----------------------------------- Martin Sat Aug 14, 2004 2:05 am Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Alright people, cast your votes. If I say a game, any mods for that game fall under that game. So if you like Counter-Strike, vote Half-Life. Also, if you like Quake 2, vote Quake. I know I left a lot out, so if you think of something else, post it. ----------------------------------- Dan Sat Aug 14, 2004 10:54 am ----------------------------------- Tribes, one not two tho. Tribes 2 killed alot of what was good with tribes one. Athougth Tribes is only good with some of the server mods like shfiter witch was gr8. ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat Aug 14, 2004 11:22 am ----------------------------------- I liked BF 1942 with DC MOD ?/ if anyones interested.. i foupnd a torrent that is Doom 1 and 2 but modernized.. with real 3d graphics.... pm me if u want it., its like 500MB when downloaded... ----------------------------------- MyPistolsIn3D Wed Oct 27, 2004 8:56 pm ----------------------------------- Cmon, timesplitters 2 guys. That game is awsome. Better than all those others. ----------------------------------- Flea Thu Oct 28, 2004 7:45 am ----------------------------------- Rise of the Triad was the best Doom wannabe EVER. '95! U should read up on it if u never heard of it, maybe. It was a great game. But UT is still #1 overall for me. Q3 couldnt touch it, Halo was close but not quite there. Ut's not relaxing at all, which is why its so fun. Edit: HOLY SHIT!!! SOMEONE MENTINED ROTT!!! GOOD JOB BUNNY! Man, Im surprised. I thought nobody else played that game. :D ----------------------------------- TheZsterBunny Sat Oct 30, 2004 9:31 am ----------------------------------- About 7 years ago, I bought it online (from 3D Realms) for $60. 6 weeks later, the game was released for free in the x-mas edition of PC Gamer. Thats how I remembered it. And for those who don't know... They also had some nice easter-eggs. i.e. diffrerent music on holidays, different pictures, and different pictures. Also, the whole game wasn't meant to be taken seriously. One of the characters you could be had the name 'Ian Paul Freeley'. Boy, was that joke old. Another hidden name? The 3rd boss. A metal garbage can with a dozen rocket launchers. He was the 'Nasty Metallic Enforcer' (The NME - get it?) I still remember that game well. I've been trying to find the music from that game (not in MIDI format). Having fun still listening to that. Wrote my first web page with some of that music in the background ^_^. -Z ----------------------------------- Flea Sun Oct 31, 2004 12:43 pm ----------------------------------- Another hidden name? The 3rd boss. A metal garbage can with a dozen rocket launchers. He was the 'Nasty Metallic Enforcer' (The NME - get it?) he was stephen hawkings in the wheelchair wasnt he? the last boss was a giant exploding head slash snake thing, who had larvae everywhere. yep, ROTT had funny stuff alright. Shrooms mode (a power-down where it looks like ur trippin out), dog mode (where you turn into an invincible dog. the dog digitized from one of the producers actual pets. you got smaller, too!), god mode (you became 10 times bigger than normal and anything you saw instantly died). cant forget the ultrabat (same story for the bat as the dog). I loved luring bad guys into those spinning blades. Yep, my issue was from a friends pc gamer mag. even doom producers played this game a lot for a while. Other games haev had funny stuff as well, though. I mean half-life had some good comic relief for the first bit of the game. New games just dont have as many easter eggs though, which is a totally good reason that ROTT is right up there in my mind, though the point of a general FPS is to kill stuff after all. And thats why UT gets my vote. ----------------------------------- TheZsterBunny Sun Oct 31, 2004 2:29 pm ----------------------------------- The second boss was the wheelchair dude. that was not stephen hawking, but one of the producers in an armchair. Nowadays, games take years to produce (HL2, Doom3, DNF), but looking back on this one... *a-hem* The game looks like it was produced with a 500$ budget in 3 weeks. and most of the budget was spent on beer. It was full of corny easter-eggs, poor graphics, and was loved by many. *sigh* those were the days. -Z http://www.classicgaming.com/rott/hell/ ----------------------------------- the_short1 Tue Nov 02, 2004 6:03 pm ----------------------------------- I still like doom2, and im liking the ideas of ROTT! anyone wana have a game ? is their network support (IP) or anything liek that:??? i read their was lan support.. but idk about the ip.. pm me if u got game... (looking for full version now.....) ----------------------------------- templest Wed Nov 10, 2004 11:05 am ----------------------------------- Doom3, CounterStrike: Source, Half-Life: 2, Day