there was something magical about online gaming in the late 90s/early 2000s in general, back before Xbox Live / PSN existed & online play wasn't mainstream yet.

there was still this underground vibe, server communities were abundant, you'd become known throughout the server/community, it was a cool experience to run into the top players, people played because they were competitive and loved to shit talk, not because they wanted to rank up in a season or earn in-game points, etc

Quake Team Fortress was awesome. Modders would change what you wanted, server admins could easily make custom matches, mappers would make maps based off requests.

Paladins would be good if they would get rid of the push-the-box and stand-in-the-circle garbage. The most anti-fun objectives FPS has ever seen thanks to TF2

Nobody cares about video games where you have to have fighter pilot reflexes and full-time job dedication just to not get stomped.
