$55 for Best Buy

[OUTLAWS Spike]

OK heres the deal. I've got the above mentioned money and am in desperate need of a new game. I love the speed of Sam and from reading some of y'alls post about other games, none of the other FPS games have that speed. So I would like y'alls opinions on some other FPS games.
Games I've played: all the Quakes, SOF's, Max Payne, Delta Force, UT2k3 and SS1 and 2.
Keep in mind that I'm looking for a FPS game for the PC.


Thanks $pike B)

[Sirc]

I'm interested in hearing the suggestions too. :thumbs:

Is that a kill everything you see game, or is it a team/mission based game?

Unless you have a time period that you have to use it I would say
wait till Doom 3

[Sirc]

Doom 3 will cost &#036;450. &#036;50 for the game and &#036;400 for the FX card. :rofl:

[Crism]

:rofl: you are correct&#33;

No I think I have a year. Will you really need the FX card to play Doom 3?

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

By the time it is actually released you&#39;ll be ready to upgrade anyway. :thumbs:

[OUTLAWS Spike]

I&#39;ve never heard of Dues Ex. Can you give me a link or more info.?

[Sirc]

Dues Ex was too complicated for me. Its not really an FPS. Or at least not wht I consider an FPS.

Have you ever played AVP2 &#036;pike? That game rocks both single and multiplayer.

[Crism]

i tried a demo of Deu Sex and i didn&#39;t like it...

No. I saw that game at Best Buy also while I walked around in the PC gameing section for an hour and a half trying to decide which game to buy. I finally gave up and said I would get y&#39;alls opinions before I wasted the money.

i do could do it too.....LOL.... bandhead

[unforgiven]

I agree give dues ex a try i have been playing it for a year now and it rocks both in multi and single. Its older so it shouldn&#39;t cost you that much. Its is great if you like to sniper. Levels are medium size not as big as UT 2003. But i say try it out. :jammin: :wootrock:

[Sirc]

&#036;pike&#33; Don&#39;t buy Dues Ex&#33; I have 2 copies. I&#39;ll send you one if you PM me your address. :thumbs:

I got them with the GeForce4 cards I bought for Sifi and myself.

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

Aliens vs Preditor 2 would be a very good choice. Excellent single and multiplayer&#33;

don&#39;t buy mech warrior 4:mercinaires. I tried the demo last night, and it totally sucked&#33;&#33; I got the demo for splinter cell, but something was messed up with it, and it wouldn&#39;t install :bawling:

[Saretta]

mw4 mercs sucked? I have that game and haven&#39;t noticed anything bad till now :unsure:

[Grimmy]

well it was probably just me or something, but I didn&#39;t like it at all. Too much going on, and didn&#39;t have enough fingers to use the whole keyboard for stuff, so I pitched it.

Mech Warrior 4 Mercenaries has maybe old Graphics but if u are a fan of Battletech its a great game and its even if u arent a fan of BT a good game&#33; IMO

Ah ic. Well I use a joystick to play. That&#39;s much better than the keyboard :cool:

We too have Battlefield 1492. It is a good game&#33;&#33; There is a team effort and a mission to overthrow the entire map. My husband is TOTALLY addicted&#33; :thumbs:

How long does a typical game of 1942 take?

Depends. Sometimes 5 mins or so and others can take quite a while. I think it depends on how many on each team and maybe on the map. I&#39;m not sure cuz it&#39;s my husband that plays it. At first I thought the game was kind of dumb until I really played it. It really is a good game once you get into it. :thumbs: :thumbs: <--- my 2 thumbs up

[Mr Clean]

I saw someone playing the beach landing scene (is that how it always starts?) and he eventually jumped in a halftrack with some other people (he was playing online). It seemed to go pretty smooth, a lot of action, but that was online. Is online different than single player in length of play?

[Sepra]

No. there are many maps. Some arent on the beach at all, like my fav map is Berlin where there are buildings. As far as the comparison between the length of offline and online play, i&#39;ve never had a long offline play before. Online you can have either. Like I said before, I havent really played it enough either.

[Mr Clean]

Cool, thanks for the info Sep. I am a WWII history buff, so for no other reason than that 1942 is an interesting game to me&#33;

Really? that&#39;s cool. I think you would like playing then. It&#39;s obviously a slower pace thant SSam, but it has more of a tactical strategy. Once your into the game and spawn points are overthrown it can get more intense. You cant get any closer to the real elements of combat&#33;

[Darthvim]

battlefield 1942 is really fun, i played all the sp missions and the multiplayer with 64 players rocks &#33;&#33;&#33;

i can only recommend this game, this game rocks ...

Kinda leaning toward BF1942

Well, the way the Demo that was snagged/leaked played for people, that may be true, but look at it this way as well - the Doom 3 engine was made before there were 2GHz procs, and was first shown teamed with the GF3 card, showcasing both the game&#39;s and the card&#39;s abilities with lighting and other 3D programming hurdles. I don&#39;t think it&#39;s too optimistic to think that it may play ok on GF4 cards, certainly on a Radeon 9700, and a GF-FX will no doubt handle it best, until the ATI next-best-thing comes out. Carmack insists that that demo doesn&#39;t represent well, I&#39;ll give him the benefit of the doubt (doesn&#39;t make the wait any less not too&#33;) and hope that they have optimized it enough by release time that it will play OK on my 1.8 AMD, 512 M and GF4 4400.

Back to the topic, what kind of FPS game would you prefer? BF 1942 is more team-based, Unreal 2 is coming out Feb 4 at &#036;50 ( I have another thread whining about that). If you want a creepy game that is nice visually, Undying is fun. Wolfenstein is the best team-based game I&#39;ve ever played, period, and has SP play as well. Jedi Knight 2 has both MP and SP, and is darn cool, I thought, but I&#39;m a Star Wars fan.

[OUTLAWS Spike]

Thanks Death Dude. I was kind dissapointed in UT2k3, to slow. imo
I&#39;m gonna hold off for now on buying any new games and maybe do some upgrading on mine or my wifes computer.
