What was the first game you played online?

007: Nightfire for the PC.

I feel old compared to some of you... Diablo

Halflife (1) deathmatch.

Delta Force 2

Quake 2. I remember stretching a Homer Simpson skin over another model to make a horrible monster.

Battlefield 1942

original tribes, still great today

Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, got cursed out in my very first match. First game that I played a lot of online was Halo 2.

The first online game I ever played was a turn based strategy game called Spaceward Ho!  As far as real time games, it would be Warcraft II.

Does anyone else remember The Sierra Network? They had a lot of games that you could play on there, but I spent most of my time playing Red Baron and Shadow of Yserbius.

probably halo 2 for the xbox. that got me hooked into online gaming

Either Metal Gear Online or GTAIV whichever came our first, loved them both and spent the whole summer online.

Hmmm. Hard to remember. Could be Counter-strike 1.5. I think my first MMO was Silk Road Online some random f2p game.

Runescape, motherfucker. Back near the end of '02 I think. I didn't have my own PC before that, but ever since I've always preferred playing games on PC. I guess it's what made me who I am today. I loved games before then, but they were more of a secondary hobby for me (even though I still played them a ton) until Runescape dug its claws in me.

Warcraft 3 or Neverwinter Nights.

Those were the days.

I believe mine would be PSO on the Dreamcast. I remember getting dial-up set up so I could go online with the Dreamcast(had no PC until a couple years after that).

The first one I really remember is Starcraft 1 but I'm sure that there were some before that

The first Unreal Tournament. Neighbor got it when it came out and it was DOPE.

Ragnarok

Probably NFL 2K1 and PSO on the Dreamcast. Bought the keyboard and everything!

Counter-Strike.

Quake on dial up. But I played TCP/IP games of Diablo and Warcraft 2 before that.

Ragnarok Online Beta or Counterstrike ...

I cant remember which came first

Didn't last for long.... But shogo mobile armor division on pc!! WITH A GAMEPAD! No second analog stick either... Most amazing thing in the world!

But more for realzies? Socom 1/madden on the ps2. Most...amazing...thing...ever! Madden came with the adapter for ps2. Fun fun.

Jedi Knight 2

PC was doom, console was something on the Dreamcast, either NFL 2k1 or Phantasy Star Online.

the realm online

Halo 2. Rumble Pit on Beaver Creek. Good times.

Lost Planet

I know right but actually it was for real mindblowing and I loved it. I also played Rainbow Six Vegas around the same time and enjoyed the fuck outta that too. Ahhhh 2007, such a hype year for me.

Either COD4 or Halo 3. So, good first impression either way!

Actually the first time I played COD4, I immediately got spawnkilled and quit because I thought I did something wrong.

Probably Diablo 2.

@MariachiMacabre said:

I'm not going to include PC gaming so the first game I played online was the fucking amazing online co op for Crackdown.

Why are you not including PC? That seems silly and totally not the question asked.

Diablo 2 baby!

Ultima Online, such a great game..

Socom 2. Only had one computer at the time and that computer was located in my informal dining room. So I had a 13" tube tv and a ps2 with all kinds of wires sitting on my parents dining room table. Ghetto fun.

Pretty sure it was Quake World.

Jedi Knight 2

Legend of the Red Dragon, back on a local BBS.

Maybe Counter Strike.

Probably Halo 2. I never used to be much of a PC gamer, and I never really had access to graphics-friendly hardware anyway.

I don't remember, but it was probably Quake 3 or some other shooter of the time.

I did play Star Trek Elite Force online a LOT.

Counter Strike.

Metal Gear Online when it came out with MGS 4. I was not into PC gaming in my younger days. I had no interest playing online when I had PS2. Spending more money to buy a network adapter and setting up was too much of a hassle for me. I understood why people have said Metal Gear solid was not meant to be played online as a third person shooter. MGO had it's problems--multiple logins, not enough players of similar skill level. In terms of technology, I was catching up it what gaming in general had to offer. The ability to play and talk with other people who are far away. Not having reliable wireless internet and dealing with foul-mouthed twelve years has soured my online experience. I'll go back to play online once in a while.

Some delta force game. Then I fell into a vietcong hole and eventually into a bf1942 pit.

I believe it was Perfect Dark Zero for the 360. I've only gotten into PC games a couple of years ago and never bothered to play the PS2 or Xbox online.

Counter Strike

Technically this MUD called Realms of Despair but if were talking like a game with graphics then Counter Strike - and then that sucked me in for like 2 years.

Command & Conquer I think

I honestly don't know....probably Diablo 1. If it wasn't the first, it was damn close.

Socom fireteam bravo on the psp, it was pretty great fun being the first proper online game i ever played, Voice chat a good clan and msg'ing interface, i did get really into it back then.
