Warcraft 3.

Guild Wars RIP Cantha.

bot hosted games killed wc3
it would've been fine, maybe even as long as until this very day, if not for the damn bot hosted games

Chromehounds

Mount & Blade: Warband, and Napoleonic Wars

Butterlord needs to happen soon

RIP my Kurzick bros

Halo CE, all the lobbies are cancer with shitty options and most of the players are BRs and spics. I wish I had better upload speeds so I could host 16 player games for Sup Forums.

CSGO

Wolfenstien ET
Running with Rifles
Payday 1

>running with rifles
dead on arrival

Bioshock 2, the multiplayer is fun as fuck but i cant play capture the sister since no players.

Bad Company 2, the last EA game that I've played that wasn't completely shit and/or overridden by dlc

I kickstarted the sequel and cried when it didn't get funded.

I guess that's because EA has become a bad company, too.

Every game in existence that isnt a blizzard game, dota game, or csgo.

online is fucking dead and its not coming back unless you have shit taste

...

Platform Racing 2/3 was the shit back then. They died long ago though.

????

the game is as dead as the first one atm tho

Guilty gear xrd revelaror

Hey that's enough to fill like 60+ lobbies so not like EDF is truly is ded with like only 3 active lobbies

Battlefield 2142 and Planetside 2

if you're talking about pop, ps2 is not dead, yeah lower pop but not dead yet.

if you're talking about quality of pop then yes, its cancer

I'm hoping the steam sale will breath new life into it again. Pricing it at $50 probably scared some people away.

Trove

Fucking RIP.
jews ruined another game

Guild Wars used to be so populated... Everything that glitters fades away.

ps2 hasn't had a new influx of players in a while. once people settle into a playstyle, they typically do not create fun fights and so now all the fights are shit and everyone just tries to cheese.

WoW
Ragnarok Online
Jedi Academy
AvP 2
all those friends i used to hotseat with when I was young

SWG

Wish it didn't go, now we have that heap of shit TOR

...

I miss MGO2. Those last few days hosting Sup Forums lobbies were a ton of fun. Why does MGO3 have to be so bad?

Fuck you PWE. Fuck you.

RIP

planetside 2 deserves death faggot

bring back planetside 1

>Playing on The Specialists RP servers as a kid and when you finally get a gun you go on a shooting spree

Those were the days.

Exteel

Day of Defeat Source

Online communities just seem to die so fast nowadays. Gone are the days where you had to play the same game for months before you could get a new one.

Warhammer Online, Despite it's flaws and what it could have been if ONLY EA--GAY had waited three more months or so.

Battlestar Galactica Online

regnum online

U stupid faggots come into this thread and post your shitty dead korean f2p mmo games like im supposed to care? NAH dude the only thing wrong here is ur shit taste didnt die w/ the game

go back to your overwatch thread, retard

>senran kagura
the first 2 games were actually pretty solid beat em ups tho

I cry evertiem

>post your shitty dead korean f2p mmo games
Almost none of those in this thread until your retarded ass posted here.

This. MGO2 actually felt Metal Geary

Rift

what about years

thankfully TF2 seems to be chugging along

>DAoC
F

This game actually broke my last computer

>gw2 will never bring bestprovince back
why live

lol, why do kmmo fags hate overwatch so much? because its making waifu worship mainstream?

>gw2 will never bring bestprovince back
Why would you want that, you'd still be playing GW2.

I spent $50 on it, I want something bearable so I can pick it up again.

I'd kill to just have one more day with this game.

Sad it went the way it did, but now it's gone forever.

CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES

It hurts ;_;

Are you joking this (literally) dumbed down shit was the beginning of the end for battlefield.

Realm of the Mad God
Jesus,i used to love this god damn game,played 3-4 hours everyday for about four years,until i decided that the community was getting too P2W and decided to leave.
I gave my account away to this rando who made a joke
pic related,it's what he changed my bio to after i gave it to him
>so many feels

>game had bots
>games online dies
>those bots are still Fighting to this very day in empty servers

runescape from the grand exchange onward

If anything BC2 was the beginning of the end, or if gear treadmills really upset you, 2142.

