I used to play on a few Day of Defeat: Source servers, and I met a ton of great online friends there. That’s because they were dedicated and moderated servers that kicked and banned people for being assholes, in or out of voice chat.
But… If you’re confident that you’re never going to see the people in your match again, it’s way easier to be assholes to them.
Maybe, but to me it’s voice chat + matchmaking.

This is the answer.
I made friends on dedicated servers. I got called the n word and told my mother was fat in matchmaking.
I had a select few servers of DoD and CS1.6. I saw in the millennium with some friends from all around the world while playing survivor.
Great memories.
Match making made things too easy and impersonal. You can only rely on a friend list now.
Heh it’s like the real world now I guess.
