Call of Duty 4

Ahhh, I forgot all about Duke Nukem! Great game! Did any of you guys ever play a game called Blood? It was a Duke Nukem total conversion mod I think. That was a really fun game to play as well. I played all those old school FPS games, Hretic, Hexen, Rise of the Triad, and then all the old Blake Stone and Wolf 3-d. All great, great stuff.

I miss playing deathmatch with the first Red Faction too, that was awesome.

Man, if anyone is down for some old school gaming, let me know. We could play online sometime! I'm pretty sure I could host game cause I have some static IPs...

Nah, Q2 never really hit it big nearly as much as the others in the series. Quake, the first one, was revolutionary when what was it? quakeworld? came out and we figured out how to play over a tcp connection. That was crazy. Of course we were playing over modems pc-to-pc before then. I remember DWANGO and doom. Playing 1 on 1 matches over modem with duke3d, descent...

Q2 I don't remember playing beyond the initial first few months. Actually, now that I thknk about it--q2 held a long shelf life for me in the form of mods, rather than the game itself...prolly why i don't remember playing the orig q2 that much (especially vanilla Q2 multiplayer). When Quake3 Arena came out..! That was the game in college. There were Unreal Tourney adherents, but to me, it was Q3. Of course, college was also big with goldeneye.

Anyway, as I said. Consoles are great in and of themselves. Halo multiplayer is a category all its own. Great fun, surpassing my prior quake fun. Controllers just gradually became ok for me, and I'm kind of ashamed of the closemindedness I had. Still often prefer m&k, but controllers work more "naturally" in certain instances.

Wow, I don't think I know anybody that preferred Q2 multiplayer to Q3Arena (how is that possible? nostalgia? because I do not see anything better in the previous one). I know plenty of Unreal Tourney guys who preferred it over Q3A...but never heard anybody who was into FPS multiplayer to say Q3A "sucked hard." That's just as surprising as hearing kids say that they can't get used to playing an FPS with mouse/keyboard. Bizarro world. hm. Learn something everyday.

Quake 3 Arena's engine is what sucked. It was almost too fast. What I don't like about Q3Arena is the same as what I don't like about the later Unreal games. I thought Quake 2 deathmatch was VASTLY superior to Arena. It was just more dynamic. Plus you had those awesome "super bombs" that vaporized entire areas of the game. I loved that. I liked the original Unreal, and the first UT.

You know, I also don't care for Team Fortress, especially the new one. I think its quite lame. I don't like the corny cartoonish grafics AT ALL. And again, the game seems almost too fast to even pay attention to what's happening. But then again, I never liked TF to begin with.

CS:S is where its at.

Yeah I got COD4 for PS3 and it definitely was amazing. I played COD2 the first day it came out for 11 hours straight first time I put it in until I beat it 11pm-10am and must say that the one player experience of COD4 was better in quality but wow it was over too soon. Maybe they will offer downloadable levels in the future. Anyways I am Decat on PSN if anyone sees me on there.

Just bought me a used Genesis Gen2 at a game trade store this weekend. Sadly, the guy also had a Dreamcast but I couldnt bring myself to getting both systems. My conquest to own all the systems continues, heh.

Gary, if you are looking for a Dreamcast mine is still in excellent condition. In fact we still bring it out for some playtime every once in a while. When we had all the kids over for Thanksgiving guess what they brought out of the closet and played... yup the Dreamcast. Even though I have an Xbox and Xbox360. Let me know if you are interested and I can get a list of everything I have with it.