BFHeroes was practically more its own thing. Shame EA went full jew on it.

>grouping VH in with that kusoge
Get outta my face, pleb. VH is unironically a better video game than all that shit.

Oh lors that brings back memories..I remember it being a piece of shit with timed equilment but it was fun anyway.

selecting things in menus and jacking off is not gameplay.

>TF2 seems to be chugging along
Almost all of the original playerbase is gone, though, it's hardly the game it once was.
All my favorite community servers, forever empty ;_;

>using the debugger
Pleb spotted.

>kusoge

Wtf? you speakin greek? pic related... plz

Someone actually put in the effort to make that image. That is one sad existence.

First post hurts the most

>tfw I considered making a private server and open it on weekends to Sup Forums for some k-style fuckery every now and then. Maybe toss in some custom maps or some shit.
>tfw I couldn't understand what needed to be done even after an evening of intense googling and forum searching
And now I don't even have the disposable income to actually pay for a server. One day, Sup Forums. One day.

It wouldn't be if the devs bothered to add anything other than new rare guns with a 0.01% chance to drop.

Kusoge is officially sanctioned meme-speak kid, if you cant speak in fluent memes, then... hehe... I guess u can haz the door outta here.

The Specialists mod from Half-life. God that game was so fun and different and way ahead of its time. I hope they do a re-boot of it. Nothing beats the feeling of running out of ammo, and to even the fight running in and successfully kicking your opponent's weapon out of his hand, turning the battle into a hand-to-hand duel and winning it.

almost as sad as playing weeb titty games and getting upset about it

youtube.com/watch?v=bKJSC_mteIg

The bitter taste is made far worse by what they did to the legacy of Guild Wars with its successor.

A Japanese term that literally means 'shit game'.

Vindictus :(

Already dead
>vermintide

It could be so easy to get people to play it again
>fix bugs
>put in more maps
>tweak the loot system (more rewarding high difficulty, less luck based)
>give mod support

>Multiplayer focused game.
>Is absolutely great and enjoy every minute of it.
>Still has players.
>Abandon it prematurely knowing it'll die anyway because it isn't a AAA game.

I don't know why devs keep making multiplayer-only games. The death knell has already sounded before the game has even finished development.

True. If someone actually gets upset at that there is something wrong with them just like with the creator and poster of the image.

Your own fault for buying a fatshark game.

All there games have no depth and thus die in a week. Vermintide lasted two cause of the grinding but even that wasnt enough.

What can we do to preserve these games? How do we keep them alive?

Blade Symphony
>tfw made it to top 1% worldwide before it died

blur

make it illegal to play dotaclones

Europe Maplestory

>>tfw made it to top 1% worldwide before it died

a long road to the top when there was like 20 total regular players

what did you think of saders obsession with his waifu pure and him being in charge of balance and buffing her

Wolf ET

but still servers left with players 13 years later :^)

Impossible option: Remove the current top of the food chain (MOBAs, character shooters) somehow. Everyone will filter back down to everything else.

More plausible option, still slightly impossible: Remove the focus on creating whale-based games that depend on 5% of the playerbase dropping literal house payments worth of cash on the game constantly to maintain profits. Find another method of funding server and staff costs like selling in-game advertisement spots to real life companies. Monster Energy Green Chocobos, anyone?

Sad reality: F2P games that don't become a Korean obsession or South American infestation are doomed to die eventually because the people making them don't have the money to throw around to maintain upkeep because they will ALWAYS be under expectations in terms of return of investments. In the mean time, they will try to cash out as hard as they can on people who cannot resist the siren call of cash shops.

Grim Dawn. The game could have had a lot more online functionality but devs are not focusing on it. I know it isn't a game made to compete with PoE but it's a shame there is no proper pvp mode, economy or other coop modes.

Clonk Rage
Years of having a small but consistent playerbase until it slowly decayed. Now there's like 10 people playing if you're lucky.

Tf2

PvP modes never really work on games like that.

Heavy Gear 2

>what is diablo 2

Unbalanced mess

get better at builds nub
