Quake. I used to be obsessed with that game...
But when it came to multiplayer~ Brood War and Counter-Strike was where it was at
I recently replayed Doom 1 and 2. Still great even to this day.
Quake 2 for me, but mp didn't get real for me until CS:S... played that on dialup b/c HELL YEAH BOIS and was awesome, could only play after 7 tho because thats when the internet was free
Thought at first RPG was my thing but after Golden Eye I knew I was a FPS junky. Liked Quake a lot, liked Unreal Tournament as well but they felt too random. After I got into counter-strike a lifelong borderline obsession with FPS has consumed me
Grew up on a farm so internet wasn't an option. So I took every chance to pack my stuff up and move to friends places and lan parties. Won my first offline tournament when I was like 13 and got my first sponsor at 17, but real life kicked in around when I finished school and the team split up due to.. real... life :,(
Unreal Tournament was one that I played quite a bit of too! Except it wasn't as addicting as Counter-Strike. I think I preferred Quake Arena over it too. Whenever I think Unreal Tournament, I mainly think Unreal Engine and Deus Ex.
NICE, DOOD!!! Getting sponsored to play! You must have been really good!!! Do you play CS:GO? You should train me HUE. I'm the most undisciplined player. Hahaha ~
The reason I liked Unreal Tournament so much was because I got a CD with a PC gamer magazine that had a bug, an unlimited trail version of the game that I managed to get into the schools computer network. So we used to play it at school computers. It was an endless struggle. They found out we played, they removed it, I got **** for it, I put it back, they caught me again and so on and so on.
Sadly I quit playing seriously after 1.6. When CS:GO came out I compared it way too closely to 1.6 and since its a totally different, not better or worse just different, game than 1.6 I hated it. It took over a year for me to even take a second look, got to first Eagle rank and now its mostly fighting games. Dont have a team, dont have time to play hours and hours so I right now its just casuals
Got some nice stuff tho, stattrack AK and M4-s with +2000 kills
Hahaha! Your Unreal Tournament story reminds me of my Quake 2 story
Nothing more fun than playing on school computers!!!
Ooo!!! I only play casuals too!!! Casuals are where it's at. #casualpros. We should definitely mess around together on casuals sometime.
Only thing worth mentioning in my inventory is a Dragon Lore, which my friend has let me use for many months now
The game is rather old now, so don't expect some crazy shooter. The game actually takes quite a bit of patience to get used to, but once you get into the atmosphere and the environment... get ready to become a STALKER.

I tried so many times to get into Stalker but very could. The combination of no voice-over and almost zero tutorials just made it a confusing nightmare that didn't ever run great lol
The furthest I ever got was after the first mission, going to some bar and then having to get something from a marooned boat, only the thing I had to get was hella radiated and would just kill me before I could get it, or the other blokes guarding it would, I forget...
LOL! Yeah... 3rd world produced game lacks voice overs, and even if it did, it'd be Ukranian
STALKER is a pretty hardcore series. Takes a lot of patience and warming up to.
I actually managed to finish the first one, without any mods though.
What really bugs me is that bandits just appear from nowhere. You clear an area, go around the block, and a minute later there's another dozen of them there.
So funny - where the Wish Granter is saying things like "Иди ко мне. Ты обретёшь то, что заслуживаешь" in that deep echoey voice. I work with a bunch of Ukrainians, and one of them is female with a high pitched voice. It was so funny hearing her repeat exactly what the Wish Granter said, except in her voice )
I don't remember that part, but I haven't played the first game in 2 years or so, but I wouldn't be surprised. Glad to hear you finished the first one though. I'm going to assume you liked it enough to finish it though. The game is pretty long if you explore the area.

Yeah that caught me out a few times too... idk I always wanted to like the STALKER games, and tried with a couple of them, but just non of them did anything for me...
Hey, at least you gave it a shot! That's all that matters. The STALKER series is pretty infamous for being a love-hate relationship.
I would love for a new STALKER game with improved AI and shooting mechanics... Just needs polishing~ That would automatically become my new favorite FPS series. They honestly don't have to improve the atmosphere and world though. Just keep it just as good, and I couldn't ask for more. Voice acting would be nice though... I need to stop fantasizing... there's only disappointment ahead.
