Fear did so much good stuff with first person combat. Shame so few other games bothered to try

Conker: Live & Reloaded on Xbox from 2005-2010. To this day it's one of very few games to feature a multiplayer story campaign and it was an awesome mashup/parody of Wolfenstein: ET, Team Fortress, Halo and Battlefield. It seems really unknown and under-rated now compared to other MP games of the era despite how innovative it was. In terms of graphics and depth/quality of 3rd-person gameplay there was nothing else like Conker at the time, even on PC. On the surface it looks like a cartoonish, tacked-on casual game but there was actually a huge amount of depth and features, like a proto-TF2 with vehicles (even cockpit view for the gunships). What made Conker unique in the landscape of multiplayer games, even today really, is the campaign mode for 16 players where each map is built around its own unique mission mode, like a D-Day beach assault, or a 1-way staged objectives map or hybrid CTF+conquest, with story elements and cutscenes, versus most other MP games where maps are basic arena-style for TDM/CTF, etc. I think the closest modern successors would be PvZ: Garden Warfare and Titanfall. It also had a cable car map set between 2 forts!. Probably my favourite multiplayer map ever, Castle von Tedistein (skip to 1:30). The interface is terribly cluttered with icons and names though, one of the big flaws of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiIP4LHIN0I&t=90s I love cable car/gondola levels in games, but the only others I know of are 007: Nightfire and the Summit map in BLOPS 1. We're badly starved for MP games with maps that have automated transport like trams, cable cars and monorails; there's just something really fun about them in an online environment. psyman fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Aug 4, 2016 |

You and me both, buddy. That Nightfire map was incredible, in an otherwise completely unremarkable game. I really wish good and/or popular games would make more use of them, aside from the aforementioned summit map from BLOPS 1 (which I've never played).
