Battlefield is the correct answer. Games are about having fun, not people yelling n00b in your ear or pwnz0ring you with their 1337 sk1llz. Halo does have better vehicle physics though. Battlefield with Halo-physics would be awesomecake.

Future candidates: Crysis, Left 4 Dead.

Counter Strike remains the undisputed king at this point, between those two I'd go with Halo though.

Out of the choices provided UT. UT is just more entertaining in the multiplayer department. This superior entertainment probably has something to do with the fact that the primary focus in UT is the multiplayer. If you broadened the choices to all online shooters then I would not say that UT is the King.

UT.

The franchise has more multiplayer variety than any game listed in this thread. Halo 1 multiplayer was pretty good, but not of UT calibur. Halo 2's multiplayer, on the other hand, is trash. Mainly due to poor balancing. Cite all the awards you want to..UT2004 was far superior to Halo 2 in the multiplayer department.

Counter Strike for challenge, Joint Ops Typhoon Rising for its scale of warfare. Halo 2 is the most ''fun'' I've had in an online FPS and I've never been interested in UT (too chaotic). Looking back I actually preferred Return To Castle Wolfenstien's online play to Halo 2's.

Well I certainly don't play online for any happy clappy ''fun'' nonsense. I play for the challenge of real opponents not artificial enemies. I'm not one to ''L337'' speak either.

50,000? That's nothing... you even have statistical proof? I do...

Counter Strike:

Players online right now: 234,512
Player minutes (average) per month: 7.818 billion (14,874 years)

Personally I find the lack of choices insulting where is counter strike ??

However of those two unreal is the logical choice, halo is fun but it's not on the level of unrealimo.

oh dude they must have the final judgement on all games, it MUST be a better game! not, UT owns Halo so badly, I wonder if hardcore Halo fans have ever played it. UT has the fast action game play that I love. I found Halo way too slow for my liking.

In my opinion, it's always been Quake. The series may not be that great presently, but that dosen't stop me from enjoying Quake 1-2-3 online more than UT2k4.

Now, I play CoD:UO, Serious Sam CO-OP and Counter-Strike: Source.

Although, UT is the king of mods. Well co-king with Half-Life and Thief 2.

Looking at it Halo won multiplayer game of the year when it went up against UT. If UT was that great it would of beaten it.

Don't like either multiplayers but i'd go with Halo, just cause the elitisem around UT is annoying..although the fanboyism around Halo is pretty poor at times to.

Halo got MP goty because it was the first online console game that shined, wheras UT, was simply the same mp formula improved.

Sure H2 was more deserving, beacuse of its position as the first great console online game, but UT04 is most defitnaly better..............

Hell unlike Halo 2, it had virtually NO single player, and managed a 9.4...

Ha UT Eliteism is nothing compared to Halo elitism....... Or the general people on XBL. Hell I know, I played both Halo 2 and UT04 online...... THough I still only play UT online.

Hell after 3 years UT04 also holds up much better.....

On the PC, I'd say Halo for LAN games is more fun. For online, Unreal is much better than Halo.

But I still play Wolf:ET more than both after all these years...

Wrong, Halo 2 won because it brought a new multiplayer era to the consoles, take it from someone whos played both, Halo 1 online was better than Halo 2 ... but consolites didnt get that right?

soemthignt hat mainstreams online to the consoles ... over UT2004 , which at the end of the day was jsut a huge revamp/game mode/vehicles addition to UT2003 ... it got marked down for not doing that in the first place.

This is no indication of which is better.
