The thing that hurts the most is going through your friends list and seeing everybody say âofflineâ
VirusR Facts, that shit cuts deep đ
Even back in the day, when you could only have so many 'friends' added, I legitimately went through my 'friends list' late and night and had to decide who to remove. But not once did I ever remove an old friend I had cherished memories with that had been "offline" for seemly forever.
I couldn't ever bring myself to do it.
True
I deleted all my friends for some reason

We all grew up... So the charm of the good days are gone, but not forgotten.
Exactly. We should be so lucky that we were even able to experience these glory days. I remember being in middle school in 2010 coming home to play Halo Reach
Itâs actually sad though isnât it. Miss those days
I agree
You never know you're in the good old days until its gone
BTmethius middle school in 2010 lol you are barely out of school.
Who remembers the âDonât make me get my booter friend in the partyâ
Or the kid who always said his dad worked at microsoft
fuck yea!
Lol zone alarm đš
Sad itâs still a thing
That was actually PlayStation
Rip to all our Xbox friends that are offline.
Never forgotten

Watching netflix with other people on xbox live was one of the best features ever
Itâs crazy cause I remember back in 2009 I was at a friends house before I had live. We started a Netflix party with another friend. I only experienced this once....it quickly was taken away and a few years later I thought back to it, and totally thought I dreamed the whole thing. I had to actually research and see if it existed
This was literally one of the greatest features ever. I donât see why they canât bring it back.
What they had that
i remember watching the 2010 world cup games with my friends in a party, i think it was espn app hhaha
Before the feature was available me and my friends would count to three and just press play.
The sad truth is, itâs all a part of the times. Atleast for my age anyway. I was still in school when everyone played xbox live, we would play Halo 3 some MW2, GTA IV and play till the early hours of the morning. But eventually we all grew up. We had new responsibilties, we had less time free to play games, and eventually those golden days fizzled out. The state of the gaming industry didnât help matters, nothing captured the same feeling and nothing really brought everyone back. This is why the next generation isnât as lively as before. I hope the state of gaming sorts itself out for all the younger gamers to experience the same things we did on a new platform, and they can make the same memories we once did.
Wow dude i can relate to that i was in high school back in the early 360 era. I miss those days this generation now is just not the same. PS4 right now currently is pretty much the 360 of last gen. Xbox one is just not the same as the 360 they dont even have xbox live arcade anymore
Better than what i was gonna write. True
Smell Yermaw Iâm 12 and I still own a ps3 itâs still really good
Yea itâs inevitable you play games when your a kid then you get older and you get a chick knocked up then you have responsibilities o well boo boo move on who cares
This hit me hardđ

Yeah that was me. I'm 25 now so stfu, my dad works for Microsoft

Halo 3 was the absolute greatest experience I ever had with multiplayer gaming. It's sad knowing something similar will never come back.
West Side is da best gaming will never , be the same :/
Wait... There is a new hope... *Halo Infinite starts glimmering in the distance.*
Let's hope it's not a truck coming to run us over.
@@tark_9882 Lol after Halo Reach, 4, and 5? You really think its coming back?
Tsar Marklovski I'm optimistic. It looks like from the trailer that they're going back to the original art style, but that's all we know at the moment. I do have my hopes up.
Pilot The game is not confirmed to be open world, though people have speculated about it.
2007-2008 Halo 3, CoD 4: Modern Warfare, Gears of War...
I remember everyone at school playing these games and it brought many people together across all friend groups. I remember the distinct hallway phrase, âyou getting online tonight?â
There wasnât group chat at this point so everyone used in game chat. Friends lists were booming. Game sales were booming. Internet connections were being upgraded. Those were the glory days. Everyone had the top titles and community. Those days are gone.
Party chat was a thing back then but many people preferred the game chat.
Uhhhh MW4??
XRubenX Gaming yep!
@@BSpears I'm pretty sure you meant Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Yeah back then you only had what was called private chat which was only you and one other so game chat was the only way.

