FarCry vs. BattleField: Vietnam vs UT2004

[MilitantB0B]

I am heading out today to buy a game, a FPS to be exact, and I was wondering which one of these you would reccomend and why?

Just to let you know, I am kinda looking for a Multiplayer type game, but if it has a good single player campaign it will do just as good...


Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Or UT2004

BF:V. UT2004 is just the same old seizure fighting, and Far Cry seems more based around single player based.

If multiplayer is what you want, BF:V is probably the best of the 3. UT2004 is a decent multiplayer game too. It just doesn't involve as much strategy or team work as BF:V does (potentially anyway). Farcry is definately the most advanced of the 3, as far as graphics, physics, and AI, but it's definately more focused on the single player game. Farcry was made for the sole purpose of showing off the CryTek engine, and nothing more.

If your looking for a single player, farcry is your best bet. Multiplayer, I'd go with UT2004 because of all the mods that are coming out for it. UT2004 is so easy to mod for it's not even funny. Even if you totally hate everything that UT2004 does, buy it anyway. There will be tons of mods that completely change the game. I myself already have UT2004 and the UT2004RPG (which is teh pwnage) and am waiting for frag.ops, which looks SOOOOOO nice.

A friend of mine went to a LAN. It was a Ut2k4 + BF:V LAN. They started with Ut2k4 and didnt even get to BF:V, they had too much fun playing Ut2k4.

BF:V pwns in multiplay, but is kinda tied with UT2k4. Far Cry wins in single player, followed by a tie between UT2k4 and BF:V. I dunno, I dont have far cry yet, so I'll find out this weekend. Far Cry is kind of a forgotten gem.

Bf:v

I don't see why so many people think that large numbers of mods make for a better multiplayer experience. Even in the TRIBES1 days I only ever played on classic, and didn't really like the mods.

Personally I prefer a consistent multiplayer experience. A handful of game types are fine, though.

BF:V all the way

[Navaron]

BF:V is great fun.

[Indecisive]

Ut2k4. Fun fun. Except for as-mothership. Those spacefighters suck.

Farcry's mulitplayer has the fun quallity of MMO Pong.

/me attacks sputty with a mysterious syringe, injecting all the liquid into him, then drags his limp body back into the shadows.

[EineBeBoP]

BF:V No Contest.

Depends what type of games you like. If you pride yourself on your twitching ability, get ut2k4. If you consider yourself a tactical player with a taste for long periods of camping, get BF:V.

[UncleDynamite]

Battlefield Vietnam. Unreal Tournament 2004 is fun, but the insanity-with-guns gameplay can get tiring. Haven't played FarCry multi, yet, but I've heard mixed reviews.

[321]

planetside.

[CorDharel]

I would say UT2k4, because of the excellent game, the 10'000 gametypes & mutators already ingame and the mods that will come. So you can have BF and UT2k4 in one game :groovy:

(ps: there are already lots of UT2k3 mods and they also work with ut2k4!)

The handling of the vehicles just rox! But if this wouldn't be a planetside fanpage I also would propose planetside :love:

[Neon Apocalypse]

im installing far cry as i write this, its supposed to have the best single player ever, maybe not as good as halflife, but im pretty sure itll surpass halo

i didnt buy BF:V because there were lots of lag and graphics problems, maybe ill pick it up later when theyre fixed. BF:V is better than UT2k4 in my opinion, im not a fan of UT2k4's fast paced ness.

[I Hate Pants]

BF: V hands down

UT2K4 is like for CS players with faster computers. Any game that encourages bunny hopping is shit to me.

[scarpas]

based around single player based.


as my great grandma would say :"que" (what)

[ViperGTS]

Bf:v...

[Neon Apocalypse]

I think that Far Cry has the best singleplayer I've ever played. Theres so many things you can do. You can not shoot a bullet and win. Plus the graphics are definitively the best ever made so far. I think only Doom 3 will compare to the engine.

/me attacks sputty with a mysterious syringe, injecting all the liquid into him, then drags his limp body back into the shadows.
/me wakes up and anally fux Derfud. AND SPUTTY DOESN'T GIVE HIM A REACH AROUND

[Onizuka-GTO]

Far Cry looks gorgous, IMO.
Not too keen on UT, thought I guess if you like Battlefield 1942 then you will like Vietnam version (thought I prefer the Desert Storm Mod, love the tanks & the rocket Artillary)

Or just skip them all and get "BREED" <- Looks abit like Planetside, just came out dunno how well it plays, but it does look beautiful, and preview says you can go from orbiting spaceship to planetside battles seemlessly with dropships and tanks....

[Neon Apocalypse]

yeah i read a bunch of reviews on breed and they said it sucked donkey nuts

it looks good but the sound and gameplay sucked

Far Cry's water will own anywater for next 2 years.

[ghost018]

Hang me for bumping an old thread, but if your PC can run Far Cry's MP it's pretty badass....especially Assault mode.

I just got Far Cry and it's definately the best single player game ever on a PC. It beats halo and half-life. I think the only thing that could possibly challenge it's single player game will be half-life 2.

BTW, the engine that runs far cry is awsome. I could see a lot of potential for great mods with it. It also runs on the GameCube and XBox. Too bad the multiplayer fan base isn't big enough to warrent the effort it takes to make a total conversion mod.

Oh yeah. I've seen the water in HL2. It definately beats Far Cry. Hell, the graphics from HL2 beat FarCry in almost every respect. But, Far Cry is actually available to play, where as HL2 may not make it to release until HL3 is almost done.

Battlefield is old and tired. UT2k4 is old and tired. Far Cry is something new and very engaging. The only down side is that it is primarily single player and thusly, you can devour it in days. Single player games have thier place even now with the advent of so many multiplayer games. I have not has as much fun playing a single player game since KOTOR and Half-life as I have had lately with Far Cry

[EarlyDawn]

Breed's Demo sucked hardcore.

And I repeat, Battlefield: Vietnam, if you can get a clan and TS. Really good time.