of Defeat (And Source, when it's released), and Q3A. :) ----------------------------------- the_short1 Wed Nov 10, 2004 9:18 pm ----------------------------------- ok hey all u guys.... i played ROTT A little.. and its a pretty good game.. comparable to doom2.., the gameplay is a bit better in doom2.. but this is just FUNNER.,. also this has crapier stairs and graphics.. but o well.. the FUN factor is GREAT./.. ik really liked the bouncies.. thats a big change from the almost always staying on ground doom2 .. http://66.90.75.92/suprnova//torrents/2833/Rise_of_the_Triad___Powerpack_Addon.torrent http://66.90.75.92/suprnova//torrents/2988/_DC__Rise_of_the_Triad__ROTTDC___Kikoken_SB_-rar.torrent i downloaded and used the frist one.. but its slow .. .the second one has much more seeders but just was released a little whiel ago.. ENJOY.. and let the ROTT feest begin.. ----------------------------------- betaflye Wed Apr 20, 2005 7:20 pm ----------------------------------- Half-Life. Day Of Defeat was awesome in the day. I'd get Half-Life 2 if I still played games, just for Day of Defeat Source. Hmm, maybe that isn't a bad idea. ----------------------------------- axej Mon May 30, 2005 5:09 pm ----------------------------------- pariah dissappointed me so much :( i was so lucky my dad forced me to not preorder it. halo 2 wasn't that great either. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Mon May 30, 2005 9:19 pm ----------------------------------- ...look at the date... IMHO (not really the 'h' part) Halo stinks, HL2 smells, and CS isn't worth playing (those are in polite terms :D). I would put Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, but I guess I'll go with FarCry. That game had an alright storyline, nice gameplay, and sweet graphics - should really get more recognition. ----------------------------------- BenLi Thu May 11, 2006 3:54 pm ----------------------------------- Nobody here likes Socom? I like ghost recon, if it were not for the studpid AI team, i've shot my own so many times b ecause they waltz into my line of fire ----------------------------------- axej Thu May 11, 2006 4:54 pm ----------------------------------- mmmm necro posting... a year after the fact ah well red steel looks good tho ----------------------------------- ZeroPaladn Fri May 12, 2006 12:23 pm ----------------------------------- Quake and Quake II were awsome! Halo is runner up, but I still can get over the "gibbs" in that game! ----------------------------------- codemage Mon May 15, 2006 8:00 am ----------------------------------- NOLF for humour. Timesplitters for best console multiplayer. FarCry and Half-Life for ambiance and AI. ----------------------------------- Martin Tue May 16, 2006 10:45 am ----------------------------------- NOLF for humour. Timesplitters for best console multiplayer. FarCry and Half-Life for ambiance and AI. I remember in FarCry when I was hiding in a vent and one of the A.I. guys came in after me. One of those 'That's not supposed to be possible' moments. Tres cool. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Wed May 17, 2006 4:58 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah, FarCry was great. Anyone see the previews to Crysis? Amazing, truly amazing. One of the only things I didn't like about FarCry is that there were so many monsters... Something which is happening in far, far too many games these days. ----------------------------------- codemage Thu May 18, 2006 10:42 am ----------------------------------- Crysis looks nice. I hope it won't require an upgrade to Vista. ----------------------------------- blaster009 Thu May 18, 2006 5:37 pm ----------------------------------- I voted Half-Life cause I'm a CS junkie...And FarCry is the best game you can buy for $9.99 new. Ever. ----------------------------------- s3arkay Wed Jun 21, 2006 3:22 pm ----------------------------------- Other - Call of Duty ----------------------------------- BenLi Wed Jun 28, 2006 10:40 am ----------------------------------- rainbow six 3 owns you all ----------------------------------- MysticVegeta Fri Jul 14, 2006 11:36 am ----------------------------------- wtf. QUAKE GUYS QUAKE! Omg, How can you guys forget those variety of nice-4$$ weapons? and that freaky voice in the background? hehehe. Quake is the way to go. :twisted: :twisted: Quake 4 = ultimate... :evil: HALO SUCKS ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Fri Jul 14, 2006 6:42 pm ----------------------------------- While Halo sucking is something I would definately agree with... Quake is just not fun. I don't get it, every game is exactly the same; the Quake series, the Doom series, ET: Quake Wars, and all that. You have one, you have 'em all. ----------------------------------- MysticVegeta Fri Jul 21, 2006 11:19 am ----------------------------------- well I used to play Quake 2, I found quake 4 to be different here in Canada. But maybe its cause I played Quake 2 or was it 1? 