Well i got Q4 and i love the online play of Q3A but with Q4 most of the servers are shity, or theres no one in them so im lookin for somethng else.

Most important thing im lookin for is online play, single player stuff is cool but i leave that to console gaming.

Suggestion?
 
those are an option,
I was just thinkin about gettin into something more reality based?

EDIT:
Intel you posted when i did :p
forgot about BF2 whats COD2?
 
Dunno if you've played it already, but since you're looking for a slightly more reality based game, give Americas Army a shot.
 
havent tried that one, might have to check it out

What about counter-strike source? Ive heard of it but not sure what it is really
 
Have you played Counterstrike at all? if not, it's a multiplayer game with counter terrorist, swat like guys, vs terrorist's... guys with mask and ak's killing each other.. it's that simple yet very fun.
 
now that sounds cool and different from what i have been playin. Ive never played it at all. Is the game called Counter strike source or just counter strike
 
Counterstrike : Source is far from realistic. Many times have shots been fired 2 meters to the left of the target and were succesful I'm pretty sure people intentionally fire off target to actually hit them.
 
the only thing i know about it is the name goes by CS:S alot and its a military type FPS. other then what Nuzzle said thats about it lol
 
Okay, lets try to explain.

You've got your terrorists and your counterterrorists. Depending on the map the terrorists have to bomb a bombsite of their choice (A or B), or the CT's have to rescue hostages and take them to a safe zone. Say you're in Dust, terrorists have to plant a bomb and buy enough time to let it go off, but CT's can also be armed with a bombdefuser, which does what the name suggests, defuses the bomb. However, if the CT doesn't make it in time, and the bomb goes off, Terrorists win the round (Round time depends on the choice of the server admin) Same thing applies for CT and the hostages, though T don't get hostage kits, or something. :p Another way to win the round is having your team wipe out the opposing team.

Weapons.

At the start of each round you get money to purchase weaponary. Depending on how well you did in the previous round you'll come out with more money that you started with, or the same amount if you had a bad round. You can buy rifles, SMG's, assault rifles, handguns, equipment (flashbang, HE grenade, armor, etc) shotguns, and maybe some other stuff that i odn't remember off the top of my head.

Oh and if you die, you won't spawn right away, only when the next round starts (you could be doing nothing for 6 minutes if the timer allows that). You are able to follow your team and/or the other team while you're dead though.

Hope that explains something. ^_^

I was just havin a discussion with someone about that game, it seems more focused on the driving/flying aspect, than actual soldier vs soldier combat. I stopped because it was just to easy and EA exploited the game way to much it had a certain fun factor but it got old :(

CS: S is like SOF2 without the crouch leaning, good netcode, competent designers.... :rolleyes: Eventhough it has many flaws it still is a decent game. Get a bronze copy of HL2 at www.steampowered.com and you can expierence quite a few different games.
 
Thanks for the explanation :)

So its all team stuff then? No go it alone and kill everyhting DM type stuff?

Nah, you can go it alone. But if you come up against the other team that are in group, you're pretty much finished. If you're going alone it helps to be more stealthy. -shrugs-

Yeah if you don't work as a team you are sure to be killed. A word of caution though, it is quite addicting. :) "Just one more round, then I'm done..." ;)
 
i'd vote FEAR. very realistic and MP is one of the best i've played. try the MP demo

Do you have Half-Life 2? That's a great game and has an epic story. Get Half-Life 2 and you get Counter-Strike: Source and HL2:Deathmatch for free.
 
Counter Strike is not a game that you can just jump into. I would say it is a lot different than a lot of FPSes. Although if you buy Half Life 2 HL2:DM is pretty much your standard FPS DM game. In addition, the gravity gun makes that game a little interesting.

Ick! I hate Multiplayer in FEAR, it's too fast paced for me. But Singleplayer, God I love that game.
