UT2003....which i think kinda sucks as is right now. guns and characters all seem weak, and they ruined the damned sniper rifle, it's now a weak PoS lightning-bio gun. The gameplay rocks, and i haven't had any issues with lag. Maps and models all look AMAZING, but unless they have skins, mods, and mutators right out of box, this is gonna be one of those games that patches and 3rd party mod designers will have to save. And yes i have a leaked version, and yes i intend to buy it when it goes final.

BATTLEFIELD 1942!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - NEARLY ONE WEEK AWAY


umm other than that lets see

Hitman 2 might be pretty good if they fix the things that were wrong with the first one (the demo left hope)
UT2k3 of course
C&C Generals - man this game looks REALLY REALLY good
Age of Mythology - I'm kinda hesitant from the video's I've seen of it. I hope they don't screw up the Age of ____ Series because the past ones KICK A$$
LOTR -Fellowship of the Rings (PC) - hope this is good
Unreal 2
Mechwarrior 4 - Mercanaries - MW has been a great series since I've played it (MW2)
METAL OF HONOR: RELOADED!!!!!!! - this game ROCKED!!! and more levels means more fun :D (although it'll be interesting to go back after BF1942)
RTCW - Enemy Territory - both this and MoH came out about the same time and both were awesome. This expansion adds a LOT of cool multi features.


Umm and thats all I can think of

BTW GET MAFIA!!!! (if you have a PC) it is an OUTSTANDING game..... but quickly because September 11th will soon be upon us and then all you'll be able to play is Battlefield 1942 :D

neomits, is there a fix for that refresh rate stuff for 1942? If not.. you think the full version will have the same problem? I don't wanna spend $40-$50 for a game to find out it doesn't work.. o_O

they said they were going to release a patch for the demo soon that would fix it. It hasn't come out yet which has me wondering. But I'm 99% sure its fixed in the full version

The patch for the MP demo is out NOW...and guess what it fixes :D

SERVER FIXES
-Improved server stability.
-Fixed bug that caused server to say it was full when it wasn't.
-Servers started from in-game now use settings from dedicated server
tool if those settings are not in the in-game Create Game front-end.
-LAN servers no longer report to Gamespy master server.
-Limiting the bandwidth now works from the dedicated server

CLIENT FIXES
-Fixed refresh rate locked to 60 hz in Win2k and XP machines. We're working on getting this fix for Win98 and ME machines, but we're waiting for dev support from Microsoft before we can proceed. To enable this on Win2k and XP machines do the following:
-Open the videodefault.con file found in Settings\VideoDefault.con
-Edit the line: renderer.allowAllRefreshRates # (where # can be replaced by 0 or 1)
-Changing this value to one will allow you to select the refresh rates from the
Options>Video section of the in-game frontend. NOTE: the game will default to 640x480.
-Fixed bug that caused ammo-boxes and health-cabinets to not work occasionally.
-Considerably faster internent in-game browser.
-Added icon in the in-game browser for dedicated servers.
-Added icon in the in-game browser for password protected servers.
-Added icon in the in-game browser showing server CPU status, if it's doing well or if it's bogged down by too many players for it's capacity (this is dependant upon the CPU not the bandwidth).
-Added server CPU info in the in-game browser under the server info>rules tab.
-Chat text in-game has it's own color so it's easier to see.
-Server version number will show correctly in server info> rules tab
-Fixed some instances of the internet browser crashing when pressing yes to update to newer version on a 98 machine.
-Fixed player ability to sink Jeeps and Kubelwagens into the ground.
-Fixed free spectator camera does not turn off, even when unchecked in the server.
