I played it on xbox entirely singleplayer and i just remembered it existed. I never hear anyone mention it wondering if anyone actually played this game when it was out

I played it a bit back in the day. It would be great IP to revive for a modern FPS/RTS game with some hero/MOBA mechanics sprinkled in to make it appeal to a modern audience.
I really liked that it had no persistent perks/leveling mechanics iirc.

Progression systems are such a curse.
I think one of the core reasons Helldivers is having so much controversy is that it doesn’t really have them. Getting to level 20 and unlocking all the core stuff is mostly an extended tutorial and after that there’s just gameplay, and I don’t think a lot of people know how to handle that anymore.
The main issue helldivers has is that it’s just too samey. They’ve added new weapons in but nothing fundamentally changes gameplay much.
If instead of new weapons they were releasing new enemies and new maps that feel fundamentally different then they would have had a lot more player retention. Once you’ve done existing content enough times to level up you feel like you’ve seen/played it all (which you have).

I feel like I’ve played that game but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was. Might have been an unreal mod or something.

The release window was pretty rough. It was also a format of game geared more towards PC audiences and online only games just weren’t that popular at the time.
Brink more of the same but suffered severe technical issues. I really enjoyed it myself playing it offline for the most part.
Dirty bomb is perfect and idk why it even failed

I played it and I loved it, and I was very sad when they took it down. I had such a good time playing around with the different vehicles and classes, thr art design of everything was so much fun. I have many voice lines burned into my memory. MCP disabled, repair our MCP. MCP repaired.
STROGG, STROGG HRGGHRGL
Did you know this was a kind of sequel to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory?
Because I didn’t until now, even though I vaguely remembered two different games with “Enemy Territory” in the name existing.
Yeah I knew that. I never played Wolfenstein enemy territory back when it came out but I remember it had quite a dedicated fanbase
You can still play it, there’s like a dozen servers with more than 10 players right now as I post this (highest one has 44 players)
Pretty good for a 21 year old game
Wolf ET was great

I rather enjoyed it even with bots. Very much a kinda reskin of battlefield 2 with shiny 360 era graphics and some orbital strikes for good measure.
I think its still got people playing online with community servers. Haven’t tried playing on them though

It’s so sad when a niche multiplayer game with cool ideas just dies for lack of a playerbase. There’s so much art and beauty out there on forgotten hard drives and CDs that no one will ever enjoy again. It’s not simply enough to turn it on, boot it up. You need to populate a server. You need players who understand the systems and technqiues. you have to spend time with it. Games really are different from anything that has come before them in so many ways.

I did. I vaguely remember it being fun. It was removed entirely from steam ages and ages and ages ago.
Yes! I played it online and it was so fun. I also never hear anyone mention (to the point of wondering if playing it was just a dream)
I loved how the strogg could convert between health and ammo, really interesting mechanic to have in your pocket. Also the artillery classes were super cool.
I wish I had the opportunity to play Quake Wars when it came out as I played the shit out of RTCW multiplayer and Enemy Territory but never had the money to get a new PC/consoles then.
I played the absolute fucking shit out of this and Battlefield 2 on PC multiplayer back when it came out. They truly dont make em like that anymore
I did, and it’s pretty cool tbh.
I’ve only ever played wolfenstein et
This and Wolfenstein enemy territory were great. I loved the levelling up in the match. Played the absolute shit out of these
