I must say that it is pretty interesting to see how different types of FPS attracts diffferent people. Since I grew up with competitive quake, these types of games appeal to me more because of skill and management of items. whereas, one shot one kill type games like CS, involved a little more luck than usual, while still requiring some skill, but also introducing more team based tactics. Halo falls more in the competitive quake niche since one player can actually dominate.


No console FPS falls under the competitive quake niche imo. Halo has way too much handicap happening to compensate for aiming with a controller to really gain that sort of respect from me (even if tweaking and abusing the handicap is part of the skill needed). Keep in mind I am also a tad harsher about my opinions on this shit. ;P

As for Halo 3 lacking, I think that is obvious. It didn't have to do anything, however, but be Halo. The end. Millions sold. Co-op is still a fucking blast (sorry Wiz...I'll find time to hop on some day...lol) and part of the unintentional humor during that mode is from laughing at some of the half-assed elements. The fact that every encounter is trying to be sold to me as some "epic scale broughaha" and that Master Chief is essentially the ultimate weapon of mass destruction that has to do everything for the human race, from opening doors for marines to wiping out an alien race, has me rofl'ing the entire time.

Oh yeah. COD4. I spent my cash on Virtua Fighter 5. Sorry. :smileysad:

Re: CoD 4

I agree, but as far as console and competitive fps goes, halo will probably take a large chunk of the cake at all cash gaming events.

Re: CoD 4

played a bit last night. performance sucks balls on my machine but I think that has more to do with Dell being lazy shitbags and having only 2 year old drivers available for my E1705 (Geforce Go 7900 GS).

Will be fucking with 3rd party nvidia laptop drivers tonight. Ah the joys of PC gaming.

Orange box is the last pc game for me for awhile. Due to driver issues I still haven't been able to play Portal.

Re: CoD 4

i take it back, yes its pretty, but not in the same league as crysis.  gameplay wise its pretty straightforward.  go down corridor mowing down enemies, when you get to the next corridor, mow down some more enemies.  still im liking the story and twists so far and gg best sniper sequence EVER.  heard its really short but definately worth playing again on a harder difficulty.

Re: CoD 4

I'm playing on Veteran difficulty and it's ridiculous.  I keep getting grenade spammed and the enemies don't stop spawning unless you push forward. :smileysad:

I've got a GO6800 for my Dell i9300. Will new drivers make a big difference?

Edit:
Hmm... tried the drivers, don't notice huge difference, though it's hard to benchmark in WoW.   It didn't blow up or overheat (especially after cleaning the heat sinks) so I might try OCing it next.

Re: CoD 4

Does anyone know if you can change the difficulty during a campaign.  Veteran is starting to frustrate me and I don't want to start all the way back at the beginning.

Re: CoD 4

Oh, and "frustrate" = playing the same sequence for the 20th time because it doesn't fucking save often enough.
