"The noob-cannon was removed (finally!!)" - It's still in my bag of tricks.
Good times, great article. I can remember the old sports BR maps that I used to run on my UT2k3 server and always wanting more. I switched it to DB 1.0 and people complained, but grew onto it and many of them are here today.
I remember starting up a clan with some nubs that were in my old BR server and having a rival in NS, L7, and SoP in the early days.
I remember caring about csports rankings.
I remember seeing someone do a nub cannon a long time ago and then perfedting it.
I remember coming up with the idea of only scoring volley goals in a server until the server filled up.
I remember the gay pride ball trails.
I remember V3 ruining DB for everyone with thier broomsticks. We lost to them by 20 goals in the DBL in our first match and beat them by 1 in our 2nd, that was my best feeling in DB.
I remember PDB, the hacking of DBC, and the ninja invasion.
Who can forget Surge? He's back again.
Oh well, I am just reminiscing, maybe some of you will remember some of those things, good times.
DB has been a steady game for 2 years now and it is the only game I have played steadily. I hope it keeps growing and new stuff(like tracking stats) keeps happening. Hopefully this mod will win MSU outright and become a retail game eventually. GGDavidM.

Cool 
I remember starting in 0.9, and playing that through 1.1 only on my own server..starting out with 1on1s with my friend MaKa
and occasionally other people joining (I remember Metafrank o_O lol)
I remember skipping 1.2 and coming back @ 1.3 and somehow that just got me hooked, the announcer etc. just made it feel complete and I started pubbing
I think I joined FCU in 1.4 or so? not really sure I remember hanging out on the planetdeathball forums.
Everything with DB has been wonderful, and although I haven't been able to play (much) the last few months because of connection problems, DB will always be in my heart
Definitely the best multiplayer game I've ever played.
Aah nostalgia
edit: I remember the shot cancelling
never got it too work..tried it three times, got shootbug three times..never tried it again ;p
You're just saying that because you lost your CB title to DEUS on that
ps: Best addition ever? Postsounds imo D:
What do you guys think?

when you had a firebutton pressed you just had to press the other one to cancel or so....
well most of the time it created a shootbug
"You're just saying that because you lost your CB title to DEUS on that"
yeah, i designed the game so my team is good with db...you know!
man this was a running gag back then

Good article... from that I worked out the day I first played DB on-line ...Nov 27th...
Best addition to deathball...
"Bounce mode was added (ball bouncing off of you when you held RMB)"
I remember when I accidently did it while robotojon (then twix) was round my house, when I introduced him to db...we practiced it, and spent a while pwning with it. (back then, it was a good way to score a quick goal...too slow now usually)
Best version: 2.2 (duh)
Worst version: 1.5
(partly cos it came out half way through a season in dbl, and the day we were due to play cy)
ggdavidm (really)
P.S. Old tribun (smaller version) was far better...sediment rocked...so did ship tbh...bring them back!!!11

middle old tribun maybe
sediment.........now! luck^10
ship....agh no
no room at the sides of the goal. the walls visuals look nothing like its actuayl gameplay geometry.
he wanted to use big pipes and all kind of shit, i said it plays shit, he put a big blocking volume over it, now you've got invisible walls. impossible to play a proper wallpass, no thx

I still maintain that sediment, played 6 a side, with players who know how to pass with lmb, would be a good game.
I think we (you
) need to make more of the original db maps usable again...eg no1 plays tribun anymore, change it back (to middle-old tribun)...walls sucked on ship...fix them...
I also think we need more maps like november, with no walls to whore...I've had lots of superb games on that map...especially VO

i love the dribbling ( but if i can do it , it was removed)
and i love boxdefending on public
i remember 60 kills in 1 match (double kills, ultrakills, and 1 monsterkill) hehe
^^and no death
i dl db from 1234 server , dont know witch version , it was on okt 2002
i leave my first game in 5 min and come back as spec.<---noob
the other gays play it very well and i destroy the came , also i watch db 1 hour , as spec , and start it again .
i play very good , i was everytime free as wingplayer (hm ) and pass the ball in the pbox (goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll)
i often play sweep , because all player run to the ball and no def.
i found the point system better (i was everytime 1or 2 ,100-200 point)
pass 2 points , inters. 2 points , kill 2 points<----- i love this
sry for my bad english:D
