<div class="IPBDescription">its a hit...</div> Ok i have nticed that recently all FPS games have 2 thing in comon Ai team mates instead of the onslaut of you the american hero single handedly saving the world as they "apreantly" did in WW2, and veicles not so much the seocnd one but all have the first, So why is squad games so populer and what is this post about well its about your thoughts on you got it squad games and why you think there so much better than standered FPS like doom.
Now since i started the post i think im entiataled to give my thoughs, the first game really to show that multiplayer is alot more fun witha team was TFC, and i think we all agree that it was good for its time ans still is, then CS was relased, swiftly followed by DoD, NS, FA, DC, GW etc etc as you see these are mainly all mods, made by you the gamers. Its what you wanted a group of people trying to over come the same situation unlike DM games (which i personely hate they take no skill except who camps on the biggest gun first) soon many games by retailers followed suit, Halo, MOHAA and most recently Call of Duty.
The reasons people like squas games is no one ever wants to be alone in a game, if some shoots you in the ehad you want some one to nail him back but if he better than you chances are you wont, if you have a team mate chances are both of you can take him out and luagh at his feeble nsults like Fun you, you mellon farmer (if you dont get this, in the 1970's the first swer words on TV in a movie were dubed out and replaced by this), if any one played on a game with veicles that have sevral team mate slots you will know thats its fun as hell to bomb around in ajepp while some one fires a couple of high speed rockets up some ones **** for good measure.
so iv you cant be arshed to read the above or simple tink its a load of dump plz post your ideas here why team games are the ebst and how much death match sucks, and if you like death match WTH you doing in a NS form go back to the HLDMC oh wait it dont ahve one cosue nobody likes it.

Yes because we all know the african / italian / pacific campaign and D-Day wasnt the Americans.
Anyway, you make a good point, except that you fail to mention that sometimes an AFK or stupid/jacka55 player can ruin the entire game by Tking or throwing the game off balance.
Plus after you play a single player game... meh... unless there's some great mods for it.

I love the single palyer games for the story etc. But after I beat them I like the scenarios and competition of the Multiplayer scene,
Having the options to play the single player games co-op is even greater. I loved playing HL Co-Op with Svencoop and and ALiens Vs Predator 2 with the X-Co-Op Mod you could get, I cant tell you how much fun it was to make a squad of my college buds and sweep through the dark halls of a dark alien infested facility or to ride around the Black Mesa sub transit system with a tram cart load of of your friends.
As for the single player games. Some games jsut need the you against the world aspect. Kinda like Splinter Cell. As for other war games when you paly the general soldier, I like the idea of having a squad to go with you. I loved Call of duty for that And I liked its implementation in the Vietnam War game VietCong.
I would love to see a game like Morrowind have a cooperative mode or a vast online aspect but oh well.
halo owns most heartily, and halo 2 will own even moreso.
