ok so ive played a bit of Combat Arms now.
Its pretty fun in small doses. they need some more maps though. the ones they have a too simple or small or imbalanced. cheating seems fairly common too. they dont even try to hide it at all :\
i dont really like the FFA mode. Elimination is good on the good maps. I havnt played a CTF or objective type map that wasnt insanely imbalanced yet. everyone i have played, the losing team scored 0.
anyway fun game overall. it is fairly similar to a couple of old fps that i used to play heaps.
what gun do you guys like the best? so far been using an AK with a scope which is ok but keen to try out some different ones soon
EDIT just played CTF on the junkyard map, that was pretty good |

I use g36e & mp5 mostly. Often have both on me as well, with extended clips.
I joined a clan for a few matches. Thats a whole different ball game. So much more competitive. |

of course, clan play is where its at for fps. pubs get boring, fast. |

Call of Duty 4 is amazingly good thus far, for an arcade-style shooter.
It runs so damn well at 1680x1050, full AA (4x) and all options high :)
Will crank some Vegas 2 later, hopefully in my absence from the "Rainbow Six" games, they havent lost their awesome tactical style!
And Far Cry 2 is pretty damn fun as well, just the AI is pretty and you have to drive heaps, needs a bit more patience I guess.
Taking out innocent wildlife is fun though :) Oh, and digging out bullets of your arms and legs with a knife.... And having malaria. Well that isn't fun, but its cool in game. |

the UT3 engine is the most impressive engine ive ever seen. bioshock, CoD4 and (i think) dead space all look truly amazing. texture quality omg.

dont know about you but i found vegas to reek of suck and console. nowhere near the nail-biting tactical monster that ravenshield et al were. |

bioshock is absolutely amazing graphically and the whole way they captured the atmosphere of the time so well is :O :O. don't think any other game has done it so well
however
the game itself totally sucks
and is good for about 10 minutes. :( |

yep bioshock sucks balls.. most shooters do.
dead space and littlebigplanet should be purchases for me duty free when i go on holiday soon |

bioshock was one of the most polished, engrossing and immersing games ever made. the attention to detail and the atmosphere were awesome. you two are clowns :clown:
edit: dead space is good but not great imo. still a worthy purchase tho. |

yes it was very polished, and the attention to detail and atmosphere is one of the best of all time
but
the game itself still sucks. |

it doesn't suck anymore than any other shooter ive played sucks. and the sheer number of ways to kill enemies was quite fun imo. |

Was pretty cool though, I'l see how far I get before I get bored.
Going to buy an Xbox controller for the PC today ;) |
