FUCK!!! I won’t be home till monday :sad:
It doesn’t take long to get used to ut’s speed it’s getting down strafe dodges and off the wall double jumps during a firefight consistently that takes a while.
Well Im a console FPS/Xbox Live tard.
So the FPS I’ve played on the systems over the years were…(surprizinglym not all that many)
Halo 1-3(Had an assload of fun with 2, even if it did suck. Friends list FTMFW!),
Counter-Strike(Yeah the Xbox version, LOL. I recommend the PC version if you plan to actually play it.)
Doom 3 (Co-op, chainsaw, chainsaw sound effects over the mic, priceless!)
Perfect Dark Zero(This game was a shit piece),
Shadowrun (One of the most balenced FPS games around, combined with a party systems, a list of reliable friends, and its just a damn good time),
Orange Box/Team Fortress 2(What makes me a good Demoman? I love my pipes, goddamn. Do I love my pipes. When you can assemble a good enough team, this game slips right beside Shadowrun in balence and fun factor, PC version is mad supported…Im quite bitter that the same attention doesn’t go into the 360(which I own) or the PS3 version, what about us consoe heads, eh? We paid for your game too valve, why hate 
)
wtf!! i can jump off the wall in UT GOTY??? and all this time i was playing it wrong 
Man, you really need to get a PC if you like FPS like that. Just make sure to get a current Intel CPU and a current ATi graphics card and you’re good
Mouse > analog stick
Far Cry 2 is going to own.
^Actually I disagree. For some games mouse feels more comfortable for others 360 analog pad works better but that’s just me.
if this works well I’m going to buy a 360 and fuck up halo just for kicks
Fuck…all this talk inspired me to reinstall Quake 1. I forgot how beastly those goddamn fiends were! Gotta figure how to get this bitch online now…
Single player: Half Life 2 or Call of Duty 4. Any shooter that makes me feel like the action hero in a big immersive action movie, I will love
Multiplayer: Planetside, Battlefield 2, Perfect Dark 64, Call of Duty 4. Different flavours for whatever mood I’m in.
Goldeneye. I think I played Doom once earlier but I wouldn’t really count that.
Perfect Dark 64. I thought that game was infinitely superior to Goldeneye (which hasn’t aged well) but nobody seemed to respond to it as well. If that game was remade today with pure 60 fps, I’d so play it.
Planetside. That game was in many ways a dream game for me (BF2 wasn’t out yet either) but I guess the fee turned many away. Wasn’t too balanced either.
TF2 deserves better recognition too because of how well designed it is.
Dislikes? I don’t like the Halo series outside of being an average shooter. I just don’t like the way it plays at a higher level. I don’t care for Crysis, Far Cry and any shooter where the sole appeal is the graphics and although I thought it was a good game, I felt Bioshock was overrated. It didn’t really do anything new and I think was only worshiped by console players who haven’t played anything other than Halo and Goldeneye.
My PCs have always been behind the times. This one here can run CS-age games(so yeah I got CS and Team Deathmatch on this thing). But I tried to force it to play TF2 (my friends on xbox live all migrated to PC, leaving me with the dinosaur version) and I got as far as the loading screen and then BAM, error message that basically told me to GTFO.
Unfortunately, me getting a new PC (the one I have was given to me, and appears to be a bitch to upgrade) its just out of the question with the funds Im rolling with atm. I mean damn, Im litterally breakin da bank to get to SB3 this year :lol:
Perfect Dark was a shooter I remember and definately loved its MP, that laptop gun was the shit. That soooo needs to be re-released on XBLA or something.
Planetside was incredible when it was first released. Seeing 1000 people packed in the Sanctuary on the opening week with dropships all over the place and squads forming = ahead of it’s time.
It was buggy and laggy as hell, but it was a fantastic game.
With that said, it was the first (and only) case of game ruined by the future game-changing patches. Not game changing in that good way obviously.
That ID super pack sounds nice. But as much as I love buying things off a steam, I already have those games in one fashion or another.
Call of Duty 4’s a popular fps as well. As is Half Life 2. I favour a lot of games that are mainstream.
That’s just a matter of taste. The physics, the use of melee combat and the shield mechanics don’t appeal to me.
