Most of the banter / jokes were an extension of what kids did at school / university. Gaming is a rather new phenomenon and back then you would have mostly high schoolers and uni kids playing Call of Duty.

To be honest, in many ways, multiplayer in these days is such a toxic place - look at Twitch chat - that it takes out a lot of fun from it.
