I need a game reccomendation

[Prussian to the Iron]

So over the summer (starting tomorrow actually) I will be in Florida, partially with and partially without the majority of my family.

I will be bringing my computer but not my Playstation or Xbox, but I would still like to have something to play just in case I get completely bored.

What I'm looking for is basically something like Bad Company 2, that sort of gameplay style I mean, and definitely revolves around multiplayer. I'd really love to have good graphics, but I can settle considering my computer isn't able to handle what it used to.

I would get Red Orchestra, but I have no idea where to find it :/.

suggestions?

Steam.

Steam.

Pretty much, just install steam and do a search through the platform. It'll pop up, if you have some money you'll be able to buy it on the service.

has anyone here played it and would reccomend it? i know its supposed to be good but not sure if its for super hardcore guys or on a bit lower level than that

[Warluster]

Just realize that Red Orchestra is... different, from the usual FPS. It requires a completely different set of tactics and you have to expect to be either prone for most of a match or behind a wall.

I'd recommend Battlefield 2 - it's six years old now so it should run fine on any computers these days and is simply brilliance, even better with a few mods like Forgotten Hope 2 or Project Reality to spice up the gameplay. The Complete Package should be around $20 on Steam now. (Though don't pay more for the Complete Package, as all those expansions have been released for free on the internet!)

Edit: In response to above post... it's not for 'super hardcore' but it takes some getting used to when travelling over from Bad Company. Once you learn how to not die in the first minute of the game the intensity is something unrivalled in most other games.

I tried playing BF2...it didnt work on my computer like AT ALL. it coulda easily been that my download was cutting in and out and resulted in crap quality, but is there a demo i can try to see if it'll run pretty well?

If you like realism it's awesome

It's fun, and not "super hardcore". It is realistic, and that takes some adapting, but it's not obstinately difficult to play.

Killing Floor.

[Drunk Clown]

Killing Floor.

Left4Dead 2

[Prussian to the Iron]

Left4Dead 2

first one was better

[Drunk Clown]

first one was better

I do not agree.

But why don't you continue your let's play? I thought it was great.

[Prussian to the Iron]

There were almost no views after a pretty large amount of time, and it didnt seem like there was any interest in a LP of such a mainstream game :/

[Subotan]

A short list of great games for under $10 each

Europa Universalis III + the four expansions for $7 special offer
Beyond Good and Evil
Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II
Heroes of Might and Magic III

[Hooahguy]

Careful with EU- try the demo first before committing. Its not for everyone.

[Subotan]

I'd say that's pretty fair. However, if you play it and you find yourself thinking you might like it if you can get to grips with it, now is the best time to get it, given the offer I linked.

If you like Total War games and are savvy enough to sign up for an internet forum EU3 is for you. You just may not realize it yet.

[Crazed Rabbit]

I will second ATPG's recommendation. No zoomed in battles, but the depth of the campaign is fantastic.

[Subotan]

You confused me for a minute there with that acronym, CR.

[Sigurd]

World of Tanks... can't let it go. And it is free.

[Skullheadhq]

Eu3 is a great game.

Dice rolling combat takes some serious getting used to, and it still makes me rage sometimes to watch my 5 star general get trashed because I rolled triple 1's. God. But even so, you're absolutely right. EU3 is a fantastic game, so long as you can get over the learning curve. Which isn't that bad really, you just gonna approach the game a lot differently than a TW game.

[Prussian to the Iron]

Sorry, I'm not really into the EU games. Just not to my fancy :/.

I think I'll just download Red Orchestra after my Sweden campaign in E:TW is finished.

[Subotan]

But what about:

Beyond Good and Evil
Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II
Heroes of Might and Magic III

;_;

[Hooahguy]

If you are looking for an RTS, I suggest Dawn of War. Truly amazing, and the MP is also great, if there are still people playing, which I will assume there are. Its an old game, like 2004-ish, but the graphics hold up to something 2006-ish.

Beyond Good and Evil is fantastic, if it doesn't charm you like Pixar's greatest you have a frozen microwave-meal where your heart should be JADE IS SO CUTE

So is Trip from 'Enslaved'. Recommending it to fans of BG&E is a no-brainer

[Centurion1]

warband with either the prohesy of pendor mod or the brytenwalda mod both are superb immersions.

[Hooahguy]

I think Im going to try M&B:W. Sounds interesting.

You haven't played M&B yet? Have you been living under a rock the last few years, how could you miss the huge thread we have here describing it's infinite awesomosity????

Sound advice. Prophesy of Pendor is fantastic.
