Yeah it's weird that they kinna died with Quake 3 so long ago.

I guess most players these days enjoy being able to rack up kills on anyone without having to have much skill or practice in modern shooters. Back in the deathmatch days, if you were a newbie, it DID suck rear end to log in to a server and get completely owned non stop for hours while trying to learn the game.

My first real online gaming experience in Quake 2 went something like this when I finally joined and loaded the server map:

Spawn to see a guy with the human male model somehow blended with the strogg infantry skin jumping towards me with a rocket launcher, then freezing in mid air. The ominous brown "unplugged" connection problem symbol taking up the top corner of my screen. I sit there staring at it for like 5 minutes waiting for it to get going while Cow & Chicken is playing on the living room TV behind me. Every minute or so the game twitches with a quip blip of noise then freezes again.

Ahhh, dial up with AOL on Mplayer and Heat.net :allears:

i have been playing duke nukem all week, and guys: old FPS maps were kind of loving stupid.

Throwing pipe bombs into an elevator to surprise the assholes on the next floor was always fun :colbert:

Plus I always loved all that cheesy interaction poo poo you could do with the environment. And Return to Castle Wolfenstein does still rock, but gently caress that "fat wall edge" issue when sniping.
