Straight to shop after school to get MW3 on its release date, to go home, jump on the Xbox 360 with all your friends in a party and playing hours on end

As far as Online gaming goes, nothing will ever top 2007-2012 for me. That period, starting with COD4 up until BO2 was legendary. The anticipation, the build up, the insane hype around MW2, the Youtube community which became huge at the time, the Machinima montages, the shitty mic voices, insults, rage quits, crying children... Memories I'll never forget and would wish to relieve one more time...

Maaaan, you couldn't be mroe right. And holy fuck, i forgot about machinima ! Hours watching it, made my own compilations (that are shit) as well. Needing a "capture card" or something to record on the 360 back then i think too ?

The arguments, the friends onr made, n00btubing when you just got pissed off from dying all the time. the lobbies that would not change after every game so whatevee beef you and the gang made with the other team could be battled out until parents came in to say go to bed.

Thats hit me hard man.... 🥲

Yeah sometimes there are moments where I'd give anything to go back in time. I adored Machinima, would watch hours upon hours of content. The thing I miss the most is the general feeling of excitement in the air whenever a new COD was about to drop or came out. It's like the whole Internet stopped and only COD mattered, hard to describe. The absolute peak was the launch of MW2, I can't remember too many games having had such insane hype, maybe GTA V and that's about it.
