    What Was The First Game That Got You Hooked On Online Gaming?

    For me it was Counter-Strike PC. I don't play on the computer at all anymore, but this is definitely the game that did it.

      I'll be somewhat surprised if anyone knows about this one - Chain of Command back in the 2am days. The first online game I played for any decent length of time.

      Infantry was a close second - I played so much GravBall in those days.

        River Raid, Yars Revenge, Karateka

        Those were my first 3 big time addictions.

          Duke Nukem 3D with two other friends on a LAN started me off. For the whole net thing though I didn't get big time into it until Half-Life (DM and TDM) and Team Fortress Classic.

            A couple

            War Craft and Command and Conquer for PC. Then Quake and Duke 3d. But I got to say one of the most played online games I ever played has to be Total Annihilation

            Console it was all GOLDEN EYE. Even though it was not ONLINE, it was the first console multiplayer game to get me addicted to playing with people in the same game.

                I had a computer programming class back in high school when Duke Nukem 3D came out. We all sat in the back row and installed the game on the computers. We'd help each other complete the assigned program as quickly as possible so we could play each other in that game. Good times...

                      easy,

                      RBSV1 !

                      I resisted and resisted and all it took was a free trial to get me hooked. I also think it was important that it was that game I had and got into - gears online didn't do it for me nearly as much and something besides both of those, it's possible I would have not realized what all the hype was about and quit bothering with online. Vegas 1 was awesome at the time for online, I used to own folks with my sniper! streets baby!

                        Halo 2. I'm not a big fan of the Halo series but the multiplayer in that game was great and it was the first time I had Live. I would play that game all day.

                        If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                          LMAO, I never said I could read.

                          Online would be Doom probably, not really online, but we did a LAN.

                          Real online would have been Battlefield 1942, played it night and day...day and night.

                              I used to play Team Fortress and Counterstrike on the PC all damn night when I was in 7th and 8th grade.

                              As far as consoles, it's Halo (LAN) and Halo 2 (Live) by a mile. I can't count how many mulitplayer matches I've played.