Games that I like and games that I consider good tend to go in very different categories.
If I recall, the appeal of Far Cry was supposedly the AI (which didn’t seem all that special) and that you didn’t have to be stealthy in the stealth parts. Neither of which I thought were implemented well. Far Cry is also part of the family of games where the developers prefer to have all the good stuff in the beginning and have it go to shit in the end because nobody will finish the game. While I understand, I can’t stand it.
The art style was okay but before you got to the twist, the plot felt like it was badly written and not because it was confusing (it was good after though).
Electrocuting or setting enemies on fire is hardly new to the genre. Upgrading weapons or ammunition changes were simply a few damage modifiers here and there. It may not have a place in too many shooters but it’s hardly revolutionary.
If by environment interaction, you mean hacking, that felt like a silly gimmick that got tedious after the third attempt and only extended play time. I can’t think of anything else referring to environment interaction.
I remember a few mags (EGM being one) feeling reluctant to go beyond saying “multiplayer’s got lots of options.” The majority of people I know also tend to only refer to Goldeneye when they talk about nostalgic fps.
uh, news to me 
Crysis and Far Cry may not have the best multiplayer, but I think their single player modes are pretty engaging personally. Partly because of the graphics, but to be honest, that IS one of the things I’m into. The graphics. That’s why I buy shit like Radeon 4870’s and Intel E8500’s. No way I could take advantage of such hardware with games like Counter-Strike and whatnot.
Yeah I hear what you’re saying. You can actually build something solid for around a G, but that’s about $600 more than say, a PS3. Me, I don’t even own any consoles anymore.
UT3’s dodging is not as far nor as high as UT2004’s dodging.
I liked FarCry, until those mutants appeared. Didn’t like them so I stopped playing.
Whoever mentioned Skulltag, thanks! Doom multiplayer is dope.
Aight because by saying “I don’t like how it plays at a higher level” to me it sounded like you were being condescending but it’s cool if it just doesn’t appeal to you. It’s funny how much hate the halo series gets just because it’s popular, I mean yes it’s hella overrated but h2/3 have very solid multiplayer gameplay and more modes then any other fps to date. My only gripe is how terrible the melee system in h3 is so fuckin retarded that 2 people can clock each other to death at the same time, double KO’s only work in fighting games:rofl:
I always thought the main appeal of farcry instincts predator was being able to go guns blazing+feral powers rape in an open jungle setting, the AI was kinda inconsistent but overall pretty good IMO. Haven’t played it since 06 but I remember quite a few times where it was definitely more advantageous to be stealthy and where running and gunning would get you found n killed. I don’t recall the beginning being really good and the end of the game being crap, far cry was just plain fun and I was impressed with the visuals of the 360 port considering they had less then a year to port it. Multiplayer map editor on console was awesome lol.
I didn’t say bioshock was revolutionary just that the gameplay in general was unique from other tradtional fps’s and by interactivity with the environment I meant all the objects you could use together to damage enemies.
IMO crysis DID revolutionize multiplayer fps online DM is pure awesomeness with everyone running around with a nanosuit; speed, power, n stealth all feel very well balanced. Power struggle mode is exactly the kind of shit that more fps need to have there is so much depth to this game but at the same time it’s never feels complicated. It’s not perfect but I’m sure the sequel will smooth out the rough edges.
My favorite FPS series is definitely Half-Life. I was a little cold on the singleplayer of the first game, but I logged hundreds of hours on deathmatch, and a lot of time on TFC, too. I got really sick at HLDM. It’s the best I’ve been at any game, I think.
Half-Life 2 was amazing, and the expansions owned, too.
Halo has the most multiplayer modes?
Haven’t heard much about Crysis Warhead. I’m mostly interested in Left 4 Dead, which I originally heard it was just suppose to be a simple Source mod. Now it is its own game using the Source engine. It’s also going to be charged the same amount as a full game, and if this is true then I’m going to be so very sad. :sad:
Crysis: Warhead, from what I know, is basically Crysis from Psycho’s point of view.
Should be dope. We know he went on a few cool missions.
His Assault level might be a bit more boring though, as he was checking the area and sniping.
