Name your favorite DX8 game

[NoStateofMind]

What is your favorite DX8 game? I realize current games can be run at DX8, but which one's did you like the most from that era?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Probably Mafia. Deus Ex was DX7, right?

 

[SynthDude2001]

UT2004 probably

I think so, it used the (original) UT engine

how much dx8 stuff did UT2004 really have tho? i can't remember (at comparable res/eyecandy settings) it looking very different on my gf4mx440 compared to on my mates ti4200 or later my 9800 pro...

actually, the only thing i can think of it that the health vials looked sparklier and prettier on my 9800 pro

Warcraft 3 FTW

 

[fliguy84]

yeah warcraft 3 (classic, not tft)

and also, Deus Ex 2. that game is the prettiest DX8 game imo

the 1st (possibly 2nd as well) splinter cell

[nRollo]

UT2004, hands down. I still play.

 

[Cheesetogo]

Mafia had a fantastic storyline IMO, although UT2004 is fun too.

 

[Jon855]

I thought UT2k4 were Dx9 version games not Dx8?

 

[tuteja1986]

BF1942 !!!!!!! UT2K4 was crap ... it was UT2000 with better graphic and stolen ideas from BF1942.

Oh ya, who do you play as?

Soccerman06=Icy in CSS, Doom3, Halo, and UT2k4

 

[Gstanfor]

NOLF 2, Mafia, Morrowind.

 

[Munky]

Max Payne 2, NOLF2, and C&C Generals. In fact, I still play Generals Zero Hour, so I guess that would be my favorite in replay value, but Max Payne 2 would take the honors for the first time around.

yeahm max payne 2 looked awesome, was great fun, and the engine scaled brilliantly into the bargain

 

[Griswold]

Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis

Scratch Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, just checked the box, its an openGL engine.

 

[secretanchitman]

jedi knight 2
warcraft 3

oh man, there were lots of good games. they still run fine on my geforce3!

 

[Rockhound1]

COD (that was a DX8 game, wasn't it?)

 

[NoStateofMind]

Maybe the Medal Of Honor series?

 

[CP5670]

Freespace 2 SCP

 

[DeathReborn]

Morrowind and Operation Flashpoint. 2 under-rated games with long awaited sequels in the works.

Was Diablo 2 DX8? If so, then that would have been my fav DX8 game.
