I blew through CoD... multiplayer is similar to MOHAA in a way. In the end, it's kind of boring.

Multiplayer WW2 FPS? I'd go with Red Orchestra.

Its a mod right? What game do you need?

Unreal Tournament 2003... only $20.00 at the moment (I think).

Looks sweet...

Its the same number of players on the servers? up to 32?

Im thinking about giving WWIIOL a try, not for the flight sim part. but for the ground war...

Aces High.

Well, if there's some hot action available. BI and AKD are tough weeks for me.

Rude's got some of us interested in America's Army. Free download, free play; lots of different maps and missions. Rounds last 10 minutes max, but can be very, very short if the objectives are completed quickly. Some are just a minute or two sometimes. Seven rounds to the match, then the match restarts. Various weaponry, terrains, day, night, sandstorms.. lots of variety.

It ain't flying but it is FIGHTING; LOTS and LOTS of FIGHTING.

Once you get the hang of living for a while and start killing what you shoot at... it can be fun.

But a good air-to-air fight in AH beats the best match in AA..... IMO.

OTOH, every round in AA guarantees fast action which is something often hard to find ...... well, you know.

Rainbow Six III - fun
Call of Duty - fun & nice to look at
CMBB - CMBO - fun
Homeworld II - ok
Korea Forgotten conflict - fun
Deus Ex II - cr*p
Lomac - waiting on my shelve to be patched
Max Payne 2 - fun
XIII - fun
Commandos 3 - fun
Terminator 3 - cr*p cr*p cr*p cr*p
Squad assault - on the shelve waiting...

Has anyone tried Secret Weapons over Normandy yet???

Been playing Medieval Total War and Planetside on computer, and NCAA 2004 on my PS2.

Call Of Duty. Octavius is right, it doesn't blow me away like MOH did.

Running through Half Life again.

Forgotten battles occasionally. Grand Theft Auto Vice City sometimes.

Halo demo on LAN with my son.

Don't really have time for anything but Aces High. All of the above are played kind of on and off.

When I'm not in Aces High, I'm in There, often running around or in a buggy, on a hover-bike or more recently a hover-boat. Only problem is they don't have guns.....

Though there is paint-balling too...... otherwise going to one of the many events or just joining a chat.....

The 'other' Flossy:

Out of sheer boredom I reinstalled BF1942 and downloaded about a gig of patched and Desert Combat updates.

Theyve done alot of work to that mod in the past 9 months since I last played it - still a ****load of fun.

PS: Ditto on Deux Ex II being crap. I downloaded the demo and was disapointed.

Star Wars KotoR is fun, but the no MP support means it's not going to stay on the hard drive for too long.

_Schadenfreude
What modern battles?

My version only has gear and dates to 1950? is there a modern addon?

CoD is awesome.... I played it as the highest difficulty level from the start (i recommend doing that as you may breeze through it too quick otherwise)

The soviet missions and pegasus bridge missions are worth the game's money alone imo.

Kinda funny to have full power in the 747, climb, and the thing goes to idle.

I do, however, have short field landings mastered

I played around with MSFS 2K2 and 2K4. Neither one of them worked with the Sidewinder Precision 2. I pitched them and went back to FS2K.
