to buy Vista or didn't have computers good enough to play it and the studio went back to only making benchmark software.
I think battlefield hardline and MOA warfighter are easily the most underrated games of all time
Yeah i could see Hardline being a interesting XP. Though one of the problems people had with it was Theme, and the single player kinda sucked. I mean its Cops and Crooks and even had mechanics based around that Idea (non lethal melee weapons so you could interrogating enemies to locate the enemy team). Although I recall it had a problem with TRUCK RPG Spam.
Hardline seemed to fall victim “We, gamers want something new, not just a rehash.” When we get something new - “This different and not like the old thing. Nobody asked for this!”
@@stuartbagley2586 ironically gameplay wise it was very similar to bf3. But people sheeped around the whole theme
At the top of my list would be Brink by Splash Damage. SD shaped the team based MP FPS genre for years with Q3Fortress, RTCW MP, and Enemy Territory. But when they tried to branch out with their own IP it bombed. I wonder how much of it was because their name and brand had been hidden behind the id software name.
Only one game i'll forever miss dearly - Gigantic. it was the absolute best hero shooter/melee game ever. i still have the most hours on Gigantic on steam than any other games even though its been dead for a few years now. heartbreaking stuff man
I'm so glad someone mentioned Crysis 3 multi-player. I remember buying that game on a lark and hopping into the multi-player just to see what it was all about after I finished the story. Oh my goodness, what a gem. It was such a fantastic experience and I spent hours screwing around in there years after the game lost popularity.
I really hope they bring back evolve, game had so much potential
Def Far cry 5's arcade mode for me. You could make your own singeplayer, co-op and multiplayer maps with one of the best level editors for a fps ever made! It was overshadowed by the singeplayer mode and few people who own far cry 5 know it exists! I hope far cry 7 brings arcade mode back, because that mode is the reason why i have 500 hours in far cry 5 (unlike the 50 hours i have on far cry 6 because after completing the mediocre campaign i had no reason to return)
Hopefully the next Crysis will have proper multiplayer support.
Firestorm was amazing and my first ever battle royale. Opening a bunker releasing the siren was terrifying and invigorating. My heart has never raced so hard than when I got a win.
Titanfall 2 is playable. Both vanilla and Northstar client.
Both Chromehounds and Lost Planet 2 had amazing multiplayer that shouldn't be lost to time. They're so unique and no one has managed to come close to either of those experiences, and I think they could thrive if they came out now.
Lawbreakers came to my mind immediately. Just needed to be Free-to-play and have TDM and additional traditional modes
Got the platinum trophy in that game. LOVED LB
Oh my I loved Evolve, the last game i ever brought a physical copy of. I was top 10 in the leaderboards by the end of its life :(. Miss it
Anthem would definitely be on my list I love the feeling and mechanics in that game.
I commented the same. The game feel is just so ridiculously good. It was a prime candidate for a F2P content mine like Destiny 2 but instead EA was too greedy.
To this day, I say that Firestorm is my favorite Battle Royale. It just scratched every itch I had for a BR and 64 players was a _perfect_ number for it. The destructible environments, vehicles, the activities you could do in-game- it was, in my opinion, perfect. A damn shame what fate befell it and the rest of Battlefield V.
That was an enjoyable watch. Agree with all your choices. let's hope they learn from these mistakes. I'm optimistic about the future of online multiplayer gaming.
I honestly would like a battlefield x titanfall game. 32v32 with the start of the game having your traditional battlefield play but adding a reinforcement point(battlefront 2 style) for players be able to play as a pilot(mech pilots) that then earns points for a titan.
They actually had this game sort of. It was called Battlefield 2142.
I must disagree. Part of Titanfall's balance is that, while the pilot play is very fast-paced and up close (almost opposite of most Battlefield maps) requiring a lot of movement skill and accuracy to dominate, everyone WILL get multiple titans. In the words of Sir Swag, even the worst player can get something done with a 10 tonne death machine. Titanfall is too close and packed to really work in a large setting. I'd say 8 is the hard max for balance.
You always create awesome content, keep up the good work 👍
Me and my friends have talked about Firestorm recently. We loved that game mode. Tried to get into a game recently and was matched with only one other team. Very sad.
