Ok here is the problem I am having. I am trying to run a dedicated server on UT2k4 that my friends can play in. After trying a bunch of different tricks, I managed to make a dedicated server that I could join, but after testing none of my friends could (black connecting screen until timeout)...
Yes, normal people carry RPG's and Assault rifles. Everyone reads a thread title "guy shoots BF2 with an AIRGUN" and everyone is expecting explosions and weapons most people wont have?
I think he should have just done something a tad more extreme yet plausible. He filmed the shooting like...
I was looking at the newer RTS games today and wondering about these 2 games:
Civilization 4 and Battle for Middle Earth 2
I already have Empire at War but I was wondering what others thought of the above titles.
I think adding in bullets bouncing off walls would be annoying. In games like CS it would basically be another way for me to get hit in the head with stray bullets and have to sit out the round.
When it comes to games some of us want gameplay > realism. Its like letting tanks run over...
Most MMO's are missing the point of MMO, player interaction. And play interaction doesnt mean finding your items on the Auction House and basically getting together to group up for a raid. I liked Star Wars Galaxies better. All the items were player made, most drop items were awful quality...
Ok I know it may be presumptuous to say it seeing as how my friend Evil Juggalo and I made it but you guys might find it funny. We were making a "Public Service Announcement" playing Generals to show the downside of massing one unit. Turned out pretty funny, its about 2 mins, if you watch...
I like Empire at War as a single player game. The length of time that Galactic Conquest scenarios run make it hard to commit to playing a random opponent online. As for things mentioned on this last page, auto-resolve usually causes you to lose more units than you would commanding the battle...
Well you prolly wouldn't like WoW then. You can level up soloing and occasionally small grouping but after 60 its big guild raids, honor grinding, faction grinding, farming for money, or sitting in major cities trying to sell stuff. Not much else to do in that game, player interaction aside...
I thought the ending for Frozen Throne was pretty interesting although the entire storyline for the game and expansion reminded me a lot of Starcraft
SC: Kerrigan gets infested by the Zerg and made one of their agents, makes a slow rise to power while the other races are desperately battling...
I am inclined to agree. Steam should be a multiplayer-only thing. Unfortunately they integrated it in just for launching the game in general. After all, for Half Life 2, deathmatch launches as a separate program.
depends on what you want to do. Certain classes are good at soloing (doing quests and certain objectives by themselves) while others are just more needed (have more things to contribute to a group). If you can solo, its faster leveling but sometimes more trouble finding groups (as these become...
In Half Life 2 and the newer releases of the older half life and counterstrike games they require steam to play it. You install Steam and make an account (free) and put in your CD Key. The Steam account stores your CDKey so if you uninstall or reformat and install later you just log in to your...
I can safely tell you its a LOT of time involvement, and you wanna consult ppl that play before making a character you will commit to. I switched classes too many times after lvl 30-58 and then switched factions before i found a character that I liked. Then I quit playing b/c I got tired of...
I had a random thought because I never actually figured out what happened to Archimonde at the end of Warcraft 3 (not the expansion). A bunch of wisps started circling around them like they were harvesting him or something and he basically was defeated. They never explained exactly what happened.
Yea if you have a friend who bought it ask for the trial key and borrow the CD's to install/make a trial account. They last 10 days. Aside from that, you can look for WoW videos, they are all over the internet now. Just watching them one of my friends got a good idea of what the game was like...
In CNC Generals, a friend and I made a video of me using the Chinese Nuke General with 12 upgraded bombers and him making a bunch of angry mobs. Some of the mobs flew up so high they hit the camera.
I agree with the last post here, I got reasons to stop playing when I saw how much time investment was required in it. I didn't want to spend all my free time building up my character when I can just play a non-MMO game.
I think the OP of this thread is treading on dangerous ground with this idea.
First of all, World of Warcraft is a waste of time, in my opinion. The game is structured like a chore to accomplish certain objectives. That's why I stopped playing it. Commit to 3-6 hour dungeons that you can...
You've listed off the main MMO's I had heard of recently and werent interested in them. You may want to look into DND online or Lord of the Rings online (or could be called Middle Earth online, they changed the name), which neither have been released yet, but you just may need to wait on a new...
I think most of the RTS games that have come out have been good for the most part. Each engine has their own style of play in which just because you don't like that one does not make it the worst game ever.
I think there are some RTS issues that, if not addressed, can kill the gameplay. My...
