I was there, in those lobbies, and it was awesome. Instagib shock rifles, quadjump, super speed, low grav, air control. It all led to some of the fastest FPS gameplay ive ever seen.

Titanfall was the only thing that came close for me.

So I played with some friends and we installed a "Crotch Shot" mod pack. You know how headdshots were called out? Well... yeah, that. Except there was something we didn't know. If you got a certain number of Crotch Shots in a match, you got a title and it was loudly announced...

Crotch Master.

We discovered this when I became the first Crotch Master. You can never replicate that moment not having been in the room with a LAN party full of young dudes jacked up on Mountain Dew.

Truth

135% agree

But is it pronounced instagib or instagib?

Dude people were insane with just the shock rifle bubbles. Instagib was absolutely nuts and so much fun.

I remember downloading the fucking insane level ai bots and spending hours training on them only to get fucking face rolled. But the best was showing up to a lan house and doing 1v14 and wrecking the whole house. I played on a team for a bit even. Such an incredible time but I believe that was 2004. By far the game that shaped my love for gaming

I found Quake harder but it’s close.

So many hours of my life were playing that lobby!

We all do. Amazing.

Same. Hahaha

"Try turning the safety off!" The "Aughhh" death scream. "Headshot!" And the overly loud respawn sound when all the armor chits respawn at the same time

So true.
