The reason they attacked you right away in Dread Hunger was because you had the bone dagger out which only the Thralls (Traitors) have access to. You can use the dagger it to summon a army of cannibals, summons snow storms, or turn invisible with high movement speed to get away.

The Dread Hunger part is really interesting. Almost all of them were actually not friendly toward you at the beginning, even the kid was saying: "if I was the wolf I'll just kill him repeatedly", and one or two of them even thought you're a "假老外", which means "fake foreigner". But in the later clips, many of them started being friendly (or at least found the situation funny), such as when someone suggested kicking you out of the server, that kid defended you by saying: "Why would you do that? Don't kick him out! What's wrong with being a foreigner?" Well the guy (or guys, kinda hard to tell from the voice) who thought you were a fake foreigner apparently insisted that he's right even until the last clip, he was saying something like you can understand Chinese, you're just pretending to be someone from another country lol

[@Corky3D]

The bad thing is, a lot people will never understand that is hurting the community/game they love. New players come in, current members are super hostile/horrible to new players. New people will stop coming then the game will die not long after. I got Dread Hunger about a year and a half ago. Faced the same thing, constantly getting kicked or killed. Found a couple people that didn't kill me or kick me. That only lasted a short time. Got tired of wasting my time trying to join a server and never looked back.

Thank you for including me in your video Rye! I’ve just woken up to a sea of new comments on my videos, and you’ve absolutely made my week! Bloody path I love Dread Hunger, and you’ve hit the nail on the head in this video about just how unique an experience playing Dread Hunger is, and how difficult it is for me to move on from it. You have a beautiful community. Thank you for all the support today! You’re all always welcome in my hosted lobbies, if you’d like to experience just how fun Dread Hunger can be, especially with people who speak your language! Cheers, Plum.

[@vukilic2160]

Seeing Wolfenstein Enemy Territory on this list unlocked a plethora of nostalgic memories that I have with this game. I remember playing this with my dad back in what probably was in 2005 till around 2007. We had two PC's in the room, one for him and one for me and my mom, thinking about it now this was probably one of the very first FPS games that I played and thoroughly enjoyed for a long time. I will never forget the time spent with my dad and essentially bonding with him on this game through big ass CRT monitors. Thank you Rye, for unlocking these distant memories through this KZbin series.

[@sjors4230]

Ah man, i have like the same kind of nostalgia. I played it alot back around 2010 with my dad but especially with my brother. Every school vacation we played the hell out of it. Best of times.

[@MrNightmarekill]

Thank you so much for checking out Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory! I was the one who suggested it on Twitter, not sure if anyone else did on discord but I appreciate it very much! Will be exciting! The coverage you did on it was amazing, I learned a ton I didn't know about! There is another game I can recommend my brother reminded me of, called Tremulous, it has potential to be the most unique "dead game" I think! It's an Alien vs Human PvP shooter where you try to destroy each others base but get stronger over time, humans get better weapons, turrets, and the aliens can upgrade into stronger aliens, and put some type of defense down I believe. It's a really crazy game, released back in 2006!

[@unknown235]

wolfenstein enemy territory was the only shooter i spend so much time on that i became, he must be cheating good. that game was so addicting! and i'm not even a big fps fan. Tremulous, was my friends group go to game for lan parties, really unique game and made the matches really interesting. hiding your base as alians, and as human you mostly turtled, build defenses till you actually got decent gear.. similiar game to natural selection, but in my opinion way better.

[@MrNightmarekill]

@@unknown235 Love to hear you enjoyed both of those games as well! Some awesome stories you have :) Tremulous was incredibly unique and was so well made for its time, really is a hidden gem! And I believe people still play it to this day, hopefully we can get Rye to try it out :)

[@letaryat]

I wanted to suggest ET myself. Even if I'm not playing that much I still think that is the best FPS game that was made. I'm coming back to it from time to time and I think this is a good time to download et legacy again. I remember playing it 10+ years ago as a child.

[@deathisnear2424]

I really wish Xfire was still a thing. A few years back I wanted to see how many hours I spent playing ET. Probably 1k+, I would come home from school in 2007ish and play sooo much of it. Even being 14 or so around the time, I formed so many friends through the game, most of them being double my age. I still think of them from time to time, even coming 15 years for some of them. Such simpler times they were... My favorite map, of the official maps, was either Gold Rush or Oasis. My favorite unofficial map was one of the various Rats maps, it was a two story house with a tram on the stairs if you choose to take it over jumping up them, I forget the name of the map. I can still hear "We have captured the Old City! Dynamite the Old City wall." "They've reclaimed the Old City" "We have captured the Old City! Dynamite the Old City wall." "They've reclaimed the Old City" "We have captured the Old City! Dynamite the Old City wall." "They've reclaimed the Old City" Spammed so much while playing Allies on Oasis. I remember being a cracked as fuck player in it, but then I quit FPS's for WoW and my twitch shooter powers left my body...probably with age too...nearly 30 and I still want to go back to these times of vibing in ET with my friends.

