EPTIdeally, the game would be real-time and free to play, but neither of these are necessary. As long as the game is competitive and decent, and balanced around 2v2, that's good enough.
Any ideas?
Any dedicated 2v2 competitive games out there?

StarCraft 2v2 is nowhere near as competitive as 1v1, Halo is typically 4v4, LoL is 5v5, etc. So what I'm wondering is if there are any good competitive games where 2v2 is the main competitive mode of the game. We don't want a game where 2v2 is an offshoot, we want a game designed for 2v2 competition. Ideally, the game would be real-time and free to play, but neither of these are necessary. As long as the game is competitive and decent, and balanced around 2v2, that's good enough. Any ideas? Alright, so afaik the only really competive 2v2 games are RTS and mainly sc2 or scbw. However i feel you may have been mistaken in dismissing LoL out of hand. While it is indeed 5v5 when you get to ranked play you can do "solo que" as a 2 man group, thus allowing you to always play together with your freind with people that otherwise have joined solo. you will not be aginst teams, just either solo players or duo groups. But wait there is even more, the current meta game for lol calls for 3 solo lanes i.e., jungle top and mid, and one duo lane i.e., bottom. The bot lane plays with one ad (attack damage or physical dmg) carry and one support. together this is either the most important lane or 2nd most (as mid can also "carry" a team), and a well played team duo queing can be game changing. This not only would allow you to both play together but also play the same lane almost always (usually your team will let a 2 man run the bot lane if they ask, not 100% of the time....but most of the time). The downside to this plan is that you guys will either like playing carry/ support, or be forced to run solo lanes if say you like to jungle or prefer ap play of mid etc. So all in all my answer is a cop out, but i feel it's a decent one. | ||

I long for the day a 2v2 mode is taken seriously in a game. Shootmania's competitive format is 3v3 so that's kind of close. | ||

I was going to post about Street Fighter x Tekken. Definitely hit it up if you are into fighters at all, the 2v2 scene competitively and online is a considerable fraction, if not majority, of the game. I also yearn for a great game truly based around 2v2 though, in the shooter/RPG/RTS style that is. Closest I ever really felt was WoW arena, but 2v2 was so random and dumb at times compared to 3v3 (any expansion). Dark Souls DLC is going to have 2v2 matchmaking queue, friend and I are INSANELY HYPED for that. 2v2 could work really well in that game; any more and it's a clusterfuck. | ||

Probably 2v2 fighting games, or RTS may be your best bet. | ||

We've tried it. In the end, we couldn't handle having to deal with three other players on the team. We generally played mid + jungle, and we had fun, but if the other two lanes couldn't do their job, we were basically screwed. This wouldn't change if we played duo bot, either. Hence why I'm looking for a game that is 2v2, not a game where we can both play co-operatively. | ||
