I remember I played a fighting game (a local one without English version) at LAN parties. It was very fun. My friends were all about the same skill level so fights were even.
And later there was a tool enabling "virtual LAN" and you can play against players online, over the internet.
And random people beat the shit out of me. Then I just realized that I actually knew like 10% of the game machanism. That was where I stopped playing.

This was my general experience with first person shooters. I was almost always first among my friends. Then Xbox Live came around and turned out I'm pretty bad at first person shooters.
