It's very rare mods have multiplayer communities that are even active when they come out.

In terms of "reviving dead multiplayer games". It's been tried and failed numerous times. The only thing you can really do is find a group of people who don't mind playing it semi-frequently.

Pic related is a good example. Tron 2.0 even has a huge mod that fixes the multiplayer. And yet they only really have one-two semi active servers that are only turned on on weekends because nobody comes in on weekdays.

That's what I mean, just something to play from time to time at scheduled dates which is what game night is for but game night has a waiting list and are usually played once a year.

...

I think the ideal solution is to just create a discord with different rooms for different games

One of the devs was a tranny who used debug commands to cheat, 4-way team games are a clusterfuck, it wasn't really going back to the old TF2 because it had some shit that wasn't in it, and the taste of AlphaBlaster will forever taint the memories of this if it ever tries to be revived.

That wouldn't work because everything would be spread too thin and one organized game night is enough, I also don't know how to host and if I could I wouldn't have the money or good connection.

YOu know an old ass game which the multiplayer never fucking dies?

Red Faction2

Any fucking time, there are people playing, its mind blowing

Just sayin'

Monaco. Its a really great coop game and needs an Alien Swarm treatment for some population boost.

Neotokyo.

Thank fucking god it's dead

...

>>>/tg/

Are you implying the game was always filled with clanfags and that they're just aren't autistically clinging onto the game.

As someone who still occasionally plays Opposing Force DM, I'm always up for playing with Holla Forums


They were probably bots, clans are completely dead in the game.

I also like playing OpFor from time to time because there's a server I like, but why the hell would you play it instead of HL:MP? You can even get OpFor's weapons in HL's servers if the server admin added them

Evolve

The Specialists. All that remains are a few roleplay servers, which is a huge shame because this game was rad as fuck.

Thank fucking god.

Dystopia, last I tried playing it there was only one server populated entirely by bronies.

there were only about 20 people playing this last time i played, and that was during a sale where it cost like 1$
so i'm guessing that it's dead by now
what a shame, it was fun

Was just about to post this.

The tranny in charge left the project last fall, thankfully.
The source code for the mod (and thus the TF2 2007 beta) is still available. Anyone could pick it up and fork it into their own thing.

I'm surprised an group have anons haven't taken shit into their own hands.
That's probably why.

Red Orchestra was killed off by Tripwire's server fuckery.


Pretty much this, sad cause Eternal Silence and Empires Mod would be up Holla Forums's street.


That mod was so much better than the trash that was released as a standalone.


RP'ers ruin everything.


Burn it to the ground.

Did AlphaBlaster host servers for other games?

From what I remember, he tried to host for a few things, but they didn't go so well for him and either the shit hit the fan first or he stopped the hosting before that happened. You know the rest of the story.

This mod was so much fun.

Neotokyo

10 servers left in the entire world

all of them are always empty

I wish this game got dead

they deserve it for the battleye forced malware bullshit

Kill yourself user.

No you kill yourself dumbass

It's sad, the last server for that game is run by an autistic German clan that autobans you if you have a VAC ban on steam and the forums (when not dead) are filled with madmins who will refuse to unban you.

NWI wasn't even a company until after the mod was almost dead, you retard
I bet you don't even know the drama about that kraut Endless stealing the mod and kicking Argyll and Jeremy out
beta 3 when

Only times you can get people to play with is if you play the PS3 version during the evening Japan time.

Was Virtua Fighter really ever popular outside maybe the arcade? I remember liking the PS2 one a lot.

VF2 was popular, VF4/VF4:Evo both got the greatest hits label so that's around 1 million sales combine and VF5 had a decent scene presence that eventually faded in the west.
VF5:FS is still extremely popular in japan though, there was more people to sign up for a recent tournament than people that signed up for SFV's arcade location tests.

That's a surprise, neat.

The best part was that the tourney prize was two big ass bags of rice and headphones since you can't do cash prizes for tourneys in japan.

Feels great. If you want to play it more often join the active players group, there's always an event announcement to get people in a server.

I GOT A CERTAIN GIRL SHES ON MY MIND
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT SHE LOOKS SO FINE

I don't have words to describe how retarded you are. I mean honestly you deserve a special award for being this retarded.

