>>739048979it's all unks now, it's not the same
It gave me a false idea of how good I was at shooters, I used to trash pubs in the 90 ping range. Now games are too sweaty for me so I mostly play coop with the boys and single player. Damn do I miss it.
>>739048917You play for fun.A lot of servers never ended, just forever matches that never had a real winner
people had fun instead of being brainwashed by engagement based matchmakinglosing too much? leave and join another serverwinning too much? leave and join another serverbored 5 minutes into a game? leave and do something elsethe freedom to leave the game at any time without being punished is something I miss
>>739049089>it's all people who would have been around during the period you're asking aboutZoomers really are this dumb
>>739049628ok enjoy playing with senile 500ms reaction time having, poopoo peepee diaper shitting, 50 year old unksyou and i know very well it's more fun when the lobby is filled with teenagers (and you're one yourself)
>>739049703>>739049089holy cringe
>>739050961you know i'm right
>free to look after what kind of server you want>maps, ping and such>could favorite a server >get to know peoplethis scares the AAA publisher
>>739051062I feel bad for you, you will never experience the golden age and you're doomed to play with mentally damaged retards like you
>>7390489173000 tickets/metro only/no grenades/no frag
>>739051157nice try but i already experienced the golden ageLOSER
>>739051190>coping
>>739048917You played on the couch
>>73904891724/7 2Fort TF2 and Torlan UT2004. Life was good.
>>739051263>TF2more like TF classic
>>739051219you lostreply to confirm
it was not just better, it was much better
>>739048917Instead of pressing the multiplayer button and you're playing, you press the multiplayer button, choose a server to play on and then you're playingThe down side was that playing was a two step process instead of a one step process, the upside is that if you wanted to you could pick the same server each time and potentially have a usual group to play with
>>739048917You got to play the maps and modes you wanted when you wanted and downtime was minimal. You also got to know people and it was always fun entering a server and finding bros there. Go try Arma 3 or Reforged for this experience, it's not dead only dead in mainstream games.
Getting farmed by clanfags going 62-3 every game while you had 12yo playing on their big bro's pc being complete retards
>>739051307I never liked TFC. It sat in a weird place between TF and TF2, and Goldsrc felt weird even though it was a Quake spinoff.
You could just fool around. Like finding a server that sucked full of virgins and engage in some lil trolling with wallhack, back when cheats were just click-and-play for-free gimmicks rather than a black market to support North Korean economy that requires you to ass fuck your computer at Quantum level.
>>739051190>i already experienced the golden ageGo ahead and say what it was so that I have an idea of how hard I should be laughing at you.
