CAGiversary!
2002 was my golden age of gaming. I was deep into PC gaming, and for the first time, I finally owned a custom built PC with Pentium 4 processor and modded out with neon blue lights. I loved the hell ouf that thing. It was a display model at Compusa and they sold it to me.
For the first time ever, I had a rig that could handle new PC releases with no problem. I bought the game SOF2, and it displayed the game in all its bloody bloody gory. I quickly became addicted to the multiplayer game.
Sadly, I've never been able to reproduce the experience I had in SOF2. I suck so bad at console multiplayer in shooters. I put in countless hours, and memorized the maps. I became an expert at sniping, and it was so much fun to blow someone's head off. I would still play this game today if the community hadn't died out.
But then I discovered BF1942. It provided endless entertainment. I loved the wide variety of battles and sniping Nazis. I logged so much time into these two games that I neglected the other PC releases and ended up with a pretty big PC game backlog.
Alas, times change. I lost my job, moved back home and there went my broadband access. Half Life 2 came out and my PC would barely run it. I got more into console gaming. I built a new PC in 2007, but it was never powerful enough. The lack of strategy games, flood of MOOs and DRM crap turned me off even more. Bioschock was the last game I played to completion on a PC.
I was so excited when BF1943 was announced. I could relive that game again with HD graphics. Sadly, the game was downscaled majorly and they wouldn't release any more maps!! I would have paid in a heart beat for more maps.
The modern stuff never grabbed me. I miss good on BF WW2 era.
