I realised today that I'm getting sick of most online play now, I had a long run over the last few days of TF2 online (due to having this week off work) and while I love the game I cannot stand the daily bullshit that goes along with it, primarily the lack of any team balance, lack of team mates that actually know what they're doing, lack of the ability to make a difference to the outcome of the game despite being about 2 or 3 times better than most of the other players.
I really like coop games, I see left 4 dead really being up my ally, but thats not out yet, and well coop games get boring quite fast because the limited maps get played to death. And I rememberd my time with WoW and getting my character upto level 48 which was good fun for the most part but a bit too much of a grind by that point.
Anyway something just sorta snapped, I just cannot justify how stressed I get with games like TF2, CS:S, DOD:S, no matter how fun they are there's always something that eventually just bugs the crap out of me, usualy bad luck, spam, and just getting stuck on team retard for what seems to be the millionth time. Don't get me wrong theres nothing better than being on a good team in a team based FPS but that seems so rare now a days,
So I'm looking for an MMO to take up my gaming time, I doubt I'll go back to WoW, I really liked Planetside when that was out but wont go back to that in the state it's in now. Eve seems like it should appeal to me the way its designed but I've just read too much bad about it to give that a go, besides I'm not too into the futuristic space genre. I took a quick peek at LOTRO and I'm not especially into the books and only watched the movies for the war scenes, the game looked kinda boring.
So what else is there? Lots im sure but can anyone make any personal recommendations for MMO's, ones that are particuarly good, I've never kept up with MMO's so I'm basically in the stone age here.
Thanks for any input.
