Is it just me, or do battles online seem less...well, seem different? Battles and stuff used to be so frenetic. For example:

- My first ever online game, very cool. Custom level, me and Onag duked it out, about 5 other people joined and I got creamed.

- One of my favourite CTFs? Crimson Diamond: Fquist and Onag on me (I think). Very cool, very taxing on my fingers. A heck of alot of fun.

- Another cool CTF game: Myself, Xeno, some other people in Capture 1 (Tubelectric CTF). The others weren't doing much, but Xeno and I were racing between flags, buttstomping each others heads and blasting each other apart.

- A hide and seek on a level where if you ran fast enough, you'd turn invisible. Me, Xeno and Bobby and someone else I think, running around and being a thorn in each other's sides when we changed our colours to match the background. (tileset mez something and the background was dark purple, so we did camoflage. )

But nowadays, most battles on the net consist of:
Log into server. Usually a ridiculously structured homemade level with all the guns hidden. Some new players who don't even use the run button. Half the server only wants to talk, and some of the players log in and out, swear and spam for fun.

So, tell me, is it just me?
