:), I was 12 at the time, still got that original disc. I remember where we parked at the store, where the magazine was & where other people were standing.
I remember the pictures in the magazine and some of the text from the players. A sniper on Battery near the lighthouse prone scoping, and the text was “LET HIM OUT RETARD BOY”… I felt at home before even playing the game :D.
Played until 2006 constantly, every single day. I was playing in a clan for 1 year inwhich I met someone who lived litteraly in the next city from me (13 miles away). I added him on Myspace in 2007 and now have him on Facebook. Turns out he knew my cousins and family members. He’s also been to many places with my friends (who he also played with and didn’t know it). Small world :).
I still speak to him now and then, he was my e-buddy for such a long time <3.
I had to leave our clan (Promo Gaming) and joined International Killers. I reached my top skill level which was 2006 HIGH SKILL, after YEARS of practice & dedication. I then leave a few weeks later when I decided to quit ET as I wanted to spend it with friends. I found my girlfriend within 1 month, and still with her now (6 years in July ;)). I spent all my time outside drinking & not sleeping :P, I also went to college so had no more time to play.
Still don’t really play now, only now and then on XP save servers (which I used to hate)…
