Damnhippies50 Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 What are your Favorite FPS (reasons are optional)? mine are: Call of Duty Unreal Tournament series Battlefield 1942
Baley Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 My poll was better. EDIT: Deus Ex,System Shock 2 and AVP 2.
Llyranor Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 In terms of pure action, I'd go with HL2. That, and all its mods give it mega-longevity, whether it be pure visceral mayhem via HL2DM (gravgun + mp = win) or coordinated tactical teamwork via CSS (it *really* depends on the server, though once you find a good tactical server where teams cooperate and coordinate their plan via mics = win), and all the upcoming mods. I can't wait for the upcoming DOD:S, either. In terms of memorable campaign, though, Call of Duty. Some pretty defining gaming moments in that one. I won't forget the time where the assault on Red Square begins and a beautiful orchestral score picks up as legions of your comrades charge desperately at the enemy machinegun fire. It was just.... beautiful *sniff* (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
GhostofAnakin Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Counterstrike. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
alanschu Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I remember the first time I caught a filing cabinet fired at me with my grav gun, and fired it back and killed my attacker. Gold! And I got chills just REMEMBERING that scene in Call of Duty with Red Square. It was cool, because you had overrun the German positions, and you were only bumping into some token resistance before continuing your push. Then the guy gets up there with the flag......<shiver>
Laozi Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Deus EX HL2 I guess I actually really had fun playing Republic Commado People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.

BattleCookiee Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Favorite FPS: Deus Ex Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory All GTA's (if you count them as FPS) Painkiller
Damnhippies50 Posted July 18, 2005 Author Posted July 18, 2005 Favorite FPS: Deus Ex Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory All GTA's (if you count them as FPS) Painkiller <{POST_SNAPBACK}> GTA is not a FPS (FIRST-person shooter) because it is in the third person.
Laozi Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Oh ya, Ghost Recon People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
EnderAndrew Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Ghost Recon is very underrated. And no one loves Redneck Rampage?
alanschu Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Well, if we want to toss in some retro nostalgia, we might as well toss Doom and Duke3D into the mix as well :D
alanschu Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Ah yes! Although I never understood why the bosses in that game always had to be dual-chaingun wielding guys :D
EnderAndrew Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I was shocked then the second episode went from German soldiers to zombies.
alanschu Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Yeah....that too. I think it's the root of my disdain for games like Silent Storm and FarCry when they take a turn for the bizarre. Same goes with Thief
EnderAndrew Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 That's why Obsidian needs to do Redneck Rampage 2: A Hunka Hunka Burning Fun!
alanschu Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 The name would seem to indicate that Elvis needs to be involved in some way.
EnderAndrew Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 The King can dual-wield fried chicken. The world is not yet ready for Redneck Rampage 3: Mullets and Moonshine
EnderAndrew Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 The was originally going to be titled Return of the King, but some hack already used that name.
alanschu Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 One of the jokes that humans say in WoW if you type in "/silly" is great. It's a bit paraphrased, but it goes something like this: So I have this great idea for a movie. It would be about a couple of gnomes that come into possession of a Bracelet of Power. They travel across the country-side being chased by the Bracelet Boogiemen! The bracelet would also be the obsession of the deranged Murloc [an annoying creature in WoW] named Gottum. The gnomes would get together with some powerful people and form The Brotherhood of the Bracelet. It would then expand into a sequel with the second one being A couple of Towers, and would culminate in an epic climax in the final chapter called Hey! The King is Back
metadigital Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Well, if we want to toss in some retro nostalgia, we might as well toss Doom and Duke3D into the mix as well :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hated Doom. It was very boring, after the intial "wow! Look at the Hi-Res! [9x9 grid]". Quake2, OTOH, was much more fun. And Duke Nuk'em 3D was awesome. "Who wants some?" "Come get some!" !
