10 Video Games That Should Have Ditched Their Multiplayer Modes

Hands up those who even knew Batman: Arkham Origins even had a multiplayer mode? Anybody?

What could possibly go wrong with creating a third-person competitive shooter to include with a game that had become synonymous with its fluid hand-to-hand combat? It turns out that pretty much everything could and did go wrong.

The Multiplayer mode, while a nice idea on paper, was clunky and unintuitive and therefore was a subpar experience that could be found executed better elsewhere.

The game pits two teams of mercenaries against each other in a Third-Person shooter. The twist here however is that at the beginning of each game two players are selected as Batman and Robin to help take on both teams of mercenaries. The concept was a genuinely entertaining take on the Cops and Robbers or Spies vs Mercenaries multiplayer mode that had featured elsewhere previously.

Unfortunately the novel idea was not enough to save the multiplayer mode and it was understandably dropped by the series for its next entry, Arkham Knight.