Are Day of Defeat and Ship dead?

the friday night scheduled matches makes it sadder honestly

lmao fuck off retard

Except it isn't the same fucking developer you retard. The dev team for Insurgency Mod are not the same as the Insurgency game. In fact Insurgency was stolen by NWI.
Or are you too fucking stupid to understand that publisher =/= developer?

See:

Friday night is the only moment when people are actually playing, don't act like it's some sort of secret.

What did the mod have over the standalone.
Have pics related.

wolfenstein: enemy territory
its dead in my country at least, but im p sure its alive in the us

False, in fact it was the mod team that stole the mod in the first place from the original creators.
2004
2007
2008
2009
2010
2011
I won't go through the rest, obviously the project shifts into desert-based modern war and blah blah blah Endless fades into obscurity, the mod loses it's players and dies off and NWI goes through the beta for Insurgency and turns it into a full fledged release.

It's hard to describe. It came along at the time when Source mod total conversions were big, you had Resistance and Liberation around the same time. The community was massive, there were lots of skilled people out there doing things literally for free (many of them got good resumes out of this time period). Really, the first game feels much more like a labor of love. Everything down to the textures feel like there was thought in their creation. It doesn't help that the new Insurgency standalone is chock FULL of modern gaming cancer, from ranked matchmaking to Steam Workshop to Twitch streamers. The old mod had none of that, partially beacuse none of it existed yet.
Just listen to this music, this is the menu music created in someone's spare time for a free mod. Nowadays this shit would be locked behind a paywall and you'd have to donate to the composer's patreon before he even writes a single bar.

Enemy Territory.

It's so fucking sad that Zenimax just doesnt give a fuck about one of the best mp fps games, but still jewing about the ip.

You know it's freeware right, what harm can Zenimax impose on it.

They still hold the ip and have no interest in releasing a successor or at least bring it on steam.
Splashdamage can't do anything when zenimax is saying NO

Like it would be good in the first place, see Doom 4's multiplayer and Quake Champions.
First off how dead is the game because if there're still a few servers that are semi-populated it'd be best that it stays off of Steam so the skill ceiling doesn't drop over night by a newfag influx being fueled by the wave of WW2 games coming out this year.

Yeah thats probably true. They would just put iron sights in (iron sights are a sign that the dev don't know shit about fps gaming) and "DUDE PANZERFAUST LMAO"

Well, there is going to be a LAN next month, they even collected a pricemoney of 3k for 6on6. But it's going to be the last LAN. I hope this game dies with dignity.

If they would do something similar to what lead to csgo I would be happy. Even UT and TF have had successors. ET is still ET after 14 years.


This is a huge problem in the ET community, since there is no competition besides the same old 12 teams, the skill is so high that newfags get rekt all the time. If the playerbase would be larger, noobs would have an interest to keep playing and become better. No one became a pro over night and this game similar to quake really requieres skill.

Sorry, 3k for the whole tournament.

I want to see Killzone 2 come back. Only way I can see it making a comeback is through a remaster for PS4.

Does anyone still play it?
I miss it dearly.

There's a gamenight for RO:OST coming up in a few weeks.

If anyone is really interested in reviving old games and playing with Holla Forums, I suggest checking >>>/radcorp/ The ones who host a gaming event every fortnight.

I do too.

At least that faggot got what was coming to him

I was saying he was trouble from Day fucking One too, the warning signs were all there. Hell just the fact that his profile was covered in Australium weapons should've been a huge red flag of just how big of a faggot he was, but everyone was so caught up in the "REMOVE DEGENERACY EXCEPT FOR OUR POZZED UP LEADER WHO'S OBSESSED WITH A YOUNG BOY XD" shit it was just dismissed

First 2 are literally dead, Sony pulled the plug on both but MAG was uncalled for and they could have ported that to the PC but for whatever reason they didn't it still fucking bruises

Best MP Zombie ever made, top 5 at least.

my negroid.

It's a god damn shame

...

Red Faction Guerrilla was fun as fuck.
I'm sure it's dead though.

outta the way, gookshit coming through

Don't be afraid to crosspost with Holla Forums more to advertise when you do stuff.

Finally the low polygon nightmare that is/was SoH

polite bump for accidental sage

that must be why it was $1
i got scammed didnt i?

