I played Quake 2 MP for about a million hours online. Then I played Quake 3 MP for about two million hours. But, by far the most addictive multiplayer game for me has been: Empire Earth.

Other on-line games that have consumed a significant portion of my expendable time include:

RTCW
Battlefield 1942.
Red Faction

Serious Sam is really fun. Any of the rainbow six games are great too if you want more strategy and planning.

Age of Empires provided tons of fun as well.

I love Operation Flashpoint and OFP: Resistance. They are always the first games I install after a format, and the ones I first go to when opening Gamespy. I love them. They just refuse to get old, like some games.

Tribes 1 & 2... played those more than any other game with the possible exception of Everquest.

My current favorite is BF 1942... it's even better on the new machine I just built. :smile:

You know, I love the concept of Tribes, but when I bought it back in the day, I think my system was too weak, so I never got into it. It ran like a dog. I probably would've liked it if my system was up-to-snuff.

I like BF1942 also, but it bugs me that it takes my system three or four minutes to cycle between levels. I mean, it REALLY bugs me to the point where I can't play it very long. I even have 512 megs of RAM, but I think the problem is my hard-drive is just too full, and BF1942 is on the outer edge of the disk. I dunno, it plays fine once the level loads, but waiting for the level to load is a biatch.

Anyone here ever play a game called Overkill, from back in the BBS days? If you're under the age of 30, you probably have NOOO idea what I'm talking about.

Anyway, I've always hoped someone would come out with a modern version of that game...or something close to it.

Yeah TRibes is another great MP game. I actually bought it after it got played out at WalMart for like 9.99 and went out and bought the Tribes 2 about 2 weeks later. Great concept.

there's more than one game named overkill, the one that comes to mind right now was a top-down, vertical scolling arcade plane game.

Bleh, tribes1 was great, tribes 2 i didn't find near as fun.

I've been beta-testing planetside for some time now, you should definately check that one out.

I agree, the later version was a good try, but it couldn't touch 1.0

playing with Death's Head and hot napalm was always fun

It's all good ^_^

Anyone ever play Day of Defeat. This was before Beta3 when they slowed everything down. I used to play that game for hours on end. I forgot to mention it but I loved it more than BF1942, MOH, and RTCW. And it was freeware.
