Well, the obvious choice is Halo 3. Although many of the core gameplay elements have remained the same throughout the series, Halo 3 imporved upon many of them. For one thing, the added equipment pick-ups add a bit of strategy to the gameplay, and I appreciated their inclusion in both the campaign and live modes. I also thought that the weapons were very well-balanced compared to Halo 2: they made the needler stronger, the battle rifle weaker, and the sniper a bit slower. Unless Unreal III really has something awesome in store for us, I think that Halo 3 will surely take multiplayer game of the year.

Halo3 sold a zillion copies so I don't see how they wouldn't win this. I personaly would pick Gears of War(PC). Maybe COD4 has a chance, have heard nothing but high praises about it.

Halo 3, just because of the sheer size of the community. There is never a time when you can't get a good game going. However I would put WiC in a close second due to the amazing potential in a well coordinated game.

Halo 3 for now, but UT 3 and COD 4 will give it a run for it's money.

TF2. U3 feels very, very much like '04 with enhanced graphics. I couldn't pick out a single thing to distiguish is from 04 other than graphics. TF2 otoh has a really fresh, original feel and the focus on classes, and balance between, makes it play differently than most any other game.

But a sizeable demo is, and when it comes to a multi-player focused game, it's a good indication of how the game is going to turn out. General map design, weapon and vehicle balance, game types, character and weapon models; am I leaving anything out that can give us a good indication of how the final version will turn out? Maybe you can tell me what revolution will be in the final realease besides more maps and models that will make it play significantly different.

Halo 3 I think. The number of people playing multiplayer at any one time never fails to blow me away. I think CoD4 would have to do something special to beat it before the year's out.

Well right now I would definately say Halo 3. There is simply so much goodness to be had in the multilayer. You can hop into the team based games and whenever you run into those that you play well with you can form up a group and stick together as you move from match to match. I love the video replay feature. It's very cool with nice controls to manuever throughout the map and the entire match to capture any moment in the match you want to whether it be the video of the whole match, certain clips of the match, or just some still shots. The Forge sounds very awesome as well although I haven't even gotten around to trying it out.

Team Fortress 2 for sure, to the people saying Halo 3, have you even played any PC shooters online?? Come on... Halo 3 is slightly entertaining but there's no magic to it. The entire game seems outdated and the multiplayer system should've been totally revamped. It's nothing new, it's nothing special. TF2 is where the magic is at.
