Similarly to people saying ffxi copied wow, even though xi came out 2 years prior.
lol i tried explaining that about EQ (and many many others) Vs WoW (on the wow forums). My god the flames were impressive took me a week just to stop giggling when i thought about the rage they must have had while typing..
People only remember the latest big thing or their 1st mmo/game unfortunately.
Edit. And I would say goldeneye was the first fps, but I guess that didn't have duel joysticks

Hah, yeah. I twitch when people toute WoW as the first MMO. Also agreed with 007. And shortly after, Perfect Dark. But his post pointed at Xbox, so that what I touched base on. Also, if you go back and try to play 007/PD, you're like OMG HOW DID I EVER MANAGE THIS.
(Side note) Halo 1 has a "Legacy" thumbstick layout thats a homage to 007/PD. It emulates how those controls schemes worked for those seeking that retro feel.![]()
007 Goldeneye for Nintendo 64 - 25 August 1997. Paintball Mode. Legit, hands down, best FPS of it's time. NEver forget this. Then Halo, then Counter Strike imo...
Edit: Perfect Dark, how could I forget /shame
