The Dead MP Games Resurrection Group is a group of members who are looking to resurrect the multiplayer modes for their games that don't have any active players anymore. Games like Outland, Steel Storm, HAWX, Alien Breed, Penguins Arena, Rise of Nations, etc. etc. etc. are in desperate need of players. The players who own those games might be missing out on achievements, or a really fun time, so that's where we come in! Members can join our group and post events, as well as posting in the game threads to show support for a game. We're going to try hosting events regularly on the weekend nights, and we're starting this Friday with Trine and Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe.

We also may host some giveaways, but it's not the priority of the group. My main reason for posting this topic was to get more people joining and interested in resurrecting some of these games, especially if you own any of these and would be interested in playing them.

Click here to join!

Thanks for reading :)

EDIT: I had no idea this would be so popular! We've gained over 100 members since I posted this topic! Thank you to everyone for your support, it means a lot! <3

EDIT: Over 200 new members! This is crazy, we should have posted about it on SG a long time ago. Thank you all so much!

I rarely play multiplayer, but its a cool idea. I'm cheap, so I tend to pickup games well after the multiplayer has died. That probably doesn't do much to encourage me to try multiplayer, either!

Being cheap about games, especially bundle games, is understandable. But a lot of people do enjoy some of these games and would love to play multiplayer if it wasn't for the fact that they're dead. So that's where we come in. :)

God, what I would give to play multi in Binary Domain. Singleplayer after setting up voice recognition is full of ungodly fun and win. I've got Lost Planet Extreme Conditions too, but I can't forward ports in my router, that game is good, 2nd one in coop should be amazing.

I've personally never played it, but we have Binary Domain in our supported list. Feel free to join and add your voice to our Binary Domain thread to garner some interest, and maybe even start up your own event? That's what the group is here for :)

Binary Domain is one my short list of games to play next. I've had it on 360 and PC for ages and it always looked like fun, but I never actually seem to play it. What is the multiplayer like? I'm guessing just Horde mode, like most every game.

Voice recognition worked like sh*t for me :( I yelled CHAAAAAARGE and my teammate responded with "covering!" and similar :D

Does it support yelling "CHAAAAAARGE" like William Wallace, though? :P

Bump for the cool initiative, reminded me of Quake III Arena.
I can contribute with Rise of Nations, used to play it a lot since it came out in 2003 and I haven't really tried the MP since I got it on Steam.

Thanks :3

A friend of mine informed me that Rise of Nations's MP is mostly the highly-skilled competitive players. Very few casuals, very few people who don't play it competitively, so a very dead online area. So yeah, if we can get some people with RoN sharing support in the group, we can set up an event at some point :)

Hadn't heard of it until now, but, looking at the Store page, it doesn't look like it'll be resurrected anytime soon. Not with its dead/toxic community. :/

Just looking at its reviews doesn't seem to bode well for the game. Plus, how exactly would we set up a session in a free-to-play game like that where one would obviously need to progress? I don't know, doesn't seem worth it. If we get a bunch of people suggesting it, then of course we'll consider it, but right now I wouldn't really hold my breath for Tribes: Ascend.

Eh, I understand. I was just hoping I could actually try it for more than a lonely tiny tidbit of time. The game really deserves a revive, though.

If you'd like us to support a game, then join the group and reply to our suggestions thread! And if we do end up supporting it, then you can make your own event in the calendar! Epigenesis does seem like it's in need of some resurrecting. :)

Maybe also add Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine? And E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy.

The Steam Community is currently down for maintenance.

Both Warhammer 40k and E.Y.E. seem to have active multiplayer communities, so they won't be added to the list.

Joined. I mostly play games ~ a year after their release date and most of them have dead MP modes. Although I'm not really interested in MP modes but still I'd like to at least try it after finishing the story mode.

It might help to move this to Group Recruitment or Let's Play Together. The former is more accurate, but the latter would better serve the group's function.

I considered it, but Group Recruitment seemed more like for giveaway groups, which this isn't.

Then Let's Play Together would be appropriate, although maybe you'll want to wait to move it until it been in the General for a day or two (to get the word out).

Roger that, I'll move it there in a day or two. Thanks for the assistance :3

Is it really that dead on MP? There's 207 people on right now, 670 just in the past 24 hours.

Few hours ago I tried and there was 0 people, 200 people isn't really much anyway, in a few weeks or months, probably it'll go down to 150 and etc.

Did you based yourself on that for previous games? I'd understand if the game was mp only, but in that number there could be 10000 people playing and everyone doing sp.

Comment has been collapsed.

No, but if someone suggests a game and I do see people playing it that's when I asked "How's the MP, is it dead?" I also look through the forums to see if there's people going "let's do co-op" or something. Believe me, it's not like I go to the page, see 200 people playing, and go, "Nope, they're all in MP, not dead!" I'm smarter than that xD

Sure! If you go into the giveaway creation area, there's a section where you can limit it to just a group. Select Dead MP Games Resurrection Group and make the rest of the giveaway as you would normally, and make sure you post it in the group General Discussion forum, and you're all set! It'd be really appreciated :D

Unification of time is a difficult thing that would take years to adapt to as a society. :P

In any case, the event dates/times should adapt to your local timezone. Check http://steamcommunity.com/groups/ResurrectDeadMPGames on the right side. What times/dates do those events say for you?
