Three games, Three decisions

[Doobz]

i hold Warcraft III ahead of it

[r3d]

Dident I say before, RECENT GAMES?!
Oh wait, Halo 2 in recent, and Half Life 2 is recent. Oh and Doom 3 and DE2 are recent.
I shuldve never asked for help, I have all the games you guys are saying to buy except for the ones that arount out yet.
and PS, PS is the only game that I can acaulty buy that I dont have

[Doobz]

recent does not mean "not released"
recent means within close history

[TekDragon]

I think he was being sarcastic

Oh, and WC3 is good, no doubt but the strategies are so limited. 90% of the top players just mass a single type of unit they r good with and couple it with a hero they are good with and zerg swarm.

Knight swarm with archmage
rifleman swarm with MK
huntress swarm with blade daemon
spider swarm with lich

And the worst thing is, combined arms dont do shit.

If you have your food spent on knights and the other half on riflemen, and your enemy rushes you with 100% knights.. your fuked. It makes no sence to use combined arms in that game.


If somoene tried using a single unit on me in CnC id laugh my ass off and hand his back to him. Rush me with 30 crusaders? Lol, ill destroy your whole army with 10 rocket infantry or 3 comanches. Wunna rush me with 20 chaingun tanks? 5 paladins will whipe the floor with you.

Thats what i love about Generals. Clear strengths and clear weaknesses. Brain and skill at command over "who can pump out 50 knights first".

Oh, and r3d? If you already have BF1942 and Generals... what the hell else do you need? PlanetSide aint gonna top that, not even close. Not for at least 12 months when they get all the bugs worked out and give it as much content as all the other games coming out as soon as they release (even with 12 months of new content i doubt itll be as much as Halo 2 or Half Life 2).

I wasent being sarcastic.
I have hundereds of games.
And by recent I mean out now.

I never said it would top it, I just want some new games to play. BF got old fast
Generals wore out in like, 3 weeks.
Im going to get HL-2 and halo 2 I need games that are out now. New games to play. Im not going to sit around for 12 months going, gee I cant wait for Halo 2 to come out.

You must be one of those guys i r4ped on my 117 win streak

Im 300 something wins to 27 losses (20 of them from the enemy disconect/you get loss bug) with no signs of getting tired of that masterpeice.

How did you get bored with it? Did you get stomped? Not meet any good people online?

Maybe your not playing the right faction. I started out with the chinese and got bored in a few weeks. Decided to try out USA before i left and havent looked back since.

[r3d]

Never played online, ever.
All C&C games sept for renegade suck bad. People find lameass stratigies and bring like 50 tanks to kill you in under 2 mins.

I only played lan with people I knew. It was fun

[mistled]

Sigh, first off, you're officially an idiot for not liking SoF2.

But, I still can help you. Here are your three games, buy in this order if not all at once for whatever reason.

PlanetSide (of course)
GTA: Vice City (most fun offline game currently out)
Freelancer (it's just a lot of fun)

- That is all. This thread is officially complete.

WRONG, SoF2 was just never, fun to me. I was missing that special something that made it a real FPS

Have vice city, tried the freelancer demo, it SUCKS REALLY BAD JESUS CHRIST ITS THE MOST STUPID GAME IVE EVER PLAYED

[TekDragon]

No, hes officially an idiot for buying Generals and then not playing the multiplayer because "in other CnC games people were cheap"

Dood, this isnt Red Alert. It isnt Red Alert 2. It isnt Tiberian Sun or Tiberian Dawn. This is GENERALS.

Its a new game, with new balances.

Trust me, go online and play a few 3v3s and 4v4s. This game was designed for huge battles. Dozens of migs streaking through the sky, ion cannons searing the battlefield, huge ground armies crashing against each other. Gives me the jibblies just thinkin about it.

Play 3v3, 4v4 till you get the trick of it. I guarantee youll have fun. Once you got some decent strategies, play some 1v1s.

Me, personall, i went straight into 1v1. I lost my first 2 games... then won my next 30 or so games in a row. This is a game where, if you have good tactics, you WILL win. I hated how in WC3 it was all about build orders and getting a rush in first.

Not so in Generals. You can use camo units to spot your enemy and if he tries to rush.. well, youll have enough time to make a counter unit or two (all you need) to defeat his rush and catch the edge.

Did you even read my post?

Notice how I said all?
Please stop jumping to assumptions on how Ive never played any 4v4s or 3v3s. I told you I lan with people all the time. Ive have PLENTY of 4v4s and 3v3s.
Just stfu for awhile please.

[Sp3ctre]

Well if you want games that are already out, here's 3
1. Deus Ex 1, if you don't have it
2. Final Fantasy 7, the best of the best

You obviously havent if you think this game allows for pussy stategies involving bringing '50' tanks in under 2 minutes. First of all, the earliest you can attack with is in 5-6 minutes (for it to even have a tank or two). The quickest rush is with china, where they make 2-3 gatling tanks and rush you.

If your playing US, no sweat, a single paladin or crusader tank will take them out. China? Pffft.. the gat tanks wont do shit to you anyway cause your gathering units arent air. GLA? stinger sites will r4pe them.

Got a US player rushing with a humvee filled with rocket soldiers? US: use 2 rocket soldiers to laser the humvee and 1-2 rangers to handle the soldiers that *might* escape alive. China: use a gat tank and strafe, cake. GLA: your stinger sites, tunnels, and infantry will do the trick.

Personally, i think youve never played the game before. Anyone that compared this game to the other CnCs by lumping together as "all" obviously has no clue. This game wasnt even made by the same developers (westood vs EA).

$20 says your some guy that read a magazine article written by some punk who got raped 5 times in a row online and decided to give the game a C cause hes a newb that wants to use his "l33t zerging rush" and win.

Just like the people who have never tried marijuana or bothered to learn anything about it claming that "Duh, it makes you stupid"

I used to love C&C games, untill EA got involved

The glory days of westwood.. Its where i started my online gaming career. And started my first fansite