That was actually considered an improvement. Before the game would straight up end.
The host has ended the game? :D
The amount of ptsd u gave is froghtening
Sadly true. We were lucky to grow up during the 2000âs as kids and play the prime of the Xbox and Xbox 360 heâll even GameCube, wii, maybe even n64. It was such a revolutionary period for gaming and we were the first generation to truly make gaming a societal norm. But, we did grow up as the kids who were playing 360, OG Xbox are approaching their mid 20âs now, we just donât have as much time for gaming anymore and gaming itself has evolved. Middle schoolers rn are going to look back at these times and reminisce about fortnite, pubg. Thatâs just part of an evolving ecosystem and we were just lucky enough to have experienced the best era of gaming ever
Damn couldn't of said it better
Bravo! Spot on
Im 26 now, I used to smash out hours upon hours of halo 3 10 years ago. Just dont have the time anymore.
Like you said, we should all feel lucky to have been around during the best era of gaming!
Best era of gaming ever?
@@Sour-7 correct. Do you disagree?
Iâm going to be starting high school next school year but I remember those good times mostly just cause we couldnât get all the new stuff right away I mostly remember halo 3, gears of war 2, halo reach, and even a little bit of MW2 but not much that was the game my older brother mained mostly.
I was 11 when I first got onto XbxLive. I was in a rush to play Halo 3 online so 3 holes were drilled in my house to wire an ethernet to my room. In 2007-08 Xbxlive was at its peak and as a kid, I naturally assumed that with time, it can only get better from here. Now Im 21 and have lost so much interest in video games that it actually saddens me. I thought I would be playing forever but responsibilities and the struggles of adulthood got in the way. But even when I have free time, I have no desire to play games anymore. Nostalgia is so bittersweet because I think about how great it was in the past, and realize how the future will never be as great as the past.
NorthLyfeHollywood Same here
I'm also 21 lol. I thought I was the only one experiencing this. Every time I try to play video games now a days I just don't get that old feeling that I use to get when I was younger. I remember I use to play for hours non stop like Halo 3, Halo reach, Black ops 1 and GTA 4. I would still play video games when I get some free time, but when I do I get so burned out by it or loose interest easily or feel empty when playing like it's just not worth the time anymore.
Damn im 27 I still play games i took a few years off due to jobs moving and a girl then I missed playing games I missed the old days Mechassault halo 2 and PGR2, the 360 era was legendary, but now that I'm able to play games everyday after work I dont have that feeling anymore i get bummed out or bored with games. I lost all my friends from then except for one. I've made new ones but that's not the same either. Even with games that are really good, games that bring out the younger me, doesnt last, RDR2 got that feeling out of me but lasted only so long and I stopped playing. It's sad how things change so fast...
Highly recommend MCC
@@Kinoo67 Only games I play now are MCC and Quake Champions.

