Like what. The only high profile MP game that I see is SC2 D:



HoN - Dota crowd.
Bad Company 2 - Modern Warfare crowd
Starcraft2 - The entire RTS crowd and Blizzard Fanbois
C&C4 - Maybe

A huge playerbase split is gonna happen soon in the multiplayer genre. These are games that's gonna have a long lasting appeal and capable of starting never ending fanboi wars.

Looking forward to Brink though, it's the only new IP trying something relative new.

Thanks, I forgot about a few of them.

I forgot about HoN/Dota. Never tried it but it looks interesting.
Any BF game feels nothing like any CoD game imo :{
SC2 hell yeah
C&C4 I forgot about but will be playing too D:

I'm not looking forward to any of those games. In fact, I'm reasonably sure they will all be awful.

Well, I'm pretty sad about this, but there really was no activity. Seems like I'd sit alone in that server a lot. Oh well, I've got another server I join regularly now.

2k4 started dying off, too, unfortunately. A couple months before UT3 came out it was usually only full for an hour or so a night and filled up longer occasionally. 2k3 and 2k4 FragBU were certainly the peak of FragBU, though.

...2k3...FragBU...
Let's face it, 2k3 in many ways was not that good a game in and of itself.

BUT...

We had an awesome group of people who played back then. Some real quality folks. That, for me at least, made 2k3 FragBU the bestest.

Not to say that the 2k4 and UT3 groups weren't good, but there was a great bond in the 2k3 community that was a bit unique. Had to have been a part of it to understand, I guess.

Agreed. We all knew 2k3 wasn't that great, but we had lots of fun with it anyway.

My local LAN group was the most fun back in the days of UT2k3 as well. That was when it was the most active, and our favorite gametype was Double Domination. Imagine a room full of 20 people screaming at each other to get to the point. :D

Good. Does this mean the USA will go back to UT2004 like Europe did 2 weeks after UT3's release? I want UT2004 FBU again!
No, because 2k4 is a terrible game and everyone has moved on to better fun games.
