This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
I used to roleplay as a pirate, pickpocket, swindler, and ladies man; laughably incompetent at them all, under this username in a tiny, indie RPG called Rubies of Eventide. I was never a strong player, but I got a reputation for funny in-game banter. Playing a different kind of person enabled me to punch above my weight in social skills.
This is happening to me now in squad.
Yes, I find this too. Especially if you play on the same servers.
There are definitely games that allow the first scenario to happen(by allowing people to host servers or by not having many players)
COD 2 Rifle only 🫡
My experience playing Call of Duty: United Offensive. The community was so much better than online games today. Some times if I wasn’t in to it we’d just chat via text chat. Felt like an extended lan party almost
Anyone remember PlayStations All-stars, Sony's shitty answer to Smash Bros? My lame claim to fame is I had one of the nastiest Heihachis in the scene. Always played in purple thong. Saw people mention me a few times in forums.
Game was bad and hachi kinda busted, but seemingly only a few of us who ever got real nasty with it. Kinda fun just being a monster on that silly game and showing off maximum old man butt.
There's this guy so damn good with the Kraber on Titanfall l 2 Northstar on my server I never was able to kill him ...
Ready gaming fires away in this Kraber g200 montage!
:(
Well, atleast for the very top it's still the same. The best 100 players of nearly every game do still know each other.
However fuck what they've done to PUBG, fuck bots give map bans.

I can't say I share exactly this experience, but I did have some experiences of old that I miss.
The only non-MMO I ever played multiplayer prior to ~2013 was Age of Mythology. I never played ranked or competitive, but I did play a shit tonne of fun custom scenarios. Escape maps. Arenas. One really fun Helm's Deep map that would always slow to a crawl once a larger number of units hit the field. I'd browse through the open lobbies and find something that struck my fancy, or create my own lobby and wait for people to join. Hours spent browsing the Age of Mythology Heaven forums for scenarios and reading people talk about them.
I do mind miss those custom scenarios. The new Age of Mythology: Retold feels much more focused on the ranked mode. Which I do also really enjoy. But there doesn't seem the same culture of custom scenarios that there was back in the day.
Tribes 1 still like this. Always see the same dudes. They all killers too
I've been playing Lord of the Rings, Battle for Middle Earth lately (I believe the game came out in 2004?). Anyways, the small pool of players isn't as fun as you remember. The greentext notes giving up based on team matchup, and oh boi is that a big problem.
I really wish BFME2 could get a remaster in the fashion of the Age of Empires Definitive Editions. I only ever played single player back in the day but I'd love to be able to easily install it and play some multiplayer games.
Shame the rights won't allow that.
It's unofficial but this is what everyone uses to play: http://bfmeladder.com/
Had the same experience with AssaultCube last year.
CS2 still has server browser. Even I have my own dedicated server.

Jesus, fuck, that's still around?
I just spun up a server, and before I knew it, there were 16 players having the best time. I wonder if it could happen again, but I have no time to try it.
This still sort of exists in matchmaking if you play enough.
When you're like top 1% of players you tend to see the same players a lot.
Shout out to my TF2 clan. You were the best friends I ever had. 🫡
I definitely feel this way about gaming online. I miss Microsoft Ants.
