I miss 2007-2012 multiplayer lobbies
back when everyone had mics and trash talked each other. More so on xbox and in select multiplayer games like MW2 and Halo. The wildest funniest banter and tea bagging was seen as a form of revenge when you kill the annoying guy on the enemy team.

kids today are too soft and would not have survived 5 mins in said lobbies without crying to the game devs.

nowadays people have no mic or use 3rd party voice chat programs

and lord have mercy on your soul if you slip a subtle insult or wrongly phrased word at someone = automatic banned.

MW2 lobbies were fun. Making the other team rage was half the battle.

This is the most pointless nostalgia I have seen...

What is the big deal with toxicity? Almost of them are not even funny or original and the goofy microphones are also not funny at all, they are just annoying and you cannot even understand what they are saying....

But well, bad microphones from what I see are still VERY common 🤷

These type of behaviors should have been punished A LOOONG TIME ago... Always the past doing something wrong...

The problem is not today, the problem is the past for not punishing bad behaviors :steambored:

There is literaly no reason to even support that type of behavior...

No I like cursing out people in games

In CS:GO I talk ♥♥♥♥ about Arms Race every time I play, and I can’t stop playing it

It’s fun

I should not be punished for calling people slurs when I died in a game I paid for, which is kind of where dedicated servers are also kind of bad

Holdfast: Nations of War is still pretty much a 2007-2012 multiplayer lobby and I loved it. Only reason I haven't played in a while is because I've been going at my backlog.

The point is it's entertaining for a lot of people, myself included. I've laughed more shooting the ♥♥♥♥ and trash talking in Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops 2 than I have in any multiplayer game since.

Where are these lot of ppl you are saying ,I do not see them... I only see more ppl complaining about toxicity than ppl actually missing it... :steambored:

If lot of ppl actually found it funny, games nowadays would not have moderation and punishments... So your point just does not make sense...

Pretty sure that even a big part of those "lot of ppl" you are saying also have complained about toxicity and bragging about older times being tough...

You are just being nostalgic, you are not rly missing those moments, otherwise you would just go to any multiplayer game right now and do the thing instead of talking about old days here

Nostalgia is just not real, it only remembers the good parts, never the bad ones...

Nostalgia goggles off pls... :steambored:

They're right in this thread, and several of my personal friends miss those days too. It's why we play un-moderated games like Holdfast occasionally.

You REALLY like the word nostalgia, is that your go to for any argument involving the past? Because saying "nostalgia" doesn't inherently make it true, it just makes you look like you have no argument. You don't know how I actually feel about anything, so stop pretending you do.

it can still sometimes be a TF2 experience. (probably because the game came from before that period)

If words can upset people so much I worry for when something really bad happens to them.
