friends welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 competitive online
shooters for our list we’re looking at
any competitive shooter you can play
online be it first or third person we’ve
limited ourselves to one game per
franchise and we’re also ranking them
based on quality of online play and
replay value
number 10 Killzone 3 the name doesn’t
lie this installment in the squad based
series is full of combat we love all the
Killzone games but the multiplayer in
this title brings it to a new high with
the overhauling of the leveling system
the new mechanism rewards players for
their achievements on the battlefield
with unlock points for new weapons and
abilities so you’ll reap the benefits of
destroying your enemies number 9
SOCOM – US Navy SEALs this game’s
predecessor was one of the first online
games for the ps2 but this title
drastically updated the online play in
the series of tactical shooters the 12
new maps and the addition of turrets –
some of the old ones helped improve the
online experience another cool addition
is the anti-personnel mine which gets
set off by someone walking on it and can
destroy a large number of enemies in a
single shot victorious number 8 Gears of
War 3
as much as we love bisecting locusts
with chainsaw guns it’s nice to know
that people have your back thankfully
like the campaign this games online
components emphasize team play
you’ll want as many people on your site
as you can find when you try beast mode
where you can play as a locust and try
to survive twelve rounds of combat with
human enemies it’s as challenging as it
is fun
number seven quake 2 the multiplayer in
this game was so great that the title
became one of the first eSports thanks
to the legendary convention quakecon the
title improved on its excellent
predecessor by recasting some of the
weapons so having the rocket launcher no
longer made for a nearly automatic
victory with dedicated servers for this
game still running today it’s worth a
revisit if you haven’t played in a while
number six Unreal Tournament
we already knew how great the Unreal
Engine was before this game but
tournament showcased its ability to fuel
online action the seemingly endless
variety of game options ensures you’ll
never run out of ways to challenge your
enemies plus it was one of the first
games to have an announcer to call out
your exploits pushing the concept of
violence as a sport to a whole new level
number 5 battlefield 3 it’s always good
to carry a big gun to take out your
enemies but sometimes even that’s not
enough to get the job done
that’s why battlefield lets you hop into
a huge selection of vehicles to get
where you’re going and blow up
everything when you get there the titles
expansive maps and their destructible
environments are an ideal setting for
the Furious combat they’re in we’re
sticking with the third installment
since one here is still a bit burnt from
the buggy fourth game number for Team
Fortress 2
who said online shooters had to be
realistically dark and twisted
experiences Team Fortress 2 goes in the
opposite direction and the results are
awesome
the hilariously over-the-top characters
and wacky weapons remind us that video
games are supposed to be fun first and
foremost classic capture the flag is
always amazing but the latest standout
has to be the medieval mode where you’re
limited to using medieval weapons
sorry battle cry you’re a bit late to
that bandwagon number 3 call of duty
modern warfare 2 the single-player
campaigns have had some memorable
moments but the online play has always
been the reason why people keep
answering the call the first modern
warfare may have revolutionized the
franchise but this installment perfected
the experience thanks to its visual
overhaul and customizable kill streaks
everyone’s got a favorite kill streak
lineup whether they like to play it safe
with care packages and UAVs or hold out
for something bigger like the coveted a
c-130 or chopper gunner rides
employment number two halo 3
honestly any Halo game since number two
introduced online play to the series
could have taken this slot reach pushed
the model even further but the immense
amount of features the series is now
known for was really perfected in number
three not only were there tons of modes
maps and DLC content but you can now
build your own Maps in the Forge and
even watch incredibly detailed replays
of your matches before we get to our
number one let’s take a look at some
honorable mentions
number one Counter Strike global
Offensive taking the top spot is the
valve franchise that started life as a
mod like counter-strike source go
combines the team based CS gameplay with
the ultra responsive Source engine go
has improved on its predecessors tenfold
by adding the stat tracking competitive
mode where you’re matched with equally
skilled players and ranked in worldwide
leaderboards with players locked into
these intense five-on-five matches every
split-second decision becomes crucial to
victory anyone who thinks that
counter-strike has become outdated you’d
only play a few of these competitive
matches to fully understand how deep
this simple concept goes you agree with
our list what’s your favorite online
shooter for more intense top 10s
