Major ones like Battlefield, Call of Duty have them. Besides you don't have community like Halo on xbox. I joined a game recently in which everyone was riding warthogs for fun instead of shooting each other. Lot of people are dedicated to these franchises.

Same for Gears 4. Halo games shake up things quiet a bit with each installment. Edited June 30, 2021 by AnK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example if bf2042 launched day one on gp, it would have seen a spike in xbox users. Something similar would happen with halo mp as well, and that's why they are promoting it more than the single player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the whole argument is what is the easiest way for someone new to get into ecosystem without worrying/spending much.. The two consoles are the answer..

You are clearly not aware of the Halo lore, which has books, comics and what not. MP was a bonus feature of the game when it launched. Just please stop talking out of your a*s. Halo 1 came out 20 years ago. MP may not have been a focus when it launched but it damn well was after it. Halo has since focused on both SP and MP, with more focus going towards MP due to the nature of things. On a separate note, stop comparing franchises like little kids. They're not comparable. Gears and Halo have MP components which are independent of SP. They have different audiences. As long as these audiences exist, they will keep creating these games and they should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler: It's not PS That’s a very small sample size. Obviously people [who often play MP games] buy the console where their friends are playing. But not everyone plays multiplayer. Overall, Playstation‘s multiplayer experience is better. I rarely play MP games that involve matchmaking. (Mainly F1 and FIFA sometimes). I always have trouble getting matched quickly in online games on Xbox. It’s very uninteresting and dull. On PS, it’s always bustling with players.

The sheer number of PS4 and PS5 systems that have been sold in comparison to Xbox, number of people playing on PS would be much higher by default. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifa is the only game ,which should have cross play too very soon. Destiny and rainbow six have already confirmed for this year or early next year i think.

Im literally sick of your imbecilic replies. Just like another friend of yours. Similar category. Getting personal with each reply. 2) like I have said before, you are clearly unaware of the halo lore. It's story/lore is bigger than what you can comprehend. Maybe you just play it for the MP. That doesn't mean the single player doesn't exist or didn't exist in the past. (they screwed up bad post halo 4, now taking refuge in MP). 3) I didn't compare any series. Me and vaibhav were talking about halo and it's sequels. That's it. Edited June 30, 2021 by radicaldude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on game also man, I paid bought DIRT 5 on PS5.. found 2-3 players in lobby multiple times and gave up online.. Come Gamepass, I don't need to explain what happened with DIRT, you can read in the connect thread. Small size actually matters because for me I can't go and find friends for regular MP games.. Building a group within IVG is what matters for casual gamers like us, we all aren't pros to jump in online.. playing within a small group of community is what matters to most of us.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnK Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 It was true for later part of 360 Gears 3 & MW 3 matchmaking were as good as dead on that system But yeah Crossplay should solve this problem in future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of coop, PvP games on gamepass so you'll have no problem finding friends to play with. The prospect of playing with randoms on the team doesn't interest me much. If it does to you, good for you, I guess. PS, you need only for exclusives or if Sony decides to give a decent game on plus once in a blue moon. I already said keeping GamesPass aside Obviously that’s a very big bonus on Xbox & PC both right now MP gaming has become quite good on both platforms coz of GamesPass without a doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
