I play a decent amount of the Killzone events. There's an event EVERY Sunday at 3 PM EST. Usually, you'll get around 5-12 players, but even with 5 players, the spawns in Killzone make it a great time.
it is awesome. i had the pleasure of playing good old cod3 online back in the day. i was known as xOSOKxNATEDOGGx. vividly remember people doing the snake glitch, (a glitch that enabled users to be prone in game and still have all of the abilities as if you were standing up normally) had many a asshole zooming around in prone with a rocket launcer zoomin around blowing mfs up. ahh the good days.
@@craigachuff6087same here. I grew up on games like timesplitters and BHD. But never had internet access or a modem. But thanks to ps3 backwards compatibility, I finally got to play multiplayer online for those games around 2010. And wow those games were really ahead of it’s time back then. Still had some people playing
@@kevinsteel7875spies vs mercs brings back so many great memories. I've yet to see any other game balance two drastically different play styles so well. it's a shame I don't see it mentioned more in videos about retro shooters
Huge thanks for the love for our community. I'm glad you enjoyed everyone. We have a wonderful group. It will only get better with time. Thank you for all you do. I'm glad you got to experience Tribes Aerial Assault. If you ever want to join again to play. You will always be welcome with us. I will pass on the video in my normal places. Hopefully it will help you out. Thank you so much for helping us out. We don't get a lot of exposure. So what you do is so important for these retro gaming communities.
@@MAWK3 We know how important the exposure is. I have been able to reach old players by groups still being used. Some from creating and recording our games for yt. Some twitch, reddit, X (twitter), etc. It's a slow process and has brought back friends from 20+ years ago. That's why the group is so close. So we know the value of having someone who does wonderful content including our group in a video. For me it has always been a matter of finding the other 2k or so forum members. It's why I built a website. It was about archiving the history. These videos all give new players a glimpse into the past and alert old players to the existence of these projects. So it is huge for all the groups that are included. There will be people who watch this and already play retro games. Trying other games as a result of videos like this. For me it is always super fun to watch people play online for the first time on Tribes. It is so much fun to talk to people from 20 years ago when they find that we exist. Tribes didn't get a bunch of advertisement. So most of the players came from word of mouth. It was legit like 13-15 year old kids showing their neighborhood friends. So there were just small clusters of players typically. These reunions have happened in my discord channel over and over. It is always amazing. So I am glad there are people like you. Who are great at making content and willing to help out. I record and put our events on YT but content creation isn't really my thing. I am starting to do a few tutorials for newer players. But I will be glad to be back to just dumping game video on here. :D
For those looking for Battlefront 2 online, there is still a fairly active community on PC. There are competitive matches and tournaments hosted on the Battlefront Competitive League discord server every week
Seeing KIllzone brings back so many memories. My brother and I would play hour long split screen games in Killzone every Saturday afternoon growing up. TDM, I played for the ISA and he always went with the Helghast. Hard difficulty, max bots. Every week we'd rotate who would pick the first map and I always went with Canyon Crossing when he'd usually go with Park Terminal or Beach Head. He almost always won, but man, those were some fun games. Never got to play online, but after scrolling through the comments and knowing exactly where my game and PS2 are, I might just have to give it a try one of these days. My brother doesn't game much anymore, but at least I can potentially make new memories with others on that classic.
Representing the Outbreak community. I play it very frequently and I'm always online on the main server's shoutbox. We have guides ready to get you set up and plenty of people, myself included, are happy to play with new players and show 'em the ropes. They're easily a couple of the greatest co op games ever made, and you're rewarded by getting good at them.
I have a huge question about playing your ps2 online could you help me walk me through it I would love to play ps2 online any of these games !!! Please maybe I could give you my email ?? I would really enjoy playing my ps2 I just got online thank you I appreciate your time on this very much I would definitely love to get back into playing outbreak I never got to play it or experience it online. I could only imagine how awesome it is. !!! I’ve never got to play my PS2 online ever so that would be so cool to be able to do it.

midnight 3 dub edition has an amazing "of the time" soundtrack. Big Tymers, Lil Wayne, Sean Paul, beanie mann, noisia, omni trio, calyx, MIA, Queens of the Stoneage, Marilyn Manson, ALL GREAT DRIVING MUSIC
Mortal Kombat Armageddon stills on,with somewhere at least 1 or 3 players during the week,but DNS error only happens with the Premium Edition of Armageddon(the one with the UMK3 port as bonus in the extras)if you use the regular version will conect fine
@@JohnTechG sometimes due to frame rate differences,if you match a emulator with a console the match won't work(I had a similar problem with MK Deception when I mach my PS2 with a emulator on PC for testing)you probably match with a console,trie from the PS2 or check the framerate on the emulator match with the game on console
@@gyga100 well i did try to match with a buddy of mine on emulator as well and nothing but my ps2 isnt functioning anymore but ill probably pick up another one when i can and give that shot instead thanks for the info though!
