This was the best way to game with and chat with friends. I miss those days.

Didn't they have custom skins because I remember messing around with that and rocking some cool skins...?

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

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

Oh, I remember. Some of the games I played a lot would just crash if I had Xfire running in the background.

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

A blast from the past. Totally forgot about it existing until this post.

Wow this brought back memories of making bank in clan COD tourneys(=USA=). It was too easy back then, now gamers practice 6 hours a day.

I used this daily, had so many hours logged pre getting everything on steam. Was actually just talking about it not that long ago, was such a big part of my highschool years.

Remember installing it from my Medal of Honor disk. Was it Pacific Assault? I don’t remember.

I remember it being a thing I didn't use. It was like a voice chat/messenger thing with a built in game browser like GameSpy, right? I used TeamSpeak and some other tool mostly over xFire. I didn't know anyone else who used xFire so it was kinda useless to me. A lot of communication apps in the late 90's/early-mid 2000's had that unfortunate downfall for me. No point in using something nobody I would talk to uses 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think most people used it to find servers to play on. I know that's what I used it for.

I remember i had an account with my real name on it. I lost the password so my name was forever associated with an Xfire account i created as an edgy 14 year old. I msged support and they were like the most stereotypical americans ever lol "We cant verify if that ID is valid bc you arent from the USA but we will delete it as a curtesy"

Thank god for the GPDR, this interaction would go a bit different today lol
