Favorite Computer Game

[playafly187]

so what game is at the top of your list? as of now, I am into FarCry...

[techniq]

Battlefield 1942 is on the tops of my list right now, mainly because of Desert Combat (http://desertcombat.com) and Desert Combat Extended (http://www.dcxtended.com).

[MASSiVE]

ive played em all and now im back again to MAFIA, addes some sweet lookin cars, freeride mod etc.. i just love this game, those missions, the reality, the surroundings, the acting of the people in game are truly wonderfull, so im veryy happy now coz MAFIA 2 is coming 8)

[KryoNexus]

Desert Combat and Desert Combat Extended for me.

Same here.

BFV

[KryoNexus]

Vietnam is nice, but it requires a pretty stout computer to play it with any details being seen. i like it, it's just not the type of game i can play after work :-)

[Beemer]

Box at home rocks vietnam, but I like the gameplay and weapons in dcx that and dcx runs on my work box :wink:

[MASSiVE]

now i got Painkiller, superb grafix, MP is really good, levels should be a bit bigger but overall its a good FPS, been a while since ive played a good FPS

[siq]

Call of Duty and Command and Conquer Generals/Zero Hour.

Yeah, definitely pushes your system to the max...kinda dissapointing after building this semi-asskicking system to still have to close some services and applications before playing it.

I guess that it is the benchmark to test your system for playing the next generation of games.

I still like it though...there are some cheesy parts, but all in all it has an amazing degree of realism. Just wish the bots acted like soldiers instead of gamers. (not intended to be a cut...i.e. a jeep with only a driver driving through the middle of a bunch of NVA, an M-60 tank spending 5 minutes pushing against a wall)

[fstroupe]

Upped my Vcore some...helped a lot.

[silenze]

Hm.. I found painkiller a little too much like Serious Sam.. hehe

I've been hooked on Far Cry .. playing online, especially in 'Assault' mode -- fun stuff.

[Beemer]

I have heard a lot about Far Cry, sounds like people really like it. I still havent got the chance to play it.

[silenze]

The single player was pretty good -- prolly the best FPS I've played since half life.

Multi could use a patch, but it's fun regardless.

[Beemer]

Looks like I will have to find someone to let me *borrow it* :lol:

[playafly187]

I have heard a lot about Far Cry, sounds like people really like it. I still havent got the chance to play it.

there should be a demo available online...

[fstroupe]

Hm.. I found painkiller a little too much like Serious Sam.. hehe.

Downloaded the demo a couple of weeks ago. Nearly bought the game the other day, but didn't.

[silenze]

I don't know if it's changed now, but in the first demo released you couldn't even change controls so I didn't play it. :(

[playafly187]

hrm, i wasnt too impressed with the painkiller demo...

[silenze]

hrm, i wasnt too impressed with the painkiller demo...

Too repetitive and Serious Samish, I think.

[MASSiVE]

its a hack&slash game, dont play it for the storyline, altough the story aint to bad to, MP is way better, but they should have mad the maps bigger coz when u play people can fly its really really small but alot of fun, now im playing Priston Tale again :D its free :P

[silenze]

I dunno, this might take the crown... http://www.jamesbambury.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/unreal3_0002.wmv

[KryoNexus]

wow...crazy graphics. might have to get a new vid card for that one :-(

[playafly187]

yeah, i like how at the end they said it had previously only been run at like 1-2 frames per second but the new geforce lets em run it half way decent....

[silenze]

I like the; "This single character model we're viewing has more polygons and texture maps than an entire level in unreal 1" not exact wording, but you get the point.. or just watch it! :P

heheh

[siq]

amazing. gaming has finally started to hit a new level. i love the 3d distinction in the stones on the walls and the brick

[fstroupe]

I have heard a lot about Far Cry, sounds like people really like it. I still havent got the chance to play it.

There's one at gamershell. You can actually hide in a bush and everyone doesn't see you. So far, it looks like a game that you can't just bust up and start killing everyone...you actually have time to sneak around.

[silenze]

YES!!! It makes multiplayer that much more interesting.

Heheh.

I'm hooked on the online play, the bushes are your friend.

I am one with the jungle.

[playafly187]

YES!!! It makes multiplayer that much more interesting.

Heheh.

I'm hooked on the online play, the bushes are your friend.

