Vikinor Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I say Battlefield1942 if you like running out on an open battlefield or sniping from afar or piloting a plane etc. Or Battlefield Vietnam which is more strategic because of the Vietnamese's guirella warfrare, but if you don't want to spend any money then go with Americas Army. Just because its free doesn't mean its not good. Or you could just buy Battlefield Vietnam and download the WWII mod for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight of Keno Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Originally posted by Arreat 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. Psst... Return to Castle wolfenstein MP is the only good MP... No Enemy territory BS And if you're thinking of downloading the RtCW MP demo, don't. It only has one map, which is the beach. Go and buy the game Don't know about Enemy territory tho'... Never played it, never will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 For something slower-paced than UT, you might want the Jedi Knight series or Call of Duty. I hear the Battlefield series and Star Wars: Battlefront are also good. If you don't mind other genres, you can try full-scale MMORPGs like World of Warcraft, Star Wars Galaxies or the upcoming (I think) Matrix Online.

El Sitherino Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Originally posted by Boba Rhett Jedi Knight. Perhaps it's slow now, but when I was playing. That game was all over the place. Which was pretty awesome, I just excluded it because .... he wanted something slower paced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XERXES Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Originally posted by jon_hill987 From what I have heard Counter Strike is to hard to get into now as the people who play it are too damn good. That and their assholes. I tried to get back into it at a lan center I frequent. I didnt play with the guys(cause their asses also) there I just joined a random server on Source. I was killed by my team for not buying my stuff fast enough, 3 rounds in a row. Now I havent played since before patch 1.03 or something so I was a bit rusty. But come on, thats ridiculous. So I try a different server and aparently it was a "clan" match, yet it didnt say so anywhere, and they didnt have tags on over half their names. They killed me as the round started (I'm starting to see a trend here ) and then the admin kept harrasing me when the team decided to let me live. So much for CS. I would almost argue that Halo 2 could be one of the better FPS games thats multiplayer oriented. Only if they released about 20+ more maps. But I am sure people would argue differently. Many of those d***head CS players at the LAN center call Halo "easy" because theres no recoil. Yet they never play it to put their money where their mouth is.

Rogue15 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 yeah if he said console, i would've said halo 2 in a heartbeat. it's so easy to get into and get a half-decent game going. reason why i was addicted to it til i got my compy. i'll probably cancel my xbl subscription before they get those damn maps out cause it's almost up and i need teh money.

You picked some crappy servers, I've only had two bad experiences and that was when some guy kept on teamkilling the team, and some guy was swearing at people through the mic. But the guy who was swearing was hilarious, and it was great seeing him get banned. Also, Halo 2 is easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wassup Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Originally posted by Darth Tepe Don't know about Enemy territory tho'... Never played it, never will It's a free game...why not download it and give it a try before passing judgement? Or are you worried it's going to take bandwidth away from your, uh, more obscene downloads? Enemy Territory gets my Stamp of Approval™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I wouldn't recommend America's Army to anyone. Seriously. Anything that makes you sit through hours of propaganda just to unlock some maps is ridiculous. And I don't approve of the army using gaming as a media for recruiting. Enemy Territory is the best free game you can get. It has also plenty of maps released for it. I'd stay away from the original Counter-Strike...people...aren't very nice there... BF1942 offers a good gaming experience. From experience, there is a lot more idiots here then in Wolf:ET but not enough to kill your fun. BF:Vietnam offers an average gaming experience. The problem is the lack of polish of the game, poor netcode and bad unbalances. Battlefront is cool, but on the road to its grave. If you're seriously into MP gaming, I wouldn't recommend it now. The investment might not be worth it. MOH:AA is pretty much dead now. I wouldn't recommend that either. I've tried playing a few weeks ago just to see only veterans remain. Obviously, I got my ass handed to me. Call of Duty is still well and alive. It seems like this one is going to still live for a long time. Tribes Vengeance is also good though you might find it too similar to UT2k4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue15 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 ah..time to get all defensive because someone is dissing my army. i hope your kids get drafted and sent to north korea and make you proud and regretful for not enlisting. eh disregard that, i'm just anti-anti-war/army people. sure the game is used as a tool for recruiting, and DAMN, after being at basic, i see how this could actually be a HELP to those that are in the Delayed Entry Program. but it's not like it's shoving 'UNCLE SAM WANTS YOU!!!!11' down your throat. It's probably as close to the army as you can get without actually doing anything physical. ok now time for phreakshow to come and say something retarded like 'rogue you dont know everyhitng about teh armay!' btw i just got done playing 2 hours of the game. it's alot like counterstrike, but without all these annoying 1337 people storming around.

It's probably as close to the army as you can get without actually doing anything physical. I'm not dissing the army, I'm dissing the "game" they made. Might as well shove in some sublimal messages. It's not being anti-war, it's trying to keep gaming from being nothing more then a tool for publicity and propaganda. It does shove down your throat a lot of publicity when you want to play a game. If you want to have the full gaming experience of America's Army, you HAVE to complete all of the "training", a lot that don't have anything to do with the game itself, more like showing the merits of being in the army. Look at other games made for training in the army like Full Spectrum Warrior. It doesn't shove nothing down your throat, no explicit and annoying publicity. IMO, it does a better job at "recruiting" people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiE23 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I played Americas Army last year (Older versions) Uhhg, no other game made me feel more like crap than anyother game. Guys mowing you down when they are running, getting blown to pieces by an ass who shoots his grenade launcher like a motar. Just..... save the 2 hours of downloading and go buy something else. >_> TiE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I downloaded expecting a fair amount of publicity for the army. What I got is more then I could swallow, especially all of the virtual classes and tests you had to take...they could have done it better by actually making the classes relevent to the game(like marksmanship or even paradrop classes were ncier).

Rogue15 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 well, at least it helps out those that are in the delayed entry program. i got bored of the stupid medical class so i just went back and qualified as sharpshooter then went off to war. XD heck, i think i fell asleep in that class when i was at basic. (prolly cause i completed the REAL test online getting like an 88%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