[@1111Tactical]

The problem with WW1 games, especially ones in trench warfare settings, is that the vast majority of people hate "campers" especially campers with sniper weapons like high powered bolt actions shooting you from so far away you probably don't even know where they are...but that's literally what WW1 trench warfare was. Yeah when people dropped into enemy trenches it was different but most of the time it was stagnant with a wide open no man's land and people "camping" taking cheeky pot shots at each other because everyone basically had sniper weapons without scopes that ballistically could be effective at 700 meters or more. This is why I simultaneously am very annoyed by Battlefield 1 not being like WW1 at all with lots and lots of SMG's and automatic weapons when irl WW1 had 90% of people using bolt actions and maybe handguns...I completely understand why DICE did it. Truly authentic WW1 combat would not be popular AT ALL to mainstream shooter gamers.

[@fus132]

Coordination and call-in placement is key. Taking the trench in verdun is piss easy when the entire length of it is covered in gas.

[@galaxycraft007]

WW1 was the end of traditional military tactics, and the beginning of new tactics. Kinda both morphed into one.

[@MsGers2]

There's actually a mode in BF1 called "back to basics" that's exactly what what you want. Everyone can only use the standard infantry equipment for their country. The issue is that people are so obsessed with automatic guns that it never really took off.

[@A_reasonable_individual42]

I mean, I don't have a problem with it since it was fun and really got me into WW1, and now I'm enjoying isonzo right now.

[@AgamemnonTWC]

Verdun (and its sequels) is absolutely the best WWI game out there, and it's annoying to no end for me that "vaguely historically accurate WWI shooter" is such an unpopular genre. It's really a barrel of fun when you've got a big active server.

[@dubmeisterxd2133]

Fistfull of Frags is still one of my favorite source games ever. Even though it's been a long time since I've last played it, me and my friends still reference the silly voicelines like "Pass the Hwhisky!" and "Oooh, Santa Lucia!" all the time. I hope it gets a remaster at some point in the future, maybe once source 2 becomes more widespread. If you are looking for more dead games, I would check out these 3 games: one is called Wreckfest/Next Car Game, it was a racing game with realistic crash physics similar to Beamng, but it never seemed to catch on. the vehicle handling wasn't the best and it also had some performance issues. It does have a fair amount of people still playing it, but they seem to mostly be from Asia. The game also had a demolition derby mode that was very fun. The second game would be Spintires, a logging/mud-bogging simulator with realistic mud physics. Basically, you are in the backwoods of Russia and have to navigate through mud and rivers in your shitty GAZ truck without getting stuck. The multiplayer was pretty fun as you could cooperate to help each other overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. It wasn't really that popular to begin with, so I wonder if there is anyone at all still playing it. Lastly, I would recommend checking out the original (and in my opinion superior) Insurgency. Insurgency 1 was one of my all time favorite games. The gunplay and the TTK was absolutely perfect and the weapon modding was ahead of its time. Insurgency Sandstorm had a terrible launch and really failed to capture what was so special about Ins1. Things were getting better, but recently the devs of Insurgency Sandstorm were bought up by Embracer Group, who promptly fired the entire team and essentially destroyed whatever future the game had. I really miss Insurgency and it is really sad to see the future of the series get snuffed.

[@beowulfansgarX]

Ah, Insurgency, good times. Spintires was later rebranded Mudrunner iirc. Had a sequel called Snowrunner, still gets updated.

[@ResicAdorna]

I used to play Spiral Knights. Played it with a small group, but we all eventually hit the grind wall. Some of us stayed, some of us didn't. We did eventually disband - mostly because of the lack of content updates. I still log in to chill inside the hub sometimes.

[@PitbullMonster2]

Never thought I would see Tactical Ops again. That part bought so many memories back, I could cry. I've played this game for several hundred hours via LAN against my childhood friends. I miss those times really bad. 😢

[@TemmieFlakes19]

Hey, I been thinking about this specific video a lot since ive seen it because spiral knights used to be one of my absolute favorite games. I joined it because of a friend, and even after getting another friend to play I was the only one left playing it in the end. I loved that game. Lol, obviously- but the grind wall mentioned was *very* real. A lot of the times you'd be on there grinding instead of making any progression- because after a point it does definitely slow down. I think i joined in a weird timeframe- because i started when it was relatively active, i was even in a guild of sorts- i got to say hi to people every day as i got on the game, and at the same time witness it dwindle into a wasteland of afk people. One of the reasons i really had to stop playing awhile, other then the grind wall- was the fact i had run out of the games "revival" items. Of which you need the premium (paid) currency for. I already spent a decent bit of money on the game over time, so it came to a point where i eventually had to stop- and the players left didnt really want to team with me. I was too weak for the higher up crazy players, and i wasnt a newbie. I was stuck in a weird middle i eventually couldn't get myself out of in a dying game i still hold fond memories with. I really hope it becomes more alive one day.. the video made me wanna play again- but i doubt many people will play it anymore after so long of nothing new.

