Back when internet cafes were popular; this game right here was the cool shooter game being played.

A cafe near me would host monthly tournaments and would pay 3 times the hourly cost to the top three with nuke button banned. We weren't really skilled in the game compared to the pro players; but we had our own weapons we were good at. I was good with SMG grenades and electric gun but never managed to hit top three; but all the matches were good times anyways.

There was a really good player that used arrow keys to look around instead of a mouse, and was insanely good with the railgun. Would somehow always end up at either first or second place. Wonder what's he up to nowadays.
