maybe he was referring to Brood Wars expansion? Anyhow, I put PlanetSide because there has been no other online game that has kept my attention for so long (almost a YEAR now...!)

What? No UT or Bf:V?
Well, my vote is a tie between the Unreal Tournament series and Ultima Online. All the UT games were great fun to play online and still are. As for UO, I played it almost from the beginning, and it was great to see it grow and develop into a well-established, albeit antiquated, game.
No tribes, for shame!
I've played tribes 1 and 2 longer than anyother game I've ever owned. My vote goes to "Other" then.
Starsiege: Tribes, the conceptual father of Planetside, UT2k4, BF:1942 and an incredible game to boot.

There are only 3 warcraft games. WoW is a completely different game in the Warcraft universe.

I loved playing UO untill they killed it.
No, there are four.
WC I
WC II
WC III
WC III:The frozen Throne

Well most would consider WC III:The frozen Throne and epack. Not a new game.

I didn't know Doom was online...
UT and Tribes held it for ever. But i choosed PS cause.....its FPS and MMO game, fuck 32 people per servers.
but soon Halo2 will own multiplayer. (we are talking all consols right?)
You can have 128 now.
For what game?

Agreed. I left for a week and came back finding all sorts of weird crap from a patch. Screwed up damage, for one thing. I used to be able to tackle demons with relative ease, then the patch never let me step within ten feet of a demon before dying instantly. Waited for a while, thinking that they would fix it. Then I learned that they weren't going to, since they didn't think it needed fixing in the first place. :mad:

when i said SC2 i meant brood war, didnt have enough slots for all the games.
No, Tribes 2. If you had the game you could go play. And if you new what you were talking about then you would know that admins are no longer needed in T2.

I'm sorry but I don't quiet get what you're talking about? I just asked what game where you're talking about that could handle 128 players on one server. I said nothing about admins. Plus what do you mean that T2 no longer needs admins? :confused:
I was responding to Dahrkbayne with that. T2 no longer needs admins. Now that it is free, there will be no more updates or changes of any kind. There are no glitches left to find, and since T2 allows custom scripts there is no real threat of hacks. This is the same thing that happened with Tribes 1.
Edit: Tribes 2 used to have a limit of 64 people in one server, now you can have 128.

You still need admins, there are still exploiters/cheats, and still TKing asshats. You always need an admin. Always.

Do you mean server admins?
Yes. Tribes 2 has become like BF 1942. There are really no limits on the in game play. There are several hacked versions of T2 available that let you see through walls and such. The only thing that is monitored anymore is the status of the actual servers.
Edit: BTW you can't TK in any of the T2 mods, they had to put a stop to that with the addition of nukes.

Given the choices Ima have to go with CS. sure there are better games out now but for like the past what 3-4 years it was king. no game has taken more time from me than that. no game have i had more fun with. CS all the way. and as soon as HL2 gets here it will be king again.

That's way I never played any mods in T2. They all pretty much sucked in my opinion.
Wha??!! The War2003 mod is one of the best mods ever made. You should really give the mods a try.
Edit: Mods are different than cracked versions

In order.
1. Ultima Online
2. Tribes
3. Age of Empires 2
Best single player game is Xcom. Period.

whoa infernus you played EnB?!
I entered the beta for that game in Phase 3, (December of 2001) and played it all the way until release (Sept. 2002). By that time I'd beaten just about every mission, every mob, had played almost every race, and most of them averaged around Rank 120 (I think my highest was 134, I never bothered to max him out). I was one of the more powerful characters on the server to be sure. Used to go hunting with a group of Devs in Nifelheim, one of the coolest experiences I've ever had in a game. (Nothing beats having a dev insta-kill a nasty mob whos causing you trouble! :) ) I also was 3rd in command of UPATE guild, which had around 300 or so members at one point I believe. It was pretty nuts.
Anyhow, I agree, EnB is an amazing MMORPG. I pretty much stopped playing it after release (nothing left for me to do, patches too few and far between), and it saddened me when EA hired new staff :( The Westwood Dev team really rocks, such a nice group of people who not only did their best to make the players happy, but really loved to get into those servers and game as well! Great game, a pity its being shut down...

Man i'm gonna d/l that bigass patch now.
It's not a patch. It's in the War2003 mod for Tribes 2. Just set the rules for a filter to War2003 and you will get a list of about 30 servers running it. It's up the the host to choose a 128 person limit though.
Edit: Dahrkbayne, if you don't play Tribes 2, then shut the hell up. War2003 is a MOD for Tribes 2. It's simple.
He's saying that he's going to download the patch to play cause he didn't realize T2 could handle 64 to 128 players.

I don't mean to be 'mean'. But this was the wrong place to post this, or maybe just your options.
You included PlanetSide as a choice on a 'PlanetSide' website, what do you think people will be biased to choose?

Total Annihilation is the best RTS ever made, fucking awesome fun game. UT99 is the best FPS not counting Descent (best 1st Person shooter type game ever). But from the list, CS.

It's high up on most people's lists, probably, but there's always one or two that are slightly better.
And FraudulentBob, if you've noticed anything about people in the lounge, one of the things is that most of us don't play Planetside. We may have at one point, but not now. Probably some Game Disscussion people came in and voted for PS.

If you liked EnB you might like JumpGate. It's an older game that doesn't have a large number of players but. The players that do play are great people (Basically compare it to the people here) You got some fighter jocks that do nothing but PvP http://www.floppy.org.uk/play/jumpgate/chiropteran.png Here was my ship and some carebears that do nothing but help out the rookies and haul cargo. Then there are the loners that fly into deep space mining asteroids or hunting down artifacts (Things that make your ship better and can prove to be very lucrative). I heard some of the EnB players are moving over there.
3 factions and 16 ships per faction and 48 altogether and talk about a 4th faction (Last I heard anyway) your ships go from small shuttle craft (What you start in) to massive Freighters http://www.jossh.com/terminal_IE.html (click on database on the left side of the screen then click on single pilots vessels) I finally quit after a year and half of play because my squad left (to play planetside). I do plan to go back someday Anyway here is the offical site www.jossh.com/ and www.jumpgateweb.com JGweb was at one time what this site is but with the lack of players. The Of is the only one used now.

Beta tested but didn't get to play it cause my computer at the time was a P.O.S.