4 years ago in india. I am not really sure. I cant remmeber most of it, just remember though it used to be fun. Also, I enjoy playing Quake 4. but if only I had a better video card, it WOULD BE CLEAR-ER!!!!! -_- Man, I need a X1900 lol ----------------------------------- Aziz Sat Jul 22, 2006 12:33 pm ----------------------------------- Latest? Halo 2. The graphics were great, and the physics were sweet, storyline blew (Halo's 1 was awesome though), but it's the multiplayer that made this shine, not only the team aspects and solid stradegy but the matching system. No longer was a match just a match...it was for honour, rank. Not to mention have about 6-8 friends that played was good. Calling up my buddy and my cousin and taking on team snipers was fun as hell. Old school, definitely duke nukem 3D. Not only was it fun and expansive, but funny. I laughed my ass of at the "Balls of steel" pinball machine (but I was only like 10). And Quake (the first), as well, that game had me pissed off a lot, especially at the last level, I could never figure out how to kill that damn thing, until I finally just did it (by accident) ----------------------------------- MysticVegeta Sun Jul 23, 2006 1:51 pm ----------------------------------- Halo... SUCKS. The campaign is BORING. The multiplayer is LAGGY. But since I dont own an xbox cause I dont believe in buying consoles when you have a pc and dsl, I dont know how Halo 2 is. My friends say, it is excellent since in multiplayer, its limited to broadband users only? I am not really sure. But whenever microsoft decides to make halo 2... I will try it out on PC, and I already know, it cant be better than quake. ----------------------------------- Martin Sun Jul 23, 2006 9:41 pm ----------------------------------- Halo 2 is pretty good, it just ends too early. Kind of like "Huh, that's it?" The last boss is hella-difficult on Legendary. Right now I'm slowly working my way through Soldier of Fortune 2, which is quite the violent game. ----------------------------------- Panopticon Sun Aug 06, 2006 12:21 am ----------------------------------- Deus Ex ----------------------------------- Windsurfer Sun Aug 06, 2006 8:21 am ----------------------------------- Deus Ex is an RPG, it's nothing like a REAL FPS. ... Unless you're talking about Deus Ex 2, in which case, I laugh at you. ----------------------------------- War_Caymore Fri Sep 22, 2006 12:47 pm ----------------------------------- I fell in love with the first time i played the first quake game. then the second one was a little bit iffy, then the whole seies went downhill sence the 3rd one. still haven't tried the 4th one but not willing to spend a fortune to play it. go Quake! ----------------------------------- ZeroPaladn Fri Sep 22, 2006 12:56 pm ----------------------------------- bro, no necroposting. (dont revive old topics) EDIT: shane calls your stupid for necroposting ----------------------------------- cavetroll Wed Aug 15, 2007 1:05 pm Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- definitely perfect dark 64 or perfect dark zero, both were great games with excellent stories. Also had some humor in them. ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Wed Aug 15, 2007 4:25 pm RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Perfect dark zero was awful. How could anyone possibly like that? ----------------------------------- cavetroll Wed Aug 15, 2007 6:06 pm Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- I liked it, although now that I think about it the first one was definitely better but I enjoyed the second one. I don't actually have it but I have played multiplayer and a little bit of the story mode at a friends house. What I played I enjoyed. ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Wed Aug 15, 2007 6:11 pm RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- PDZ was an awful game. Resistance: Fall of man is better. Half-Life 2 is by far the greatest FPS ever created. ----------------------------------- Mazer Wed Aug 15, 2007 7:32 pm Re: RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- PDZ was an awful game. Resistance: Fall of man is better. Half-Life 2 is by far the greatest FPS ever created. You're always wrong and I'm always right. Give some reasons for your opinions, prick. ----------------------------------- Clayton Wed Aug 15, 2007 7:36 pm Re: RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- PDZ was an awful game. Resistance: Fall of man is better. Half-Life 2 is by far the greatest FPS ever created. By the way you explain your reasons for HL2 being the best game (wait, was there any?) there is, I can easily say that Counter Strike: Source is by far the best first person shooter ever made. Point is, just saying something doesn't make it fact, back up your opinions with some support. EDIT: GORRAMNIT, common