First Person Shooters on line

[SuperDave9x19]

My discovery of Rizen being an old clan mate got me reminiscing in a big way. I would love to see if any of you have similar experiences but started a new thread cause in some minor ways a $160K win is more important than on line clan warfare.

So a few Questions:

1. What game got you started with on line First Person Shooters?

2. What games /gametypes did you play the most during what timeframe?

3. Did you Play in an organized clan?

4. What Names did you play as?


I will start:

1. I started out playing LAN matches with Doom2 at work then Heretic and Hexen on line on a 486/50 with 340MB HD but progressed immediately to Quake on line as soon as I got a smokin Pentium MMX 200MHz Machine with 64 MB RAM and a 6 GB hard Drive. Quake2 was out soon after i got the 200MMX. I thought that 6 GB was essentially infinite storage until i started downloading Quake2 Maps.

2. Early history Quake2 (mostly the Action mod) and Unreal (serpentine mod. what can i say I like modern weapons mods as much as i like shooting my own pistols n rifles) but as soon as Unreal Tournament came out that was my only game I played.

UT convinced me to buy my first Video Card and Memory upgrades ever. 1st time i ever openned a PC was to make UT better. UT lasted like 4 years (1999-2003) on line for me but i kinda of stopped playing because at first I was a skilled player on 56K when 30-50% of people had broadband but in the end i was like the OMEGA MAN on 56K cause NO ONE used it for FPSs anymore. Then i stopped.

3. We were the [AoG] (Army of Good) which was a bunch of like minded over 21 (mostly) players who despised all the cussing posing immature asswipes ruining a fine on line community. We were gentleman soldiers. We killed them on line trolling punks with guns and etiquette. We were OGL ranked at 28-35ish for a while worldwide. Then some of our younger more MAJORLY skilled guys formed a sister clan for "more serious" play and the remainder became the [4F] (For Fun) clan and actually this group was even more fun. The Friday Night Fights during this period were absolutely amazing.

When UT2004 came out I played it and UT like 50/50 but UT2K4 was even more dominated by broadband and by jerks so i slipped out of the picture overall.

4. I was SuperDave9x19 99.99% of the time except when our clan had "alias nite" when we'd all play under odd names and try to ID each other by playstyle. Or by crappy ping and I was easily IDd.

I miss it. If i ever real broadband I will do it again most likely.

Tyson and I used to play Counter-Strike every day. I used to be in a clan. I was [KORT] Xianti. My name's still up on their roster:

Then, we discovered online poker.

[a500lbgorilla]

I played cz, was never very good but I used to rock at assault as a T becuase it's impossible NOT to rock on assault as a T.

I reached the point where i knew the level so well, I could kill 3 or 4 people with a colt,deagle and grenade without seeing them or being seen. I was banned from almost every server for wallhacking even though no one had any real proof becuase there was none. I played on my crappy comp, with a shitty mouse (seriously an old tiny laptop mouse my mom gave me) and with $20 mic-headphones though I never used the mic.

I got started playing mostly Rogue Spear and Counter strike . And yea anyone can get good at Assault with T and shoot people through walls. I started to rush out on the roof and kill people still comming up the ladder or waiting outside the door, its really fun.
I played in a couple different organized clans for Counter strike and rogue spear.

[fjuanl]

started with rogue spear. other games ive played: cs, dod, dod:s, bf2, ut2k4, raven shield. had been in a few different clans but dont play as much because poker is much more fun

[vaks]

I remember i broke my arm one summer, and like i had a friend who played magic the gathering and he brought me up to this place and i saw a few kids playing counter strike and they asked me to play and ever since then........
i played counter strike since like beta 4.2 when the colt still had the scope and quit a lil after 1.0 came out since they fucked it up imo, but i still played some.
from counter strike ive played daoc, wow, was in a pk clan in daoc (have no vengence for anyone, even if there like 50 lvls lower then you, basically they say a lot of shit and are complete assholes...was a lot of fun though)

[ProZachNation]

I played CS, played in a few clans.

I am known as: ProZach<ShakeZilla>

[ake]

Quake 1 and quakeworld 1996-2000

Some quake3 after that but I never got serious about it

As you guys may have noticed, I am very immature. And right now I'm 21 years old. So imagine what I was like in 1996. This got me banned on most servers

It was lots of fun though, I played in all sorts of clans too. The swedish quake1 community wasn't very big (quakeworld was huge, but regular quake wasnt) so I was a top player in the small community, but a nobody in QW.
Ive been desperatly looking for old screenshots and demos but they're all gone

Around the same time (1998-2001) my friend owned an internet cafe and I helped him out now and then. In return he let me use the computers and internet for free. So we played lots of quake and early counterstrike there too. We had a clan at the internet cafe too but our internet wasn't that stable so we mostly played lan matches against other local clans, good fun though.

Not so long ago I tried some Q4 out, but the old skills just arent there and I decided not to get involved at all.
