Anyone play americas army? i wouldnt mind gaming with some armos that doo..

If you dont know what it is.. it's a first person shooter similiar to counter-strike, except 10X BETTER!...

It's sponsored by the US Army, and is totally free to download.

I did. It was just whatever. I didn't like the engine it was running on. Something about it was too slow and reminiscent of Rainbow Six, which is again, fun, but I have to be in a certain 'mood' to play those types. Usually the 'mood' to play something with more haste, speed, outweighs the mood to play something uber slow and strategic.

As far as your statement that it is better than CS, I find that silly, because these are subjective tastes and preferences of people. I for one prefer CS, because of the way it runs and the gameplay. America's army is too slow and a round sometimes took forever.

Half Life 2

Have you guys talked about Half Lif 2 yet? I got the game yesterday, it's pretty fun. I've been going into my Bios and trying to get my computer to run faster so I can put the grafix settings past what they recommend.

I got it a week ago. The problem I have is my computer barely meets the requirements for this game, which are alot, and it is not running as smoothly as I intended to run. However, I have played it and it is awesome. Sadly, I cannot enjoy the full potential because of lack of upgrades which I hope to accomplish in the next month or two so I can finally get the full experience of HL2.

I won't buy it till I get my new powerful cpu in a matter of weeks. I want to play the game with everything on high from beginning to the end.


As for mouse, if you don't like slow games like me, buy TRIBES: VENGEANCE...or you can download Tribes 2 for free thanks to Vivendi Universal and it's still very popular and really fun!!

What!?

You're saying CS runs better then AAO? Then i blame that on you either
1) not having enough system requirements
2) playing the game in its early stages, not after the major upgrades.

AAO's graphics is much above par then CS, where it looks incredibly boxish and slugish. People in CS dont even run, they sort of slide across the screen. AAO is by far the most realistic first person shooter in the market.

True, some maps take forever, so it all depends on what you play. Large outdoor maps take forever, due to the camping nature of it, but urban maps, indoors, buildings, etc. are usually relativly quick.

At first, you'll spend a lot of time waiting for the round to finish because the game takes a while to get decent at, but this is good, for it is a good way to learn the maps and techniques.

It's not like CS, where you just run around and shoot like an idiot, snipers sniping while jumping into the air in no gravity maps... nothing like this... this is more of a realistic FPS.

It may sound like I've been paid so talk about it again and again. BUT PLAY TRIBES VENGEANCE!! Or any Tribes game and you'll understand what is skill in a game. It's not the point and click FPS like CS or AA...and for the last time, a realist game doesn't mean a fun game.

I would disagree with that and offer Operation Flashpoint and Battlefield 1942.

battlefield 1942?... that game has WAY to many glitches....

[MadHandle]

very valid point... ide delete this thread if i could..
might be a good feature to implement.. thread creater can delete his/her own threads...

I heard that Vietnam the online one was is really fun. But otherwise if any of you have Half Life 1, the free mod called Day of Defeat is a really fun WWII game. It's highly addictive and has room for you to develop skills.
