    Unless they "follow the leader" they are doomed to fail. Every "new" and "fresh" FPS multiplayer is dead in the gutter.

    Bioshock 2? Fail.

    Serious Sam 3? Fail.

    Medal of Honor: Warfighter? Fail.

    I can go on. There is plenty of disappointment in the past decade.

    Warfighter failed because the game was terrible, and received the terrible scores it deserved. Multiplayer had some interesting concepts, but the game itself was just bad. Serious sam also had some issues. I agree though, people are unwilling to accept change so quickly.

    In terms of single player the former MOH was better, but the multiplayer wasn't that bad, I honestly prefer that to Bf3 or COd, but thats just me. It was meant to be more about tactics and teamplay in a tad "realistic" way, but people tend to cod it.

    It failed because it wasn't like CoD.

    Because it tried to do something unique and new, and fresh, and just as a million times before, freshness turned out to be B.S. that nobody needs.

    We have a set of time proven FPS laws that always work. "Oh boy, let's ignore that and invent a wheel all over again!"

    Meh, I disagree. Change can be good if its done right. Saying things should stay the same because "oh we might fail" is stupid in the extreme, honestly thank goodness not everyone is like that. We would still be living in the fucking stone ages.

    Hi guys,
    there might be actually something to the whole multiplayer thing.
    The German tech-site "Golem" wrote on friday in one of their previews:

    "[...] Last Light will include, unlike as in it's predecessor, a multiplayer mode."

    They also mentioned, that they didn't got to play the multiplayer at the playtest.

    FPS market is saturated that's the problem, when you have a loyal customer base like with COD and BF then why play anything else?

    That's why I was reluctant for LL to have a FPS MP mode, it would have died and gotten swept under the carpet like with Homefront, Bioshock 2, and all the other games.

    A horde type mode would have been good, but I would honestly prefer more campaign missions like what Dishonored has done.

    When games like COD bring in more money than massive box office movies do you really think people would play anything else on a regular basis? The servers would be dead within a month after the novelty has worn off and server costs aren't cheap.

    Metro should have more campaign missions or co-op, but then the problem is with co-op you'll loose the sense of survival.

    If 4A were planning a game mode like Capture the station which is a spin on Conquest or Domination then I'm glad it was scrapped.

    I agree with majnu on this one, last light having multiplayer did not sit to well with me.

    Multiplayer? Uhh... Oh no! :puke:
    I don't believe multiplayer would work for Metro Last Light or Metro 2033, ever! The only way it might have worked, and I'm kind of lying here, is if THQ decided from the beginning to have a multiplayer option when Metro 2033 was in development; Some games aren’t meant to have multiplayer and this is one of them. Although, I just that about this, it would be cool to have a multiplayer mode where the entire metro is open to roam around, and I mean everything, and people would be able to form stations, gangs, armies, become a merchant, or do it solo etc. Then once that is settled, it would be a true, living, breathing, metro created by the fans. I think that would be pretty cool! Then again, that would be and MMO and a lot of people here didn't like that, but I bet you now think that would be a very cool MMO now don't you? DON"T YOU!?

    There is a chance that there could be mutltiplayer. It was just put on hold, that doesn't mean that it won't happen. It would be great to have metro last light forums game nights. That would be sick.

    Multiplayer?

    I know that there was a multiplayer in development, and that they decided to can it in the end but i remember seeing an interview with one of the developers and he said something like "we don't want to waste all of that time we spent making a multiplayer so we could use it later." I know its not an exact quote but if we will expect a multiplayer why don't they tell us what it could be? If they say what it could be then we (the fans) could tell them exactly what we want to see.

    Share your thoughts :)