Always hated angry mw2 players, now i miss them all
Holy shit man word
Looking back at it, it makes me cry looking at all the good memories we used to have on the 360. Currently trying to hook up my Xbox 360 again.
Xbox died when party chat was made, forced game chat is basically non existent now and everyone either doesnât talk or is in a party with their friends
It sucks
Ayy Lmao So true đŻ I noticed the change right away when Black Ops 1 first released
It's because the One X doesn't come with a headset. That's just really stupid considering its price point and the social nature of Xbox Live.
The 360 had the cheap stock headset and everyone used it. The One X? Nothing. The system already costs more than ÂŁ400 and you have to pay yet more for a headset? Nobody does that and even I bought the cheapest one I could find.
Come on, Microsoft. That's dumb.
yep. i totally agree. i loved the fact that MW2 forced you into game chat
I disagree. Party Chat was a thing even in the days of CoD4 and Halo 3. My friends and I would go into game chat if playing with a random and just how we would in party chat. We would pick people up for customs, and shit talk people who told us to piss off. Most people in those times didn't hide away in party chat.
Who remembers being called a squeaker?
I was the one who called people squeakers!
@@salisburysings254 that was the cycle for me too! lmaoooo
erry day g
Alex Salisbury this made me smile from ear to ear, Graduating from the squeakers was one of the most rewarding feelings like youâd earned your stripes. Kids nowadays will probably never know that feeling.
Am I alone in this? : After being called a squeaker, instead of insulting back, you tryhard.
It is probably one of the reasons I am a competitive person today. In my mind, it was the best comeback to being called a squeaker. You would utterly destroy them and they would have to sit there knowing a child just beat them.
Iâm 20 years old. I started to cry during this video solely do to my childhood. I wish I could go back to the good ole days playing on Reach custom games with older guys yelling at me for being a jagoff. Blops 1 and 2. It hurts my heart so much. I just want to go back where I donât have to worry about bills, college or stress/money.
I'm turning 21 this year man and I got to tell you I grew up playing Xbox live since 2008 with cod world at war and later mw2, I remember playing free for all and killing some dude over and over then trash taking him, then he started saying racist shit cause he was getting owned by everyone in the lobby and I just kept laughing at him till he left cause he was salty as shit, I fucking miss 2008 - 2013 it was the best years of my life playing Xbox live.
-IvOutBreak - facts man.
I feel the same brother, You are not alone. But its life, We all gotta move on
Blops 2 was awesome. I played that game so much when I was 14! So much trash talk with noobs, so many stupid little kids, so much owning people and seeing them rage quit, etc.
6 years later, I'm now a 20 year old sophomore college student. Many of my Xbox Live friends I played Blops 2 with are no longer active. I still go on Xbox, but not on live because my interests have changed a bit: I have been playing a lot of single player games lately, and there are still a lot of single player games I have been interested in playing. I also like watching T.V shows, more movies, reading or looking interesting stuff on the internet, taking a bike ride once a week, and sometimes reading books. Even on days where I have no school and no homework (ex: winter break, spring break, some Sundays), if I were to play BOTH single player games and multiplayer games I would make very little progress on my other activities.
I do miss playing Xbox Live a little bit, but our interests change as we get older, and we also get busier.
@Leo Dancor Fuck you they were both amazing. I spent long nights on both don't you dare turn them against each other. All those Halos are just dreams, the best kinds of dreams
I miss summer nights, pulling all-nighters with friends, doing 1v1s in rust or all playing separate games but still talking, crushing bags of Doritos and boxes of pizza and bottles of dr. Pepper. I miss not having the stress of responsibilities and just being able to live in the moment, not caring about anything else in the world. Itâs nearly impossible to recreate those memories, but for my birthday, my friends and I stayed up late playing forge maps on halo reach and it was magical.
This sums it up perfectly. It's amazing to think that after almost a decade, Reach still has, for a game that old, a decent population. I remember meeting so many people through Reach, people I still talk to. I'm glad I grew up in those times and not the ones now.
Beautiful
Its sad how I can relate to this and goddamn age is real...im 22 now. Got rent, car note and all that lol. I miss team snipers on Halo 3
Vintage Same here. Almost 23.
Thats sad.
Modern warfare 2 one xbox live turned kids into veterans you got adults screaming that they where going to kill you and your parents now days every body is soft what ever happen to the golden days
Everyone turned in to a smartass.
I remember back then, I use to insult the living shit out of those man babies back then.
But now, mostly everyone is mature enough to know that if you rage and talk shit to little kids on game chat, youâll be easily slandered and labeled as a person with no life, who pathetic enough to only talk down to little kids.
Like honestly, whenever I encounter those types of people, I see them as gold mines to be rekt upon on chat and on a 1v1 match.
And hides behind parties
@Wilfred Willy @ me lmao
Ill give you 2 words. Overpopulating Parents.
@HAL 9000 What? Chats in games pre 2007 were just as "shit" my bud.

@@steviewanderer5109 lmao I never used to get banned
Party chat ruined the engagement of the game. That and you canât say anything these days without getting suspended. Kids wouldnât last 5 seconds in the OG days of Xbox Live in the early 00âs. It was the wild west đ
SmithandWessonBlazer wanna go back to the Wild West?? Gta iv has a lot of players (I found 9 the other day) and they were in voice chat!!

Supposedly there was a conflict between that feature and the newer firmware updates to the console and UI
Just read that as he saidbit
I used to think that feature was incredibly stupid, so my friends and I decided to just play the movie at the same time haha. It's crazy to think I would be nostalgic about it now.
Who still has like hundreds of their old games from the 360 looking at them like âwow I had so many choicesâ now Iâm stuck with like 5 or 6 choices now
For reals bro, I remember buying a lot of games back then. I have like 30 Xbox 360 game's, compared to my Xbox which I only have about 8.
âMy dad works for Microsoft youâre getting bannedâ
âTalk to me when your balls dropâ
Just a few of many hate đ€Łđ€Ł

