First Person Shooters

I agree. Tribes was incredible when it first came out, and Tribes 2 is freaking KING!!!

I used to play FPS games a LOT on my PC (Wolfenstein 3D, Doom II, Duke 3D) until the hardware demands for FPS games started to get insane. I started up again with Quake III Arena and Unreal Tournament when I got my new computer and a TNT2 card but now I'm back out again. I wanted to try Castle Wolfenstein, AvP2, and NOLF but my computer would probably be too slow. Goldeneye and PD were fun too.

I somehow couldn't get into Half-Life no matter how much people praised it. I played through the first level and found those small face hugging bugs ANNOYING. Perhaps it would've been more fun multi, but it was way too old graphically for me to stand...

The N64 got me into FPS, and once I was able to buy my own computer, I started going back and playing all the ones I missed. Quake and Thief have to be my two favorites, but Unreal Tournament has had me in its grips for the past week.

Does anyone know when that new re-tweaked version of Tribes 2 comes out? With it being budget-price and all (last I heard) I figure it's high time I at least tried it out.

fuck Silent Hill, System Shock 2 is the scariest game ever made...

... and Counter-Strike has taken more hours from my life than any other game's playing time, tripled (seriously, i have to have logged over 500 hours into it)

still working through Deus Ex, but it's damned cool, kinda like System Shock minus the horror, and plus some sweet blade-runner-esque themes, and the completely non-linear approach to missions is something more games need to adopt

... so, i'd say that First-Person-Shooters are quite possibly my favorite genre...

System Shock 2 was about as scary as Resident Evil the movie.

I just finished playing through the demo of No One Lives Forever 2... boy.. I am really looking forward to it! NOLF is certainly one of my favorite pc games and NOLF 2 looks even better! Digged the conversation in the first stage of the demo between the ninja girls and how one of their mothers was upset because they didnt dress like traditional ninjas..or something like that..lol

Unreal Tournament 2002 Demo was pretty cool and looked great too..and the demo only had half the texture resolution of the retail version! :eek: Should be good fun online.

XIII for the PC looks to be coming along nicely and I cant wait for Deus Ex 2, Elite Force 2, Unreal 2 and Doom 3.

I think Turok's way underrated, it's king in terms of pure slaughtering shit with a nuclear arsenal popcorn fun
