15 Greatest Multiplayer Video Games Of The Decade (So Far)

For real: the critics who praised Overwatch as the second coming of multiplayer and happily brushed off Rainbow Six: Siege as yet another generic shooter should not be trusted. One of the most satisfying team-based online games on console ever, Siege's high risk and incredibly fast time-to-kill combat made for some of the most intense gaming gunfights I've ever been a part of.

Picking a class from a diverse and distinctive list of "operators", your introduction to Siege is at first quiet and subdued, as you're either tasked with setting up defences or running recon depending on whether you're attacking or defending. In fact, the truth is you're going to spend about 80% of your time in Ubisoft's multiplayer modern classic without firing a single shot - but its the anticipation and suspense that surrounds each flurry of gunfire that makes the game so effective.

Because once the bullets do start flying you've got to have your wits about you if you want to come out the other side unscathed. With only one life per round, every bullet counts, and using everything at your disposal - from your gadgets to the destructible environment - is essential in turning the tide of firefights.
