Put me down for the original Unreal Tournament (1999, GOTY). There's even a community of people who still play UT99 capture-the-flag competitively and greedily, spontaneously forming teams for 5-on-5 clan match style matches. (If anyone's interested in the PUG (pickup games) matches scene, PM me and I can hook you up.)

Is that only for CTF, or does it also include domination and assault?

X3 - mostly because its one of the only games I have that takes advantage of my Saitek X52, plus the atmosphere and graphics are great
Resident Evil 4 - played it on GCube, PC, and now replaying it on Wii
Assassin's Creed - finished it on Xbox360 and re-enjoying it on PC
Divine Divinity - one of the only good mixes of hack-n-slash/role-playing outside of Diablo
GTR2

Expecting to replay the Witcher once the new content is released

Company of Heroes. :p I can't stop.


:thumbsup: to OP for Ceasar 3. That game was pretty cool back in the day. Have you checked out Imperium Romanum?


EDIT: I see what the OP did here: Old games...hrmm....right now, with school, I can only afford to play CoH.

CS:S and a lot of it. I've been a regular on one server since July 2006. It's pretty much the only server I play on and we have a good group of people.

Generals is old? Dangit 2003 was five years ago... sigh. Anyway, do you have Zero Hour, and have you tried the Shockwave mod?

Edit: My only machine has GMA 950, so all my stuff is necessarily old :D I still play Zero Hour and the Shockwave mod, Master of Orion 2, and occasionally Yuri's Revenge

A big +1 for Masters of Magic. Amazing game. I've been playing it non-stop for a while.

Excellent game. All 3 Wipeout games for PS1 are great. Too bad the series went downhill after that.

Battlefield 1942, Unreal Tournament 2004, and Rome Total War. All of them have sequels, but I play the earlier ones more.

Haven't played it in a while, but I would say Raven Sheild. I went through that 3 times and still want to do it again.

If you count Medieval II as "old", then that's the clear winner. Been through one campaign or another (including expansions) about 8 times so far in one year.
