Halo 1 on PC. 1v1 deathmatch, Blood Gulch, snipers only, no shields. My opponent was using an aimbot. I beat him 25-17.

It was before microphones were common, so he had to type to shit-talk, and he was much slower than me, but had a lot to say. I got a lot of kills by baiting him into rage. I got a few kills by throwing grenades around corners. But a good amount of them were just from out-aiming his aimbot. Lag was different back then. There were tricks and quirks to keep in mind.

He banned me from his server after the match, and when I returned under a different name, he had started banning people who chatted too much. Kek.
