What is your favorite game to play online?

[DARRIN]

I just recently got a cable modem and discovered what fun it can be to play others over the internet. I've tried Serious Sam2 and Aliens vs Predators so far. What are you guys playing?

 

[Confused]

Simply.....Counter-Strike


I've tried playing MOH:AA online, and with a cable modem and ping of 40, it was so choppy and laggy, and couldn't play it very well at all.

I really haven't tried many online, Quake 3 keeps me happy.

Day of Defeat. The new version is great!

Once you try playing Counter-strike, you will get hooked, trust me

Depends on what you want, i guess.. head2head or online-only games.

I dont play head2head, and as far as online only, i think Asheron's Call is best.. I have played it since beta..

 

[Anubis]

Ill just stick to UT, tribes, RTCW, SS:SE and starcraft

Is counter strike a team effort kind of game?

<< Is counter strike a team effort kind of game? >>



yes, you are on a team, either counter-terrorist or terrorist and as a team attempt missions, ie save hostages, bomb a spot, etc.

Like quake3 except on a specific mission and team-interaction

well, many other features too

a very good game

Realistically, Counter-strike is team death match. When you play online, 9/10 people are just running around trying to rack up points. The other person might be trying to complete the given objetive, but is normally stopped by his/her incompetent teamates. I apologize for seeming cynical, but a couple of years of playing has made me this way. When you first start playing, you'll love the game. After a while, you'll run away from it and try to prevent yourself from ever returning. Trust me.

Urban Terror its a Quake III mod you can get it here www.urbanterror.net.

Descent3

IL2 Sturmovik--fantastic wwii fighter plane sim.

 

[Ben]

Unreal Tournament at LEAST once a day.

Serious Sam FE or SE occasionally.

For a REAL team game, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is great, and requires lots of teamwork. As for me, i'm still owning it up at Rocket Arena 2 mod for Quake 2. And a little Warcraft 3 here and there. Hated Counterstrike, the aiming seemed imprecise and the people walk like mud

 

[Epsil0n00]

I play strictly UT... I love the different game types and variety of mods. UT can satisfy any mood I am in... For class-based action try the Team Fortress ripoff for UT called Unreal Fortress. I tried Quake 3 and didn't like it as much, however I must admit that the action was more heart pounding, which is good sometimes but I prefer UT where I find it personally easier to aim. I also have tried CS but didn't get hooked, maybe I'll try it some more.

UT is the best! I love to play some fast-paced Zoom ESR arena matches in huge arena. That is the best!

Medal of Honour - fantastic when played over a broadband connection with a fairly powerful PC (the multi-player game seems to put more of a strain than the single player missions).

 

[Mem]

Still CS for me especially since I go on some good anti-cheat CS servers ,I still play UT,Q3 etc but CS is still my favourite.

 

[DARRIN]

With the team style games such as CS and MoH, do you guy use headsets with microphones to communicate?

I've tried this with the following:
Athlon 1.467GHz, 256MB ram, GF2MX, 512/128k cable modem

Ping of 40, played like CS with a ping of about 800, and this was on official EA server, 32 players.

For a change of pace from FPS, try Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC). Similar to EQ and UO (MMORPG). Have Fun!
