Once I remember as I was beating everyone in a battle game (I was a client and the level used Beach tileset) and winning the game. Bobby was also in the server.
But when the game ended the level switched to a new one using one of the Mez tilesets. It also used ambient lightning to make the level very dark however I did not know how to turn it off. I remember Bobby roasting me in that level in narrow passages over and over again as he was shooting powered bouncies behind when I was chasing him. Pretty tricky and deadly for a newbie, huh? I didn't haver any powerups either The level was made by Syntax I think.

But the very first time I played online was in a Diamondus Warzone CTF. I don't remember much except that there were many ppl in the server and that I liked it.

What else? Ow yea!
I remember Black Ninja cheating online using lots of powered ammo tho there were no powerups in the level. I didn't know how to cheat at that time.

But what I really hated were the hotels and I still hate them today because they steal a lot of players.

More, more and more...
