-
Call of Duty rocks.
It gets so intense at times you wonder why the FPS don't drop, and if it was that mad. Combat house to house was though I guess.
It's intense. Buy it.
-
Sunking, have you trown a grenade and have the NME try to throw it back? One guy did and he vaporized in the expolsion. Too cool.
-
unfortunately I'm victim to the ever parent ATI crash bug. No matter what settings or drivers my game will crash 5-6 mins in any level during single player... but I can play all night in multiplayer.. go figure. I've only gotten as far at the beginning of the car ride.
I'm just going to wait for a patch or driver update before I try the single player campaigns.
-
COD rocks. have you tried the dawnville demo yet? I'm playing it at the highest difficulty level and get killed right away, but at least it makes the experience realistic. (u know, one bullet could kill you and most likely put you out of action in real life)
-
udet they're talking about the full retail version. it was just released a few days ago!
I have yet to buy it... maybe in a few weeks when funds permit :) Red Orchestra rocks. I saw Saurdaukar and Makarov in a game the other night. Mak naded me a few times and my feelings were hurt :(
How is H&D2 coming along? I hope it's not as bugged as the original :) Does it play relatively teh same as the first?
-
Hmm I found the CoD offline demo with max difficulty to be boringly easy compared to online games. Enemy actually dies when you point and shoot at them.
-
H&D2 is really really good. The graphics are top notch and teh game play is near the orginal. Alot of Warbirds in that game too.. though you cant fly em...yet.
I see mak in RO almost nightly. I finally caught Saur in a game.. unfortuantly he was caught up in the bayonet attached = bad accuracy arguments running rampant in that game.

Is it multiplayer?
Not too keen on that web-site...bt it looks and sounds awesome.

I thought about picking up H & D 2.
Which would you reccomend buying first, H & D 2 or CoD?

Well the COD campaign is really quick. The multiplayer is way to fast ( quake sytle ), the maps are incredible along with the textures but the game play is lacking compared to RO which will spoil you with their version of iron sight gaming. Personally I'm hoping for some realism mods with redone player/weapons models. Acutally when I think about it its just a redone MOHAA with iron sights. The squad teamwork gimmick gets old when you realize the bots run scripted paths and do the samething ie: console gaming. "Call Of Duty -scenes stolen from movies"
I don't see the realism when you unload a clip into an enemy and they just flap their arms and get back up and you have to shoot them again.
H&D2 of course is sqaud based tactical but there is an option to play online with up to 32 in deathmatch and cop games.
Try the COD demos... thats pretty much what you get in the retail plus the multiplayer aspect which I tired from fast.

ww2 fps's are the "in" thing right now...as soon as someone makes a good ww1 fps then everyone will go flocking to that...sheesh

COD is boring.. however HD2 is nice!
There needs to be more games following the lines of HD2 rather than COD.
We already have too many quakes in different clothes :I
-
I think this is a obvious question but RO is just a mod right? Not the actual game? I need Unreal tournament 2003 to add it?
-
I'm bought HD2 on saturday and really enjoying it (had to remap just about every key tho). the intro to the first mission is pretty cool too.:)
Online play is really unstable, not been on a server that hasn't crashed at some point. I'm finding quite fun when i do manage to play though.

Yes. UTK3 is 19.99 now.. good price and worth your cash.

I had to do the remap also.. quite bad default keys, unless if you're left handed, then you might keep those.
-
I need to know one thing about H&D2... do the enemies still snarl and have their guns waving about when not alerted or engaged?
The atmosphere and ambience is a big thing for me. As long as the AI isn't as dumb as the original, I'll pick the game up right away :)
-
do u have to have UT to play RO?

