Quake and Half-Life.
Quake for the sheer terror it instilled in me. And the community it created
Half-Life for making me remember what it felt like to play Quake.

About counterstrike, i have 2 admit the graphics improved a lot in the last few betas.
with options set fairly high
But each time i load a new level it does lag pretty much till i run everywhere then its ok

Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
I 've a celeron 366 with 64mb ram, when i play ctf with 10 bots, it freezes a lot, i 've sound lag 2(i am trying 2 overclock my cpu 2 550).
Well it's sure that if you play with alot of bots itll go slower (a little to alot)Quote:

Usually i can play with 10 bots though, but it depends also on the map

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

I agree with OPRDZL. Any DOOM game or add-on is still the best FPS to me. Mabey it's that first love thing. Seeing that first screen on my 486dx2/66 come on (so much less claustrophobic than Wolfenstein 3d),the great sound of the shotgun coming from the PC speaker. That was the best. Now Doom III
coming. Anyone heard any news about it?

Single player for me is Half-Life (and I must be the only one who likes the Xen levels, but then again I'm in the minority by really liking Blood 2 also) and the They Hunger mod is also top notch.
Multiplayer=UT hands down (I just wish I had broadband so I could at least see who kills me), but I have problems with anyone who loves UT but says Q3 sucks. Q3 doesn't have the same teamplay goodness out of the box as UT, but they have too much in common to love one but hate the other.
About Q3, the only reason i do not like it as much as UT, and actually partially go up to saying that it's a bad game is because it runs so slower than UT does, and also because when i tried it online i was on a 33.6 dialup.. so my opinion could change, but something interesting that's coming soon is Quake III Team Arena.. it's aim is bassically to bring what UT brought with it's first release. Q3TA actually falls short (in CGW they did a comparison that shows why, and the catch is that it's going to cost... it's not a free addon. Nonetheless, those who really enjoy Q3 but are envious of UT would probably find it worthwhile.Quote:

Definitely Half Life with the emphasis on CounterStrike. The action is just so much more realistic than Quake or UT. When I equip with a big gun, my character slows down and I can't maneuver quickly. Switch to a SMG instead and I'm dancing all over the place.
Those others just seem so phony with everyone running pell mell all over the place jumping and switching bwtween their 10 guns. Bleah. Maybe its because I don't have the reaction speed of a 16-year old any more . . . .
TFC also gets my vote, but CS is a little nicer because you tend to be a little more careful with your life.

Had no idea so many people still like Half Life. What engine does it use? Getting a bit old isn't it?
I like Quake 3 myself, even though I think UT looks much better. High hopes for the Q3 expansion, I can't play a game if it's not multiplayer. It's so friggin boring. When UT2 comes out it will kick *** I'm sure (if you have the machine to run it).
Just because a game is "old it doesn't make it any worse. I really enjoy Half-Life.. it is just a well done game and fun to play.Quote:

i went from Res. Evil thru Unreal but became totally addicted to on-line UT CTF Instagib and haven't played anything else much since Nov. 99. there are some excellent servers w/nice people playing. the prob i had w/half life was the joystick config. UT provides better manueverability with the joystick + mouse which i prefer (tho most peeps use the keyboard). my system is modest: AMD 400, 64M RAM, TNT2. i run UT at 600x800 at medium settings and with a cable modem, it rocks on-line.
Half Life, Quake 2, and Solider of Fortune. Ultimate FPS examples!
