Given the many titles that could have been compelling additions to our Best Multiplayer console games on Mobile of 2017 list, it should come as no surprise that we believe this may have been the best year in multiplayer gaming since the release of Halo: Combat Evolved . Did we miss any that you would’ve placed here? Any games you think might surpass the ones on this list in 2018? Let us know in the comments be
Part of the charm of the game is the way it balances killer and camp counselor, a tightrope act that shouldn’t be ignored. Mechanics mesh extremely well with gameplay and give players a variety of options in escaping Jason Voorhees —unless they’re lucky enough to play as him instead, a delightful experience that is equal parts frenetic and fun. Sure, parts of Friday the 13th: The Game are disappointing, but it was, for at least a few weeks, one of the most hotly-debated and thoroughly-enjoyed multiplayer titles of 2017, earning it a spot on this l
The Culling has a troubled history, to put it mildly. It preceded even PUBG , hitting the market in early 2016 and launching to significant praise. However, it would squander all of this initial goodwill over the course of barely a single year, halting development on the freshly released title in favor of a new game, The Culling 2 . Fans were less than enthu
What’s missing is the ability to keep the camera on the left side when a player isn’t aiming. Since tightening your aim in the game slows your character’s movement, the lack of a shoulder swap forces players to choose between better visibility and better movem
File this one under “could have been multiplayer game of the year just a few years ago.” Ubisoft’s For Honor takes multiplayer combat to the extreme, featuring one of the most nuanced and complicated battle systems in the genre, coupled with an eye for historical accuracy that rivals even the Assassin’s Creed series. For Honor ‘s single-player campaign is worth mentioning as well, as it houses some of the best writing and level design in the multiplayer genre and should be a blueprint for those who come after it in 2
No list of the year’s best multiplayer games would be complete without PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds . It’s difficult to express just how successful the game, which started as an early access title on Steam and became a worldwide phenomenon overnight, has truly been, but we will try. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds set a new record for most concurrent Steam users earlier this year, surpassing industry staples like Dota 2 , while also forming the foundation of a new eSport and online streaming sensation, with the title frequently occupying one of the top spots of metrics tracking Twitch’s viewership figu
A very low tier weapon, which is the worst one in the shotgun family. Even for a shotgun, Sawed-off has a pitiful range, and its pellets deal very low damage. Just like S686, it only has two rounds, which makes the gun a risky choice to roll w
R45 was a pretty popular handgun back when it was released, but after the arrival of Desert Eagle, it has completely been forgotten. Its kill power pales whenever compared to Desert Eagle or classic R1895, and its magazine size or handling is nothing to brag about either. It’s hardly used nowadays and isn’t viable at all, especially in a competitive mode. R45 best fits as a makeshift weapon before a player find any primary weap
There isn’t much to say about AWM except it has by far the highest damage in the game. A single headshot from AWM is capable enough to knock out a player with level 3 Helmet. The gun is incredible in every possible way and is air-drop exclusive, rightfully so. AWM deals maximum damage up to the range of 150 meters after which, its damage starts to fall till the range of 679 met
One of the worst and most obvious cases of poor terrain interactions shows up when driving a vehicle in PUBG . Random map geometry can snag a car and bring it to an immediate halt or swerve it off course. And in severe cases, cars can do a complete flip while driving on seemingly smooth ground. While it’s good for a laugh, competitive players won’t laugh long if that flipped car was supposed to save them from the blue cir
For one, PC gamers are likely used to seeing clearly defined options when it comes to anti-aliasing, so PUBG’s “Low” and “Ultra” won’t help a gamer know if their running MSAAx2 or TXAAx4. Since there are pros and cons to each anti-aliasing type, it would be helpful for PUBG to let players know which was being selec
Some games lack this middle level of tightened aim, and a lot of players may be uncomfortable adjusting to this way of bringing up the proper weapon sights. In third-person, the middle level of tightened aim gives players a way to focus on their target a little more accurately without having to switch to first-person, but in first person, it may not feel so useful. Giving players a way to decide how they want to switch between aim types should help improve players’ comfort with the gunp
