So I've been an avid gamer for years.

I was one of the first people to play angry birds I had an old sega back when i was a kid, had the special Hey You Pikachu n64, ps2, 360, almost every game boy, and most recently, a pc gamer

The rising popularity of multiplayer games just shows that people love games with other people.

So I'm here to ask what is the best multiplayer game of all time?

Sure, you have games that are more or less "arcade" style like COD online, no depth, just a fun shoot-em-up.
Then you have your hardcore gamers on counter-strike etc, online games with campaign co-op like borderlands. Anyway, whats your favorite Online multiplayer game?

I'll start with mine:

DOTA 2 (Defense Of The Ancients 2)

This game is made by valve (makers of the best games in the world like the Half life series, Team fortress, Portal, Counter Strike, Left for dead, the list goes on).

I was skeptical when my buddies wanted me to play dota because it was a game with an isometric camera angle (not quite top down, but like a diablo or warcraft/starcraft feel) and is considered a "moba" massive online battle arena. I hadn't played Dota 1 (not made by valve) so I was concerned.

Anyway, I played, and I've been hooked ever since. I've played every day with my friends for months, and it never gets old.

Essentially, if you've ever heard of that little league of legends game, its like that but an actual AAA title. Its got sick graphics that can run on almost any pc (valve's known for their optimizations). There's over 100 heros, and its easily the one of the most deep games of all time

Best of all its on steam and its FREE. If you like league of legends, you'll LOVE this game, because its similar in gameplay but improves on every single element. It looks better, the gameplay is more varied, and everything.

In my opinion the best multiplayer out there is Counter Strike Go.
And the best single player story is The Last of us.

1) I'm loving the valve love here. Counterstrike was essentiallyt the forefather for EVERY MULTIPLAYER WAR GAME

2) Story wise perhaps. I only watched 20 minutes of the first part of the game and was almost in tears. But game wise? Maybe not. Didn't wow me in terms of gameplay, I'd go with portal 2 or Half life 2.

Halo 3. 4's really amazing too.

Meh. Feels way too cartoony and not as fast paced as it should be. One thing fun about cod and battlefield is the bullet travel time is almost instant and it takes 3 or so hits to die. It feels very tactical.

Halo, bullets travel slow, people jump 20 feet and it takes a million shots to kill someone. Thats just me. Dota still stomps neg diff

l0l you clearly haven't played Halo. It's hit scan (Halo Reach & H2), so it "instant" instead of COD/battlefield's "almost instant" travel time for bullet. Even H3, you had to lead your shots instead of spamming mindlessly in COD. Nothing about COD is tactical or takes skill, you can literally run around with your gun and just spray at your enemy. Halo requires skill because the efficient way to kill your opponent quickly (w/o using power weapons) is to aim for the head (4 shots in H3). You're punished in Halo for running around the enemy's side, assuming your opponents are experienced and aren't noobs. (unless you're playing free for all)

I like the Battlefields multiplayer games,and Dead Island.
And I might get into Minecraft for the ps4,once it release.

Battlefield is a fun game with all the random moments and ways you can kill other players. For me it's hard to get upset over the bs you may run into cause the fun/random moments makes it enjoyable unlike cod in my opinion.

Dead island I just enjoy fighting zombies with other players and showing off the cool items you create.

That's about it. Not that many multiplayer games I like to play.
More into single player games like Fallout new Vegas,etc.

Best online multiplayer is either GTA 5 or COD MW2

Best multiplayer game period is Super Smash Bros. Melee

Different tastes. Everything you said I love about it.

I'm stuck in a bucket.
