Bioshock 2's Insane Multiplayer in 2022
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 апр 2022
- Bioshock released in 2007 to massive praise. With a sequel being a for sure thing, 2k needed to make sure Bioshock 2 was packed filled with content to keep the attention of the player. This was at the same time games like Call of duty 4, and Halo 3 were released so it seemed like a multiplayer mode was a must. Upon release the story mode would take about 8 hours of playing and have 8 different endings, and a full fleshed out multiplayer. So how was it? we are going to dive into it in this video to find out if it was any good.

The fact that the Multiplayer isn't included in the remaster is a crime!
100% agree with you there
Same, I only played a bit of it before the multiplayer shut down, it was a bit bumpy but I genuinely loved it. I really do wish they could bring it back on steam or consoles.
Rite that's all I have thanks to ps+
That would’ve taken effort unfortunately.
I loved the first game back in the day and didn't get to play the 2nd until a couple years ago in the remaster on PC, so I literally had no idea there was EVER a multiplayer mode like this in there originally. So yeah, I completely missed the boat on this experience. Bummer.
I've been a single player gamer for decades, but BioShock 2 multiplayer is propably the only one I spent more than an hour in. It was pretty fun.
I do feel like they did a stand up job making this multiplayer pretty accessible to the single player base by adding plasmids the player was use to. If I remember correctly this was the only multiplayer game my dad ever enjoyed.
pretty surprised the multiplayer never took off, i think it had a ton of potential.
True, the biggest issue was competition, the fad at the time being modern FPS games this just seemed a bit to unique for its own good. It does suck though as its a ton of fun and I cant think of another multiplayer like it.
One of the problems was this game was released inbetween modern warfare 2 and black ops 1. Imo those were CODs glory days and it seemed like any other multi-player fps games were mostly ignored in favor of COD.
I agree, I myself even tended to play CODs over this, even though this was such a blast.
Agreed
Agreed
I wish more people revisited older games more often. I like to go back and explore, or re-explore games from the past quite a bit. For instance, my games on tap for tonight are Bioshock 2 and Deadspace 3 :)
I enjoyed it back in the day. I really liked the Big Daddy suit that both teams would fight over, and how your characters would look *WORSE* as they leveled up as a side effect of all the plasmids.
ALWAYS loved the attention to detail this multiplayer had.
BioShock in general is easily one of my all time favorite gaming series. The multiplayer for it was bumpy but was still fun and lore wise was brilliant cause we only heard and seen the ruins of the rapture civil war, but being part of the civil war is honestly a great idea.
Yes I loved how they tied it into the lore instead of making it some throw away multiplayer.
Elephant gun? Grenade launcher? Allow me to introduce you to electrobolt-crossbow.
This and Dead Space 2 multiplayer went above and beyond what I expected
I had no idea Dead Space 2 had a multiplayer??
@Sunk yeah it was basically left 4 dead 2s vs mode in a sense. Have 4 Isaac's basically vs 4 necromorph players. You could pick the little kids to slasher necros and pukers.
I remember playing this a lot back in the day on the 360
my most used loadout was Nailgun (damage upgrade), Elephant gun (damage upgrade), winter blast, houdini, fast metabolism, repairman and one other tonic (can't remember, I know I used speedy hacker sometimes and the eve regenerator one others)
It was a sort of generalist loadout, who could do decently at most ranges, and focused on map control with hacking/repairing turrets, and hacking vending machines. the winter blast helped this by making it safer and quicker to hack things
I would always scramble to get the big daddy suit if it spawned, no matter what
When I was younger playing this game I don't think I fully grasped how awesome some of this combos are, Ill have to try your most used loadout sometime!
This multiplayer was so underrated… wish some games would take things from it.
Agreed! It was so unique and so underappreciated.
I miss when story driven games would have random multiplayer modes, like Ghostbusters, Batman Arkham origins and The last of us
I loved the multiplayer; felt ahead of its time. You look at how the new last of us online is merging single player narratives in a MP setting…well Bioshock 2 already did that. Plus a really cool surprise ending to tap off some great balancing and fun maps :)
For sure! I really was disappointed when TLOU2 didn't have multiplayer.
Never had this one, but it made me think of my days playing Resistance Fall of Man multiplayer. That one was quite impressive and worth talking about as well.
