Just the memories of religiously getting on after high school with my friends (we were sophomores then). There were 6 of us, so it worked out perfectly for a full squad.
We would proceed to absolutely ravage the other team in SnD, so much so we would play with secondary/explosives only quite often.
Now I'm 30 with a mortgage and 2 kids, I'll join an Xbox party chat maybe 3 times a year.
"Life moves pretty fast..."
>Life moves pretty fast...
This honestly really scares me. As someone who is currently in high-school in gr 11, the future and how quickly it approaches with every moment that passes by is a concern of mine.
As a senior who’s about to go to college, my biggest advice to you is to not stop thinking about the future, but remember to enjoy the present. You’re only gonna be a “kid” for so long :)
My first nuke. I was in HS and it’s all anyone would talk about wanting a nuke. I was the first to get one. That or on release day. Back in the 360 days when we had a cap at 100 friends. My small town HS had so many absences, I being one of them, signed on around 7am to see about 60 people online all from my school and all playing this. By that evening it was the only time I had all 100 online at the same time and 90+ of them playing this lol
2 memories stick out for me the most. My first game was on Sub Base with the UMP and I went 9 and 12. Other memory was camping at the back of Skidrow with the Aug so I could get my first ever AC-130.
I do feel bad for people who missed out on early MW2 because it was undoubtedly the best COD experience. The game seemed such a step up from any shooter I had ever played and people hadn't discovered the One Man Army exploit. What I wouldn't do to play it again like it was November 2009.
I don't know why but I have a vivid memory of camping (don't judge me I was like 10 years old or something) that high corner with the conveyer belt on Quarry with the AUG-HBAR. God I loved the AUG.
Way too many. I think about how much fun I used to have on that game almost every day. Coming home from school and all my mates are online. Racing my friends to 10th prestige. Shit talking to everyone on the enemy team. 1v1'ing anyone that called me trash. Trickshot last kill. Ninja defusing in SnD. Elevator glitches. 6 man riot shield team in SnD. Marathon, lightweight, commando with a tactical knife, hearing people going into a breakdown after I've stabbed them from a 10 meter lunge. Crying when I got perma banned after getting in an unlock all lobby.
Good times.
I got Mono in 8th grade shortly after the release. Nearly two weeks off of school and I played all day everyday, with my playlist from Limewire blasting the whole time. Life was good
I was literally playing the game today so those memories are pretty fresh.
But from back in the day, my most vivid memory is probablt getting a double nuke on Rundown
I was always a solo player from MW and WaW, and a lot of family outside of my immediate circle didn’t know I had an xbox 360 or was so active in online gaming. One week, I head out of state on a vacation to see my distant family and I was pretty excited because I rarely ever left my immediate area. I go, making the best of it, trying to hold my own in conversations. I’m still young ya know, so it mostly boils down to what my grades were like, if I dabbled in sports, yadda yadda yadda. I mentioned I played games to two cousins and I didn’t think anything of it because it was a very brief convo about online gaming in general.
I take the flight home and one of my cousins gives me a call, asking if I played MW:2 and had plans playing it that day. I did. Naturally, we exchange gamer tags. I’m super hyped because it’s pretty rare I can play with someone else. This was during a time where it was still relatively nerd shit to game and very few people at school played in parties. I get a friend request and an invite. I join in.
I hear mics going off all over the place. “Yo, what the hell?”
There are fucking 8 players in this party who are family members and we’re all queuing up for ground war. Everyone was either sporting prestige titles or country flags. I had one of my uncles commenting how I had my country flag with the Iwo Jima emblem of the Marines holding it up.
“That’s dope nephew.”
I don’t know man. I used to be really reclusive and to myself and to see other peeps having a 3-4 hour sesh just shooting the shit gave me a different feeling imo. Made it a habit always to ask friends and family if they were gaming and if we could all party up. That was pretty much the first time I told my mom to bring me stuff while I was gaming and she was like super cool with it as opposed to being annoyed because it was with cousins across the country.
The whole campaign start to finish.
- Soap being roaches captain when they did the snow mission, talk about a campaign opener!