yeah... :/
ah more insufferable bores
Yup, 20 now. Started playing mw2 when I was 12 without a care in the world
I want to cry!!! Reading that hit me with the feels bro
Thereâs nothing quite like coming home from school on a Friday afternoon in late 2010, booting up your Xbox 360, and jumping into some Halo Reach multiplayer. You complete some of your daily challenges and one by one you see your friends appear online. They invite you to a lobby and you guys party up to square off in some BTB, Team Objective, Invasion, or Infection. By around 6:45 your parents have been home for an hour or so and one of them orders a Pizza for dinner. Some thirty minutes later one of your friends notices someone building a customs lobby, so you all join up to form a full group of 16 players alternating party leaders every few matches. From here on you guys play for the next 4 hours or so and people start to drop out by fifteen after midnight. However, you and the 8 or 9 others left stick to infection game types and squeeze another hour of fun out of the night before everyone heads out around 1:30-2:00 in the morning.
Good times.
Tuckers Baby this was the definition of Halo 3 and Halo Reach for me, hours and hours wasted on people you never even knew...*sigh* good times.
Why is this so true with me back in 2009 to 2015 back in the day playing halo 3 halo reach halo odst cod blops 1 cod blops 2 cod mw2 cod mw3 cod waw gow 1 gow 2 and gow 3. Thinking about it all the time makes me depressed because thatâs when I was happier and Iâll never get to relive those times again
As lame as it might sound to someone else, this was legit my life growing up and I had such a good time. Miss those days.

FACTS
You forgot gears of war 1-3
Neon word. Add gears on there and this is the list. We used to play halo 1 online thru a computer program called XBC/Xbox connect, that you would use to form a lobby online with it-thru the system link option on halo. (XBL didnât drop just yet) The top of the H1 community on XBC is where MLG spawned from... They put together the first 50k Halo MLG tourney âMLG NYâ which was actually held in jersey somewhere... It was epic coming up during that time playing those literal game changers
Such a casual. Cod 2-3 were good. The normies entered on Cod4.
Yea now ur playing fortnite
Xbox live used to promote trash talking now you get a week comm ban for offending anyone
It never promoted that, that's just how people are naturally. Even CZcams is a place where people trash talk alot. Doesn't mean CZcams promotes or endorses that, it's just human nature really.
Roman Crusader the xbox live promo video promoted trash talking and even told people that if they dont like trashtalking just mute them

Honestly calling someone a wet noodle will probably get you banned...
Calling someone a Winnie or a Super Winnie would probably get you banned too.
Yeah soy boys ruined chat with all their crying about everything. The way I look at it, is there is a mute button for a reason. If you dont like what I'm saying then mute me. I'll do the same if you're annoying me. Problem solved instead of banning people.

I'm surprised you didn't mention all the censorship from Microsoft. Everyone with funny gamertags were forced to change them and people are instantly banned for saying any "bad words" over the mic or messages. The whole community was castrated in the name of girl gamers and not hurting people's feelings despite most of the market being dudes who want to talk shit but still have a good time together.

Soooooo true
Iâm 13 and I got my first Xbox for Christmas and I had always heard the stories of the glory days of Xbox live and I always wished we could go back to those days, I know toxic kids were a very prominent part of the community but I really want something I was never there to experience back. I feel a sense nostalgia for something I never was there to see.
Ill be 23 this year. I wish you could have seen it too. People actually cared about gaming in an emotional sense, and the laughs and triumphs were celebrated by all. It was like a huge party that couldn't be spoiled no matter what was said. No limits.
Iâm being genuine when I say Iâm terribly sorry you missed out! The absolute best memories I have from 6th-10th grade took place on Xbox 360 with some of the greatest people Iâve had the pleasure of meeting online. I quit playing for a few years to focus on school and my potential career. I recently came back to find that everything has changed and all of my wonderful friends are gone. I know as a working adult Iâm too busy for it anyway but I really was hoping to catch up with a few old friends. I hope eventually youâll be fortunate enough to have a similar experience! I cherish those memories.

