too many coffees and sorting through an old hard drive and found some old d2 screenies



i think the first game i played online , with a dialup modem possibly a voodoo video card with 8 meg of ram (something like that ) was quake with the old nailgun , think it was like a 10000 ms ping to the states lol

then from that to quake 2 and diablo2 ( not sure on timeline )
throw in unreal tournament (headshot )

somewhere there spending a fortune on 32 megs of ram and getting dual voodoos to sli

from there was counterstrike and day of defeat

and playing c&c online was bloody addictive

but it was definitely quake vs other players that sewed the seeds of online gaming for me

Going way back, it was probably MUDs (early text based MMOs).

Although Quake3 really hooked me into online shooters.

Half-Life mods/add-ons: TFC first, plus some CS of course. Day of Defeat came shortly after.

Diablo 2. Still can't believe I played it that much.

Ultima Online AINEC

This was the greatest game of all time.

Diablo II was crack for me. Halflife also with TF and CS.

duels.com

that game is silly addictive, endgame is trash though.

It was still a 'fun while it lasted' experience, and was my first exploration into proper hardcore online gaming.

MUDs on ye olde telnet.
Good times.

CS started , then day of defeat my god that was such a good game use to play hrs everyday for weeks , i was a absolute monster with the sniper on the american side , you if manage to see me you have 1 second before i kill u , was in a pretty good clan as wel. ,

EQ

a MUD called "ursurper" on an old direct dial BBS in town.

who needs the www?

circa 1990 i think

Some beta of Day Of Defeat, a Halflife-Mod got me hooked. Counter-Strike, Battlefield1942 followed.

unreal tournament for dreamcast was my favorite, it was the only fps i was good at, then seganet died

also ra2 and wc3

Warcraft II. I wasted a LOT of time playing that game. Jesus. Played it everywhere too, MSN Zone, Heat, Kali, b.net. But B.net kinda killed the game, introducing fastest game speed. EF for life!

Quake 2. So many fun mods. I liked the gameplay a lot more than the first Quake, which is why I got into it a lot more.

Yeah, I was a L.O.R.D. guy, Doom II was HUGE, but I didn't get as much into FPS's until I got broadband, so probably more likely Unreal Tournament for me.

I think if Sega would have made the eternet adapter standard for the DC, it could have been huge. Such a great console, sucks that it was so easy to pirate.

Quake I + Team Fortress.

Starcraft, closely followed by TFC and CS.


Although this could be the real answer if I go back far enough:

gemstone 3 on aol...lol

half life and then return to castle wolfenstein where the first two that i spent significant time playing online

I play on a team that plays in the EASHL. We play with at least 4 players and we each play the same position every game. I am Mike Gallo I play defense and I wear no 24.

I have not attained Legend status yet. 105 games play A- stats. I have over 105 games however my overall rating is only a B-.

TFC got me hooked back in the 28k modem days. 56k was OMG SICK i'm getting 300 ping or w/e haha

+ infinity

Me too. Specifically, Rocket Arena 2. I spent a lot of time on that game.

Now I play TF2 Arena, which is an acceptable replacement for me!