I am one with the jungle.

if you think about it, it is best to run your detail settings to lowest when playing multi. that way, you dont have a slew of bushes to hide your opponents.

[silenze]

well at 1600x1200 on high details I can see ok hehe

Plus: the guns all have mounted lights, so you can see when people are aiming at you, usually.

[playafly187]

does anybody remember the game Kingpin? it was a first person shooter, sorta. it was released probably 3-4 years ago. the sequal was supposed to come out but never made it.

few links to refresh memory:

http://www.game-revolution.com/games/pc/action/kingpin_review.htm

http://archive.gamespy.com/games/131.shtml

[silenze]

Yep played it a long time ago, wasn't bad.

[KryoNexus]

never played it

[Beemer]

never played it

same, never heard of it really.

[siq]

I heard of it. I never played it though.

[playafly187]

it was a really good game, althought i dont think it got much media attention. i think the 2nd one is due out sometime in 2005...

[Roadracer_4ever]

Current fave is Wolfenstien Enemy Territory, it's free and comes with some pretty cool mods as well as the source code should you want to create your own mod or map. Far Cry from all of your raves sounds like the next one on my list to purchase...already have the demo, just never installed it.
When it comes to racing games, I'm a HUGE! MotoGP2 fan! Online play is great, and being as I'm a racebike nut, it's one that ranks up there with me.

[silenze]

Ahh yes.. racing games - I like Hot Pursuit 2, heheh.

[techniq]

does anybody remember the game Kingpin?


I played it (actually bought it back in the day). Not a bad game at all. Its big perk back then was its language and blood. It still is probably one of the worst "mouthed" games I've played. I dont think I ever finished it though.

[silenze]

Picked up BattleField: Vietnam over the weekend... Fun! :D

[KryoNexus]

silenze download desert combat and desert combat extended

[silenze]

Hm this work with Vietnam too ??

[KryoNexus]

nope...gotta have 1942, but it is dirt cheap now and worth it for all the mods

[silenze]

Bah, Vietnam has the upgraded engine and will have better mods in the future. hehe

Hm wonder how cheap...

[fstroupe]

Picked up BattleField: Vietnam over the weekend... Fun! :D

Yeah...it absorbs too much of my time. I use a joystick to fly the jets (can't fly choppers), but can't make my gamepad work. I notice a lot of guys use gamepads, they always are walking sideways. I guess my favorite map is Flaming Dart, playing any role.

When you master the current maps, here are some more:


http://www.redthor.com/downloads/f-bfv_map-pack_2.exe

You will also need this mod:

http://www.redthor.com/downloads/derfire11.exe

There are a few servers that play them. One is RedThor Continuum. The new maps are: Smoke, Jungle Hunt, Riverside Village, The Temple, and Last Light.

[silenze]

Hey thanks! I'll have to check this stuff out.

I haven't played much yet, yeah the choppers are interesting to get used to, I've been sticking to the ground for that reason.

So far it's really fun, been running around mostly with the scoped M21 or M16. :D

Rambo style baby! :P (Some times I like to run around like a crazed nut alone.)

[KryoNexus]

yeh, choppers are a bit tough to get used to, but once you have masterred them, you can dominate with them

[fstroupe]

yeh, choppers are a bit tough to get used to, but once you have masterred them, you can dominate with them

And then you can be a helicopter whore. :x

I guess the coolest role in the game for outright kicking ass is being a Cobra gunner.

[fstroupe]

Now that you are truly sick of the intro to "Fortunate Son", right click the desktop icon, "properties", in the target box, immediately after the last quotation marks, hit the space bar and type +restart 1

No more kid whispering "Challenge Everything" anymore either.

I downloaded the demo for Alcohol 120%, and put an image of the 1st disc in a virtual drive. Now the game loads in about 2.5 seconds. The demo lasts 30 days, so I guess I have a month to figure out how to make the thing work in Nero...all attempts have been fruitless up to this point.

Guess I should have started a new topic for this.

[KryoNexus]

try Daemon Tools

[Kattikawn]

I've been sucked into City of Heroes since it went live back in April so it's safe to say it's my favorite right now.

[silenze]

I have that, got bored after a week. :?

[undergroundtech]

FarCry has been my favorite game so far, but have returned to RTCW ......Hmm maybe I should have said re-Retun to Castle Wolfenstein.:roll:

The first time I played it was with a Vodoo5 5500 and slower computer, so I figured I'd turn my 9800Pro loose on it this time.