I am really happy I found your channel, it's the type of niche i really love and your videos are just how I want them. Would love to hear you talk more about bad ports
These videos are a brilliant advertisement and reminder that these old games still exist and people are still playing them! I hope it will encourage more and more people to get stuck in as player numbers could always be better. I often think considering how many people there are in the world that they would be much higher, but that is obviously not the case haha. Keep up the good work! The PS3 videos are great too.
It's incredible to see members of these communities meeting up to play their favorite games from the past, refusing to let them die. I never got to experience online multiplayer on my PS2, but it's so cool to experience it secondhand.
Incredible video concept and great production. It is so nostalgic to see these games have people still playing online. It really is a forgotten time of online gaming.
EQOA frontiers is my favorite game I have ever played in my life. It’s the start of a life time of fantasy and the love for mmorpg. Just seeing it on the list, then hearing there’s so many people playing is so amazing. I need to figure out how to play it on the pc as soon as possible
I'd kill to play Twisted Metal Black: Online and SOCOM 1 & 2, THUG1 and Rising Sun with my old clans, bandmates and high school friends. TimeSplitters 3 was also a blast online.
Thank you for uploading this. This very cool too see. I just turned 30 and remember the first time I seen a game online. It was Madden. I was so amazed lol
Ratchet and clank Deadlock was my childhood favorite I still own the Disc even though it doesn’t work hopefully it sees a resurgence so I can go down memory lane
The amount of work you put into these videos is greatly appreciated bro! Thank you for helping spotlight these communities and keeping them alive. Hope all is well!
That is a PC game though, which is easier to play online due to it being compatible on more devices and having easy access to the files. With PS2, either you play on the original console or you emulate it. Also PS2 Online is a relatively niche thing compared to PS3 Online, most people didn't start playing online until the 7th generation.
Crazy, When i was young (probably 15, now am 23) I saw a video on youtube of people Playing Resident Evil Outbreak online on the PS2. this was like taboo at this point because the PS2 online servers had been shut down for years previous to this, It just felt like found footage to me lol. But now seeing that game and many more classics very much alive and back online, brings me so much joy :')
Came for the Delta Force! So glad to see it made the list, used to tear it up way back when. Miss the game and the 20 or so of us that seemed to play during that time. Never met a person in real life that also played it online.
Also played Battlefront on the PSP, but after playing the PS2 version a long time ago. God i sank so many hours into the BF1 Demo and finally got BF2 as a full game. I was only 10 years old when i first got BF2 for my PS2 and i was the happiest kid around, even got up at 7AM on free days just to play the game. Wish i could go back.
Hey! I'm one of the fellow players that play RE: Outbreak on a regular basis since many years ago, it's a formula that just doesn't get boring and we tend to play every map in order across both games in one sitting. If you need someone to guide you through the game or give you some insights, I'm willing to help. I'd do anything to attract new players to our small community
The thing with killzone online on the PS2 is when it first got brought back in 2021 I think it was it pretty much active nearly every night, me and a few others used always be on. Now I guess alot of us have gotten busy and now it's limited to The killzone Event on sundays. I do miss jumping on randomly and seeing people online tho
Same with Burnout 3, when it went public in 2023 it was active almost every night with new names showing up all the time and you were guaranteed to have a 6-player race. Now when you get on it's empty most of the time and on the rare occasion you do find someone it's usually one of the veterans.
Oh my god. Socom is active? Alright man. This is the video where I've realized I've been holding myself back. The ps2 was my first console but I was too young to understand how any of the networking worked, so I never did, but I've always longed for the curious world of ps2 online. Thank you man. I'm going to figure out how I can get my game up.
TimeSplitters 2 and Future Perfect seem to be active enough. TimeSplitters Online (conjoined with former XlinkSplitters) hosts events on the PS2 and Xbox through Xlink-Kai. We are waiting for TS:FP to have online support through Insignia and maybe even a custom DNS for PS2
I would like to see a version of this type of video but with a no discord rule. To see how organically active these games actaully are its not really as suprising or interesting if theres a niche discord that does game nights
The only games you'd really be able to find people playing at any time are SOCOM, Battlefield, and EverQuest. Besides that you usually have to get lucky on the weekends or ask people on Discord.
Glad you mentioned SWB2 because I remember playing on the original Servers for Star Wars Battlefront 2! Even tho it was on PC but still that game was and still is a lot of fun.