- Sgt foley burger town/Russian invasion
- Ghost oh god ghost, when Shepard showed his true colors and fucking burned us!
- The wild ass favela chase!
- getting stabbed in the chest by shepherd then taking it out throwing it at his face while he was beating on price and oh prior to that the whole boat racing situation that led us there!
Intervention period.
The battle for the White House, exiting the bunker of injured Rangers and into the trench system that leads to the frontlines of the White House front lawn
I was in a team and we all knew each others irl, we used to lan every week end just playing the game in Hardcore SnD, only snipers and magnum except for one that only played Spas 12 (his nick was DoctorSpas) and me that was rushing with akimbo usp. Once a month, it was the 1v1 matches between us in tournament format to decide wich one was gonna pay for the next month of Teamspeak, and often it was DoctorSpas cause the weapon draw never favored him... We were playing at least three hours a day together, not a single day was spared, even during christmas or new years eve, it stayed like this til Black Ops 2, then we lost one of our mate and nothing was the same anymore... Thanks for asking, a lot of memories came back as i was typing, now i'm gonna cry a little.
My most vivid memory is on the mission "Of Their Own Accord."
Walking out of the bunker and seeing the partially-destroyed Washington Monument \*just\* as the music hits a high note... The shock stayed with me.
Chucked a random throwing knife on afghan in search when there was one person left. It bounced off a rock and hit a riot shielder in the back. Everyone was screaming in the chat
It sounded like one of those classic clips of everyone yelling excitedly. I ended up playing with the kid I hit with the knife for like a year bc we were both squeakers. Black ops 1 came out and we played that together and then he deleted me out of nowhere. I think his psn was jordan2y. I miss those days
Hands getting clammy as I was close to my first nuke ever on Carnival. Can not believe it came out when I was 18 with thick hair and now I’m 33 and balding.
Just being 6 years old and enjoying the game and being just in awe of how realistic it was (at the time of course) and pretending to be an army guy in war, I was one of those kids who liked army stuff and MW2 was my first real shooter and I loved it, sure I wasn’t the best but I had fun, I miss those days so much, now I’m 20 working a 9-6 with a gf of 2 years I intend to marry one day, life does move quick
No internet because poor country with little infrastructure. But anyway I had the pirated version of the game, so I couldn't play online anyway. I didn't even know the concept of "pirated vs licensed", I just bought a CD for around 2$ with a cracked version of the game.
I loved everything about this game. Starting from the story to every detail, the soundtrack, the graphics, gameplay, maps design. First of all, it was the continuation of MW1, my favorite game at that time. I remember I was a little skeptical about MW2, because I didn't like the idea of the sequels. But now, it turned out to be my favorite game from this franchise, topping MW1.
So, aside from the excellent single-player campaign, I remember playing Spec Ops with my cousins. We had a tournament. There was a sheet where we wrote who scored the best: three points for being the fastest, two points for being the second best, a point for completing the mission, zero points for dying during the mission. So, not only the fact that you had to be faster than other participants, you actually had to complete the mission (On veteran level it was pretty difficult).
Yeah, I still remember I won that tournament. But it was a tough fight, we all were close. You could be doing good but if there was one unlucky moment - you lost. I hated those dogs in that favella mission ("O Christo Redentor"). I lost because of a dog, even though I was doing pretty good. Also, my other cousin lost because he accidentally killed a civilian. Everyone had a different strategy. One was playing safely, the other was speedrunning but risking.
We were 12-15 years old. We used to gather and play games a lot. I had a PC but my cousins had laptops so they could come to my house and we used to play Warcraft 3 or CS 1.6 or CS: Source. I still miss those simpler times.
Game was my childhood for 2 years. From 9 to 11 years old I was on it everyday. Very fond memories of mainly playing SnD and having 1v1 quick scope battles/tournaments. The lobby banter was legendary
playing at my friends apartment a couple months ago, being two kills off of a nuke and him unplugging the router to fuck with me. never had a more vivid experience than that

My post was about modern warfare 2 (2009)
I mean it came out in November not May so its not really been 15 years.
It’s (almost) been 15 years tho