Looks like Halo 2 will be coming out aroud the same time as HL2 and Doom3,
looks like I'll have to quit my job this fall to get some good game time.

[silenze]

yeah far cry rocks, I can't wait for all those games :D

[Axeman098]

Farcry is the shit.....but I've been REALLY big into Soldier of Fortune 2 Multiplayer for several years now. I am RUTHLESS with the Sniper Rifle, and play on the Tactical Reefer Unit Clan server.

I am JONESING for Half Life 2!!! PLEASE GOD MAKE THAT GAME COME OUT!!! PLEEEEEEEASE!!! lol :lol:

[silenze]

I'm partly convinced HL2 and Doom3 were a big tease. :?

[silenze]

yeh, choppers are a bit tough to get used to, but once you have masterred them, you can dominate with them

And then you can be a helicopter whore. :x

I guess the coolest role in the game for outright kicking ass is being a Cobra gunner.

Figured out the choppers, had to reassign some buttons for Airial movement, still sort of a pain in the arse, though.

[Beemer]

I have been playing FarCry like crazy, still play bf1942 w/ desert combat mod. I have a pre-order for doom, and I get HL2 free b/c of a recent video card purchase. I am really looking fwd to those games.

[fastedie]

I haven't tried anything but call of duty started on easy and changed to hard and it is a little tougher.

[Beemer]

The difference between easy and hard - You die faster.

[mtfresh]

I really like Painkiller and Farcry but I still play the greatest game of all time
most of the day Counterstrike!!! 8)

[Trunks]

Counterstrike is fun

[racerboyf1]

Ahh yes.. racing games - I like Hot Pursuit 2, heheh. If you like racing games try Toca Racedriver 2. I'm hooked.

[zip]

does somebody know something about halo II or Ghost recon II?They've been released but I did not have the chance to play them yet.They're great!!!!!!!
And about racing I think NFS Most Wanted is quite good or?
But out of all I must agree that Counter Strike is a lot of fun indeed.

[zachig]

One of the BEST game I've ever played was "Silent Hill 4: The Room". Can't wait for SH5 to be released (it's still in the works right now. Should be out for the new PS3 console). :???:

[zip]

playa I see that you like Far Cry a lot....
did u know they were made in Romania , just like ghost recon I,II and the whole series of Splinter Cell by Ubisoft Romania?

[Kalo]

At the moment i'm heavily into C&C: Renegade along with my girlfriend, but I have very fond memories of playing Quake III Arena CTF, Team Fortress Classic, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and Soldier of Fortune 2. I play CS:S every now and again, but my system cannot handle games like BF2. :( Gotta get some upgrades. :P

[El_Seano]

At the moment i'm heavily into C&C: Renegade along with my girlfriend


The only game I can get my girlfriend to play now is Mario Party. Other than that I get a dirty look. We used to play alot of Worms though, a few years back

[captses]

Mine would have to be Microsoft Flight Sim 2004 then counter strike. Can't wait for The new version of flight sim to hit the streets later this year.

[jester]

Well looks like Im the odd ball here.

My fav for FPS is Deus Ex. To me nothing else compare's cause of how well thought out the game was with the story line & not the typical run around & shoot everything in sight.

Other favs are the Thief series, Brothers In Arms, Command & Conquer, War Craft 2 & 3 & of course the Grand Turismo series.

Try Duck Hunt - that ought to get her blood going...lmao. :twisted:

[captses]

Hey jester you have refreshed my memory. I used to play Deus Ex and I still have the game kicking around. I liked the game although it was addictive. I may blow the dust off of it this summer and have some fun.

[Prototype]

I have to say my favorite game is Counter-Strike: Source. Me and my clanmates have a lot of fun playing in scrims and league matches in CAL.

[jester]

It is, kind of forces you to get into it with the decisions & objectives you need to complete.

[liqnit]

My best games
1) Oblivion
2) World of Warcraft
3) Gothic 2
4) Civilization 4

i am not into shooting and such fanatsy is better :)

[zip]

another update for my fav computer game....at this moment I'm very into Ghost recon- advanced warifghter.... and then on the second place is BF2....

[leeglf]

BF2 and GT Legends are the only games i play regularly!
