I remember back in 2000 I finally got a Cable Modem installed at my home. Games were incredible with pings of 50 versus 250+ with a 56K Modem. Another added benefit was the ability to use a telephone for in game commo with my best friend, Phil (no relation), as VOIP programs were in their infancy.
We played all sorts of games together throughout those years even when I went to college. System Shock 2, Tribes, Day of Defeat, Forgotten Hope, Desert Combat, AAO, and one with some great memories, Counter-Strike 1.6.
We did so much together online with our communication capability. For a while we did Ghosting where when one of us died we would scout as a spectator. Many LOL moments and this was way before wall-hacks became prevalent and players assumed you were just good. Then there was that one time that led to many like it.
It was the map de_cbble, we were playing as the Terrorists and round after round we were losing badly to the CT's. We were good enough to plant the bomb numerous times but the CT's would wipe everyone out and defuse the bomb. We nearly gave up until an idea donned on me. I knew that in earlier games we would boost each other up to higher areas such as the lighting fixture in cs_militia, I knew Bomb Site B had plenty of crates and all too high for one player. So in one round I had my friend Phil jump on my head and get on top of the box. Amazingly enough he could still plant the bomb and we knew that none of the CT's had our coordination and went to go defend the bomb. Suddenly we were taken out by the CT's whose entire team showed up and killed us both. They ran to the bomb site as it beeped ever faster. They circled left and right but couldn't find the bomb. They then all retreated from the rapid beeping but it was too late, the bomb exploded taking out the entire CT team and bodies flying everywhere.
We continued this tactic for many rounds making a comeback and continued this tactic on other maps like Aztec and even Dust.
