    Default Multiplayer FPS.

    Well, turns out that I still have BF1942 on my computer, but I can't go online for some reason. Playing single player with the FH mod is fun though.

    So...what multiplayer fps would you recommend?

    Call of Duty 2 is great, and if your tight for money I remember Medal of Honor Allied Assault was GREAT, back in the day. I hear it still hase a considerable online community and it is fantastic. Really depends though, what are some things you really want to see in a game?

    It is most definately worth it, there are still hundreds of people logging onto AA through Gamespy alone, and it's a ton of fun. I happen to be a regular on the Medal of Honour: AA servers, and there's a reason for that.

    It is worth every cent.

    Is it true that Call of Duty 2 only allows 8 players online?

    Rainbow six games The level design of these baby's is just perfect for team vs team, and the fact that one bullet kills and there is no respawn really makes these games the most intense and nervewracking multiplayer experience available. Do bear in mind, most of the players have been playing it for a long time, it takes at least 2 years to become somewhat proficient. It's a hard game to master.

    I guess OFP would beat that..
    "Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

    Also bloody great, but it didn't really start out well. When it was released the multiplayer was somewhat laggy, and the engine too much of a system hog. Most issues were fixed with resistance, but most people had moved on by then.

    The PC version of CoD 2 allows 64 max.

    Having said that, I don't enjoy CoD2 multiplay - it's too fast and "arcade-y". But that's just me.

    Gah. I'm getting rusty, this is the second time I'm late when a thread needs a notification of OFP.

    Evil_Maniac_From_Mars, you still play MoHAA? Maybe I'll reinstall it and paly with you, right now its just sitting on my shelf collecting dust. Hardly a worthy fate for such a noble game. V2 Rocket Facility with rifle only... good memories.

    There's still an AA community?! That's probably the game I've given the most hours to online-even more than CS, and I play CS a lot. It was fantastic fun, but I moved onto other things for a bit, and figured that the fanbase had dissipated. I'm really psyched the opposite is true, though-in fact, it makes me want to go home and collect my MoH disks so I can give it a whirl.

    Edit: V2 rocket facility was lame! Crossroads and Stalingrad were where it was at.

    There's a great AA community, it's insane. If anyone still wants to play a round or so with me, the username's the same. I'll list my favourite servers when I have more time.

    Oh my god. Stalingrad was shotgun and machinegun heaven. If not V2 (which is the best map :p) then please tell me you like Omaha beach. Its classic!
