Re: Looking For a Good FPS game
Real classics if a little dated now (but great humour) where No One Lives for Ever and it's sequel imaginatively titled "No One Lives Forever 2" (escaping the Mimes haunts me still)...
70's Spy action in the Men from UNCLE style (with extra humour)...

Re: Looking For a Good FPS game
Counterstrike Source is still the best online FPS around IMHO. There is always a crazy number of people on and there is always a server you could get on even if you aren't in a clan. Just make sure you find a couple of good reliable servers with proper restrictions like no magnums...Seriously every time just starts going crazy with sniping on every server i play with magnums allowed.

Re: Looking For a Good FPS game
I hate to burst your bubble, but CSS has to rate as one of the worst online shooters, period.
On a scale from one to ten, its community would be in the negatives; its hitboxes are iffy and its balancing is non existant.
Either play a decent one (such as dods as eddy suggested) or get a sp game where these issues dont' matter, like Half Life 2, which has to be one of the best games ever made.

Re: Looking For a Good FPS game
Sapi, as for community I personally tend to play with friends as most people have Half Life 2 and it wouldn't be too hard to get a couple of friends get it.
As for balancing, there is a reason why most servers ban magnums and tactical shields due to their cheapness. Magnum is the big offender here. After all of the time that I have played using scout where head shots are needed for 1 shot kills, I can almost guarantee a one shot one kill every time I play, but again most servers don't allow it.
The noob cannon is pretty cheap indoors, but it gets owned by longer range weapons easily and I would stick to an AK anyday.

Re: Looking For a Good FPS game
And I still hold to the opinion that Half-Life 2 is a lukewarm game at best and a poor successor to the previous series.

After reading this I must assume that you have never played any of the BF's, or better yet, Deadly Dozen: Pacific Theatre.

Re: Looking For a Good FPS game
Aliens vs Predator 2. A little old now yes, and I don't know about the multiplayer part (never play that myself), but the singleplayer part is really fun (and if playing marine, scary at times).

Guys - ease off on the spam
@Vuk - to answer you with a logical arguement instead of my initial reaction:
I'd like to see you come up with a fps game that has the same level of community, challenge and fun that DoD:S does; but that's just my opinion.
Remember, we all look at things differently, and while eddy and I may think that DoD:S is a great game, or, as I'd like to phrase it, know it isthe decision ultimately rests with you.
It's a suggestion, nothing more, nothing less.

Re: Looking For a Good FPS game
I can recommend that game. Even the original AvP is still fun. It is very much fun in MP as well, especially playing a group of marines getting chased by an alien. Then you run out of flares and you're screwed.

You're horribly wrong... How's about having Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2 in Deluxe packages at home?

Take it easy Sapi, didn't mean to offend, (as stated above) just my opinion.
LOL, I have the 1942 Complete Collection at home also, as well as Battlefield 2, Special Forces, and the Booster Pack. In mho, Battlefield 2 is one of the best games ever. :D
You still play 1942? Wanna have a little multiplayer match? (I can't use BF2 MP, as I have a 56k :D)
Anyone interested in a 1942 Orgah MP match, just PM me.
Cheers,

@vuk - that comment wasn't directed at you; sorry if you took it that way
I used to play '42, but not online, and got into bf2, until I got annoyed with the constant exploiting and, for lack of a better term, stat whoring, that seems to infest the servers.
I still play occasionaly with my friends, but my net doesn't like bf2 for some reason (90% of the time i'll lag out for no reason) so that means I have little chance to play :(

Re: Looking For a Good FPS game
I thoroughly enjoyed Half Life 2 as a game and it also seems to be an excellent platform for many promising mods, many of which are aimed at multiplayer; such mods probably have decent dedicated communities.

Re: Looking For a Good FPS game
I actually enjoyed Doom 3 quite a bit more than Half-life 2, even though it's a flashlight-fest. I remember hitting the Hell level late on a Fri. night, was a bit intoxicated and my friends were on Teamspeak.. apparently I was quoting Event Horizon quite a bit.

AvP2 is a great game IMO, if you never played it. Sure the graphics are going to show their age, but playing as the human made me jump all the time. It's also interesting to play as the different species, each has their strengths and weaknesses.
Humans: Insane damage output from weaponry, gotta watch ammo, health is limited to medpacks.
Predators: IDDQD + IDKFA. OK so I guess they don't have a weakness really.
Alien: Ahhh... a stealth players challenge, esp. on hard. Few bullets and you are toast, but you can eat stuff to regain health. Wallwalking and the pounce are great for moving around.

lol, I only play BF2 singleplayer and lan. I only have a 56k :(
That doesn't stop me, however, from playing Battlefield 1942, which runs very nicely, even on a 56k. :D
Still, if anyone is interested, just email me. ;)
