Extra Punctuation: On Multiplayer

December 03, 2009 in Blog comments 3

Yahtzee writes about his views on multiplayer modes in games, and why he rarely plays the multiplayer aspect of a game while reviewing it.

Also featuring: a dig at Micheal Atkinson.

Anyway.

"You didn't try the online multiplayer portion of modern warfare 2????? Seriously????? THAT'S LIKE TRYING ORANGE BOX AND SKIPPING OVER THE SILLY PORTAL GAME."
-Matt, via email

Yes, I had a feeling I'd be answering for this today. Why didn't I give Modern Warfare 2's online multiplayer the time of day, despite it being one of the game's big selling points and apparently bestowed upon this Earth by the divine hand of Siddhartha Buddha? I suppose if people are confused enough to use five question marks at a time then I'd better explain why I usually feel that online multiplayer isn't my department.

    Campaign time: 2 hoursish, incomplete, veteran
    Spec Ops: 5+ Hours
    Online: 2+ Days

    I'd say I'm ashamed of myself but I'm planning to play MW2 online in a second and I have to hurry if I want to get in a party with my friends before they get in a game.
