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

Oh! This reminds me back when playing the Gears of War 3 beta, I spawned into the game on the COG's side with a Locust Horde skin. Of course my teammates were trying to kill me so I knew they were seeing what I was seeing and I was trying to kill them back too. No effect. Because of that, I was able to infiltrate the opponent's side and blast them with my shotgun when they least expected it.

One instant, they had an ally standing right behind them. The next instant they were mince meat.

Oh the hilarity!

Some years back I played Battlefield and didn't have a headset. Met some random dude there who also didn't use a headset. So we couldn't talk. But we still could communicate! We nodded heads, drew patterns with bullets on the walls and stuff like that and we understood each other surprisingly well! We kept on playing for hours and always stayed together and never changed a single word. We didn't even write a message or something. We communicated without words. It was fun as hell. I still wonder to this day who this guy might have been. We worked better as a team than many many other guys I played with while using a headset.

My first online experience was in FS3. Dial up modem, direct pc to pc connection, 1988.
I was at home, my friend in his father's practice (family doctor). Ofcourse while connected we couldn't communicate. Yet it was still magical to see that other plane in the sky and follow each other around.

I had lots of great moments in Duke Nukem 3D played in the office lan. There was a map where you could hide underwater (not transparent at the time) and try to hit someone coming along based on sound, which promted them to start shooting rockets into the water and throwing pipe bombs. Very hectic game of predicting where the other person thought you were.
It also had a level with an elevator to the top of the building with a few good power ups. Yet the call button at the bottom always directly reversed the elevator back down. The battles for the elevator were pure awesomeness. Trip wires, trying to hide in a corner in the elevator, chugging a pipe bom in it, rush out with a shotgun, send a rocket in as the doors open. So many possibilities.
Online multiplayer never managed to get close to all the lan fun we had with Duke Nukem 3D, Half-Life, Quake and Unreal Tournament.

My best oline gaming moments are from Everquest and some from WoW.
Well, once in Journey I met another player that was as interested in pushing the limits of the game as I was. While chain boosting each others flight we managed to get deep behind the scenery to explore areas you're not supposed to be. That was pretty special. Never knew who it was.



That moment when you remember Socom 2 online and you can't bring the good ole times back



I was playing online a hefty amount from 1998 to roughly 2012. I have tons and tons of memories. Epic wins, heartbreking losses and laughable moments. I truly had a blast.

I was quite good at WC3 and remember beating Intox 5 times straight in custom games. A week after, he went on to win CPL in Cannes abusing the AoW strategy to the max.

Quakeworld, Starcraft, Warcraft 3 took up most of my time.

Halo 2, one of the bigger tournaments in Germany back then, playing CTF in the semi finals on Zanzibar our flag gets stolen very early in the game and is outside the base. We thought we lost already but a team-mate gets behind the turret and kills the whole team trying to get the flag. Not once, but for five minutes straight, they touched it and he keeps on killing them. We covered him and the other team could not get the flag at all. We won and played the final.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

First experience: 1999 playing Action Quake 2 (before CS was even a thing) on a 33,6 kbps connection

Best experience: 2008-2009 playing WoW TBC/WoTLK with friends



Playing Quake on a 56k modem, and then it really got me hooked when I played Counter-Strike when it came out.



Being the leader of the Serenity Guanyin faction in 12 Sky and despite being the underdogs, we stuck it to the Jinong (top dogs), defended the Yoaguai Stone, and fended off both the Fujin and Jinong players that joined up in an attempt to "put me in my place".

Never has victory felt so sweet!

Not going to reply to anyone but read all your stories and and thoroughly enjoyed them!

Another of mine was on MW2 back in 2009. 3 glitches come to mind. We heard about this Javelin glitch about a month before it was patched and nobody knew about it. It allowed you to sprint around the map holding the big ass javelin and when you were shot dead you exploded like a suicide bomber. The javelin explosion was absolutely huge and you could easily get 3 or 4 kills at a time. we would get our whole team doing it and absolutely rip the other team to bits. They had no idea what was going on.

The second glitch involved putting on all the running and knifing perks and then holding a care package. Then run around the map and knife everyone. You could literally lunge and knife them from 20ft. On their screen you were running super fast and you were squatting and doing a weird dance animation. Making you so hard to kill. Again I knew this long before it went mainstream and got patched. It was so much fun.

The 3Rd glitch involved the care package drop killstreak. The one for 8 kills that a plane drops 4 packages. You could get unlimited drops by doing a cool trick. So I'd be at our spawn on our end of the map and literally drop hundreds of packages for my team to get an annihilate the opposition. There would always be a chopper gunner, heli and an ac 130 in the sky. Team mates were getting nukes and stealth Bombers were covering the map. It was literally reigning fire.

A 4th great memory was playing SnD with a team only equipped with riot Shields and c4. We all stuck together. It was surprisingly effective and hard to beat. Good times.