Far cry 3 multiplayer is very underrated.....
Farcry 5 the arcade is also very underrated.
Another promising title that did not reach its potential and failed shortly after launch was Anthem.
I loved the concept and playstyle from the moment I started the game. The ability to cruise up to a 1000ft above ground in your Javelin made traveling between missions so much fun.
An awesome vid, thank you B-).. Anthem I think could have also been an incredible game. Mass Effect + Destiny I was 100% there for it, but wow did Bioware S#!T the bed with that game.. Maybe one day they'll come back to Anthem 2.0, who knows.
GIGANTIC - Miss this game every year...
Until this day I think the biggest multiplayer experience that people slept on is Crysis 1 Multiplayer. You could get bunch of weapons, use the suit, buy tanks that can literally shoot nukes! Nobody ever talks about the multiplayer in that game, however, that multiplayer was ahead of its time.
I get the sense that you made this video as a warning to Embark Studios for their game "The Finals"
Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing easily the most underrated game of all time.
If big name streamers got together and held an event for Firestorm, I wonder if it would show DICE that people still wanna play it and maybe they would actually make it F2P?
My five: Call of Duty Modern Warfare II, Call of Duty Vanguard, Battlefield 2042, Cyberpunk 2077, Call of Duty Infinite Warfare.
I loved Lawbreakers. The movement mechanics were so fun and really made each character feel unique in a way that no other class based FPS has achieved IMO. It is really a pity that it had to compete with Overwatch on release and never really stood a chance
Battle Born was another game that deserved so much better, but it launched at an awful time between BF1 and Overwatch
Firestorm was literally incredible when it worked. The paywall and the multiple times where a patch literally broke the mode for over a month were what stopped Firestorm from taking over the BR space
I met one of my best friends on crysis 3's multiplayer years ago, very fond memories of that experience.
I don't think Titanfall 2 failed in any way, it just didn't go crazy with it's player count. Yeah the release window stifled what could have been but the game didn't really suffer for it, it had consistent and numerous content drops that added classic maps and more customisation options, more titans more guns. The hacking catastrophe was more putting the game to bed rather than choking the life out of it, as player numbers had dwindled massively by then. Since that point, the game has stabilized and still has a loyal player count. The game isn't dead, just living quietly.
Before I watched the video, the first two games I thought of were Firestorm and Evolve. I had great fun on both, especially Evolve. I do miss Evolve on console, and it’s clear to see that there is a demand for more destruction-type fps shooters like Firestorm based on the reception that The Finals has received.
I think both BF3 and BF4 could be on this list after they stopped supporting them. Both games I think were A+ games but failure to maintain them really allowed them to fail. BF has so many DLC's that not everyone buys, then you're limited on what you can play with your friends, so you get stuck in revolving lobbies of the base maps. Then there are soooo many maps if you do buy the DLC's that it's almost impossible to play the maps you want to. Add in the fact dice just dropped them after a year meant you are always left with the thought of "What these game could have been". You could say the same about PUBG. Ground breaking, then almost a decade later here we are with a game that just produces new maps, but interface and graphics are still PS3 grade quality.
Multiplayer games just make me sad now, bc i know they will eventually just become a bridge to nothing. it reminds me of how people say only the present really exists and that history is an illusion - because once BF3 goes dark it might as well have never existed in the first place.
Firestorm was really fun
3:57 *SimCity 2013* (the earlier games though), I remember that. Originally I was watching some twitch stream gameplay of *Cities: Skyline* , then I playfully labeled it as a *SimCity HD/4K* and some twitch chatter replied *It's what the last SimCity game wishes it was.* Good times.😎👾
It wasn't just Sim City's launch and servers that were bad. The thing that i remember really angered the people who brought it (Including me), was that the Devs lied to us constantly during development about how the new engine worked. They told us each household had a family that had jobs or schools to go to and each day the citizens would go about their routines. Except it was apparent very quickly each citizen left the house at the same time, and just went to the first available job, and then at the end of work went to the first house that was available.
It completely killed the whole concept of it being a simulation and the people who lived in the city were just robotic. This is something City Skylines was able to adapt properly and its why that game is still around and Sim City is dead.
Titanfall 2!! Thank you for mentioning it, truly tragic.
