So I am looking for a good game...

[MilitantB0B]

I am feeling about 50 bucks burning a whole in my pocket and I am itching to get myself a new fix for my gamming addiction.
I was thinking about getting BF1944 (I think that is the right date). I have heard lotsa stuff about it, but I have never played it. Is it worth it?

If not, what would be a good game for my gaming buck?

[Everay]

get call of duty, IMO its better, but if you want, buy BF1942, ive played both, BTW

[WritheNC]

BF1942 is a lot of fun.

[Nimbus]

is there any certain KIND of game you want?

[MilitantB0B]

is there any certain KIND of game you want? Actually, no, not really. :D Just looking for some nice suggestions. :)

[Everay]

ummm, fallout :)

[MilitantB0B]

ummm, fallout :)
Have it, love it, wish they made a third one. :D

[Nimbus]

Age of Mythology is a decent RTS. Uhmmm Leisure Suit Larry collection is always fun if you can find it. If you don't have an X-box, Halo is worth a shot. Stronghold Warchest is entertaining

[MilitantB0B]

Mmmmm, I guess a game that has a good online component would be nice...
:D

I own BF1942, it rules, and there are TONS of great mods to download. I've played the Call of Duty demo, It rocks equally as much. As for Halo, I've played the X-Box version, that was pretty nice. I'd also suggest Splinter Cell. It is a seriously sweet game,with an expansion on the way.

Is Call of Duty out? played the demo for liek a week nonstop. Awesome game.

[Everay]

soon ten, soon, like a week or two, but not soon enough. okay, if a RTS, im gonna say screw mythology, get Rise of Nations, it looks to be awesome, if only i had some money to spare

I have a game that might cost you 50$ or more depending on the outcome of the game! Its called the r3d game!

You basicly wear pants and set them on fire! Should cost you a good 50$ in hospital fee's.

any rules?

[Flammey]

OH GOD> THE HORROR!!!!!! People think BF1942 is good. *Turns around and pukes on the ground* WORST game for bugs ever. If you want a game like Planetside, but with maximum 30 maybe up to 60 people, then BF1942 is the game, but I warn you, it sucks goats balls.

BUT that's my opinion

[Spider]

any rules?


Yea... don't put them out :p

[Everay]

i agree with flammey, i really dont like BF1942, but its up to you, i bought it because i expected a MOHAA but better. what i got was a peice of crap

[MilitantB0B]

Yea... don't put them out :p
:lol: :rofl: :lol: :rofl: :lol:

Oh, and on a side note, I am going out to get BF1942 today.

[NightWalker XI]

BF1942 has two great mods, Desert Combat and Forgotten Hope, get that IMHO, the game itself is great, the mdos make it better and more versatile, and you can mod the same directory with various mods

I never eally enjoyed HL that much, but I play the mods constantly. :p

[simba]

well u have to try this free game wolfenstein:Enemy Territory if u havent allready. http://www.splashdamage.com/download.php
free but as good as a 30 bux game according too maybe 55 percent that has played it.

And offcourse if u like teamwork and wwII action buy RtCW, I think it costs like 15 bux but isnt that old.

but the best game I know must be Deus Ex, isnt new or expensive but the best game ever, 35 goty awards if it means anything.

well thats my 4 cents :D

[AztecWarrior]

BF 1942 is ONLY good with Forgotten Hope or Desert Combat, the realism is ass (the mods change this, FH is WW2 realistic, Desert Combat is war with Iraq realistic.)

Deus Ex is the best from the bargain bin. In fact, best out of many games. TIP: Keep playing. You may be saying "this game sucks!" after maybe the second level, then the plot kicks you in the ass.

[Derfud]

Yeah, FH, and DC do really make BF1942 better, but you cant forget about Eve of Destruction Vietnam mod, it has alot of great things.

[Veteran]

Battlefield 1942 isn't terribly buggy, though it has a weak AI. I play it on multiple platforms (high end PCs) and patch it, and it's fine. It has good mods. If your computer is on the strong side, you'll be fine. It has some built-in anti-aimbot and anti-wallhack design elements, and tight vehicular combat. The AI sucks, but you can still get an enjoyable, challenging game out of single or multi player mode.

Chrome is a great way to spend $40 (when it is released on Oct. 28). I can't say how I know, but the single-player story is amazingly fun, and I expect the multiplayer to draw the most hardcore shooter fans (and probably a few cheaters, unfortunately). To give you an idea of how much power it puts in your hands, you can set one button to activate multiple cybernetic implants at once. If you think Neo can tear it up, wait til you're firing 14mm explosive sniper shells in bullet-time at a vehicle that looks like a cross between a battlemech and an ATST. Yes, you can also pilot that vehicle if you want to. 100% recommended game.

Savage is a unique cross between RTS and FPS. One guy plays the commander and looks at an overhead view like StarCraft. The other guys look at a FPS interface. The commander builds buildings and researches new weapons while the troops mine resources, help build structures, attack wildlife and enemy players and generally make the commander's strategy happen. It has good graphics, lots of weapons and strategical deployables and siege engines. It has a steep learning curve, but if you're up to a challenge, you will be rewarded. An SDK is planned which will allow some pretty intense mods. I'm fully expecting a StarCraft mod for it, which will allow you to play that Firebat or Ghost you always wanted to play. 100% recommended.

Halo for PC. Very well tested game, great fun single-player mission. Only problem might be lag in big online games. Great graphics, not as many weapons as Chrome but still fun. Very stylish. Chrome is better, but Halo is a classic.

Lineage 2. Probably won't hit shelves 'til Spring 2004, but well worth looking into. Sign up for the beta now and thank me later. Almost certain to redefine MMORPG games.

Final Fantasy XI. Amazing graphics, don't know much about the gameplay. There's a benchmark on Fileplanet that tests your PC specifically for compatibility with FFXI. It's fun to watch. Could be great. Lineage looks better, frankly, but time will tell.

Etherlords 2. It's a turn-based strategy game based on Magic: The Gathering. Nice graphics, lots of cards to make your deck from, lots of strategy. Good internet play support. Good potential for an expansion.

Those are some suggestions. PlanetSide is great, but like beautiful blondes, sometimes one game just isn't enough (yah, I wish). Hope you like them.

[Derfud]

Halo is not bad, but the gameplay can get VERY repetitive, especially the indoor environments. If you enter a complex, and you are in a room with a generic design, expect to be seeing alot more of those rooms, and I mean ALOT more of those rooms. I think Halo would have been better if you were accompanied by marines throughout the entire game. Then it wouldn't make you feel like you are so alone. That is one of the aspects of Call of Duty, I find to be so attractive to most people. There is only breif moments in COD when you are not with an entire squad, which you are soon re-united with. Halo can be fun, but you may get tired of it after a while.

[ZionsFire]

Derfud no truer words have ever been spoken.

[NightWalker XI]

BF1942 buggy?
I never noticed any bugs when I play...lol

Anyways, yeah FH and DC are great, but I am not a big fan of EoD, I personnaly think its bad, chopper handling it isn't too bad, but overall its a pointless mod since Battlefield: Vietnam is out soon.