It's very depressing and I wish we could all go back to the glory days. I spent a good chunk of my life on the 360 and I wouldn't trade it for all the amazing friends and times I've experienced. I used to be able to cry from laughter while playing a game because we'd troll some shit talker but you just don't come across it anymore. The 360 is what defined online gaming for me and I never would of imagined it would come to this and it sucks.
100% man. It really is so depressing. I wish I could get those days back
I got Ace Combat 6 for Christmas 2018, and there were literally 0 people playing.
R.I.P ACE COMBAT 6 ONLINE 2007-2017
Last week a guy was using a mic and me and my friend trolled him, we almost died of laughter because of his rage. It made our day, but its so rare nowadays
I played cod 4 and waw as recently as 2017. Of course hardly any one else was playing though
Who used to get together with 8 friends in different rooms and have LAN parties before Xbox live with games like halo1
I still do, for nostalgias sake i get 4 or 5 mates around and play halo 3.
Its dropping off as the years go by.
sounds nerdy but Iâm glad to have spent my late child years and very early teen years playing Xbox. Lost itâs momentum when I went to high school and now Iâm a freshman in college lol
THANKS TO GOD.
We will grow old, but we will never grow up.
Tbh when master chief entered in cryo once again, it felt like this was the end of the golden age in general
That's so damn true
Michael Myers and cops and robbers oh how I miss those đ
đđđ those were the days or playing zombies maps on black ops 1 tryna get high ass rounds
Or quickscope matches on black ops 1
KetchupDre oh man you guys being back memories.
Astro Dan those were the daysđ man why canât we go back now all we have is memes, no jokes and meToo 2019đ
KetchupDre I bought an Xbox one a few weeks ago just to play mw2 and black ops
I think the creation of party chat also kind of killed it.
The reason that xbox isnât in the glory days anymore is because you can get banned for putting literally any cuss word in a message. But for some reason they still allow people with gamerpics of half naked women. Please right me a comment telling me this, what sounds more damaging to a 9 yr old? A half naked woman as someoneâs gamer pic, or hearing someone drop an f bomb. Iâm curious.
Liked21 naked woman
My friend got a perma ban for trash talking in a message
Neither because society sexualizes tits and tits are just fatty tissue that can produce milk.
Vladimir Putin guy I work with got a seven day ban for sending a guy a message calling him a pussy. The kicker. The guy he sent the message to was on his friends list
I got a comm ban just for saying the word "gay", not even as an insult. Just a straight up comm ban with ni warning or anything

Btw I played on psn and lobbies were just as great as the xbox ones I watched on youtube.
that's just the cod community for you
Well...People grew up, Everyone hides in party chats now, and the kids these days will report you for sneezing too loud! But me personally I don't care anymore, when I *finally* find the time to get on I just want to play with my friends and have fun, not argue with 6 different dudes cause one said I'm trash lol. It was fun back in 2009, but I don't have the patience anymore to deal with people!
WeBe Flexin once you grow up and get a job it makes you hate most people for some reason lol
To add, all of the friends, and family, I met and grew close with moved on to bigger and better things in life. My first experience with XBOX Live was in 2007. I remember getting my new 360, Gears of War, and Halo 2 along with my personal internet connection for my birthday. I met two Gears players that I grew so close to, I eventually befriended their family who also played Gears. I was like a cousin. I also linked up with people I was friends with on MySpace. It was such a great time. I eventually graduated High School, moved on to College, and so did a majority of my online friends. I still scroll through my old friend's list when playing 360 games on my One X. I can still see the last game they played. Hits ya right in the Nostalgia.
I'm 27 now. I think I'm on the older end of the spectrum here. I remember playing Halo 2 online at its peak and going to the H3 midnight release (epic). Call of Duty 2 and 3 were also epic (which I'm sure most people don't remember or didn't play). Good fucking times.
Man oh man going to the h3 realise at game stop was awesome got so much free swag and even met a few life long friends whole standing in line.
@@jakehansen3418 It was truly amazing. Some guys had brought a truck with two TV's and two Xbox's with in the bed and played H2 on LAN. Great times.
@@narlycharley It truelly was an experience kids these days will never know.
narlycharley jake hansen me too bros...me too. Kids will never understand. nothing compares to those days.
19 đđœââïžhere, i remember all of this like it happened last week
Simple really, We got to experience unique and innovative games at their best before they got milked to death. Now a days games are stale and full of microtransactions.
Honestly nowadays I don't even get excited for games, whereas as recent as 2015 I remember being so hyped for games like the Witcher 3, Fallout 4 and MGS 5, Akram Knight, Bloodborne and more. Nowadays the only games I'm looking forward to are Cyberpunk, Red dead 2 (which is out already) and outer worlds.
The gaming industry is just not innovating like it used to.
It's true :/ but some game companies still care. Who knows how long that will last though.
Some genuinely good games are:
Ultimate Chicken Horse
Gangbeasts
Minecraft (play 1.8)
Rocket League
Race the Sun
Pummel Party
Raft
I have not have experienced the golden age of xbox live. And i'm sad about that, i would never ever feel the same way about online chatting as you guys. I wasnt able to experience Halo 3 or even COD. But, i was able to experience one game.... Minecraft. I loved that shit to death man, i met so many people there, most of which I will never talk to again. I wish i could experience Xbox live, but I cant, I dont want to pay for this xbox live trash on the xbox one. Games today are fucking MICROTRANSACTIONS MICROTRANSACTIONS. Thats why i only play nintendo games and older games such as mgs 5, etc. lol
@@user-jo8uh3gt7o I'm glad you got to enjoy Minecraft man!
Youâre making me cry đą. I miss those days
Bruh this vid actually brought a tear to my eye. 2007-2012 I remember having so many good times in halo 3 and reach, cod black ops and mw2, I spent so much time and got to know so many amazing people. And like you said, around 2012 ish it all really did just sorta fall apart. I still have all those old friends on my friends list, but they've been offline now for going on 8 or 9 years.. Now my game crew is my brother and a couple other friends, but no one from xbox live anymore. It's really sad, I'll never forget the good ol days, the glory days. Good times.