Oh man the original Resistance Fall of Man multiplayer and the sequel were a blast! If I'm not mistaking the sequel had some crazy 32v32 game mode that was super chaotic.
had so much fun with this multiplayer back in the day on the 360. might look into playing it on steam :) cool video- subbed
Great video! Keep up the good work
Loved playing as Jacob Norris and Blanche De Glasse, mainly using Electrobolt and Telekinesis as my plasmids and I was also very fond of the revolver as a very useful weapon. Hope one day this Multiplayer can get a big comeback. It's so much fun.
Kinda missed it's shot with the remastered version not having it, but with news of some sort of new Biochock in the works we can only hope to get some kind of multiplier mode.
I don't care much for multiplayer, but I did like how progression allowed you to learn about these many poor souls caught in the conflict of Rapture.
Honestly I wish more companies would connect the multiplayer with the single player story. Gave a lot of people who only played single player games a reason to try out multiplayer.
actually a good mp game for how little work they put in
I remember coming home from school and instantly going to the Xbox to slay in this multiplayer. Very fun and strategic.
Every fight you win feels so rewarding tbh!
Damn I remember being in the top 50 playing against Unpredictable D, Frank Fontaine and Eve Saver. If you know you know 🥂
Shoutout to the very few of you seasoned gentlemen that played this gamemode back then
I honestly used to play this religiously when I had xbox live, I was young and not very good at it but it nevertheless was so amazing to me, multiplayer bioshock was a dream come true for w fanatic like me...... I'm so sad it died out on 360, I really never expected it to it seemed to have such longevity
I was an advid player on ps3 back around 2012 - 2014. I miss those days as it was my first real online multiplayer back during highschool. Many of the people I met on there, I wound up friend of Facebook of all things lol. Every blue moon, I'm able to find people playing on ps3 somehow though.
That's amazing, I only had any real luck on PC occasionally, but that's funny we could have played way back in the day since that was my main way to play around the same time!
I can't afforded soft soft. what alternative can I get?
How are the servers still up after all these years?
Nice video, i still play this game.
Thank you! I was surprised on how easy it was to get into a game still.
It was actually really fun and played a lot of hours of it. Damn shame it wasn’t included in the remastered version.
8:52 "Girth_Wind_and_Fire" lmao 😂
Gotta love random usernames of other people lmao.
Great video!
Thank you I appreciate it!
I bought every dlc for bioshock 2 and the mutiplayer dlcs also. Wished they could have transfer your mutiplayer progess and they could bring it on the remastered also
Love this multiplayer to this day wish theyd make a newer bioshock with multiplayer. Also was this on Remastered or classic Bioskock 2?
Classic it never got rereleased for the remastered version sadly.
W telekinesis, you can also deflect bullets w certain props.
Gained a sub bro this was a good vid
Appreciate the kind words!
onlu one times windows live let me play this game as a kid with horrible lags with my shitty internert and shitty pc, it was slides but i was so happy in those times.
A versus mode where you have to save little sisters would have been interesting.
I would have loved to see a game mode where saving little sisters would gain you atom to which you would buy perks and plasmids with it.
Or a Sander Cohen horde mode.
I remember booting this up on my 360 and being blown away that the multiplayer connected to the story, and progression was with it. But even when I got it, the multiplayer was well past its hayday. I thought story-canon multiplayer would be the next big thing. Only other game that got me hyped like it was Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Now it seems like canonicity gets in the way of fun multiplayer (I'm looking at you Halo Infinite!)
Man what a nice world we would have if more games followed this trend, with that being said I feel like nowadays games try their hardest to separate their story mode from their multiplayer.
Bioshock was just such a perfect ip, so much potential, hell I still argue they need to make a game set in the civil war, like the multiplayer was basically simulating, we were fighting rapture's civil war.
Being a Big Daddy online was sick you felt like an absolute unit
The killstreaks I had with big daddy were incredible back in the day.
I'll be honest I never even knew it existed until very recently.
I don't blame you, it's fair to say everyone was talking about Bioshock's single player over it's multiplayer.
There still people online? I'm going to find out but I have the 360 version of the game. I hope there are though because this game is the bomb.
Online multiplayer shooters on consoles were already mainstream by the time Modern Warfare came out. Halo 2 came out 3 years before CoD4.
All the maps are excellent. You just have to know how to play on them. Insect swarm is a perfect plasmid. It's primarily used for attacking the suit. All the plasmids and guns are perfect. It's the best multiplayer game, and game, period (the multiplayer).
