Decent FPS

Hanover_Fist · Jun 17, 2011

What's a decent first person shooter these days?

I really don't like Black OPS, the spawn system sucks and Hardcore kills seem kinda weird (I can't explain it).

Anyway, anything that's a good PC FPS that has a decent amount of players even free ones that'll work on Win7?

Thanks

Check out that "pro gamer" thread currently going.

Plus, wait for BF3.

Are you looking for like military or what?

They don't exist anymore.

Sadly, I'm largely inclined to agree with the above. The last FPSs I played a lot were UT3 and CoD4 - both of which had their respective issues.

I did play Battlefield 1943 an awful lot on the 360, but the PC port was cancelled

Teamwork > All

Team Fortress 2.

Having more playing that than any FPS since the early days of UT2004.

come to think of it, I haven't played a really good FPS in a long time it seems. recently the FPS genre has quite literally been a river of poop. it all pretty much looks and sounds the same. it's been one awful, cookie-cutter, wannabe modern warfare shooter after another.

the FPS market is utterly diluted the last couple years.
all of my favorite games of late have been third-person RPG's, action/adventure, and real time strategy. and there's been some decent racing games (ala Test Drive Unlimited 2).

but yeah, it's an extremely weak time for FPS.
I would be hard pressed to say that personally, there hasn't been a good FPS since Fallout New Vegas. and even that is a total rehash of Fallout 3 with just some new guns, enemies, and locations.

I haven't picked up a new RTS in a while that hasn't been somewhat lacking either. I'm tempted to pick UP StarCraft 2 though (but I don't like DRM schemes)

There is one good thing about having a glut of bad games... gives you a chance to check out some classics you might've missed.

One of my gripes with TF2 is that half the classes have a freaking shotgun, even if the Scout has a unique shotty.

BF3 will probably be pretty good. Check out BF2.

dude, just wait for my next FPS, it has jumping frogs in a swamp and Someone will make you his bitch.

Here's hoping Nexuiz remake comes out soon and is good

NRG · Jun 17, 2011

TF2 all day every day.

Best bets are probably Team Fortress 2 and Battlefield Bad Company 2. You might also try a free-to-download-and-play melee style FPS called Savage 2.

Sadly, the entire FPS genre seems to have been killed by consolization.

heh, you'd think a site like that would have a giant "BUY NOW" button for the front page.

I can't see shit as it is.

You're only going to use it if you get in *serious* trouble...

Only as a back-up weapon. It doesn't really take away from anything in terms of gameplay, as the shotgun really is just a back-up weapon.

Sir_Brizz · Jun 17, 2011

TF2 is pretty awful as a competitive shooter. There are too many non-gameplay cruft all over the place, and getting certain weapons that, frankly, are not well balanced even if you want them to be so bad for completing achievements.

Backup weapon or not, they could have gone with some variety instead of just shotguns
In MNC they have 6 different classes and there's no sharing of weapons. Each class has something unique