You touched on it briefly but one MAJOR reason why this ended up like this was the party system. Before it was introduced on the 360, EVERYONE spoke on general chat because that was the only choice hence you had your interactions with everyone else. I remember in the original xbox and early 360 days how hilarious it was to hear other people just being funny. If anyone was annoying you just muted them and spoke with whoever was around. Unfortunately once the party system was introduced it took a bunch on people who already knew each other out of the equation hence less and less people were able to even meet each other. Also letâs not forget that with the first and 360, Microsoft really emphasized the microphone use with live. This was completely lost with the one. Unfortunately MCC was the final nail in the coffin as tons of people just gave up and either went to the ps4 (who cares even less about socializing) or the PC which has tons of standalone chatting programs.
This, seems people here are only young enough to remember when the 360 had party chat. Socializing on the xbox 360 died once party chat came along at the end of 2008 (which is also when I started my freshman year) I even remember I spent all of my high school years only in party chat with my friends, the days of playing halo 3 or Call of duty 4 with strangers were gone. There were many times though I was alone because I would get home before everyone or I stayed home so I tried talking in-game chat. It was quiet, but there would be some people here and there. It was only Thursdays-sundays where you can really talk to people in-game because some people liked heckling others with their friends, or people like me who played more than their friends did. Honestly the saddest thing is when I quit xbox almost entirely after Red Dead came out (became PC only) and seeing almost nobody playing games anymore in 2011 onward. GTA V revived it for 6 months but after that it was completely barren again. Now it's already been 6 years since even that time.
Is mcc still socially active or no one use mics
This needs to have more views it's just not the same anymore I miss the good Xbox live days
the day the new console dropped. is the day people stopped talking
facts lobbies were never the same after the ps4 and xbox1 came out
VictoryRoad04 they are way too strict...iâve gotten banned like 3 times in a row for nothing. ill just keep my messages to myself
I just installed and opened Halo 3 (Xbox 360) on my Series X just for the memories, opened my old friends list, it's like visiting a grave yard. Truly a somber experience. Some of those friends I knew irl, and even then, some of them are already dead fr. I'm not even 30 yet and some of my friends are legit dead.
The glory days of xbox ended with the xbox one for 1 major reason: lack of backwards compatibility. Instead of having gamers slowly switch over to xbox one over time, they expected them to completely switch over to a new system that wouldn't have a system seller for 2 years. They split their fan base between old and new gen, and ultimately ended up losing them to Sony. The power of the 360 was the fact that everyone played on it. It was cheaper than the ps3 and it had halo. That's why it was the console of choice for multiplayer gaming. The golden age consisted of halo 3 and reach, modern warfare and black ops, and gears. Buy the time xbone came out all these franchises were past their prime, but that didn't mean that Microsoft had to die. If they had focused on retaining their player base, they would have thrived. Instead, they focused on gaining an entirely new player base. But they didn't have the hype of a game like halo 3 to sell consoles. They didn't have a new franchise like gears either. They just had nostalgia. Why not capitalize on that nostalgia and let gamers play their favorite games of old?
Very well put. Agreed
Agreed!
Jesus I miss the Netflix party option. Had so many great laughs with friends watching movies together
I definitely missed out on that one. I'm jealous..đ
I remember when I was literally dying at school just waiting to talk to my friends online and play games but now I barely pick up the controller
Yooo me too!! I was just like waiting for that bell to ring couldnt wait to get home! Now its like 2 friends i can have alot of fun playing siege but nothing else really
Same here.
Party chat ruined the experience big time. I donât have friends on live anymore, so when I hop into public matches itâs just dead quiet. I miss always hearing people talk about the game or their day to day conversations while playing. Just felt so much more like a community and contributed to the online experience.
Man, what great times. Coming home after school and playing with your friends everyday, getting in arguments with your friends and randos, playing the same zombies map over and over again and never getting tired of it. Man Xbox Live was great.