Another note about Crysis 3 MP: On PC there was zero anti-cheat and the Devs were super lazy, leaving the .txts that determine ability values totally exposed so you could just edit a file and have 999 energy for near infinite cloaking.
My main saving grace in that game was a lot of experience playing AVP2 multi-player so I'm used to looking for cloak tells
Anthem, great visuals, cool concepts, fun combat. Plagued by rushed development by EA, lots of bugs, not a ton of end game, meat shields.
I remember playing the demo for Crysis 3 and being really really impressed. Really glad you mentioned it
I agree with Firestorm. That would have been my first foray into BR…..although I do enjoy Warzone at times…just don’t play often. But to have Battlefield destruction and the ring of fire, was such a cool idea.
OVERKILL’s The Walking Dead was highly underrated. People made two stupid assumptions that OVERKILL didn’t squash: it was going to look like the CG trailer; it was going to play like L4D/PD2. It was actually a good stealth game. The devs were going to spend years improving it, as they did with Payday 2, and it could have been an excellent game.
Similarly, Back 4 Blood was highly underrated because people were expecting L4D3. Funnily enough, you could use the cards to make a deck that felt like L4D, but players were kind of restricted from immediately experiencing that. Plus, they’ve since slowed the game down.
Hawken. Very saddened by general lack of content because the base mechanics were very solid and fun. I liked its slow pace and clunky, weighty mechs.
Firestorm looks so dope. I hope they just release it as it's own free to play title. That would be awesome indeed.
Homefront: The Revolution.
I only played it a year after release, when most of the bugs and optimization issues were fixed. It's still quite raw, but offers great mechanics and a surprisingly immersive world, especially if you play it with minimal HUD.
I came here to say the first Homefront, Homefront: The Revolution was such a dissappointment compared to the multiplayer in the first homefront
@@shrek3096 HF1 multiplayer was indeed very cool and perhaps too ambitious for the dev's capabilities. HFTR is all about single player though
Firestorm is honestly the best battle royal I’ve played!! Me and my squad played it on Xbox until the servers were literally a ghost town.
I still talk about Crysis 3 MP to this day, what a shame.... honestly had so much fun with it.
Playing the Crysis 3 remaster just brought it all back. Maybe one day they will make it what it can be
Gigantic, Battlerite, Spellbreak... These are just tragic...
I think Crysis 3 was the last game that I did closed testing work on. Sadly, fully predicted the issues it launched with because they were all there in Alpha state and were just never worked on. The gameplay you showed did bring back a few memories though! You forgot about Crysis Wars, which was an amazing game. Our clan had several servers running that were populated 24/7.
DICE buggering up Firestorm pissed me off, too. It was so close to amazing, and fell so short.
There was a game that came out maybe around 2010. It was one of the first games to have 64 person multiplayer. The commercial had a guy using a drone to bomb a bunch of enemies in a building. I bought it and it was terrible. But I can’t remember the name of it for the life of me and it’s driving me crazy
Ubisofts battle royale, Hyperscape was actually one of my favorite games ever, suprised its not here. It was pretty huge for a couple months.
FarCry 5 Arcade. Ubisoft never added any more modes than default deathmatch and team deathmatch, despite the borderline limitless potential there was. Still fun experience to this day, but could’ve been so much greater. And the complete removal of map editor in FarCry 6 signaled that they really didn’t care about the mode anymore, which is sad. Haven’t played the 6 and not planning to.
Crysis 3 was a mix of Arena and tactical shooters…? What? Did we play the same game?
The only thing I can’t think that it has in common with arena shooters is “it’s played from the 1st person” and as for tactical shooters.. I have no clue.
It’s got more in common with COD than it does an Arena or tactical shooter
I wouldn't say The Division "failed", it more like stumbled.
MAG was a game that i wish did so much better, the beta was an absolute blast and the gameplay was fun. but the lack of clan options and unbalanced sides in the game made it hard to play after a short period of time where one side being over populated was always winning everything in the game and getting in game advantages because of it.
MarcoStyles made a phenomenal video on the Division and the reason why it is where it is.
As much of a fun nostalgic late school nights staying up with friends type game it was to me, it deserved what was coming to it.
