et since september 2004

Since ET after downloaded that fueldump beta/demo thing.

UT99 somewhere in late ~2000-2003 (Clan died in 2003)
Diablo2 ~December 2000-2004 and 2007-2008
Runescape 2001-2004 (Release of Rs2)
ET - September 2003 - ?

And some 3D chat program in 99-2002 :x

Gonna say since RtCW it was my first real taste of online gaming. I remember buying it when it came out and struggled through playing it online with my 56k connection, although I persevered. It wasn't until I got a DSL connection that I started playing in a clan which would've been about a year and a half after release.

Played a few network games of Championship Manager around ~99, I don't know if I'd really count that though.

Since ET really, cause I was so young when RTCW came out, and started ET right away when it
came out =]

Q3 CTF instagib since like 02~ish

I remember my brother mentioning RTCW to me when we saw an advert somewhere after it was just released but I took no notice of it until ET came out.

i think d2 was the first game i was playing online.

ohh if that counts then I should've switched my vote -.-

gaming related, I remember playing doom with my cousin when I was 5 or so.

there is the final stage when u go to hell where monsters spawn endlessly and you lose god mode if u had one on, I was spinning and holding the shoot button while my cousin kept writing IDDQD and IDKFA all the time, we kept doing this for about 20 minutes or so till we gave up. there was no winning doom and we learned it the hard way :D

lol, same, doom was so scary and i could only enjoy it if my cousin was there, else i was too scared and such xD he walked and i shooted, it was sooo fun

NAKATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

2001 summer and UT
before that just LANs with friends .. GTA and other games

I started in quake 1 in very first internet caffe in my town (I hadn't had broadband up to 2005).
It must have been 1999/2000 .... It was lan only.And then I tried QUAKE 2 as well ,Unreal ,
QUAKE 3,Unreal Tournament,a bit of Nintendo 64 Goldeneye. Cafe had been closed in 2002/2003 when broadband became more popular and cheaper. One of mine friend from town
bought RTCW and became very good (IRON CROSS clan ) . He made a lan connection with
his 4 neighbours (he had broadband as the only one) and we played a lil bit but he bashed us all :D I decided to own him so I got myself a copy of ET with bots.... And I bought DIAL UP
modem. After my mother had seen first telephone bill she decided to invest int broadband DSL.

And that's how I started playing at home.Before LAN only or bots.
Basicly I always liked to play against people but never had a chance before as BROADBAND was extremely expensive in poland . It still is .

Talking about online,

Soldier of Fortune 2 MP demo @ friends ->

When got internetings at home SoF2 MP Demo, but as my abroad internet was dead, didn't play it much as no latvian scene was present ->

Some delicious Counter Strike, was p0wning local pubs so HARD that got banned shit loads of time for cheating* ->

Got RTCW, as I was very interested in it after playing single player and checking MP on empty server long time before I got internet, joined latvian server, where 1 player was running around on mp_beach :)

- *VERY interesting story warning*, some guys were putting new plastic windows in my room while i was playing CS and raging local-city public, so I get banned for cheating, and exactly at that time one of the guys who was putting in windows comes over and asks what i am playing, so i say "LOl i play CS but WTFOMG got banned for cheating ARGHH", so the guy asks "which server?" i reply that our finest local one, and as it turns out the guy is admin of that server, he asks for a phone, calls to local computer-club and says "WTF UNBAN LAN-PROOVEN", so i got unbanned...for a whole week till some other admin banned me again :(

lol :D Best proof ever ...embarassment for whoever banned you.

Parent

:P

but me since runescape 2 + ET

Parent

Before reading till the end I first thought that the guy who was setting your plastic window took your PC, installed cheats, played some cs and got banned. 8-DDD

Parent

That may happen only in ET.

Parent

made me LOL :D

FO REAL been playing since september 2004 when I got adsl, started pubbing ET(although I pubbed it also once, twice a month on 56k for like 4-5 months), got in a clan after a year

but played ut and random games @ 56k(which was actually 33.6k on a good day)

Hmm I think I started playing the RTCW mp demo (the very first one with the nadebug). After that I played Jedi Knight 2. Like a year. Then it was ET and Moh:aa at the same time for about 3 years.

Battlefield 1942, started in 2003

Started with CS in 2000.

Bought RTCW Gold edition from a local Game in Newcastle, it was £10 and had two discs. Played through and finished the single player and tried to play the multi-player, couldn't get it to work so I popped in the second disc which had Enemy Territory. Worked straight away and I played full dump literally none stop because I loved to snipe. Got a new PC (laptop) and I could get decent enough FPS to start playing properly.

Before that the only PC games I played were city building games by Sierra, Championship Manager (how my nickname came about) and Unreal tournament 99 (Game of the year edition) which my neighbor lent me when I said I got a PC, though only against bots/offline.

I didn't start using computers or the internet until really late anyway so, probably somewhere in 2005. Bit-tech says I registered on 24-02-2005, which is the oldest website I remember using bar my email (Yahoo).

If I can't count LAN-games, ET is the only game I've played online, starting from 2003.

MOHAA FTW! xD

5 years playing

since late 2001 baby!

Talking about online games it was somewhen around 1999-2000 with those Command & Conquer games, Age of Empires etc.

First online shooter was BF42 in 2001, followed by ET in 2003.

Since 2001 with gangsters 2 and my first internet.

