Oh god. I must have had 2000 hours logged on jedi academy with xfire. Brings back memories.

SilverFlame,

Me too, but it was Civ 4 instead of Jedi Academy

I used to love this. I remember it getting very buggy though towards the end. I think this turned into raptor later on or something like that.

tifa0080, do games w Anyone remember Xfire?

I used it every day. RIP my gametime statistics for BF2.

PopcornPrincess,

Man I used to stat pad with the boys on BF2 and camp. We were a troll squad. Such good memories.

MyDearWatson616,

If flying a fighter jet in real life was just like flying one in BF2, I’d have a very valuable life skill.

IMongoose,

Same, but with helicopters.

Xfire was my bastion with my totally legit copy of Call of Duty 4.

VicentAdultman,

CoD4 was fireee. Dude, CoDJump, Zombie mod, and on top of it all promod to make the game competitive.

I used this and Hamachi for years

ArmoredCavalry,
@ArmoredCavalry@lemmy.world avatar

Ah yeah, I forgot about Hamachi! It was great for games that only supported LAN multiplayer.

candyman337,

I used hamachi because no one aside from me in my group of friends knew how to port forward, but it didn’t work on my network and it took me 4 years to figure out it was because at&t has it’s own network on it’s dialup modems by default.

They still do that to this day with their fiber modem/routers! I hate it! And even if you do passthrough to have your own up for only your router, your ping is still never below 23ms because there’s two stop points in the chain, that and at&t’s dns resolution is ass.

Damn internet oligopolies.

aBundleOfFerrets,

The nice thing about awful isp dns is it is trivial to make your router just serve cloudflare’s instead (1.1.1.1)

candyman337,

I think I’d have to change it in their modem but I’m not 100% sure, I remember having troubles the last time I tried this

RogueBanana,

That is if u want it for the whole network but u can set dns in ur devices as well. It’s usually under ipv4 section for pc and connections on Android.

Terraria before proper multiplayer support was our prime Hamachi game. We had like 7-8 people from an internet forum playing on and off through our hamachi virtual network.

Awesome times!

3ntranced,

I still have my old terraria group instances saved with the eloquent passwords such as “butthole” and “42069” for ease of reference.

Redditiscancer789,

I played a lot of sup comm fa on there myself. I also used gameranger as a match maker for some of my more…busted…games.

Hell yeah. Xfire, Counter Strike Source, and Toonami made up the bulk of my childhood. I hardly hear it talked about anymore

@ArmoredCavalry@lemmy.world avatar

The only reason it came up again for me was I noticed it in some old computer files, ha! Used to be my most used application by far.

Rolando_Cueva, do games w Every game developer company should be like this

Amen to that!

I had forgotten it until this post.

DrQuint, do games w Anyone remember Xfire?

I remember disliking it. I don’t remember why

PeachMan,
@PeachMan@lemmy.one avatar

Yeah I think I ended up trying it an Ventrillo, and I preferred the latter.

AngryAnusHornets,

For me it was because most people were on AIM anyway

Never knew anyone to use this

I was an mplayer user. They had plenty of quake team fortress servers.

Did you pronounce it X-fire or Crossfire?

Dran_Arcana,

X fire, but in my defense I was eleven

    English is my 2nd language, so I always read it as “X” Fire. That;s funny, I never though about it.

    Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever,

    A lot of, generally Japanese, media uses “x” as shorthand for “cross”

    A friend always called it “christfire” because it pissed EVERYONE off

    Let them know I'm taking that for my new band name.

    @LennethAegis@kbin.social avatar

    I remember in Paper Mario: TTYD one of the late game tattle entries on a X-naut enemy clarifies that its pronounced "cross"-nauts. This game had me mispronouncing the villain team's name the entire time until the end.

    full_on_rapist,

    Hence the cross button on PS controllers.

    secret301,

    X usually stands for cross. Some road sign will say train xing or deer xing

    squaresinger,

    Sometimes X is also used to abbreviate Crossmas.

    NAM,

    Christfire would’ve gone hard.

    Duke_Nukem_1990,

    More recently X also represents a heap of shit.

    thrasherv3,

    I never even considered it might be pronounced crossfire…I am stupid.

    AngryAnusHornets,

    Same here…

    tifa0080,

    I think I remember an official statement saying “X-Fire” was correct, and “crossfire” was wrong.

    SilverFlame,

    I dont even need to watch this video, I can hear the thumbnail. Don’t get caught in the CROSSFIREEEE!

    I actually convinced my parents to buy this for me, played it once.

    HotboxedSubmersible,

    I cannot read the word crossfire without that song latching onto my brain.

    SilverFlame,

    The commercial is a masterpiece of 90’s child-centric advertising

    MrGerrit,

    Do you call the button on a controller X or cross?

    ChicoSuave,

    I could be wrong but I call it the D pad

    MrGerrit,

    I mean this button.

    TheIllustrativeMan,

    “Ex-fire”. “Crossfire” was an AMD thing.
