CS and RtCW

[SWScorch]

I seem to be the only person on the planet who doesn't like these two games. I used to own Half-Life before my friens "loaned" it out to someone, and I downloaded CS when I had it. I dunno why, but I just didn't like it. I think its just the way the engine feels... Movements arent as precise or as natural as they are in games like Quake3. Even after mucking around with the mouse sensitivity and controls, I still just couldn't past the "shaky" feel of the game. Also, the gameplay just didn't seem fun at all to me. Too easy to kill and/or die. You get hit once or twice and you're dead. I prefer having lasting fights, exchanging rounds, that traverse a large portion of the level, before someone gets fragged. In CS, there are no fights. You shoot at someone, and either they die immediately or you miss and die yourself. Not fun.

So lately Return to Castle Wolfenstein is all the rage. My friends tell me how incredibly awesome it is, so I download the multiplayer demo. I set the controls, jump in a game, and I'm like "Oh man, this sucks!" Once again, controls feel all weird, and this is an engine I know and love. Also, the weapons suck. Maybe I just don't like realistic weapons or something. Also, the overall gameplay just sucked IMO. I dont know; I must be weird. I'll take a good game of Descent3 over any FPS any day.

<< I dont know; I must be weird. >>


You are correct, sir!

<< I don't like vanilla ice cream. [/Q

I do


Edit...your're not the only one to not like HalfLife/CS. I thought it was VERY GHEY. I like RtCW tho.

 

[Phuz]

Hahahahahah.

I feel soooo SORRY for you.

You've been missing out on the coolest part of computer game/video development! The FPS!

They've forced hardware and manufacturers to go higher and higher.. the devlopers CAN use everything they give them.

Quake 2.. amazing.. Q3A.. was good for a while. CS.. addictive..
RTCW is being installed now!
I KNOW i'll love it!
CARMACK owns@!

I hate RtCW. But CS is cool... or was until all the cheating recently and the retarted 5 year olds.

 

[digme]

RTCW? what's that

 

[AMDPwred]

RTCW and CS both kick major ass. I love those games.

 

[fake]

I like RTCW, but not CS. *shrug* different strokes for different folks

 

[SWScorch]

*fewf* so I'm not the only one who doesnt like CS...

Is the single player portion of RTCW better than the multiplayer portion?

 

[Kelvrick]

RTCW is Return to Castle Wolfenstein. I don't know, I think that game is fun. I like kicking things. It always gives me a headache after like half an hour though. I can cs for hours without a headache.

I'm with you.

Not stroking, but I agree... :Q

Umm....wait, forget I said anything.

 

[SHT49781]

has anyone tried red faction? i got it and it's freaking awesome. IMO i think it's better then CS and RtCW.

 

[FrontlineWarrior]

like CS, but RTCW multiplayer test was kinda weak. at first i was amazed, but then the gameplay didn't feel right. there wasn't as much satisfaction in killing as there was in CS.

 

[NFS4]

CS fuggin' sucks, but I LOVE RTCW.

 

[gogeeta13]

I used to play CS daily, but it has now moved into the back seat since I got my geforce3(used to have gf2mx). I now play UT Capture the Flag at max res, max details, max everything. I am still in search of a good game(not rtcw, that is the gayest thing ever, like DOD, only way worse, die rtcw, die) that will unilize my gf3. Any suggestions?

EDIT:The kidd, shove it. I have red faction too, and that kicks major ass, so eat my rail gun!

 

[TheKidd]

Red Faction sucks a goat's b@lls. CS is for people who have nothing to do but cry about how everyone is cheating, or about how much they own everyone else. The RTCW multiplayer test was a lot of fun, haven't got to check out the full version yet.

 

[SWScorch]

if ya'll want something different, try playing Descent3. Its a few years old, but the graphics are still good, the netcode is the best I've ever seen, and the multiplayer is incredible.

BTW, I just got done playing ~2 hours of Q3A. Gotta love Excessive

 

[j@cko]

maybe you wack yourself too much.. that's why you feel the control for these game are shaky.

 

[jcovercash]

Man I just got RTCW and it RoXorS. Even though i havent gotton used to the feel of it I know I am gonna like it, if not then i cna just look at the eye candy :-D

SWScorch, deathmatching in Descent 3 consists of strafing in a free environment while being able to aim at the same time right? If so, how does it work? I mean the standard WSAD setup occupies most of your fingers, how would you be able to control the float, sink, accelerate, and deccelerate buttons at the same time?
