yeah it's simply titled MAG lol. actually personally i think just about any MP game is better than halo. the ONLY 1up halo has is the whole recording the whole match thing; thats pretty cool.

I agree that Halo leaves a lot to be desired, but it's nice knowing that even now there are thousands of people playing Halo 3 MP. With a lot of games, people only play MP until the next big game comes out. It'd be nice to have a dominant game that PSN users can naturally gravitate toward

MAG seem to require a little more brain power then the run and gun, tea bag fest that is Halo, so i dont think it will have as wide of appeal; Anyways Halo is the old king, COD4 and is evil offspring are the new MP giants, and unfortunately i don't think anything Sony is cooking up atm can overpower it.

COD would be fine if they weren't constantly putting out new games. Kinda forces you to buy them if you're into MP though, which I suppose is the whole idea.

Yeah CoD4 seems to be the dominant multiplayer games, and it will be replaced by MW2, and maybe MAG if its good enough.

well i guess what i'm saying is that the quantity is part of the problem. there are lots of *good* games, and even some great ones. in spite of (or maybe by virtue of) that, no one game dominates the multiplayer realm.

pretty much any exclusive that goes online dominates, when MAG comes around, it will blow over what we already consider to be big, and thats about 32 or 64 i think?

I think the PS3 could have the best multiplayer game ever created if they wanted to. Personally resistance 2 comes close but not close enough to compare with halo 3. Ive been a ps user for a while and Im hoping they come out with something INSANE for PS3 multiplayer.

When one game on console dominates, you're left with no choices. When you have the library to chose from, everyone will find something to enjoy.

Resistance 2? Socom: Confrontation? Killzone 2? MGO Online?You may not liked those titles but the fact remains many people always play them 24/7.

Those are just exclusives now, MAG will be something a lot of FPS gamers who play online a lot will enjoy quite a bit.

I got nothing against Halo but after playing it for few months, it's nothing more then average FPS game with barely 16 players online.

I found Socom: Confrontation to be more enjoyable then cartoony look of Halo but I can see how it appeal to majority of teens.

PS3 has many dominant online multiplayer games, the trick is it's never going to be one but quantity and quality and stop listening to brainwashing media. ;)

Heres a fun Fact Half Life is still currently the most played Multiplayer Online game (not MMO) today, it survives due to its numerous mods and other stuff...

That's true but that would be on PC which I absolutely agree with.

On consoles however, it's a different story, I have a good feeling MAG will change that.

It won't. It'll just be 250 people shooting randomly without any strategy and tea-bagging each other.

Never really understood why people love Halo. I always saw it as a kind of UT rip-off in a way.

I don't want a dominant multiplayer game. It's good that we have people who like different games. It sucks that hot shots had no players because that game was cool.

Warhawk, Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 all have very strong online players. Killzone 2 always has a lot of full games, and Warhawk after 2 years still has a lot of people playing so yes they do have a dominant multiplayer game, and people stop saying MAG because it's not out yet so you can't even say it will be a dominant game.

No way...

Anyway, Halo's a good game, but it isn't as good as a lot of people make it out to be. Personally, I think COD4 was 10x the game Halo 3 was, and 5x the game Halo 2 was. As much as people want to nitpick about it, I really don't see what people have against Killzone 2.

If the online worked like it should then Fat Princess would easily be the dominant multi-player game. Seriously, how can people hate it after trying it? Oh I almost forgot, it requires teamwork, nevermind.

I agree with others that say the PS3 doesn't need a dominant multiplayer game but I think Uncharted 2 will probably have a good shot at it. And if there is no online in the third game then that will make Uncharted 2 online last a lot longer.

PS3 does have quality dominant multiplayer games KZ2, Resistance 2.. KZ2 and Resistance 2 are great games.. I traded R2, because I finished the campaign, completed the coop intel and the online didnt appeal to me.. I will probably pick up R2 again when it gets cheaper

What? I never heard of that. If so the game will probably get better ratings because it won't have hype against it.

Fat princess is a pretty good multiplayer game, and what about warhawk...
