Bad. Bad you. COD4 was not something to skip, best game of the series. Also best graphics. Also best multiplayer, save for WaW which I haven't tried yet.

Thats like saying a gold turd is somehow better than 3 other regular turds. In the end its still shit.

Old != bad

Not my fault the industry can't release a competent multiplayer FPS, while I don't own it, Ill give kudos to L4D. Just go look at Unreal 3, god that game sucks balls

Someone will rape you Caff

[Eschatos]

Caff likes FPSs like I like custom maps.

[Wedge]

I think Caff sort of has a point.  I can't think of many FPS games that came out in the last ~4 years I like either.  And I never even played PC games until 2002 or something.  I mean really once you get past that 2003-04ish range, not a lot comes to mind.  Probably not a coincidence either that almost any FPS since then has been developed for console at the same time.

Ive said it before and Ill reiterate it

When you develop an FPS game, do what valve does, you make it for the PC first, then you port it to consoles. If you go the other route, you end up with a flaming pile of dookie (ref: Unreal 3, Shadowrun).

If you go PC-> Console you get a good product that is workable and enjoyable for all (ref: l4d & Orange box).


Seriously, you can't even adjust VIDEO settings in Unreal 3, what kind of shit is that

As much as it pains me to say a bad word about Valve, the whole server/match-making malarkey in L4D is straight from the world of console MP.

Oh look we are standing under the mistletoe.  Isn't that awkward.

Somewhat true, it's not exactly a standard multiplayer FPS, so I don't think just plain having servers to browse really works anyways.  Since I don't consider it a game you can just jump into the middle of the round of, unless you're dicking around.  The lobby thing in some format was sort of necessary.  The problem is linking the lobby system with your own servers is sort of lacking at the moment.

Do you want some of it? Thats what I just remember someone else saying since I haven't even bothered to play it after watching some gameplay videos. Maybe they just got lost in the menus, or maybe they were referring to having more control over the video settings. Like instead of just setting low-medium-high-ultra they would like to be able to set the actual number of AA passes the card makes.

It blows chunks regardless. It's a really shitty game.

"no minigun, instead we're giving you something like a minigun that shoots fucking CRYSTALS"

yeah, it was pretty shitty.

also, cod4 is awesome. I own in multiplayer 8)

also, I just saw an ad on TV. the announcer said something about emerald, ruby, and sapphire. I thought he was talking about pokemon until he said jewelry.

List of FPS games that I like...

Planetside
CSS
CS 1.6
TFC

Tribes 1 & 2
UT 99
UT 2k3
Doom (all)
Quake 1 - 3
BF 1942

Replace UT2k3 with UT2k4 and you're pretty much set. To think that eventually there will be a day when every FPS will just be a super generic consolized pile of garbage. Heck, if that silly Halo RTS catches on, we will even see our precious RTS genre get bastardized. Dark days ahead.

Oh, add Serious Sam: Second Encounter to that list and you more or less got mine.