As I write this my clan the 1stSF is writing the realism mods for CoD --we will have our server switched over from MOHAA to CoD within a month --we are a tactical realism clan and it will have the basic Mods we have run in MOH---No RanG and pee pee dancing --weapons mods will fix both damage models and recoil-- we will also NOT run the kill cam......Our test server is up and running now and it should be unlocked by this weekend if not before,,Look for the 1stSF name on the server. If you are interested in joining/forming a tact clan let us know, we are trying to promote this form in CoD also.
-
Drone that sounds really good. Post back here when the server is up and running this.
-
Here's two more for the game list
Commandos 3
Silent Storm

What about "The Great Escape"? I almost picked it up this past weekend but passed on it till I could find out a little more about it. So far I haven't seen a "review/preview" anywhere but then I haven't busted my balls looking for one either.

I played it on PS2. It was entertaining. Not worth 50 bucks though IMO.
I just rent PS2 games online. It's much cheaper, and I can try out the ones I want with out forking out the dough for them.

If you buy a lot of xbox games, you may want to check out Red Octane (http://www.redoctane.com/index.html) I use them for PS2 rentals. It ends up being cheaper for me in the long run. I pay 19 bucks a month, and can have two games out at any time, and keep them for as long as I want. I mostly joined because there were a lot of games out that looked like something I may be interested in, but not enough to risk buying them.
Shipping is free each way, and is fairly quick.

The major battles were trench warfare, with large amounts of men rushing into No Mans Land at the sound of a whistle. Then they'd get mowed down by machine guns, the other side would do the same thing. Rinse, Wash, Repeat.
Ever read All Quiet On The Western Front?

How is it different? WW2 was a war of mobilization, fought with weapons that allowed swift movement, WW1 was fought with rifles and heavy .30 cal stationary MG's. In WW2 games you have the objective to capture something (IE documents in CoD or blow something up). The only objective you could have in a WW1 game is: Decimate the enemy waves. You can't tell me that snipers are like the riflemen in trench warfare.

Thanks for the site Martlet. I will be signing up for that one soon.

Alright, gents. You've convinced me, again. Gonna pickup UT2003 tonight after work and download RO when I get home.
What server do you guys play this on? Maybe it's time to reunite the Fighting Johnsons?

Anyone who considers COD not fun should have his fun sensors readjusted.
And he should get fired from his job.

hey I forgot about that!
Last night was by far the best time I've had in RO. I pop into a server and a few minutes later I see Saurdaukar drop in followed by Makarov. An hour later Blckmgc pops in. Saur was ripping a new hole in everyone (literally) with his Stg44. He's an incredible shot. My fascination with the G43 is somewhat dulled... it seems the bullet drop is very high... or it's bugged =] Long range shots *sometimes* work and sometimes they dont (and I know I'm dead on when testing it). Only happened in the Berlin map so far.
We changed our names to [AH]octavius, [AH]Saurdaukar, etc... but the Fighting Johnsons always had a nice ring to it.
[FJ]octavius? or octavius_johnson? :D
-
Octavious Johnson, banana Johnson, Saurdaukar Johnson, Makarov Johnson, Sunking Johnson, Curval Johnson, Udie Johnson....has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
-
Stiehl(steel) Johnson sounds pornorific:aok
-
I just missed you, oct. :) Saur left shortly afterwards (he really is a butcher with the STG44), but I did get to snipe Blk a bit on Stanislalovlolalislalovo.
The G43 works wonders for me on Berlin. Haven't noticed much bullet drop at all, though it does seem to be a little weak. That's mitigated by RoF, though.

dont forget the artillery baragges(sp)
as for not having to capture anything...well what about vimmy ridge??? and what happened on the eastern front (except russia getting its bellybutton horribly whooped)
anyway who knows maybe they could make it fun...it could be like bf1942 in 1916 with slower more tactical gameplay (planes spotting artillery [though the canadians managed to take out enemy artillery with 90% accuracy...without planes) and bombing...artillery barrages...tunneling...all in a mmog consistent 24/7 world...) of course if all else fails they can make a "war of independance" fps...because standing in a line at 20 feet firing at the enemy is ever so much funner...