[@caboose967]

The amount of research you do is nuts. Keep it up.

[@MrDou]

Spiral knights is great, its like a "baby's frist mmorpg" since there are no real classes, no real skills, the damage types and status effects are easy to understand. Tho the game gets really hard on the last levels of the main story. As you said the first mission feel really easy and enjoyable, but i'd say that a lot of people stopped playing when they hit the "hall of heroes" wall. That mission requires you to get better gear to rank up and progress on the mission line. To get such gear you can use recipees to craft armor and weapons (tho you can buy armors and weapons from some npc vendors or the player market, its really expensive and not worth it), to craft you need 3 alchemy orbs of different tier for each recipe, and the missions you complete give you around 8 orbs for the tier you need to equip, thus allowing you to craft 2 of the 4 pieces needed to pass the hall of heroes. Therefore that leaves you requiring 4 more orbs of that tier. Orbs arent thst easy to come by, you can get them to drop from the reward crates around the levels (usually at the end of each level, near the lift), or you could also buy them from other players (or with real money from the energy shop). Another important thing is that energy, the premium currency, used to be a time refill currency that limited how much you could play, each level required you 10 energy irc to complete, it capoed at 100 for free but you could add more energy by buying (it still refilled up to 100) and you vould use it to buy stuff from the energy store. Not its just a premium currency like rp in league or golden eagles in war thunder. Id say the most crazy grinding the game faces is the grind for unique modifiers for armors and weapons but i'd say thats more of a "im at the end of the grind and i need a reason to play" . Also a lot of people quit playing when they get the free tf2 hat.

It's unfortunate how the developers threw the competitive community of verdun under the bus. Before the big update in 2018 there were many tournaments, often with real prizes, and lots of competitive players. The worst change for us in the big 2018 update was the removal of a game mechanic called jumpshooting, pretty self explanatory what that was. We asked if they could leave it in as an option in private lobbies, which would have been a win-win for both casual and comp players - they don't have to get shot by someone flying around, and we could keep playing competitively. But they said no, never explained why. That was in addition to just generally ignoring their most loyal players, countless in-game bugs (most of which are still unfixed), the bots which are absolutely terrible and much more. I'll end the rant with a rhetorical question, where would any popular fps like Counter Strike, Rainbow 6 etc. be today if they weren't competitive (meaning balanced, with skill based gameplay)? They'd be where verdun is now, dead. People like competitive games (Counter Strike), people dislike dying to bots and random grenades / artillery (Verdun).

[@josephine5458]

you add such a personal touch to these games and theirs stories that is much needed. i appreciate you shedding light on these lesser known games and the history behind the players themselves.

Dread Hunger will be missed

Is Double Action Boogaloo still a thing? Maybe it could be covered in this series

[@alfiecrabb4698]

Fistful of frags was so much fun when I was younger used to play with my mates, haven’t spoken to those guys for years

[@akselst]

Seeing you play Fistful of Frags brought back so many fond memories. I might need to jump back into that game. BTW. Playing the challenge missions will teach you a lot about the game, and some of them are also really fun.

[@TheGreySpectrum]

Call me pedantic or whatever but the way you pronounce "Wolfenstein" (when you even include clips of people saying it correctly) drives me absolutely mad

[@timomajere]

Wow, found this video simply because I decided to click ' New To you' Saw you go to Wolfenstein Enemy territory and got really interested. THEN i see at 25:37 You're actually on my clans servers! I haven't played the game in probably 6 years easily but something about all this seems to indicate i should try installing it again. Gonna let the gang know about this too!

[@TomášHýbel-i7d]

That's so sad bro... Thank you very much for this kind of content. It really touches my heart and reminds awesome playtime for some of us, and it gives a glance of awareness to revive some old gems for others.

