2009-2013Xbox 360 was the best online gaming community to ever exist and nothing has topped it ever since
>>738977768Xbox Live peaked between 2004 and 2014You had to be there for Halo 2, Gears of War, Halo 3, CoD4, Gears of War 2, World at War, Modern Warfare 2, Reach, Black Ops, Gears of War 3, Black Ops 2
>>738978245It was peak gamingI can’t think of any other gaming communities that even came close to the vibe/culture I don’t even think peak PS3 had much going for it outside of MW2 - Xbox had call of duty and amazing exclusives like GoW and Halo that were some of the best multiplayer experiences in gaming (especially Halo). Custom games halo 3 & reach are peak gaming culture

Bungie was going to drop 4v4 and BTB multiplayer as it existed in CE and Max Hoberman stepped in to advocate for those and had to save them, and since the rest of Bungie was so focused on fixing the iffy development of the campaign, they just let Max and like one other guy handle the multiplayer entirely and then rest of the studio never got around to making Warfare lmaoJason wanted a big 32-player mode, but after a year it was still just an idea on paper, because he was distracted deving everything but H2, (the more things change)Max Hoberman begged for resources and built “the party game” we now know as H2/H3/Reach multiplayer.He also designed the Reach DLC maps and most of the Halo 4 maps.
Microsoft should make online multiplayer free it's the only way to come back, they can still charge for gamepass.
>>738977768>introduced paid onlineLOL
>>738979857>paid online filters normies and hackersuhhh based?
Anything after the S model was released was shit.
>>738977768Let me guess, when you were a child/teen
>>738979397Xbox's problem isn't hardware.

>2009 was peak gaming >Picrel is 2007
Online console gaming was, is, and forever will be complete trash compared to PC gaming. The wave of tech illiterate, destitute, illiterate retards that came from console gaming did just as much damage to the web as phones.
>>738981392Xbox 360 kids don't realize how bad P2P matchmaking, Xbox Live Gold, Microsoft Points, and Games for Windows Live were until Steam saved us
>>738981197>Tranime pretending it knows anything Incredible

>>738981815Speaking of. I find it really fucking funny how "you wouldn't survive a cod lobby" is something people actually say.When the average cod lobby was like what you said, plus getting ear raped by some guy having the fan blowing on the mic and another seemingly deepthroating it.
>>738982303Because people weren't insta muted when they said nigger cunt bitch whore faggot retard, and muting people yourself was a forbidden technique.
>>738982303Classic experience playing search and destroy with some guy blasting credence clearwater revival band as he sits next to a tesla coil while also somehow swimming under water
>>738979928Naa, MW2 and BFBC2 on PS3 were kino cause everyone could play online and not just paypigs.
>>738982960Yeah, and people like you made the web trash with your destitute behaviour. You are insufferable and on par with phone posters.
>log onto a multiplayer PC game with console crossplay>juangarcia2k14 is on open mic while his entire family is in the living room shouting and the baby is crying and their chihuahua is barkingconsole gamers are subhuman
>>738983630Don't forget>family in the background somehow more clear than the guy with the headset on his head
>>738984354You guys didn’t have the culture and funny moments we did - we built really cool communities on Xbox and had the interesting games to sustain the community long term Whatever good multiplayer ps3 games there were, Xbox probably had it if it was worth playing and probably had a more vibrant community to go along with it PS3 had nothing like halo 3 custom game culture - not even close
>>738980081Ya but it has nothing to do with the nostalgia Multiplayer (and single player) games were made well and had the fun and unique communities to go along with them
>>738986970Keep dreaming about your glory days Xlet. I game on PC now and online is still free. Will never be a paypig to use my own internet.
