I love MW1 multiplayer but haven't tried MW2 yet. What should I know about it besides the dedicated server issue?

Well it's different for everyone, but for me, it's a broken game, with a terrible community of games (not all of them ofcourse).

Commando is ridiculous (you can lunge from like 20 feet away with a knife).

Painkiller only rewards terrible players (it doubles your health for 10 seconds if you die 4 times in a row).

One-Man Army and Noobtubes is ridiculous (they stand in the back of their spawn, shooting grenade launchers at the enemy spawn, then with one-man army, they switch back to the same class to re-fill their ammo.

Matchmaking is horrible as well as host migration (doesn't work half the time).

Infinity Ward barely even supports the game (there are numerous bugs in the game, like 10th prestige glitched lobbies, care-package glitching [This was fixed nearly 2 WEEKS LATER], and there are other glitches too), and with all of these, IW has barely even attempted to fix them.

They charge WAY to much for map packs (roughly $15), and have the audacity to call it a "Stimulus Map Pack".

The kill streaks are extremely overpowered.


I could go on all day.

But for some reason, you keep going back to the game. You get upset, throw something, maybe even not play for a few days, but you always come back to it.

Has anyone ever played Necrovision, by Aspyr games? It's quite cheap on Amazon. I've only begun to get into it, and one doesn't need a powerful computer to play it. It's got DirectX 9/10 modes. I always wondered why there weren't more World War 1 shooters, as opposed to games like Call of Duty, Battlefield, etc. It reminded me of Clive Barker's Undying! Loads of fun if you like the war FPS/survival horror type genres.

Nice find. Looks a lot like Wolfenstein. Will have to try that one out.

In exchange for the just cause 2 recommendation, I'll toss one out: Galactic Civilizations 2 (turn based strategy game). They keep the game up to date with patches even though it's a few years old and it's pretty damn fun.

I'm currently looking for a FPS to kill my free time. While playing online is always fun, 50% of the time i don't have online access.

What i would like is a FPS where i can play against swarm, swarms and even more swarms of bots !

I think about CS:S or L4D2, what,s yout tought on this ?

I always thought UT3 is the best bot game. There are also a lot of cool mods for it (like the haunted mod where you face swarms of demons).

quake 3. ut2000.

[Mastershroom]

Left 4 Dead/L4D2, Counter-Strike: Source, and the Unreal Tournament series (all of them). Quake 3 ain't bad either.

[stevenxowens792]

If you search for my post a while ago with the title of "offline" there are lots of suggestions.. counter strike source, ut3, quake wars, section8, cod4 with pezbots, etc.. etc.. etc...

Thanks,

L4D2 the special infected bots are pretty stupid, but the mass of zombies are still good for single player.
