Arreat Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Im thinking of picking up an FPS game but I don't know which is best. Im not really looking into UT2K4 because its way too fast paced. Any recommendations?
Curt-Man Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Halo 1 not 2. the old goldeneye was alwasy fun too.
El Sitherino Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Originally posted by jon_hill987 Death match classic for Half-life 1. Heh. Dude, that's more hectic than UT2k4.
jon_hill987 Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 But it is very simple and fun. It can get hectic if there are more than 4 other people on one map though....
jon_hill987 Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 From what I have heard Counter Strike is to hard to get into now as the people who play it are too damn good.
Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Well, I never really liked Counter-Strike when it was a mod for HL1, mostly because of all the little terd burgalars who played it. But now for HL2, it is much more fun, and a little tweaked. So I'd recomend HL2. And if you want a more strategic one, go for Battlefield: Veitnam Tis a good one.
Mex Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Counter-Strike : Source. With the new bots you can practice, and the graphics are great.
legameboy Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Do bots come standard with Counterstrike: Source or do you have to download them separately?
Guest Jed Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 I'm loving Battlefront and HL2DM right now. Far from the best, though. MOH:AA ruled my life with an iron fist for nearly a year, so I'll go with that. There's still hundreds (thousands?) of people playing it online.
TiE23 Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Call of Duty is the best one I know. $20 at Gamestop, nice SP, awesome MP Its fast pace, but not to fast. Just have a computer that can give a smooth f.p.s. or you will lose, a lot. I think it is one of the most played MP games out there. And if you can, avoid the GOTY edition, mine had problems, I had to download the patch for it. TiE

CapNColostomy Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Battlefield 1942's great. It has a good community. At any given time there are thousands online playing. And there's the free total conversion Desert Combat mod that makes all the vehicles and weapons modern. There's also a mod for that mod called DCX (Desert Combat Extended). http://www.desertcombat.com/ http://www.dcxtended.com/

When you start up steam it'll download the updates, the bots are in the update, so I guess you have to download them serperately.

What's cool about these bots is that when you load up a custom map, it spends about 5-10 minutes to configure the paths for the AI, so while there are a few small problems the bots don't suffer from Jedi Outcast Syndrome.

Neverhoodian Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Originally posted by Darth Tepe Return to Castle Wolfenstein multiplayer!! w00t w00t! *Runs off to kill Allied scum and destroy various things Well, I've never played Return to Castle Wolfenstein's MP, but I heartily recommend Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory if you don't have it already. It was originally going to be a MP expansion for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, but they decided to make it a free stand-alone game instead. You can download it for free off the internet. Enemy Territory is an objective based Axis v. Allies style game, where one team (usually the Allies) plays offense while the other (usually Axis) plays defense. The objectives usually revolve around the Allies trying to either blow up some military equipment or steal some important documents, while the Axis try their hardest to ensure that doesn't happen. Each side has several different player classes to choose from, with each class being able to perform certain functions that others cannot. For example, a medic is the only class who can heal himself and others, while an engineer is the only class that can build and repair machinery and detonate enemy structures with dynamite. I highly recommend Enemy Territory. Download it if you haven't already.
Arreat Posted February 26, 2005 Author Posted February 26, 2005 I'll try downloading Wolfenstein later. IIRC isn't Half-Life single player only? So far right now I can't decide between HL, BF, or COD.
MTV2 Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 any game with Steam(HL2:DM, CSS, Opposing Force, etc.) and Farcry, Halo1