Holy crap I remember buying microsoft points to deck out my avatar... Doritos crash course!?!? what a flashback. I am thankful I got to experience the long nights of Left 4 Dead with friends, quickscope lobbies on MW2, and even Gears of War. I miss the simplicity of not giving a shit about becoming a "pro" or a streamer or taking things too seriously. It was just friends having fun. The only goal everyone strived for was to be a part of OpTic or to become 10th prestige.
Good times... I still remember my first ever Xbox Live gamertag "killingguy526"
Sxntana
bombers20, I believe this was the first gamer tag I ever had. Awww man warms my heart just thinking about it. I think the first game I ever played live was cod 2? Jeez I was 9 years old at the time, now Iâm 22 đ where the hell does all the time go!!
I haven't changed my gamertag since I got an Xbox.
Oh shit left 4 dead, Itâs a Shame valve canât count to three, l4d blown up then, IMAGINE IT NOW!!! It needs to be revived
Valve:Ok Teacher Why am I in kindergarten
Teacher:because you need to count to three dear
Valve:whatâs three??
Teacher:you know half life 2,Left 4 Dead 2 portal 2,team fortress 2 and all the other games you havenât made a 3 yet?
Valve:yeah?
Teacher:well now you can make all those games if you count to 3! Count to 3!
Valve:1....2....CARD GAME!!
Teacher:Takes a Bullet to the head
Sxntana also, my first gamertag was âiHaupageModz9â
@@snacksmoker5531 I couldnt agree more lol. I dont really play anymore but if left 4 dead 3 or half life 3 I would start back up in a heartbeat.
What ever happened to getting games that were finished and fully developed before release? And not early access and used Betas just for Marketing campaigns.
Those times are looooong gone. For fucks sake BF3's beta was a pre order bonus. Thats 7 years ago!
Ikr. I also think the most sad gamers of all time are the ones who feed into these marketing campaigns you speak of and post clickbaited overhyping videos everywhere. RIP gaming 2014. Devs need to start listening to us old gamers instead of these moronic dumb PS4 new gens
Zova yea
LordReef yea
@@Slurpified Only Devs I truly trust now are Rockstar and the devs that made the witchers (Forgot their name), the ones making Cyberpunk 2077.
It's so sad to see everything we've created and all the connections we've made disappear with time đ I will miss you all..
Did we all have the same childhood?
Nobody is on game chat anymore. And that is probably 80% of the reason it's not the same. Other 20% has to be that the games that used to be popping became old and WAAAAY overdone.
Jordan Dunn they need to make to where the game forces u to be in game chat. I play for 2 hours of bo4 and no one ever talks. Itâs quiet sad and I wish people were toxic so I can talk my shit
They also need to include free headsets with the console again.
The One X doesn't include one whereas the 360 did. Needless to say the 360 had a lot more in-game chat and felt more sociable.
Clarissa McPigeon probably doesnât come with a mic cuz they assumed that people who got the Xbox 1 x was just upgrading from there regular xbox one or Xbox one s which these came with mics
I missed so much. I got my first Xbox 360 in 2011 and I only caught halo reach, bf3, minecraft, bo2, and then all my live friends disappeared. I died inside knowing I'd never get to talk to those people again. Some would play till the next day and we would make good tactics in bf3 and build dumb things in minecraft. Then... Poof they havent logged in for a week... Then a month then... A year. I tried pc gaming it was to expensive and I couldnt get a job due to being in a small town. I use to love gaming. Now its a thing of my past. Ill always miss you Xbox live
Morrison Adams
Dang this hits close to home for me. I got my 360 for Christmas 2010. COD4, WAW, MW2, BO1, Halo 3 and Reach, BFBC2, BF3, Minecraft, MW3. Wow those were the days. Then we all grew up :(
Damn I felt this bro.
That was before social media became mainstream and around the time Facebook became popular. Then people started really buying Wiis and not really going on 360 anymore.
I had a similar experience after I moved to the PS4, I really miss all the people I used to play the 360 with đ
@IamOnlyArchon I moved to Ps4 with only a few friends from Xbox. From then we also met new people who also left Xbox to Ps4 to try something new. Theres still fun games to play nowadays. But it wont be as great as Xbox live golden age
I try to explain old Xbox live experience to newer Xbox live players and itâs like trying to explain politics to a kindergartener.. I miss the good ol days..
D C theyâll never understand unless they experienced it sadly.
Man loved halo with the homies online
Original Xbox live 2004-2006 were the best days of my life. Then 360 came out and it got even better
Same here bro I miss those times
The title should be the glory days of FPS shooters
I miss these days so much and Iâm glad I made some fiends back then because most people you meet online now only want to play one or two games all the time due to how much more casualised gaming is now with few people wanting to git gud at multiple games.
