Forgotten Multiplayer Games that are still playable

[VodkaEnergee]

There may be some games that are Forgotten, but are still fun or interesting to play. Though most may not know about it. Maybe it'll help people to discover older games to play, just for a different experience since most may feel that, there isn't much out there now. What are some that you all know? I know people would probably be interested in finding new homies, or folk to play with. It doesn't have to be just PC Games.

Nerdslayer has a whole series on dead or dying games and will share usually if they have come back online via the community. Some that have died that I don't recall if they ever came back: gunz, archlord. I think combat arms is still up and I recently tried .hack//fragment. I wish the process of getting back into revived games was less involved, but its nice not having the worst the Internet and modern times has to offer in your video games.

You have to download the adapted EXE on the post from the link I've commented. The game will probably not work if you try to run the original SWF.

I got confused cause that's not flash that''s some ruffle that kinda works but doesn't. Alright, alright I stood and went to my desk, now I'm included. Wish BFME was that easy.

Boy sure I would love to play some mh on my dusty 3ds.
I wish I could said the same about s4 league that was such a gem of a game, what a sad fate it got with the amount is mismanagement from aeria games

I'm hopeful that someone is still working on getting servers back up for Megaman X Online Deathmatch.

I single-handedly got people so butthurt over using Gravity Well on Doppler's stage that they banned me from the room for 1000 hours and changed the stage to remove the ceiling spikes.

You can still experience one of the most broken online modes ever made on PS3! with this game:

Everyone there is either level 99 or kills you in one shot, because there's no matchmaking

This topic really interests me, it wasn't so long ago that even PS3 servers for some multiplayer games were still being hosted. It kind of reminds me of that story about those old AOL chatrooms from the 90s that were still being used by old people on the original AOL client before they were shut down a few years ago. For some reason what comes to mind is The Pirates of the Burning Sea, it has a very small but friendly player base with a very dedicated team of developers. That's a slightly more obscure one that's easier for most people to get in to than others!

Pretendo is trying to bring back online services for all 3ds and wii u titles its just a slow process.

Unreal Tournament 99 and 2k4 are both still maintained playable online by fans, since Epic abandoned them with short notice. Quake 3 Arena is also playable, but then there's also QuakeLive and Champions to play, which are less forgotten.

What I really wanna mention, is the Hawakening project, which was fans reviving one of my favorite multiplayer games, Hawken. A mecha based arena shooter. Check them out, the game is still fun and they're figuring out how they can add more content from the console versions.

Apparently Red Faction 1 Multiplayer is still a thing:

Is SWAT 4 considered forgotten in some way? You still can play it using Gameranger and it's an absolute masterpiece with friends.

Nothing beats 3 SWAT operatives yelling "POLICE, ON YOUR KNEES" while spraying some paintball pellets while the 4th one throws a stinger grenade by accident, stunning the rest. Good times!

I have crawled out from my rock and realized that N|e|x|o|n finally gave us an official avenue to play Mushroom game in a more classical state. If you enjoy Mushroom game check out Artale on msworlds. [my v key does not work on my laptop, so I am copying a pasting a blue one.]

There's a PC version too.

Tribes: Aerial Assault (2002) - PlayStation2

One of the few PS2 games I've played online back in the day has a small but active community that is active (https://www.tribesaerialassault.com/) and are looking for new players.

I don't know if it counts as a full game since it's a mod but Zombie Panic! Source. I spent hours playing that in like 2007-2010. Logged on and you can still find the occasional person playing but have yet to really find a full functioning lobby. Kind of want to do a video on it.