I think some maps just support players that have everything unlocked, with open areas and large ledges that can be accessed by players with perks and plasmids that take a while to get. I see you are a bit biased but I'll end with this, it's obvious the devs took care into this product even when they didn't have to, it works better, and is more enjoyable than I was expecting. I really enjoyed this experience, there's no way it was going to be perfect, but they made it fun which is more important than trying to make it perfectly balanced when the multiplayer wasn't even the main focus of the game.
@@Sunk I'm not biased. I'm right. I've done magic. Is that biased? I'm right. You're wrong.
@@emileofbioshock lmao I'll agree to disagree with you then.
@@emileofbioshock Im glad he stopped the argument. You're obnoxious
@@emileofbioshock Are you ok
The multiplayer was amazing because it’s just fun and not serious.
just an included bonus
The Bioshock games deserve to be called immersive sims and not just immersive sim lite especially considering System Shock 1 didn’t have all the rpg stuff that System Shock 2 did.
Also I don’t think that insect swarm didn’t fit as it was a fun plasmid in each game it was in.
I will also say that I wish it had a bot option.
It fit in the multiplayer I just never used it I guess, I just know die hard immersive sim fans would have went crazy if I called it a straight up immersive sim. Personally I do feel it should qualify but I'm also not someone who has a lot of experience with immersive sims.
System Shock 1 had a lot more going for it than Bioshock 1, though.
Shame this one never took off. Granted, it had to compete woth games like Call of Duty or Battlefield back then and every other game had a multiplayer mode shoved in there (like Dead Space 2 which was odd), bit I think this one was well made and true to the universe and lore. Loved the customization, little character dialogue, and how original some of the weapons and Plasmids were, kinda makes me wish we had a single player or co-op DLC playing as a human and not a Big Daddy so we could use these powers in a story setting.
I played a lot of this one even though I was never good, my favorite combo was using Winter Blast and then shattering them with Aero Dash, even of it was not as useful as Electrobolt and the crossbow
I miss those days for real man. Most games multiplayer modes were good to kill an evening or so but this and a few others shined through with some awesome unique experiences. I never got to play the dead space 2 multiplayer and there isn't any active servers now which is a shame.
I never knew this game had multiplayer until a few days ago... Wish it came with the remaster :(
Big miss from the devs. If it was added to the remaster I definitely would have imagined it getting a bit of a resurgence.
I haven't seen anyone mention this, but the developers of the multiplayer wasn't 2K (main game's developers), instead developed by Digital Extremes, who would go on to make Warframe. Seeing how much they fleshed out a multiplayer game mode with both mechanical complexity and story progression is a real testament to how much DE cares, and you can see that care in Warframe today.
I have no idea how I didn't catch that. In some of my other videos covering multiple player modes in games I cover who developed them, but that's a huge reason why so much care went into it. Thanks for the info!
Bro that’s crazy and warframe is so fun too
if it wasn’t for the bioshock demo on ps3 i wouldn’t have gotten the experience i did which led me to purchase all of them, literally one of two game demos i ever played the other was motorstorm on ps3 and boy aren’t i glad i played it i now have both original bioshocks platinumed and infinite i have yet to start
Oh man I probably put more hours into that motorstorm demo than most other racing games I had. I was lucky enough to piggy back of the great video game selection my dad had. It introduced me to some of my favorite single player games to this day. The PS3 is still my favorite console to look back on.
You can find a guide to auto leveling to the highest level on steam, so you can get everything
This is one of the best muiltiplayers of all time. Absolutely criminal it went nowhere.
I have never played any of these. I did however pick all 3 up when Epic had them for free not long ago. Are they worth playing after all this time?
For sure! The first two are amazing in almost every aspect. Rapture is an absolute treat to explore and it's well worth the playthrough. Infinite is a little less of an actual Bioshock game, it feels more like a standard FPS game, but I still enjoyed the playthrough.
Fun Fact: you can't play the BioShock 2 Multiplayer game in the remastered version of BioShock 2, Only in the Original version.
THEIRS 8 DIFFRENT ENDINGS I've only got 2 how do I get the others
Your ending depends on whether you saved some, all, or none of the Little Sisters, and how many people you chose to kill/spare of Grace, Stanley, and Gil. There are guides you can look up for which combination of these factors will get you each ending.
OMG I LOVED THIS
Really appreciate it!
