Guest StrtRcr09 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Hey I am getting a very nice computer built for me here very shortly and I would like to know everyone's opinions on some computer games to play. I want to know the funnest games to play, and the ones that are good for playing online. Also, on these games, is it better to play with a controller or the keyboard/mouse? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgbdbn Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Battlefield Vietnam also. You will be addicted. I use both the keyboard/mouse and a controller. I use the Keyboard/mouse to do all ground activities and the joystick to fly planes and helocopters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StrtRcr09 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Hmm so I'm guessing these are war games? And what about Halo and Halo 2? I don't really know if there's a Halo and Halo 2 for PC. And how about Doom 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Doom 3 was really good, I liked it. Halo is great for multiplater (halo 2 is X-box only) Half-life 2 is awesome, Chronicles of Riddick: escape from Butcher Bay is an AWESOME game (hint, it's only $20), Farcry was also really good (refreshing after playing Doom3), and so far Starwars: Republic Commando is really cool. Being able to command a squad of commandos is pretty neat. All the above mentioned games are first person shooter. If you like real-time stratgey games, War Hammer: Dawn of War is excellent, as is War Craft III. BTW, you'll need a fairly beefy computer to play any of the FPS games listed above, don't cheap out on the vid card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StrtRcr09 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Well I currently play Diablo 2 occasionally(sp?). I've heard so many mixed opinions on Doom 3 that I don't know if I want to get it or not. I think I'm going to have to get Halo cuz I like Halo 2 online for xbox. Same with Escape from butcher bay. I'm not really into strategy games so I don't know if this Battlefield is strategy or what not. Oh and btw, I will be getting a beefy comp to play these on. I have $1500 to spend on this comp so it's gotta be elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli1647545497 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 If you build a top line system and then even so much as hook up a gamepad to it, I will drive over there and take it away and drive over it. Repeatedly. Warhammer: Dawn of War Battlefield Call of duty Halflife2, Counterstrike Source OFP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have $1500 to spend on this comp so it's gotta be elite. Who is building it for you? Me and another guy on here build them as a side business. We only charge $50 for assembly. You buy the parts (we'll even help you buy them), and we'll put it together and get it up and running. For $1,500, you could have the best of everything. Games I would recommend... Grand Prix Legends (old game but has been reskinned/retextured). Battlefield 1942 Battlefield 1942 (Desert Combat mod) Battlefield Vietnam Half-Life 2 Counter Strike: Source (My current addiction) Battlefield 2 (soon out) [ 04.

1Quik7 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 look at all you "first-person shoot'em up weenies". yes, some of the games mentioned above are fun to play, but they are all very similar. a couple games i would mention: Fallout (there are 3 of them, classic game) Final Fantasy XI (if you want an online game that can take up every minute of your day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Counterstrike 1.6; I don't think there is any other game out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rane Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 www.steampowered.com all there games for fps. lineage 2 for rpg, the only rpg your not going to accomplish everything in a month, and that doesn't blow once you hit max level. Warcraft 3 for strategy racing games sux on the pc. thats all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Rane apparently is on the drugs because lineage2 is a huge ass time sink with not nearly enough pay out. Hands down mmorpg that's kicking the markets ass right now is World of Warcraft (Wow). If you like rpg's, ffxi and WoW are your top picks. If you like FPS, go for Halo since you like halo for xbox. Check out www.steampowered.com for getting half-life 2 silver package or what not so you can get counter-strike source as well. Prettiest and most versitile fps engine out there right now. Doom3 has way too many requirements and very very little multiplayability to even be considered in the running. What other types of games are you into? There's a huge market out there man. T.c.

smokin5s Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 deffinately battlefield... that's about the only game I play on my computer... I can't wait for 2 to come out, it looks titties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StrtRcr09 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 Mowgli: So I should use the keyboard/mouse, and no controller? Maro: My dad's co-workers are helping me put it together. They'll get the hardware from a company that they order stuff from for work. And since I'm spending $1500 on it, I plan to get the best of the best in hardware. Veritas: I'm into shooting games and some fantasy games. Strategy games are not really what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar1647545494 Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 i use my keyboard mouse on all games.. you can get pretty damn good if you set up your controls right Call of Duty hands down.. than Battlefield 1942 those games are the tits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Counterstrike. Gotta get Half Life 2 to play it. The original Counterstrike consumed way too much of my life. Warcraft III is great for LAN games, but I'm not at all impressed with online play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 I like an older game, called Red Alert 2:Yuris Revenge its a strategy. We also started playing Age of Empires.. For anyone that does play these types of games, is Warcraft like thse games? I am looking for newer updated games of this nature, but cant find anything so far that impresses me.

Best I've seen in a RTS game to date. The dreadnaughts are some hardcore muthafuckas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 BF1942 Desert Combat Mod + 400 Watt sound system > *, and also = your neighbors thinking you are literally shooting an ak-47 in your house. halflife 2 is possibly the most advanced engine I have ever see in a game, and the physics are literally unparalleled. GTA: San Andreas is out on PC now and that should be good. The GTA mod community is amazing, and the ability to change models/skins in the game to be real cars is so cool. Instead of getting in a "cheetah" you can get in a Ford GT40 with a fully 3d desgined interior and 3d wheels, etc. Its a kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorback Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Doom 3, Far Cry, and Halo are my current favorites. If you need any hardware advice or anything, just PM me, I build these things on the side. Good luck man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli1647545497 Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Originally posted by ¬.¬: Mowgli: So I should use the keyboard/mouse, and no controller? Yup - for FPS and rpgs and such. I don't do driving games on the PC (bought the XBox and PS2 for those) so I can't recommend a wheel... If you're going to do any flight sims get a decent stick. Really ups the enjoyment of them. Heck even hybrid games like Joint Ops are more fun with a stick than the keyboard/mouse if you're doing pilot duty. If you want and have the desk space for a stick/throttle combo go with anything from Saitek in the "xNN" line. Since the x36 they've had the best controllers/ dollar out there. I have the x45 USB. There's the x52 out now I think. If you want just a single joystick go for the Cyborg 3D Gold USB, also from Saitek. I forgot - if you're into flying: Comanche vs Havoc X-Wing Alliance OFP Pacific Fighters European Air War Wings Over Vietnam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 ultimate doom, doom II, lemmings, minesweeper. what more could you want? thats about all I can play till I replace my pos video card (it used to play doom 3, but it has went south hard in the past week.)
