Astounding Multiplayer Moments

Is there still a community for Burnout Paradise on PC I wonder?

Playing on Xbox with loads of NGamer folk in a chat party was pretty great. Made single player gaming feel a bit more special too.

Anyone have any crowning moments of awesome playing multiplayer? I always remember the time playing Call of Duty 4's search and destroy gamemode when my team was wiped out, leaving me alone to take on the entire enemy team. The increasing yells of excitement from my teammates as I took down more and more of the enemy team was amazing, and the roar of joy as I won the round and the match for us was even better.

I don't think there's much of one. They never bothered releasing the last DLC on PC. On top of that, the store for the rest of the DLC closed ages ago.

"super pad"

FUCK YES.

I bought a GameCube version of the Super Pad, and always gave it to the same mate whenever we had multiplayer sessions. Even if the Wavebird was available, he'd always get the Super Pad. I'm sure the left input on the joystick only worked occasionally. We rechristened it "The Jamie Pad", with his name Tippex'ed on it and everything.

:lol:brilliant! Did the cube super pad feel as bad as the n64 one?

I mentioned this chap in the best/worst bosses thread but I think it fits well for this thread as well also I don't think I'll ever forget it, his name? Humpty & he helped me slay the most notorious boss in dark souls.
He distracted Ornstein while I could focus on Smough with my lightning spear, any time I caught a glance of Humpty he was just toying with Ornstein with dodges until I was done with my part which took a good few minutes but with Smough dispatched the second phase started & we both charged the now giant Ornstein, me with my fire claymore in hand as we repeatedly hacked away at his legs.

Humpty you are a legend!

My 10-0 run of wins on Animal Crossing Sweet Day as the catcher, I'm the only one of my friends who can actually manage to control both the knife and fork at the same time.

Winning a multiplayer league on PES after salvaging a point in the final game with a late late goal.

An epic 5 set doubles game of Mario Power Tennis in which my team came back from the being match point down without a set won to eventually getting it to a tie breaker in the final set, only to lose out thanks a massive rally on the final match point.

That's all I can remember specifically but I've experienced plenty of great games of Mario Kart, WWE, Mario Party, Wii Sports, Wario Ware, Smash Bros and Bomberman among others.

I remember playing Bomberman Blast online with fronkhead, SolveMyMaze, and - oof - a3HeadedMonkey several years ago. I think I played with other folks too but I just can't remember who was who. Lots of fun playing it for hours at a time.

I've yet to try Dark Souls's co-op multiplayer, as the NPC summons have carried me through the difficult boss fights, but that sounds great.   

Somehow forgot the co-op gaming I've done in my time, which included beating Four Swords Adventures on the GameCube with a couple of uni mates, and slogging most of the way through a Crystal Chronicles title with the same pair. I mostly carried the pot thing around. I also played a memorable session of the DSiWare Four Swords with a few StreetPass Manchester guys. We did well, although our game took ages.

Co-op gaming is fantastic when it's done right. I just remembered the fact that I played through the entirety of Gears of War 2 on its hardest difficulty with someone from the Old Place, but I can't for the life of me remember who it was. Maybe grf? Anyway, I do remember it being an intense and tactical playthrough, and it was so satisfying once we beat it.

It really is & it can turn the tide if someone invades you but I've only seen that happen on a youtube playthrough I've been watching.

I really haven't scratched the surface of dark souls yet
I'm getting near the end of my list of stuff to complete though so before I do my metal gear marathon I'll properly throw myself into souls, read the wikis and stuff, give it a real stab.

The first go of Wario Ware I had, several years ago, was multiplayer with my family. It's so much better when no-one knows what to expect.

GAME: "Get 5"
DAD: "Get 5 what?"

Perhaps my favourite ever co-op game was Conflict Desert Storm, you really need to rely on your squad as each character has their own plus points, made for some real tense moments.

YES! That game was brilliant!

Today not Astounding but fun though on Titanfall was playing the new maps which dropped    today and was on the hard-point mode which you have to capture A, B, C. I kept going to C so did this other guy from the other team the two of us used the same tactic chuck in a grenade run in kill then sit in the corner and pick of any grunts or other pilots and this just repeated. It was like we had are own little game who could last longest before getting killed by the other, we both ended up top of are teams by quite a bit but mine lost though.

I did nearly message him and say good game like you do but I forgot his name.
