The 5 Best Multiplayer Games of 2017

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is incredible for the simple fact that it might be the best iteration of a survival multiplayer Slg Game Strategy the world has ever seen—balancing has been impeccable, strategies are numerous, and the difficulty of the game is just satisfying enough that many players have experienced a victory at least once while retaining enough of a challenge to keep them coming back to chase that post-victory high. The game is still a work in progress, too, so there's every reason to believe that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is on a skyward trajectory that might not have even reached its peak as of yet—scary thinking for competitors, but for fans of the game, a promising beginning to the new y

When the PlayStation Classic finally arrived, the critic reviews were underwhelming . A reliance on the PAL versions of the game left NTSC users dealing with what seemed to be sluggish ports, while the absence of titles like Crash Bandicoot was made all the more apparent at launch. Hardly a fitting celebration for such a great cons

File this one under "could have been multiplayer game of the year just a few years ago." Ubisoft's For Honor takes multiplayer combat to the extreme, featuring one of the most nuanced and complicated battle systems in the genre, coupled with an eye for historical accuracy that rivals even the Assassin's Creed series. For Honor 's single-player campaign is worth mentioning as well, as it houses some of the best writing and level design in the multiplayer genre and should be a blueprint for those who come after it in 2

EA needed to have a good year after the savage mauling it received at the hands of fans in 2017. Games such as Star Wars: Battlefront II had been at the front of the video game loot boxes debate, which saw publishers such as EA come under fire for bad business models and potentially even using mechanics akin to gambling in their games. In the end, EA promised to do better with its future releases, and as such would come under a lot of scrut

Despite being in early-access, PUBG is already an overwhelming success. It regularly dethrones League of Legends as the most streamed game on Twitch. It will be seeing a console release on the Xbox One by year’s end, and it seems to have cemented the battle royale arena as a fully-fledged genre in gaming. Major studios are already taking notice, with games like Grand Theft Auto Online and Fortnite adding battle royale game modes of their own. From starting as a mod-of-a-mod to serving as the basis for several major games, the journey this genre has undertaken thus far is already quite incredible. This is really just the beginning though! Who else out there is looking forward to seeing where these games go next?

Valle del Mar is a colorful oceanside town bisected by the De Toro bridge. To the West of the bridge is a quaint school, and to the East, a beautiful church. The key to holding this town is bridge control, as it's the only direct route between mainland and the isl

Ian Huston: There can be misconceptions toward esports professionals when compared to what people view as traditional athletes. However, this perception is slowly changing as esports becomes more mainstream and people recognize what preparation and sacrifice is needed in being a professional. I personally think that the next step in esports’ march towards the mainstream revolves around players and their personal streaming. It’s been a form of entertainment for so many for so long and the main way to view competitions, but there’s been a pivot this year where celebrities and businesses have taken it more seriously as a way to directly connect with their intended audien

Added new weapon Mk14 EBR (Enhanced Battle Rifle). Mk14 EBR is a Designated Marksman Rifle that can only be obtained from Carepackages. This weapon is chambered for 7.62mm and sniper rifle attachments

The Mk14 is a semi-auto sniper rifle weapon comparable to the game's current SKS, as another crate-only weapon however, the chances of getting it (and other care package items) is becoming increasingly rare. With the previous rifle add-on (the Groza), soon the game will have to cycle some of these weapons into the regular loot ta

We are excited beyond words that we can finally share the name of our new desert map and tell you a little bit about some of the places you can visit. When we decided to create a new map, we focused on creating an environment that is very different from Erangel. We wanted to go the opposite direction of having lush fields and forests and arrived at the harsh and unforgiving desert of what we can now reveal is Miramar. The unique terrain and dense urban areas of Miramar will create a new Battle Royale experience where the old strategies may no longer work and new tactics are required. We don't want to tell you too much as you will soon be able to experience it all yourself but we did write a few short descriptions of several of the key landmarks and towns. You can find them below, together with the new screensh