You remember the player David Webb that guy was beast 😂 (Me) but that series definitely died with that one the psp ones were god awful no stealth no nothing just very generic linear gameplay
A game that in the PS2 version does not have an online version but nowadays people play online via emulator and even compete in championships is Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3. A channel that shows this well is TH-camr Marlon Chaves, he is Brazilian
Oh man, when i was 15 i used to play Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition every Day!...i even still remember some of the Names of the People i played with. Good Times.
Keep it up MAWK3, you're videos are awesome and you put it so much effort into researching and getting you're own gameplay footage. Slowly but surely your channel will grow, you definitely deserve a lot more subs than you have right now. 🤞🤞🤞
Damn I’m so lucky I found this channel by randomly falling asleep to a asmon video 😂 thanks for the nostalgia and information keep up the outstanding work and content
I definitely need to play Battlefront 2 on the PS2 again, it’s amazing to even find 5 people on it in 2024!! Amazing video brethren you killed it once again! Proud of you 😁💯🔥✨
SOCOM 1 and 2 were so awesome. I liked Killzone as well. Tribes AA was the first game I played online on the PS2. That and SOCOM were my favorites. I enjoyed Hardware Online Arena as well. Too bad it’s not on this list, maybe it hasn’t been revived yet? In Europe I participated in so much beta tests. Always fun when you got a beta disc in the mail. SLAI was a very interesting mech brawler with lots of customization options but I remember it to be incredibly hard to advance in.
@@adamp5825 I haven’t been able to get any DNS servers that work for any of the ps2 games. I think it’s an issue when playing from internal HDD vs the actual game disc
Always a good day when MAWK3 uploads, Another great video and i'm sad i don't have my PS2 around (currently getting repaired), I would have loved to play MGO and a couple other games but i feel like there wouldn't be many players at EU/Asia region, Keep on trucking my friend!
That's great to see online on ps2 still working..and thank you for making this great list...and I hope you find us psp and psvia games that work online in the future...and thank you again
Resident Evil Outbreak is lots of fun if you can get some friends together. It plays like an escape room game, and it doesn't get dull on multiple playthroughs.
Release v1.0.2 of the Unofficial Update Mod for Star Wars Battlefront II on PS2. Adds a recreation of the content from the Xbox DLC along with CW Hoth, CW Endor, GCW Geonosis, a few additional hunt modes, and Hero Assault (Heroes vs Villains) on every map, along with a slightly expanded Galactic Conquest. Also patched for SWBFSpy multiplayer.
I never got to play the PS2 online when I was a kid because we had shitty dial-up internet, so I didn’t start playing online until I got a PS3. I am very interested in going back and playing some of these and seeing what it’s like
It's surreal just seeing footage of PS2 online modes. I'm sure barely anybody recorded footage of these games during their heyday. Without these modders, these games would just be relegated to folktales.

I would like to see a version of this type of video but with a no discord rule. To see how organically active these games actaully are its not really as suprising or interesting if theres a niche discord that does game nights
The only games you'd really be able to find people playing at any time are SOCOM, Battlefield, and EverQuest. Besides that you usually have to get lucky on the weekends or ask people on Discord.
Glad you mentioned SWB2 because I remember playing on the original Servers for Star Wars Battlefront 2! Even tho it was on PC but still that game was and still is a lot of fun.
I appreciate the Bully music at the beginning.
Please do a "most active Dreamcast Online games!"
Got a exploring DEAD Dreamcast games coming very soon 😄
I remember playing symphon filter OS religiously as a young teen, nostalgia bomb wow
You remember the player David Webb that guy was beast 😂 (Me) but that series definitely died with that one the psp ones were god awful no stealth no nothing just very generic linear gameplay
These PS2 games had more people playing them than Concord 🤣🤣
I'm surprised people still play PS2 online, since online gaming wasn't as popular back in 6th generation of consoles compared 7th generation.
i was personally too poor to even have internet back then
I just never been thought of it being a possibility tbh. Until I got an OG Xbox and got the wireless adaptor they offered I never gamed on a console.
A game that in the PS2 version does not have an online version but nowadays people play online via emulator and even compete in championships is Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3. A channel that shows this well is TH-camr Marlon Chaves, he is Brazilian
@@pixeldokka Do you know if they play using xlink Kai? Thank you for letting us know!!
@@MAWK3 idk :/ maybe the channel made a tutorial video..
@@MAWK3 youtube.com/@marlonchavesmcr?si=nqKfmem4WDCgFoLz the channel here 🔥🔥🔥
@@pixeldokka ill look into though, thanks man!
Tribes AA was one of the funnest communities in gaming back in the day.
27:11 I love seeing my car with ps2 graphics, its such a vibe.
Dude me too! I imported my EP3 from Japan a few years ago. Best car I have ever owned.
@@MAWK3 hell yeah brother, that's sick.
