I played FPS games before nightfire, even local goldeneye matches -- but I truly think that nightfire is what spurred my love for competitive FPS. Maybe it is because I was a wee bit too young to properly enjoy goldeneye, but I know how much people loved that game. Nightfire however, was new and shiny and seemed like golden eye, but objectively better (it was, and is).

I had fun with the silly campaign I played multiple times. When friends got together to play games, it was always nightfire at parties with rocket launchers turned on. For years I wanted to play Halo or CoD just to get those good local multiplayer nightfire feeling back.
