[QUOTE="MagnumXL, post: 227978, member: 2512"] Speak for yourself. I've ignored 99.9% of all multiplayer games due to CHEATING, which is incessant in multiplayer games on the PC (Borderlands2 being the exception since there's no incentives to cheat against each other since you work together). I remember playing Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds online and I was SO excited to try my honed and practiced skills out with a team against team setup only to find one of the guys on the other team was building resources at about 4-5x the rate humanly possible and I immediately realized it was a waste of time to even bother. I used to play Euchre online back in the late 1990s and it wasn't long before they added ladders and what not and as broadband became prevalent people would just call each other on their land line phones even to talk/cheat as teams online so you had to do the same to even hope to compete and it just defeated the entire point of the game. Unless you just play with people you know personally, it's all moot, IMO. I'd much rather play single player games that offer a legitimate challenge, an actual story and new places to explore than the same old maps with cheating players running around the place (e.g. Jedi Academy, loaded up with Force Lightning that could hit someone a mile away is real "fun" alright). "Capture the flag" type crap gets old in no time anyway and most multiplayer games I ever played offered little beyond that sort of thing in multiplayer modes. You can have the best graphics in the world and if there is no gameplay or story, WTF is the point?