Oh man, when i was 15 i used to play Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition every Day!...i even still remember some of the Names of the People i played with. Good Times.
I have heard many people pronounce Espresso as Expresso, but Exspecially is a new one
23:23 Legend of Zelda: Orchery and time
@@trollloloololooo oh fucking kill me
Keep it up MAWK3, you're videos are awesome and you put it so much effort into researching and getting you're own gameplay footage. Slowly but surely your channel will grow, you definitely deserve a lot more subs than you have right now. 🤞🤞🤞
Thank you so much for the kind words man! It really means a lot 🙏
Damn I’m so lucky I found this channel by randomly falling asleep to a asmon video 😂 thanks for the nostalgia and information keep up the outstanding work and content
I definitely need to play Battlefront 2 on the PS2 again, it’s amazing to even find 5 people on it in 2024!!
Amazing video brethren you killed it once again! Proud of you 😁💯🔥✨
SOCOM 1 and 2 were so awesome. I liked Killzone as well. Tribes AA was the first game I played online on the PS2. That and SOCOM were my favorites. I enjoyed Hardware Online Arena as well. Too bad it’s not on this list, maybe it hasn’t been revived yet?
In Europe I participated in so much beta tests. Always fun when you got a beta disc in the mail. SLAI was a very interesting mech brawler with lots of customization options but I remember it to be incredibly hard to advance in.
Once I get my HDD adapter ima be on Socom for sure 🔥 I just might be alone 😅
I got socom 1 but no-ones on it
@@adamp5825 I haven’t been able to get any DNS servers that work for any of the ps2 games. I think it’s an issue when playing from internal HDD vs the actual game disc
Always a good day when MAWK3 uploads, Another great video and i'm sad i don't have my PS2 around (currently getting repaired), I would have loved to play MGO and a couple other games but i feel like there wouldn't be many players at EU/Asia region, Keep on trucking my friend!
@TheDudeWithNoName Thank you brother as always! It still worth checking out regardless 😁
Nice editing on the intro 👌
Tribes is an amazing game! Highly recommended ❤
Finest hour campaign bring back so much nostalgia
That's great to see online on ps2 still working..and thank you for making this great list...and I hope you find us psp and psvia games that work online in the future...and thank you again
Up your arsenal was my first experience with online gaming way back when. Glad to see people are still doing their thing on it
I recommend you checking out "Motorstorm Arctic Edge" in the next revision.
The amount of effort that went into this video is crazy! Great video man!
Thanks a ton! 🙏
I love the fact that Gran Turismo 4 had the odd cars that's what made it special I would also like to know if there is people playing Killzone on PS3
Totally love your channel man!
I used the play the demo of Conflict: Global Terror on PS2 back in the days on loop, so much memories.
Thanks man!
Thank you dude! Apreicate the support 🙏
Nfsu2, lotr return of the king, and thps2 were my go to games back in the day for online play
Love ur videos about the ps2 and ps3
@@ozymandias96 🙏
Resident Evil Outbreak is lots of fun if you can get some friends together. It plays like an escape room game, and it doesn't get dull on multiple playthroughs.
Really enjoying these types of videos keep it up bro
I still play Socom 2 online often.. also MGS4 Online & Socom Confrontation on PS3 🔥
Release v1.0.2 of the Unofficial Update Mod for Star Wars Battlefront II on PS2. Adds a recreation of the content from the Xbox DLC along with CW Hoth, CW Endor, GCW Geonosis, a few additional hunt modes, and Hero Assault (Heroes vs Villains) on every map, along with a slightly expanded Galactic Conquest. Also patched for SWBFSpy multiplayer.
That sounds crazy lowkey
@noaharkadedelgado i played it via emulator online and it worked also played on console but I don't have the net adapter lol
I never got to play the PS2 online when I was a kid because we had shitty dial-up internet, so I didn’t start playing online until I got a PS3. I am very interested in going back and playing some of these and seeing what it’s like
Great video tho, I was wondering whne you'd do the playstation 2
Thank you so much for making this video ,
Anytime!!
Hi bro! Great job as always! Thanks a lot for remembering me!
Of course!
which song did you use at the beginning of the video because I LOVE IT
Bullworth Academy theme I think
It's surreal just seeing footage of PS2 online modes. I'm sure barely anybody recorded footage of these games during their heyday. Without these modders, these games would just be relegated to folktales.
love the intro! ha thanks for the shoutouts, everyone is welcome to play splinter cell chaos theory with us. appreciate your work 🥷
Amazing video mate! Keep up the content
You deserve more subs bro!
Thank you bro!!
STG! I thought that intro was a new Larry June Song, lol.
Imma have to get back on bf2!!! Man did i have fun in that game as a kid! So many fun glitches too!
