What are some of your funniest, craziest, or most amazing memories of playing FPS games online? I’d love to hear some detailed stories.

I don't typically play FPS games, but I started branching out a bit within the past 10 years or so, so my stories are more indicative of a modern FPS player than a past one

This one was relatively recent: I was invited to play in a tournament with teams of mixed brand new players and experienced players in Valorant, a game I had never played before. Being as inexperienced with FPS as I am, it wasn't a surprise I didn't play as amazingly as the others. So when it came down to just me left on my team during a particular round, it came as a shock that I was able to turn it around by wiping out the entire opposing team! Unfortunately by the time I had begun planting the spike, someone had respawned and sniped me, missing our chance to win that round. But it was very exhilarating to have that moment of absolute power

I know I have more than just this one, but the first that came to mind for me was a time in CS:GO where I solo'd a round against an entire enemy team who had killed everyone else on my team. The only reason I was still alive was because I didn't bum rush the point, and after seeing I was the last left started to play very conservatively. For anyone who hasn't played CS:GO, that game is toxic as fuck so my team mates were kicking off in chat that I wasn't just going Rambo and even started a kick vote. I also had never been in a 5v1 so I had no idea if I could even pull it off, but because I chose my moments to take people out when I felt safe from being swarmed by the rest of their team, I managed to just barely clutch it. My team looked silly and cancelled the kick, and better yet this round would've lost us the game if I hadn't won it. Always sticks with me seeing a bunch of try hards get proven wrong. XD

@ShiraNoMai That’s an amazing story; congrats on managing to do so well when all the pressure was on you! @Moonface Good job keeping your cool!

For me, my best FPS memory is still of the first time in my childhood I actually got the hang of FPS at all while playing CTF in Quake III Arena (those were the days).

I'm not particularly fond of FPS games so I haven't bothered playing online if my game had that mode, so I don't really have a story to tell.