Enough people still play this that you will probably never have issues finding a relatively full server during most parts of the day. However a lot of that is shit-taste servers like 24/7 heavy metal. The Vietnam expansion is mostly dead though.

There's even modded servers that are somehow allowed that have massive XP boosts to remove any time investment the unlock system involves. It's a real shame how fucking buggy they left the game with the final patch. I swear they released a patch to break a large number of the UI elements on purpose because I don't remember half of the issues I see with it now even back when it released.

Natural Selection, a HL1 mod that's a combination of FPS and RTS

revival when

.. If any anons have a PS3 and play the game Warhawk, then, let me know.

airrivals/ace online with strike vector combat would be amazing

This game really should come back.

A game so dead even I forgot about it.

I think you're just nostalgiafagging here, mate.
Twitch streaming is unavoidable and fucking no one plays ranked, and what's wrong with Steam Workshop? It's just something you can add new gun skins with, for me.

Man that game was a load of fun. Especially when you learned to handle your ship effectively so you could zoom through all the tight nooks and crannies (and get the satisfaction knowing that the dude chasing you is now a smoldering heap embedded in the scenery)

Dual-equipping any weapon was kind of overpowered though.

To be honest, it's too convienent. It's the fucking reddit of modding. I remember having to install shit manually and read tutorials and figure out what went where and in the process learned things myself about messing around in Source, now it's just one click gib skins pls.

yeah that was the best part,being corners going as fast as possible,zooming through the map gibbing everyone never slowing down

too bad autists killed it

Star Wars Battlefront on PS2 was great back in the day.

I remember playing HL:OF with Holla Forums a couple of years ago. It was fun to play with those bastards.

This, i don't understand how zombie panic could overcome this masterpiece of a mod.
This should have been the mod that prevailed in their competition, not the other shit.

To sum up the differences in a sentence. In the mod if you fire an AKM full auto while running, it will fly all over your screen and you will not hit the broadside of a barn.To elaborate, maps are not tight corridors with "No Go" zones and the mod is far more tactical.

Oh shit I remember the Opposing Force MP maps were fun as hell. Half Life deathmatch…bootcamp map. So many hours. Team Fortress Classic, till the newbs started running bhop scripts and killed the game. Been playing GTA Online for 2 years now, but the modders have cracked the backend and seized control from Rockstar, so GTA will be dead by Christmas. How about Tribes 1? Hell, bring them all back.

I really miss this one, one of the spookiest HL mods

best shit ever was spawning a million of the tank zombies before the humans opened up a door

Planetside 1 was a better game than 2 is, and 2 is probably the best it's ever been after being unspeakably shit for a LONG time. Fuck SOE, fuck John Smedley and fuck Matt Higby.

WISH WE COULD TURN BACK TIME
TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Planetside 2 came out and why support servers for a dying game when your new game came out and is more popular, from a business point of view it makes sense. I don't know anything about Planetside 1 aside that it was smaller and had an inventory system instead of classes but I don't think the game was very alive in 2014.

...

Is this your channel?

Do people still play BF1942, particularly Desert Combat? I'd love to dig that out again just to use the helicopters.

ya some of those are from old demos I re-recorded
i wish I had footage of more obscure mods from back then though

...

Assuming that that video takes place the same day it was released it must have an ounce of life left, and what's wrong with NS2.

haha

I miss this game even though it was like an 8/10. It's utterly dead now.

The last time I played this was 6 months back and there was just 20 guys from various parts of South America who played everyday I wonder if they still play.

Elaborate.

Obsidian conflict. It's basically like Sven co-op. I really wish there was someone I could play oc_harvest with

I honestly don't know how Red Faction isn't kicking. They even removed GFWL

According to steamcharts it's just as "alive" as GG Xrd. Take that for what you will.

Maybe it's my timezone, but I constantly fail to find any matches. Even hosting a match ends in disappointment.

RFG's MP wasn't particularly well liked even at the time. It's too little too late

I loved warhawk but someone stole all my ps3 games.

Strike Vector EX is coming to PC, just sayin'.

The shitty single-player campaign is coming to PC? Who cares?

What's wrong with you ? Did you crash during the tutorial ?

Goldsource games have such a charm to them. Thanks for sharing this, user.

...

None of these are arguments, try harder.