[@Porlarta]

Too bad I missed you playing FOF, I play that game a few times a week. One of my favorites, glad to see it getting attention

[@thedarkflowkiller]

0:50 that time splitter soundtrack got me goosebumps. So many memories

[@benmak1039]

Was nice to see you cover Fistful of Frags I've had a lot of fun with that game

[@stevee2961]

Your videos continue to be so fascinating to me. Love seeing these experiences, communities and games I don't know. Keep it up Rye

[@sebastiangalvez1444]

I really like your content rye, i feel an emotion that i cant explain but it really helps me go through every day, i dont know why but i like it

[@elliottfrs]

[@MormotTheHog]

Please never fake your videos, coz i love the interactions between a random team mates in game

It's crazy to see how much your channel has grown in the roughly 5 months it's been since you found your niche

[@lemon5730]

Tannenburg and Verdun are some of my favorite games. I love the ww1 games. Thanks for showing them off

[@senddubs-pe7lq]

Wolfenstein Enemy Territory was the best game ever, I remember being 12 and lying about my age so I could join an 18+ clan 😂

[@rumbling9879]

Used to play fistful of frags a good amount with a friend back in 2016 when we basically just played free game; he always acted like it was a cool game everyone played I had no idea it was already around 500 players by then

[@Neeed57]

Sup

[@greenzombie535]

Merry Christmas. I love your videos man. Keep it up

[@sarnav94]

For some reason, I didnt expect to see Tactical Ops here. It was my first proper FPS game (even though demo CDs of some other games were more popular) in 2003 and didnt play anything else back then. It was always against the bots since 56k adsl modem with 100kps was slow as hell, but it was fun to play singleplayer too. Waking up early in the weekend just to play it till my parents get angry because I play a lot. All the other games like CoD, MoH, Wolfenstein, Unreal, Quake etc were great but TO:AoT was something entirely else. It was like a magical experience for me. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

[@averyheart4480]

I used to play Spiral knights when I was young, middle school to highschool, with a few friends. We didn't get crazy far, but we started a small youtube channel dedicated to fighting our favorite boss. We recorded like twenty runs of fighting Fluffy (just a big pile of fur, I forget the name) to get his armour set. I remember loving the style most of all, like all the enemies were charming. I was especially drawn to customizing the little fella, though it was always extremely grindy to get the nicer customizations. Wild to see a game I finally know in this batch!

[@szymonbielak4881]

Idk why but I love this videos, I didn't even played this games but watching this gives me some weird nostalgy feelings

[@PongoDaMan]

ive played wolf et since 2006 . past 10 years on and off, but that game will continue to hold a special place in my heart

[@isaacinkout1750]

Really love these videos. Thank you so much for taking the time and making these for us .

[@TheGumpyGump]

Kicking in Fistful of Frags is about the most fun you can have with a melee attack in games.

[@afd19850]

Loving the content thanks Rye!

[@lfknight8014]

Damn I had forgotten about fistful of frags for almost a decade now… was so fun playing it back in 2014/2015 when the servers were populated. Good times.

[@patrickhuber8630]

I love FoF. I don't play it anymore because of lack of players, no updates and hackers but damn, do I got fond memories

[@hole6114]

I was surprised to hear the maplestory temple of time song at around 22:00. 😊

[@Domz0r]

Awesome to see Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory in the list. I am assuming you played the steam version, Theres a dedicated group that over the last years have made a stand-alone version where they are able to edit and customize more things. Its been a game that has been going strong with a small community that largely knows each other very well. You even got playing "Return to castle wolfenstein" competitive, their last LAN was this year even.

[@MetalGear0987]

7:55 Everyone was confused why Tannenberg wasnt a DLC. It split the already low playerbase. The only thing keeping it alive was the clans. Then they made Isonzo, which has a new engine, which made the hopes for everyone shatter that the games will be merged like Rising Storm/Red Orchestra. They also stopped making real updates to the games.

[@charlesf9050]

I love isonzo I was a beast back in my prime.

[@MetalGear0987]

@@charlesf9050 Never played it due to the verdun/tannenberg split i figured a third split would make the game die even faster.

[@plastic5499]

Thanks for these videos Rye, I always end up coming across each and every one of them- and they are always entertaining to see all the many friends you made along the way. I hope you have a great Christmas.

[@thepunishment]

Damn, Enemy Territory absolutely brings me back to my teenage years, I was a very avid player and played pretty much every waking hour and was even quite good if I may say so myself. I honestly wasn't aware that it was still up and running and might just give it a go for old times sake, it's a very fun game, especially if you play with friends and keep constant communication since that's what's going to win you the match.

[@Crytica.]

Tactical Ops holds a dear place in my heart. The monster servers, the sniping maps and the simpsons map was so much fun back then

[@bigboy_tron2231]

Fistfull of frags gave me nostalgia, merry Christmas x H1Z1 aswell. I had a shit pc never knew i played such neach games

[@hugopaszzz]

Fistful of Frags is so sick!! Such a classic.

[@RSK412]

Fistful of Frags is one of the best fps games I've ever played in my life. Ive lost hours playing that mod. Truly a gem.

[@FOH999]

Can't wait to see a follow up on Dread Night with those same dudes acting all sad that their game is dead and shutting down, wondering why no one else plays their favorite game with them.
