ArenaNet's Guild Wars 2 will be a point of comparison for any new MMO for years to come. The studio's willingness to tweak and in some cases abolish many longstanding MMO irritations resulted in a hugely rewarding play experience. With a gigantic amount of content, from the spectacle of major cooperative world events to the fast, tense PvP arena battles to the three-faction warfare between players and siege weapons in Guild Wars 2's fantastic World versus World mode, an absolutely beautiful fantasy setting, excellent class design and plenty of free updates from ArenaNet since launch, Guild Wars 2 is one of the best MMOs ever made and the best PC game of 2012.
