!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Those are fundamentally different kinds of games. Sure, they're all first person shooters, but there are more differences than similarities.
I feel like it's the equivalent of saying something like: "Poker was DoA for me after growing up with fast paced card games like Uno, Slap Jack, and 52 card pick up."
That's fair. It's not to say that I didn't try the multiplayer in college. I was the only guy doing work-study with the network admin team so everyone needed me to configure their Xboxes for the campus LAN.
My favorite thing to do was to find a warthog and barrel around the map like a maniac trying to run people over. Still better than a dirty camper!
The Warthog physics made diving around like a maniac so much fun. Some of my fondest memories are of LAN parties, and Halo was always a staple.