I just got broadband and played Tony Hawk 3 online on the pc, that was in 2002. Later on I bought a gamesmagazine which had those demo discs, and the full install of ET was on it. Installed it, played it and I didn't like it so removed it again, then couple of months later I tried it again and got hooked. :O)

I started playing online in the middle of 2005 . Wolfenstein Enemy Territory was my first real game i played via Internet

I've started playing ET back in 2003, then switched to Lineage 2 (I regret that, I really really do) and some other single player games , then back to ET in 2006.

l2>et

Parent

ET JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Starcraft back in 1998, dont even think broodwars was out back then. Got rushed everytime and quitted the game cause they were lame and shouldnt be rushing :DDDDDD

2000 with Quake 3
senseless pub playing after spending like 3 hours in the toggo.de chat every day :/

Voted ET but years before that I played Q2 on 56k online. Grenade launcher and a nice secret hiding place > *

2001 Some WWF Online trading card game :o
2002, AoE2

Wolfenstein ET ,since December 2006

started with mu-online:D

started with q2 , ut99 , cs and some other games
started playing competitions with urt & et

started with some UT and CoD single player for fun,
first and only online game: ET

started gaming 20 years ago when i was 16 or so. Played SOF, Half-Life, CS 1.6, RTCW, ET, COD, DOOM, DUNE, MOH, FEAR and whatever you can think of.

Thats the advantage of being old :P

Since the release from Call Of Duty and Call Of Duty: United Offensive. Also my first competive game which I started playing. Was great fun in those game.

started with q2

I remember playing AoE and Black Hawk Down on 56k :D, but voted for ET - thats when i got broadband and could actually play properly.

Since Mohaa:SH, then ET right when it was out...

since MoHaa :P / RtCW dunno which was first

wolf 3d

and still the best game out there by far

Since 2000.

Started with Action Quake 2, 2002 I switched to CS for about a year, then ET was released in 2003 and played that untill 2007. Been playing CoD4 since it was released previous fall.

ET since the beginning of 2006

Deus Ex / Serious Sam then RTCW on release

fun gaming since 2000. Quake 3 is damn evergreen.

Total Annihilation - since 1997, still playing it sometimes. Never online though :) Still one of my favourite games
ET - started Winter 2003
RtCW - started Autumn 2005 (for a few periods in competition)
Quake 3 - started Summer 2005 (mostly OSP at first, moved to CPMA shortly after)
Quake 4 - started Spring 2007, but lost motivation to practice
World of Warcraft - Summer 2006 until 2007, but ET kept me from pursuing
Medal of Honor - Before 2003, but deleted almost immediately after. Did play some Spearhead this summer but was boring (the top level in spearhead is camp+shoot and nearly no aiming skill is involved)
Call of Duty 2 - since december 2006 I think, never really liked the game that much

And in the first public release of warsow I used to practice that a lot as well, but I moved to cpma shortly after, didnt like wsw movement :)

That's about it I think. I also played a few other games online (QuakeWorld and Quake 2, Diablo 2, counterstrike, etc) but most of them weren't serious or anything.

Played various of games before that which my older brother brought home from LAN parties, such as Counterstrike, Battlefield, et cetera. Also played Medal of Honor before ET but got boring.

lol Total Anhilation :D best game ever !

Parent

started to play CS at puplic -00
dod - since relase
ET - ~ since relase

+ Played some funny games with atari @ -93 ? or something. Then started to play doom @ -95 and then some noob games wich I cant remeber.

Played original StarCraft around 1999/2000.

But I played Nibbles and Scorched Earth multplayer long before that. :)

Starcraft, Quake, Quake 2 - all proved that I suck at those games. Played a bit of RtCW but my PC wasn't up to the task. Got new PC in time of ET, and played more or less it since then.

start of et.

but then played some rtcw instead of et.

my first online game was battezone @ 1998 and later started to play Quake 3 (instagib, defrag, Ra3 etc.) and 2004 started to play ET.. also been playing warsow since 2006.
so i have been playing online for 10 years

since Jedi Knight 2

played against FlixX some 2o2s in jkja back in the day !111 :D

Doom over a poor dial-up connection. Quake was what really started things off for me though. Never really played Quake II and III, but picked up gaming again with the release of RTCW and continued over to ET. Inactive/retired(?) now on account of more important committments.

Since mohaa 2003

Doom on company LAN (NetWare, no MS Windows networks back then) 1995-1996.

I see S3ti & topher are only other non-n00bs here.

Edit: Any1 remember "Wolfenstain 3D", game which preceded RTCW and gave it it's name? It was so much fun to play.

QW and SC ftw :P

I played SoF multidemo around 2002 (Does anyoine remember the server called "The Great Milenko" then et in 2003 december

I voted since Et anyway.

Command and Conquer 56k Modem :) (286 Dx66 PC)
1st FPS Shootem up: Command and Conquer renegade (multiplayer) 2002 on 128k ISDN

W:ET, since early 2004. Was the first online shooter I really liked, because of the objective driven gameplay and the teamplay. I liked it how teammates gave you ammunition and revived you, and how you all had to work for a common goal, instead of everybody for himself. Once I got the "3 hs = kill - thing", it became totally addictive. I have tried a lot of other online - shooters (BF2 was the worst, what a grab into the toilet that game is when it comes to shooting...), but none came close to the aiming and movement of W:ET (except of course RtCW), which is still my favorite shooter (I just bought RtCW recently). All I need is a graphical update, maybe a revival of the faster and purer RtCW gameplay, and some minor improvements (like the better orientation and the objective status bar in ET:QW). I hope "Wolfenstein" will deliver...

The first fps I played was of course Doom at the age of 11 - 12, and the first pc game I ever played for a longer time was the jump & run "Commander Keen" at the age of 8. Funny, all the memorable games in my life are from ID.

CS on 56k 1999 smth :>

Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis
