Quake ]I[ was the last real multiplayer game.

Fite me.

dude, I miss lineage 2

I HIGHLY recommend Holdfast: Nations At War for the same experience nowadays. There's usually 1-2 full 150 player servers running in the browser, and you start to recognize the slaughterers and shitters over time.

It's a Napoleonic era musket shooting game with locational open VC that gives bonuses for teamwork and line-firing. Recently I've been talking mad shit in a ridiculous accent matching whatever faction I'm playing at the time, and people are now recognizing my name, which is kinda warming :)

I had a very similar experience a few years ago with Tannenberg. An eastern front WW1 shooter that, at least at the time, I don't know the current status, had just enough players in the evening to fill up one server, so I'd play with the same people night after night. It never felt empty because of that and it was great fun.

Gamespy back in the day. Could make core friends and join the same servers across games.

Hmm, it's pretty much the same as 15 years ago if you stay away from the smallest common denominator popular AAA games.

I've started playing squad again after my last try in 2020. I just favourited a couple of low ping well populated servers and have been playing on the same three or four that are working well.

War of rights only has around 150 players in the evening on public servers and they all enter the same one as this game is meant to be played in large squads as well.

Both games are great fun.

Private servers are good for building a community (I know, we all have fond memories, mine is SWJKA, especially in the later, JK+ times), but they fail to put players into skill brackets, meaning that if you enter the game later or don't spend your entire life playing it, you'll eventually fall off as pros will insta-kill you everywhere.

:(

Just play Mordhau. Playerbase is small enough that you'll see the same people over and over again.

I used to roleplay as a pirate, pickpocket, swindler, and ladies man; laughably incompetent at them all, under this username in a tiny, indie RPG called Rubies of Eventide. I was never a strong player, but I got a reputation for funny in-game banter. Playing a different kind of person enabled me to punch above my weight in social skills.

New Feature Idea: A New Subscription to bring back those features.

Stop paying? Well you lose access to your friend list.

Day of Defeat <3

There are definitely games that allow the first scenario to happen(by allowing people to host servers or by not having many players)

COD 2 Rifle only 🫡

Anyone remember PlayStations All-stars, Sony's shitty answer to Smash Bros? My lame claim to fame is I had one of the nastiest Heihachis in the scene. Always played in purple thong. Saw people mention me a few times in forums.

Game was bad and hachi kinda busted, but seemingly only a few of us who ever got real nasty with it. Kinda fun just being a monster on that silly game and showing off maximum old man butt.

There's this guy so damn good with the Kraber on Titanfall l 2 Northstar on my server I never was able to kill him ...
