Halo 3
Battlefield 2 bad company.
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
Battlefield 1942
Diablo II / Worms Armageddon. Or Burnout Revenge.
WoW
Halo 2.
The matchmaking was incredible, super jumps were fun to exploit, and the bxr or quad shotting took more skill to incorporate although they were exploits.
Same as you, OP. COD4 Modern Warfare. Nothing ever reached those heights for me. Modern Warfare (2019) scratched the itch for a while but it wasn’t the same.
Quake 2
CoD MW2 with no doubt
Counter Strike 1.6
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, World of Warcraft and Halo 3.
Diablo 2 LoD
2002-2006 Diablo 2 was the best online experience everyone is trying to scam you out of something
Unreal Tournament … Yes I’m old
Edit: UT99 (obviously)
Quake 2
Everquest, Anarchy Online.
StarCraft 1, “use map settings” games.
L4d2
Ultima Online – long live Great Lags server! Followed by EverQuest.
Delta Force: Black Hawk Down
Probably SOCOM II or Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
CS 1.5 and clanbase
Team Fortress 2!!! how has no one said this yet
Age of Empires 2 – MSN Game Zone
Gta samp
Half Life / Day of Defeat / Team Fortress
Warcraft II Battlenet edition
Everquest ⚔️
Guild Wars. Easily the best team-based competitive game I’ve ever played. I was sad GW2 under-emphasized the competitive part.
Asheron’s Call
RuneScape in 2007
Phantasy Star Online on Dreamcast.
Original Counterstrike + Day of Defeat
Ultima Online, Chesapeake server back in 97-99 coming back from HS.
Either Diablo 2 or SC brood war. Sooo many hours spent playing those games.
Star Wars Galaxies (and multiplayer matches of Jedi Outcast).
Neopets
StarCraft/Age of Empires
So fewer folks back in the dial up days, trolling still existed but way more tight-knit and rarely to the detriment of others.
Tribes 2.
I sill miss it… 🙁
tibia
Unreal tournament
Ragnarok Online and Conquer Online
America’s Army. Weapons Cache was my map!
Maplestory
Tribes 2.
Me and my two roommates had a LAN setup in our apartment with a cable modem, back in 2001. We played a ton of multiplayer games online, including Quake 2, Half Life, Unreal, etc. But Tribes 2 was the best.
Tribes 2 supported 64 players when most games struggled with 16 or 32. It also had _huge_ maps, and vehicles. One vehicle was a 3 person bomber. So the 3 of us would grab a bomber and dominate a map. One person piloting, one person manning the guns, and I would be on the back with flares, and a rocket launcher, taking down the fighters that would try to take us out. I’d also bring along a deployable inventory station that we would set up on the edge of the map, to run back to for repairs.
Later on, we moved to BF 1942 and other games, before we moved out of the apartment in 2005ish, but nothing ever quite reached the fun we had in Tribes 2.
Early 2000s
You had Brood War, Diablo 2, and WarCraft 3. Felt like Blizzard could do no wrong back then.
Counter-Strike, Tribes, and Unreal Tournament were some solid FPS games you could easily get into.
