Forums - Gaming - Old online gaming moments you'll never forget

Let's stick with some of your first great online gaming moments that will stick with you for life. 

The ps3 was my first online console,  and I signed up to psn in 2008 to play call of duty 4 online.  Back when it was the shit.

So playing in a random lobby these two guys on my team ask if I want to see a glitch to get out of the map. I say yes of course.  We were on that map bloc,  the one in chernoble. At the back of it,  the opposite side to where the swimming pool was. 

So anyway they tell me the glitch after following them to the spot.  I have to jump up and down,  spin around a few times before chucking my grenades over the wall (any guess whats going on yet?). 

Next step,  one of the lads go prone,  lying into a corner against a barrel placed there.  They tell me to jump on his back and as he stands up jump over the barrel.  So I duly proceed eager to do this out of map glitch.  

I jump on his back,  he stands up and I jump over the barrel into the corner.  Cool,  didn't think I could get here before but I want to know what's next.  The two lads start laughing,  say "see ya" as they turn and run away.  

I'm a little bit confused. So I try jumping up to get out but I'm stuck.  Can't get back over the barrel. I press R2 to cook my grenade to kill myself and respawn but alas they fooled me into throwing them away. 

So now I either stand stuck in a corner for the rest of the game or I quit back to the main menu.  I've been proper trolled. Long before online trolling was ever a thing. Have to admit though,  I had fun doing it to others after that.

Welcome to the online world.

Promising people gold and weapons to follow me into the wilderness in Runescape just to kill them and take their shit. Man... old school RS was fun as fuck. :')



I'll never forget my first experience with Battlegrounds in World of Warcraft.

I'd just started, pretty much. I was up to level 14 or so and my friend, who had a level 60, kept telling me to try Battlegrounds but I had no confidence. But then, while I was leveling, someone jumped me--and, somehow, I won. It was a heart-pounding moment and I barely got the kill (then ran away afterwards) but I pulled it off.

So now I'm feeling a bit cocky. I might secretly be a PVP genius, right?

Because of that, my friend finally convinces me and I sign up for a Battleground, which is a PVP scenario with two equal sides. I'm all nervous and stuff but I'm ready to try my hardest. And so I die. I mean, immediately. And again. And again. At this point, I'm dying the second I spawn.

Eventually, the Battleground ends and my friend starts messaging me, asking me if I had fun. I'm furious, though, seriously feeling humiliated and crushed. I vow to never enter another Battleground and I'm thinking I suck so bad at this game that I might as well quit now. My friend is apologetic but puzzled and he asks me to describe what happens.

That brings us to realizing that my very first match was against a twink guild, which is a group of dedicated PVP players who keep their characters just low enough for the low level PVP match but they give them the absolute best weapons and armor so that they completely dominate all the new players in their quest gear.

Argh.



I'll never forget my first online experience: Super Mario Strikers Charged (Wii/2007). Just being able to play online with people around the world was a crazy concept to me, and I enjoyed a lot all those sessions, despite my terrible internet speed at the time.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Felt the same trading pokemon online in Diamond. I just couldn't believe pokemon was online. lol

Remember a match in Gears Of War when all three of my team mates were dead and the other team were all alive. I took all four of them down and won the match. It was cool

Nice. This kinda happened to me as well. I had an issue that I couldn't get my DS to connect to wifi, but once X/Y came out on 3DS and I was finally able to exchange (and battle) online I couldn't believe it.

Back when maplestory was super popular(and it was actually a multiplayer game). Played the game from when it launched to when it became dead. It's pretty much a huge part of my childhood.

Runescape was also a great game. I wonder what happened with it.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

One instance I recall in Gears of War 2, my bot friend owning two human players on his own when we all thought we had lost the round.

Also caught this snap in horde mode: four cyclops in a row. Saved it for posterity.

Back when I played Modern Warfare 2, I would work out during lobby. Once lobby was done, I would get back into the game breathing heavy and sweating and I recall the people's reactions:

"what the fuck!? what are you doing!?"

"dude! what the hell!?"

"you fucking weirdo!"

I was quick to explain that I was breathing heavy because I was in the middle of a work out, not because of some other reason. Hahahaha.

Same game, I recall as soon as I had spawned into a game, getting hit by a care package to the laughter of those around me.



I can't really remember some exact great moments of online games, but games that I enjoyed most playing online and games that I played far longest time (from 2006-until around 2010.) were BF1942 and Warcraft 3
I really think nothing can top those games for me if we talking about online games.
