What's her name /v/?

Team Fortress 2.
And when I say TF2, I talk about the original TF2, not the present day f2p abomination.

BF2

Shattered Galaxy
Infantry Online
Cosmic Rift

Pretty much the entirety of HL1

>no more fun and innovative single player mods
>multiplayer is all but dead
>Firearms gone
>Natural Selection gone
>Action Half Life gone
>Zombie Panic gone
>Day of Defeat gone (not sure how the source version is doing)
>The Specialists gone
>Battlegrounds (or whatever that Revolutionary War mod was) gone
>Pirates Vikings and Knights gone (think they made a source version but don't remember)
>Tour of Duty gone
>TFC gone
>Counter-Strike 1.6 still around but mostly just foreigners, memeposters, and literal kids left

I don't get it. Seems like the community died with HL2's release. And not just for HL but nearly all vidya.

Does Halo 1 on PC still have a community?

I remember going into stunt servers all the time.

I love how Babby Fortress 2 fags always chime about the glory days when TF2 was always a streamlined casual version of Team Fortress. What a bunch of elitist shits.

What was that name of that BF2 mod basically everyone played. I can't remember it anymore other than it was tons of fun

It's dead anon. There hasn't been a full 64 player lobby in a looong time. Hell, you can't even get a 16 vs 16 CTF match anymore.

Shattered Horizon.

People wrote it off as a tech demo but I personally feel is has the best 0g FPS combat of all time.

It deserved so much better. The only downside it required GFWL.

I remember that now. Looked promising but I never got it. Was it in early access or did it come out before Steam had EA?

Dark Souls 1 on the pooter.

According to steam there are still 4k to 8k people playing at nearly all times, and apparently the region lock is gone, but somehow it feels a hella lot emptier than it used to.
>>
>>337672087
Yeah it was pretty rad. The silent running thing where you could turn off your systems to become undetectable while losing your thruster control was a good idea,too. Being a new MP FPs franchise and requiring Dx10 back then probably was what killed it.
>>
>>337672172
Way before early access. I think the problem was that it had very poor graphics scaling. Nobody with a toaster was able to play it at the time so it just withered and died shortly after release.
>>
Counter-Strike, Final Fantasy XI.
>>
I kindof long for the CS glory days. Is CSGO worth the price? Are there custom maps, zombie escape servers, vehicles?

I miss GoldSrc's wonky vehicle physics

Plenty of custom maps. Not sure about vehicles. It's a fun game, buy it when it's on sale.

Battlefront 2
Jedi Academy (sort of, I know some people still play but they're either BRs or have transcended to a different being and can kill you with their minds)
World of Warcraft (vanilla community dead and gone)
Half-life modding community especially games like The Specialists (devs gone forums dead/down)
Pretty much any of the bygone communities really. I'm biased since that's when I had the most fun but still.
Rune had some great duels similar to JK. Modders in general were so damn creative and fun to talk to and the games were amazing even if they were often patchworks or buggy as hell. I guess I just miss my old life, when I was a pimply sweaty nerd and all my friends were pimply sweaty nerds and we played on gray boxes with CRTs and it was either FPS or RTS. I guess I just don't like change. Hands down best community ever was original Quake. QuakeWorld, Team Fortress...
