PC Multiplayer is Dead.

[LightandDark]

I'm am currently mourning.

No matter how hard I try, it's getting harder, and harder to find a populated game nowadays for the PC.

Whether you try regular or himachi, not many people want to play online on a PC.

PS3s, 360s. and Wiis are all the rage now, apparently, if it's multiplayer and not PC only, pick the console version.

Plus, most downloadable content are only available for the consoles, Sure, PC Games have mods, but the problem is who can get enough people to play him?

PC Developers might as well get rid of multiplayer components, its not like we're actually going to use them.

Goodbyre PC Multiplayer, we hardly knew thee.

[Sekhem]

Have you seen how many people play Battlefield 2 or WoW? It's far from dead.

[Andrei-Ulmeyda]

Counter-Strike

Team Fortress 2

World of Warcraft

Battlefield 2

In addition we have games like Battlefield: Heroes and Left 4 Dead coming out.

Who says PC multiplayer is dead?

[Legionnaire-X]

You're dumb.

[malachi117]

You must be playing the wrong games online then.

The PC is the one system that allows you to move with a mouse wherever you want, the control sticks can't do that just right.

I mean we may have never even needed other game systems if everyone was happy with a good PC.

So how can it be dead on mutiplayer there's so many things like CS and WoW on the PC.

Isn't there steam?

[SniperWolf1564]

This argument is just so wrong.

Look at Unreal Tournament. There are still a lot of people playing the game across the whole series.

I used to play Counter Strike 1.6. I stopped playing in 2006. A year later I installed it again and even though CS:S hurt the 1.6 numbers there was always a lot of of players.

It's just that if it goes on a console it will probably be played more. The PC games with generally thousands of people playing them are only for PC or was released first.

Dude, as long as WOW still exsists then the PC games are far from dead, I don't play WOW but I hear all over about how many people are their its has more players than quite a few countries. ANd if you aren't a WOW type of guy then you can always play CS which I have to admit is a pretty awsome game, once I start playing I can't stop. Even though the console games are more talked about more and I play them more, I would still say that the Pc games are alive

Counter Strike is on the Xbox. I don't know how many people play it, though.

[Legionnaire-X]

Aaaaaand the OP has yet to post again.

[Noodleboy111]

I believe that everybody agrees that the OP is wrong.

[zimzap]

Statistically, console gaming is crushing PC gaming in terms of sales for just about every category besides MMORPGs (obviously).

[Grind]

Warcraft III

People still go on that game to advertise products and asks for people who have mod training.

[squidly]

[H-A-X-O-R-Z]

WoW
Runescape
CS
CSS (Yes, CS and CSS are different games)
TF2
TFC

[Zen444]

Online console retention is hilariously short.

[BrAddErZ958]

Battlefield Heroes - Its FREE. And it'll play on most crappy PCs. WHO WON'T BUY THIS GAME!?
CS;S - Tens of Thousands of users..
UT - Same as above.
Left 4 Dead - This will attract in lots of people.
Battlefield 2/2142 - Loads of people still play.

You just don't seem to be picking the right games thats all.

I agree.

The only game that is unpopulated as chernobyl is UT3.

[Some-Stupid-Idiot]

This weekend I'm getting the Orange Box mainly for Team Fortress 2. The game is amazing and It's simply beautiful.

I for one will not buy it. Why would I buy a free game? How does that make any sense?

Make sure you play Portal. It might be short, but it has some of the best sarcastic humor that I have seen.

[Grind]
