Postal is fun as well - have you ever played multiplayer with low gravity settings?

BF2 is a fave of mine as well.
I recently downloaded the AIX 2.0 singleplayer mod, and it's such an improvement over the original game. More vehicles, jets, choppers, weapons, capabilities, maps.. The AI is overhauled so well, you'd think you were playing against real people.
I think you can use the mod on private servers with your friends, but you obviously won't have it on ranked servers.


I played Crysis not too long ago and was pretty impressed. I didn't like how short the game was, but there's some awesome gameplay dynamics in that game. The graphics are amazing as well.

Fear


to talk about fear in a FPS genre discussion and to not mention System Shock is like talking about hard rock and never mentioning Led Zeppelin.

After playing through everything in the Orange Box, doing all of the developer commentaries, playing Left 4 Dead, it really is interesting to get a good idea on how Valve approaches games. Throughout the past year, when I really started to get into Valve's games, they have become one of my favorite developers.

Anybody else here like Timesplitters 3? Nothing about it is all that groundbreaking, but the multiplayer was so simple and fun. Me and my friends never even played online, we just had tons of fun playing 4 player splitscreen against bots. It just had so many weapons and features, like the map editor that made it replayable. I kind of think of it as a FPS party game, its simple, fun, mindless killing that pretty much anybody can play.

Timesplitters 2 is better.

I just bought that one fairly recently but I have to say I'm having a hard time getting into it. The controls are really annoying and honestly I find it too hard to be very enjoyable.

It's basically only good as a co-op. I'd play it with a friend. It is really hard, but I think you can tone down the difficulty if you want.

Is that the one with all the zombies and you gotta fight your way out of some ridiculous situations?

No.

Time splitters 3 is better then 2 simply because the controls aren't so ****ing annoying.

They announced TS 4 i think.

I would definitely buy it.

I really hate FPS games but the select few that I have liked along the way would have to be GoldenEye on N64 and Perfect Dark. I also liked Duke Nukem
