In a year chock-full of great multiplayer experiences like Supreme Commander, Call of Duty 4, and World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade, to name a few, the Best Multiplayer Award was a contentious subject among the editors. After much debate, we eventually settled on Team Fortress 2.
It not only captured more of our collective multiplayer time than any other game but also brought us night after night of pure joy. TF2 delivers in every way that is important, allowing you to torch an entire scout rush with a pyro, build a turret that takes out the whole other team, or simply heal your pals so they can keep fighting.
With nine very different classes, each with its own specialty and Achilles’ heel, there are literally thousands of strategies to master in the game’s six maps. And at no time did the limited selection of maps feel limited. Oh no. The game’s sublime balance and exquisite design would have made a single map sufficient as long as it was 2fort.