This reminds me a lot of Gotham city imposters
Man now THATS a F2P game I miss.
The multiplayer use to be really fun and I had a lot of good times on it but unfortunately it’s dead now on Xbox. You’d have to actually find friends with the game and organize matches anymore.
Yea even the PC is hard to find servers, took me a few attempts to get a semi filled lobby.
Yea from what I have been seeing your only real shot of any games are on PC which sucks.
@@Sunk That does suck because I’m a console only kinda guy. Oh well, good times were had and memories were made but onto the next thing.
This took me back, simpler times as a 11yo on my PS3 🥹
I was today years old when I found out Bioshock had any kind of multiplayer at all????
Bruhh it was so damn fun i was disappointed when 2 and Infinite didnt have a pvp like 1 did
it was bioshock 2 with the multiplayer not 1
Why summarize the games when the title is about the multiplayer
Still exists on ps3 and that's just great
Except for the Aero dash-electrobolt-crossbow guys
Screw them!
how can it be was if its still going strong
Do people still play?
Its not consistent but you can still find a decently filled server from time to time.
Can I ask the BioShock fans in the comments: do you love 1&2 but hate Infinite or am I in the minority?
I was disappointed by Infinite, but I will say overall I still enjoyed my time with it. 1 and 2 were leagues better than it though.
They never included it in the remaster biggest lost opportunity of all time
If people still play Bioshock 2 multiplayer I’ll be buying this game for sure
It's not the easiest game to find players in but you can get into games here and there for sure!
Yeah it was good u could hack turrents have different plasmids added and I always used the tommy and crossbow
Bioshock 2 has 8 endings? I thought there were only 3 endings...
From what I remember it's like 3 main endings with slight variations within those endings. It got real confusing looking up as there are multiple different answers online but there's a good video that went through all eight.
anyone else clock the name girth wind & fire lmao
One of my favorite things about playing multiplayer games is just reading the ridiculous names of other players to each other. Don't know how I missed that gem though lmao
@@Sunk Same, it’s so funny! What an era that was 😂 I kept seeing it pop up and thought that’s brilliant hahaha! This game was so good online - kudos on the video bro!
PS 4?
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm nice vid
anyone online ps3?
too bad the servers are dead
Consoles probably, but I was surprised how often I could find a decently full match online on PC
@@Sunk I am on pc. And I sat in the "all games" lobby for over an hour before even 1 player joined then immediately left... Same situation on dead space 2
@@PrincessXylaGalanis what worked for me was evenings around 6pm EST, even then I would leave after 10 minutes of waiting and try again later.
Play onlinr on PS3 with me anyone!
Nice video you could be a teacher
Have not gotten that before but arguably might be one of my favorite things I have gotten. Thank you!
@@Sunk Of course! Everything was so engaging and interesting.
BioShock 2 MP had Hacks and people were using God modes and shit.
I never ran into that while playing, back in the day I played in on console though so that probably effected how many cheaters I ran into.
@@Sunk I was on X360 and after a month the game had nothing but modders. The lobbies I went in had two almost every time.
Game was also filled with griefers and BMX spammers ( like me )
Multiplayer was unbalanced AF but was great to do stupid stuff just because you could.
Rooster don't play multiplayer anymore. Hackers and toddlers cussing you out removed the fun from it
Do Black Ops One.
Multiply player.
Wait what wtf
Come on, man... it took you almost half the video, 5:22, until you actually start talking about the title. We don't need the synopsis of Call of Duty and BioShock 1 and 2's story.
To your credit I really should chapter the video for people who want to skip to the breakdown. I personally am interested in the history of the multiplayer in Bioshock. It wasn't in the first game, so what changed and made them feel the need to add it to the second. I also just like talking about Bioshock.
i dont mean to be a smartass but you really need to talk louder in your videos
Don't worry you are not being a smartass! It's a problem I have always had since I am pretty hard of hearing, once I get into the editing section I end up lowering my volume thinking its too loud and am normally wrong.
@@Sunk oh ok yah I was just making sure you were aware of that
My man calling bioshock an immersive sim 😂. If your gonna act like some essay RUclipsr, at least play more videogames
Buddy I called it an immersive sim light because I knew I would get some people who would get all anal about it. I don't think it's an immersive sim, but it's more than your run of the mill fps game. It has immersive sim elements while keeping itself more linear.
@@Sunk dare you to name me one mechanism that simulates something in real life
