Hello,

Im realy confused of which to buy for multiplayer...
it seems Spec Ops is more fun and better, Max Payne 3 Multiplayer ( was made as Add-on ) as i heared, like a bonus..

So , if its Spec Ops , PC or Xbox360 ? is there many people play on both platforms or what?

Thanks

Honestly? Neither.

Singleplayer is far and away the biggest draw of those two games. Multiplayer, on the other hand, feels tacked-on and unnecessary. Max Payne 3's online play is a generic third-person cover shooter, with some vaguely interesting bullet time added on. Spec Op's multiplayer is completely unremarkable through-and-through (in fact, that portion of the game was completely outsourced to another developer so Yager could focus on developing a good singleplayer).

If you want a good multiplayer experience, buy a game who's online play is the main feature, and not a bonus added on the side. I can give you recommendations if you'd like.

Don't worry, there are tons of great multiplayer shooters out there! :)

Battlefield 3 would be my go-to choice for a traditional "military shooter" game. (Bad Company 2 can be had for much cheaper, although it's older and not as many people are playing it.)

Tribes: Ascend is extremely fast-paced and fun, if you want a more oldschool experience. You can play it for free. I see that you like both Quake and Battlefield, so I assume you enjoy both fast and slow games.

If you want something that involves more strategy, there's some other little games like Red Orchestra 2 and Nuclear Dawn. Small communities, but very dedicated.

Of course I'm just throwing stuff out there. But that's a start.

I have BF3 already, got bored .. same with Bad company 2 ..
Im downloading tribes , will try it
Same with Nuclear Dawn, will get it tonight ...

Red Orchestra 2 seems not finished game...


You see? I know all this games, but everytime i hope that there is something i didnt hear about...
I cant belive this generation , they like graphics more than gameplay and multiplayer...
I hope xbox 720 and PS4 Die before the come to life, because it will be Graphics World War between companies...

Thanks for your suggestions anyway ;)

Good to know. Definitely download Tribes. You may find it very addicting.

I see you live in Israel, so I hope you don't have any trouble finding servers. I don't know if there is anyone playing near you. Good luck though.
