>>713138362 Absolutely this. If you weren't there for the OG Xbox boom, especially Halo 2 matchmaking lobbies, you genuinely missed a cultural moment. Everyone was talking about it at school, clans were forming, rage messages were flying, and it was the first time a console FPS felt like it belonged online. People who missed out just cope by retroactively downplaying its impact. You canโt recreate that kind of zeitgeist even if you emulate the game perfectly now.
