Hell yes, the most enjoyable multiplayer fps i've ever played. It was simple and i never got bored of it.
Also for the beach level, best map by far. You were always waiting for that stray panzer to kill everyone in the axis bunker
, or oppurtunist snipers (guilty 
)

Haha awesome mate, I do remember you being pretty badass lol. I would do anything to relive those days man with the RA3 map 1 server.

Total Annihilation..on the old Wireplay
TA was great but Total annihlation kingdoms was epic, i remember spending like 9 hours downloading a small mod on dial-up haha
Great game, in recent years iv not really seen many games which will make me look back and say i was they were still popular.
They just dont make games like they used too.
Yeah, me too.
Renegade was pretty much my first online game that I played regularly and joined a community for the first time. It also got me into modding. It could've been so much more if it had the chance and was unique for the time.
Far Cry too as others have said. Just loved roaming the maps in the jungle taking people out and had so much fun. Shame punk buster ruined it.
if my work colleagues asked me what I was doing this saturday night and I replied that I was going to be sat at my PC, with some headphones on , running an elf about hitting boars with a sword , again the majority would indeed think I was a loser with no life
Ultimately it doesnt bother me in the slightest, I am a nerd and I do sit in the evenings chasing pixels around on my screen with my own pixels, but I like it so I am content and have no illusions about what I do, so I am happy to accept whatever label is deemed fit
I know somebody at work who admits to doing that sort of thing but he's probably one of the most charasmatic (and certainly talkative) people in the office too, and playing games is just one of his pastimes. So while playing video games might be described as 'nerdy' by some I really don't think people are categorising people as losers for doing so.
The way I see it Joe Public would say somebody who rarely socialises, plays games everynight and doesn't have many other interests is indeed a 'loser with no life', somebody who enjoys gaming alongside an active social life - including the odd saturday night killing boars - probably not. Nearly all the people I know that openly talk about gaming are in long term relationships (implication being he 'loser with no life' tag possibly doesn't fit), people are just comfortable with the idea of people playing games now.
Calling yourself a nerd/geek is actually pretty common now and again has much less of a stigma. The number of nerds is increasing, spending 2hrs a day on the internet used to instantly mark somebody as a 'loser with no life' 10 years ago, but now every Tom, Dick and Harriet is doing it for 'social networking'.
So essentially what I am driving at is that even if behaviour is still viewed as 'nerdy', that in itself is still viewed differently than how it used to be. It's now something people chuckle about more than use in a hostile way.
Very good post, i know people who would have readily slagged of others for playing games online a few years ago, all of theese same people are now xbox junkies, ive always had a good social life, some of theese fellas i know barely leave the house now, and on the very odd night they do, they sit and discuss theyre gaming exploits. Their wives/girlfriends have named themselves the xbox widows club.
Quake World!
Quake 3: Rocket Arena 3 - Really do miss playing with my mates (Defiance) top french clan (pSYKo) and playing for England
TFC - again miss playing for best clans in europe/world (DW, SHS, Induce, =BC=, BIA)! and for England! (damn u Finland always beating us)
Best gaming days ever i doubt they will ever be the same, nor my reactions either
I remeber the first season of our clan in TFC. I was in DSH i was [DSH]Bastardos and in our group was AK47 and SHS, what a baptism of fire that was. I learnt sooo much from practicing with SHS.
yep that was me with the yellow "i" and ya i remember u and git!! i still remember RA3 days like they was yesterday such awesome memories! ya ra3map1 and ra3map11 i used to love! nothing beats the adrenaline rush more when ur 6v1 and shaking like **** and there chasing u around the whole map haha!
i tried playing with 56k aswell and the day i got ISDN i was proper loving it! haha! there was some sick 56k players back in those days aswell! i still remember people like charlie, scar, aurora etc! and i sometimes still speak to danny now used to be called ac1d! used to spent hours dueling him on ra3map1!