sense beat me to it. ----------------------------------- rdrake Wed Aug 15, 2007 8:49 pm RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- I found Halo quite entertaining and that it had a lot of replay value. Multiplayer was always fun. Some levels were repetitive but overall it was a brilliant game. Halo 2 had a disappointing ending but was still quite fun like the original. Half-Life 2 was a fun game sometimes but boring others. I especially hated those damned antlions always popping out of nowhere when you step onto their beloved goddamn sand. They always got a revolver shot to the head for that one. I haven't really played the original Half-Life much despite owning it for a while now. Quake was fun when I was younger but it got boring fast. It's the same damn thing over and over again! Doom was pretty fun but I never really got into it. Doom 3 is pretty good at making you jump at some points. Unreal tournament is a wonderful game to play when you have a group of friends over. Other than that it's boring. ----------------------------------- Clayton Thu Aug 16, 2007 7:26 pm RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Damn... my post got mutilated... Anywho, I personally like Halo 2. It's got an awesome multiplayer setup that's great for anywhere from 2 - 16 people to play, a good balance of weapons, and some good maps. The fact that you can create your own game scenarios is a major benefit as well. I found that that option was much better handled the second time around than in Halo 1. The campaign was a bit disappointing to be honest, I just didn't think the story was quite up to the standards of Halo 1. Definitely the big thing that Halo 1 has going for it over Halo 2 is the fact that the Warthogs are damn near indestructible. ----------------------------------- JWHooper Sun Sep 23, 2007 10:22 pm Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Has anyone of you heard of a game called "Warrock"? I thought this game was a very good First Person Shooter game. This game is kinda popular in South Korea. ----------------------------------- JWHooper Sun Sep 23, 2007 10:23 pm Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Also, "Sudden Attack" is a good game. ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Mon Sep 24, 2007 4:36 pm RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Remember in the 90s when most fps's were reffered to as doom clones? Doom was so awesome. It was gory,violent plus it had a death match which was awesome. Why is halo 3 gaining so much hype? It's everywhere. Everyone is talking about it. I have a feeling M$ is paying big bucks for publicity. I personally prefer PC fps's more than console. ----------------------------------- Zampano Fri Sep 28, 2007 10:01 am Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- My personal favourite is Goldneye because it was my first but I guess the James Bond games never got enough good games to be consistently called a serious FPS series. ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Fri Sep 28, 2007 7:06 pm RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- I remember Goldneye. That was back when Rareware was cool. ----------------------------------- Strykr Fri Feb 15, 2008 11:26 am RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- CS:Source is my top FPS for now. Might start HL2 later. ----------------------------------- Sean Fri Feb 15, 2008 12:55 pm Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- I found Bioshock to be one of the better first-person shooter. ----------------------------------- lordroba Fri Feb 15, 2008 4:14 pm RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- i'll have to go with COD4 ----------------------------------- BigBear Fri Feb 15, 2008 4:23 pm Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Wow I thought more people would vote for Halo. Maybe because it is for xbox and slow getting to PC. Halo 3 online is amazing. I believe the shield system in HAlo really make the game your not low from just killing someone and someone kills you. ----------------------------------- Mackie Fri Feb 15, 2008 4:35 pm RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Counter Strike: Source, and if it counts; Garry's Mod. ----------------------------------- michaelp Fri Feb 15, 2008 6:06 pm RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Is Call of Duty considered an FPS? ----------------------------------- HellblazerX Fri Feb 15, 2008 6:38 pm Re: RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Is Call of Duty considered an FPS? How is it not an FPS? And right now, i'm playing alot of CS:Source, mainly cuz its one of the only game that works with my school's ISP. But its still a good game. ----------------------------------- Michael516 Wed Mar 12, 2008 9:05 pm Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Half life is the best! ----------------------------------- A.J Wed Mar 12, 2008 9:51 pm Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- HALO ALL THE WAY!!! ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Wed Mar 12, 2008 11:55 pm RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Meh I don't have an xbox, and console fps's in general suck. You need the keyboard and mouse. A new game I recently tried is portal. That game is soo freaking awesome. Does portal count as an fps? I still haven't played Crisis, that game looks amazing. As anyone here played it? ----------------------------------- Mackie Thu Mar 13, 2008 12:24 am RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- If your in the first person, and your shooting I think it counts. I'd defiantly count Portal. ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Thu Mar 13, 2008 12:29 am RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- But it has more emphasis on puzzle solving. ----------------------------------- Mackie Thu Mar 13, 2008 12:30 am RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Ya but it still meets the needed criteria, plus extra. So, it's a puzzle-fps, I guess. ----------------------------------- jernst Thu Mar 13, 2008 8:39 am Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- team fortress 2! ----------------------------------- OneOffDriveByPoster Thu Mar 13, 2008 9:09 am Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Duke Nukem 3D ----------------------------------- jernst Thu Mar 13, 2008 10:07 am Re: RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- I remember Goldneye.

Ah goldeneye, that was one of the first FPS's that got me hooked on gaming...haha good call ----------------------------------- syntax_error Thu Mar 13, 2008 11:46 am RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- portal = best game ever no if and or buts ----------------------------------- Mackie Thu Mar 13, 2008 12:00 pm RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- That, sounds very fanboyish of you. Portal is a great game, it's just not the best. Although that's just my opinion. ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Thu Mar 13, 2008 12:29 pm RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- I'd say Half-life is the best. CS:S is great too. A little fyi we have been talking about this for a really really really long time. ----------------------------------- nastynika Thu Mar 20, 2008 8:27 am Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Bioshock has to be one of the best new ones out there but i cant wait for gears of war 2 ----------------------------------- DaveAngus Tue Apr 08, 2008 12:27 pm Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Bioshock has to be one of the best new ones out there but i cant wait for gears of war 2 Im no fan of Gears.... Bioshock was good! Hear about Alone in the Dark? If not go on the xbox360 marketplace (or youtube) and look it up. It looks amazingggg!!!!! ----------------------------------- tenniscrazy Wed Apr 09, 2008 7:41 am RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Bioshock is the best for single player in my opinion ----------------------------------- btiffin Wed Apr 09, 2008 8:18 am Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- I was a fair fan of Ghost Recon. Someone here needs to make a Portal mod for the first Second Person shooter. Stand at a portal and shoot yourself in the face; over and over and over. Cheers ----------------------------------- user1238 Thu Apr 10, 2008 4:34 am RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- DN3D and mods, especially Life's a Beach. ----------------------------------- I Smell Death Thu Jun 19, 2008 6:38 pm Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- I have to say that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is my favorite fps, sure the engine might be a little dated but you easily get lost in the story. ----------------------------------- Reality Check Thu Jun 19, 2008 7:57 pm Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- I'm all about Counter Strike 1.6. I've played a lot of FPS games and some were fun and even memorable (like COD4) but none have that lasting appeal counter strike has for me. It's just so awesome. ----------------------------------- andrew. Sun Sep 07, 2008 9:50 am RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- I like Half-Life 2, TF2, Portal (if that counts), Halo PC, and CoD4. ----------------------------------- Zeroth Sun Sep 07, 2008 11:11 am Re: Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Goldeneye. It may be the granddaddy whom has inspired and guided the development of so many other FPS's, but its still the best. It can whup all these new-fangled FPSs, complain about kids on its lawn, and drive really really slowly... all at once! ----------------------------------- gitoxa Sun Sep 07, 2008 12:16 pm RE:Best First Person Shooter ----------------------------------- Deus-Ex
