I miss discord game nights. I’m terrible at FPS but still had tons of fun in the Halo MCC. It was my first social gaming time in recent years. Pretty bummed it doesn’t happen anymore.

Game Nights Will Return in Avengers: Doomsday
I miss FPS game nights from when I was younger. Every night in the summer of 2010 me and one of my best friends would play MW2 on PSN from like 10PM to 4AM with a small break around 1AM for us to run out to the gas stations and grab some snacks. I still remember grabbing a 44 oz. Mountain Dew Code Red. A king size Zero Bar and a bag of Chester’s Hot Fries for under 5 bucks every night. It was the same thing every night but it was so much fun and it was a great way to stay in touch with my boy while he was across the country all summer.
Another great FPS group memory was the Spring after Battlefield 3 came out, that same friend and I joined a few more of our really close friends we grew up with on Xbox 360 for some BF3. It was so fun going and playing basketball every night and then coming home for hours of BF3 - especially some 500 ticket Rush on Operation Metro. Countless great memories on that game and one we still laugh about is the Ohio buddy crawling around at the staircase chokepoint in the tunnel on Metro, he crawled up the lesser used back set of stairs over and over without shooting any enemies. He somehow made his way all the way to the back hallway MCOM station and tossed a couple smoke grenades for cover while he armed it with only a few tickets left. At that point the rest of the squad stormed the MCOM station and held it down until we destroyed it then steamrolled the rest of the match. We were all talking a ton of shit to our buddy who had joined the other team and was laying at the end of the hall firing explosive rounds with his shotgun.
I haven’t had many other great FPS memories like that since then because we all got older/busier/changed as we grew up but I definitely cherish memories from that time. After the PS4/X1 gen came out we all kind of started doing our own things since we were in our early 20s. Not long after that a lot of FPS games started getting really competitive and sbmm seemed to be everywhere.
Oh man BF3… such an absurdly fun experience. The Xbox 360 really wasn’t fit for running it - but at the time, that really didn’t matter! It was just fun.
