ITT: Name that short lived multiplayer game (or game mode) that you greatly enjoyed but fell into obscurity.

For me, it was Crysis 2 Multiplayer, just dumb fun with great movement.

Crysis 2 multiplayer was that horrid Modern Warfare trash. Should have stuck with the Battlefield multiplayer instead.

Multiplayer was a clusterfuck but I enjoyed it.

I miss battlebit

Not necessarily short lived, but fuck GameSpy shutdown. These games were never truly alive since, like Sniper Elite or SWAT4
>>
>>738124103
Wasn't it also used as an online component for the first Borderlands? That was probably the last game I played that had it to my recollection.
>>
>>738124192
The publishers/developers who cared patched the games to work without GameSpy master server.

Similar to what happened with some GFWL games later.

i will be forever mad at crysis 2 with their cod multiplayer instead of fleshing out ground wars.

nuking the enemy base was based as fuck

I still play ME3 multiplayer with friends because there's no good co-op games

The first Red Dead Redemption. Super fun cowboy death matches. The guns felt great to use. Really satisfying headshots and outplay abilities
>>
>>738124342
Surprised EA didn't shut down the MP servers for ME3 yet, remember playing it to death back when it released and I didn't even bother touching the story mode at all.

Assassins Creed multiplayer

I loved the Darkness multiplayer on 360. It had normal deathmatch ctf etc and the had twists on then so you could become the little demons and jump across the rooms walk on ceilings walls etc. Did condemned 2 have multiplayer aswell? Cant remember.

tribes ascend had a fun game mode, i think it was called rabbit
free for all capture the flag
everyone was chasing the same flag and you got points for holding it
getting the flag and running for your life was fun

haven't been able to find anything like it since

the PS360 era had many 'failed' multiplayer games and tacked on MP modes that had fun ideas before everything consolidated into MW
>warhawk
>MAG
>socom 4
>ME3
>BIOSHOCK 2
>titanfall (played it on 360)
and many more

Tactical Intervention. Specifically the highway level where the CTs have to chase down the Ts and eliminate a VIP before he gets to a helicopter. Driving, leaning out of the window to shoot, civilian vehicles, taking hostages, it was PEAK cops and robbers fantasy.

Fucking loved playing as Bane and smashing Joker thugs

God I'd forgotten all about this one. I used to play it and Nosgoth and nothing else.

Metal Gear Online 2 was incredible, until they killed it for seemingly no reason. It was so good, it's playable on PC nowadays.

I still have it installed for the sake of preservation. I'll never be able to access the files since they're encrypted but I just can't bring myself to delete it.

>>738122598
>Fat Princess
>Naruto to Boruto:Shiobi Strikers
Shinobi strikers in particular was/is amazing. It's still around last I checked but will probably die sometime soon even though it's the best and only online Naruto game ever and sold like hotcakes.

It's a MOBA game and seems simplistic at first but the combat is actually quite deep and it just feels really great to do good at it. You can choose from dozens of different moves and personalize your fighting style in many ways so it's just dope

>>738125521
YES. I remember loving the hell out of this and I can't believe UbiSlop hasn't made some freeware battle royale version of it. Honestly Assassin's Creed actually works as a BR

I miss when every game had online. Uncharted 2/3? and Bioshock 2 had some fun online as well

To be fair, Tom clancy games always had a strong multiplayer fanbase.
They werent short lived.