Marshall Panora itâs true. I have yet to meet any long lasting friends on Xbox. I havenât had pals like that since 2012
nothing like trying to butterfly up the wall in that certain map on halo 2 trying to get to the golden warthog
Battlefield 3 with Xbox live = a lot of friends
Its late 2018 and people are still playing Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3
Jarambe Jarambe123 wait really?
Alot of hackers tho
Itâs even better on the Xbox, since all Call Of Dutyâs are now backwards compatible!
Karrecod but mw2 backwards compatible was a flop i guess everyone wanted it and got it and no one plays it. I got it and played it for 2 days and quit because it wasnt the same as it used to be i didnât enjoy it like i used to
@@thomasteevan1599 It's not a flop at all. Even their sales increased and a lot of people are starting out from rank 1 after buying the game new. A lot play in game chat too and actually talk (with good quality mics too!) It truly is a wonderful experience and I genuinely recommend it.
I miss the Xbox 360 Golden Era. Switching on that console was like jumping into a magical realm of video games and connecting to Xbox Live for the first time was so unknown and exhilarating. Halo 3, all of the CODâs and Guitar Hero Legends of Rock! I wish I could go back
God I remember there will be like 5 7 year olds in my Halo Reach lobby and ill be cussing them out because they only uses amor lock. Man I loved the good old days
Let me tell u something , if u log in to mw2 public chat youll see the 2009 community still
I still play mw2
Cuz those niggas still stuck in 09 lmao
Nick Courie đđđ fr
Yeah just got on lmao
just not true is it
Halo 2 during the original Xbox days. I've had an account since xbl's inception. Those days you would get together with your virtual Xbox friends and do just about anything. Hell, I remember playing hide and seek on Halo 2 lol. The chat and community aspect has almost disappeared entirely. I only really play BF4 online now and don't use a mic anymore. Could never find a game where people talk
Same here. Halo 2's time was the "glory days" in my opinion. Proximity chat in game, no private chat lobbies and almost EVERYONE had a mic. If someone did not have a mic, they were the oddball out. Now it's the other way around.
I agree 100% I would wake up at 530am before school to play online best time of my life
I just donât like how everything is so polished now in video games. Part of the charm was how non polished everything was.
The golden era of Xbox Live: Rainbow Six Black Arrow, Project Gotham Racing 2, Halo 2.
it was an era u just had to witness... if u want the truth itâs cause games are terrible now honestly... thereâs no replay factor and these companies are money hungry. back then the trash talkin was at its peak and the campaigns had focus to them just as much as multiplayer and its gone forever... miss these times God bless
If they add permeant game chat on new games (good games) we could actually see people start becoming more of a community again.
That would be unfair for people who just want to have fun and not get shouted at.
Gary Kaelin games like csgo rainbow six leauge of legends dota 2 overwatch all have this game chat aspect you just wonât find it on a console
Get your Fortnite ass outta here. Go play PS and stay out of cod.
Sensitivity is killing fun. Not just in games, but everywhere. Modern day " adults" cant comprehend the idea of finding people saying outrageous things as funny. Also, they're trying to force everyone to act how they want them to act.
@@Liam-jy7yi All cod games used to have forced game chat and it was great
I think rainbow six siege and bo4 kinda helped revive Xbox live a little bit
no, everybody moved to Playstation
bobby s ps has one of the least interactive communities ever I used to play on ps
PS4 has sold 98 million, xbox one is at 36 million LMAO
bobby s Playstation isnât good
They had a good thing going and they killed it. With greed. Story of the entire gaming industry at the moment.
I hope they've learned their lesson and return to form next generation. I hope they start treating their customers the way they should. I hope they stop trying to scam and nickel and dime their customers and start trying to blow their minds. That's the way it should be.
I wish those days were still here, now it's try hard 8 year old fortnite obsessed Ali-a fan boys
At least we got rdr2 and rb6 but we got shit fortnite
@Raider 2747 i say fuck fortnite not because it's a bad game(i actually play it myself), but because the fanbase is CANCER
*Rest in Peace, Halo 3 Matchmaking*
This is a great vid, well done!
I miss the good old days!
Iâm so glad I was a part of these days and still have connections with the people I met. In 2018 I met about 8 of the people I met on Xbox live 11 years ago! I was 10 years old when we met and when I turned 21 I went to different states, some came to mine and we grabbed some drinks and had a great time. Xbox live really changed my life!
