First online FPS to get you hooked?

What was the first online FPS that REALLY got you hooked?

For me it was Quake1, the gameplay was wicked, the atmosphere was fantastic and it was just a real blast online that game.

I still remember the day it came out and spending all night with a friend rocking deathmatch till 4am, good times :P

Since then though no other deathmatch type online FPS have got me that hooked, mainly like more teambased/objective based shooters now, but I tell ya, that Quake 1 sure was a beauty for onlien FPS action when it first came out :P

For some reason Quake 1 was also the last Deathmatch oriented online FPS that I really fell in love with, now a days I prefer teambased/objective based onlien FPS to death match ones, but I cant front.. Quake 1 had me hooked for a good long time :P

So what about all you? What online FPS game did you really really enjoy?

Counter Strike (The very first version). I remember playing countless hours late at night despite the pay per minute connection I used to have.

Yea, I still remember one of my favourite maps was cs_siege

Counter-strike.

Counter Strike no doubt.

Dark Forces. :)

I know it's a Doom clone but we didn't even have Doom and when we did have it I could care less because this game was a whole lot better in my young little mind. :oops:

For me it was Quake 2, while I did play Quake 1, the pacing, weapons and maps just did not appeal to me.

Quake 2s map designs, weapons, and overall change in pasing, and movement, had me hooked instantly.

Heck I prefer Quake 2 over quake 3 BY FAR still.

I have a feeling most people answering this topic will go with an id title, or maybe the old Unreal titles (Epics Unreal would be my end choice)

Battlefield 1942.

Quake 3. I played the single player to death until I moved to a city with a fast enough connection to play online. Now I'm totally addicted to Quake Live, so not much has changed. Worst of all, the Quakecon tournaments are streaming throughout one of the hottest weekends we've had this year, so I'm almost literally glued to my leather chair until it's all over.

COD1. I'm still upset at all the changes made to the original formula.

BFBC 2

Allied Assault. I remember having no responsibilities as a kid, just coming home after school and playing for hours on end. Then I lent the CD/CD key to all of my friends and we played online multiplayer together :P. I think AA replaced what would have been my Counter Strike era, when all my friends were playing it.

I still think EA should pull its head out of its ass and issue a remaster/remake of AA as a standalone multiplayer game.

PC... Call of Duty 4, before then I wasn't really into online for FPS games.

I think it was the original Unreal Tournament.

CS 1.6, waaay back in elementary and middle school, every day in the lan cafe. UT2k4 too, but DotA and L2 quickly rose in popularity in lan cafe communities here, and they overshadowed FPS games, so up till BFBC2 I hadn't played online FPS in years.

Battlefield 2.

Still no other game like it. BF3 will be BF's rightful return to the online FPS throne.

UT99 for sure. Loved that game to death and still play it from time to time today. :D

Battlefield 2 in 8th grade. I would play it immedietly when I got home from school during the winter. Good times..that's why I'm so pumped for Battlefield 3.

BF1942 Desert Combat mod.

America's Army : Special Forces. I played the hell out of that game. SF_KiLLaMaN

Hell yeah. I played from around 1.7 all the way till 2.85. Even downloaded it again 2 weeks ago to play it again. It blew my mind that it wasnt just about running around and shooting. I actually had to think, and the best way to rack up the kills wasnt even being a better shot, but outsmarting the enemy, the rushes, etc. Ahh.... I wish there were more games like that. Best thing was it was all free. Spent money on the battlefields, call of dutys, and counterstrikes, but they didnt keep me immersed like AAO did. I know a lot of people are into arma, while arma is pretty cool, I really miss the close quarters combat of americas army, as well as the mid range maps, such as bridge crossing, weapons cache, SF hospital, border, FLS assault, etc.

Man, even on a map like Bridge Crossing it feels like so much thought went into the map design, such as Assault starts futher away from the bridge, so they cant rush fast, but they get 1 m203, and defense starts closer, so they can rush up and defend faster, but have to watch out for that 203. Really miss that. Too bad 3.0 is a clunky piece of crap.

Halo

Call of Duty 1. Haven't really gotten hooked on multiplayer for any other FPS, but I'm exited about Red Orchestra 2.

Halo - but it's trial version (that 140 mb demo which is still available) :P

Quake 2, mainly played via Heat.net

Call of Duty 2 and Red Orchestra. Not sure which one was first.

omg Quake 1 & 2 , my best FPS multiplayer , man this is too long ago , wow u remind me in a nice days

Unreal Tournament 2004... I had dial-up until the end of 2005.

COD1 - That game was amazing, then UO expansion came out and it was still amazing, then COD2 came out still great. Then it went downhill from there.

Counter Strike Source though gets a mention as it gave me hours of entertainment playing the Zombie mode.

GLquake

I didnt get internet until the late '90s, and I loved playing Team Fortress Classic on my 36.6k modem :D Sniping was so much fun, that red laser dot would lag behind your crosshairs and you had to "lasso" it onto someones head...that took skill.

Unreal Tournament!

Tribes, hope the new one turns out really well.

Bf2, 1943 got me back into fps
