It was another time, far more enjoyable than today's gaming.
Unfortunately my best friend at the time ended up joining the military and dying for the ZOG.
After Xbox we upgraded to lan parties, a friend had two spare living rooms in their mcmansion and every month hosted with a dozen of us competing in CS and magic the gathering.
I hear that a lot of modern multiplayer games are doing away with the ability to chat because of players crying about hurt feelings.
About half of the appeal of playing these games as teenagers was fucking with your opposition. They're taking that away from us, creating generations of thin-skinned bitches. A young man learns to handle insults by getting them constantly from friends in sports/games.
Yep, now you get your IP address permabanned for saying nigger on COD. I’ll never play those games because I’ll say nigger and get banned right off the jump.
Despite that, some people are still spamming nigger on their mics. I remember trying out the latest cod beta last year, and at the end of the match some dude just kept saying "NIGGER!" repeatedly lol. All hope isn't lost just yet.
Man back in the Xbox live lobbies I'd jump in their chat or use the in game chat before the game started and put on a yank accent, talk slow and retarded and go on and on about donuts and cheeseburgers and then jump out. Then we'd slaughter them. Funny stuff. Id probably get jailed now.
Or congratulating the enemy on a good play or kill. I came back to a game and the inability to chat anymore was such a stark glaring gayness I never played it again.
Heh, I literally would hunt out my best friend and kill him in CS, and in MTG I would build decks to beat him specifically. It was wonderful fun to have a rival, to shit talk non-stop, and to get out aggression.

I feel ya man. Back around mid 2000's One of my older brothers lived in a couple of huge houses with the same bunch of guys. They had the entire lounge and co-joined living room set up with like 10 or more complete gaming rigs and accessories (two screens each PC bla bla ) and literally was like walking into a gaming cafe - i used to go over every day for several months and play online etc while older bro was at work. Massive epic lan battles - good times whelp.
I miss our lan parties. We would run Ethernet cable to three different apartments in the same building and we'd have 12 of the 16 people for big team slayer all local. Each apartment would have like 6 guys in it swapping between playing and cooking food and hanging out with actual girls.
Yes, back in the day not only you interact face to face with another male on Halo night, you could interact with actual women. Video games were the opposite of isolating.

After playing a few games in multiplayer (GTA 5 online was the last) I only play single player now. It's all niggers and retards out there. On the PS4, set your MTU to around 700 and no one else enters your lobby.
My friend made a cardboard setup so that the top player would be on the bed and the bottom player would stay on the floor so you could only barely see what the other guy was doing in that Bond 007 game.
Iam just pissed i missed out on Hl1 quake 1,2,3 multi in their heyday because Australia didn't have widespread broadband and the dialup was shit at my house, meanwhile my friend a few streets over got 130ping at night playing dialup online.
At least i got to go to some massive lan parties but even then all people wanted to play was counterstrike instead of arena shooters.

Then we had smash on GC, halo on Xbox and it was glorious.
Now nintendo is associated with soys, Xbox with fat incels, playstation with weebs and steam with even fat faggots and no more local play.
