Edit: Quake Live it was called. Unclear if it's still offered in the browser as it seems to have made it's way to Steam.
There's something about the pace of older FPSes that the new ones don't match. Plus, turns out realism isn't something I ever wanted in an FPS. I still fire UT99 up and play a few bot matches once in a while. Now I can do it in my browser?
Self hosted communities. I can still play on ~5 CS 1.6 servers where the same people hang out since 20 years.
if that were the only catch then people like myself and parent wouldn't return to these games simply to fight a bot match.
Note that it's just the intro, for bandwidth/copyright reasons: > This is just the intro flyby to show it works. The whole game is not included because it's a big download and not mine to give out.
So 100 to 200 MB of PRECACHING /s

I have a hunch that most the people still hosting servers for games 20+ years later are very good at it. The noobs and casuals like myself moved on ages ago.
Being blown to bits before the whole spawn animation plays repeatedly is amusing for a while, but the charm wears off fast. I don’t have the time to dedicate to get good.
This was my Quake experience a couple years ago, at least.
There has also been a fully playable version of Quake that runs in the browser for many years. Super cool, was great for slacking off at work back in the day haha Edit: Quake Live it was called. Unclear if it's still offered in the browser as it seems to have made it's way to Steam.
