what do you like most?

[l3hmi]

what singleplayer"style" is your favorite?

do you like to be lost and totally alone, just you and your enemies in the level...

or do you like being together with some backup and fight in a team (not coop i mean bots)

 

[Call me Erdrik]

I like both actualy.

 

[l3hmi]

woopps... there comes option 3 into my mind :/

 

[Chrysaor]

I don't like HL.

 

[MrFawn]

I like best playing with bots, because then its not so scary

Can you actually play with bots???? I'll try that, I'm easely scared

 

[Mxtrmntr]

I love scary games (*cough*Thief*cough*), and I didn't play too many SP games yet with bots accompanying me... HL's guards (and Opposing Force's soldiers) were fun to play with tho... as long as they didn't stop following you because they somehow weren't able to run around a corner or so, which happened... erm, often.

 

[DavidM]

its all about contrasts
good games need both

after lots of scary stuff (alone) you are happy to have someone with you

like in unreal when you are in the temple so long, you are happy to get out of it....a wide outdoorsection, daylight, you feel save again...

 

[[CD]Icedude]

TEAMS! its easier to kill bosses if you have backup

 

[thechief7]

I like being by myself, it gives the feeling of isolation which creates a cooler atmosphere
That's what made Unreal so cool was that you were by yourself on this huge, strange planet

 

[DavidM]

yeah
thats what makes it so scary

but dont you think a contrast would be good?
from time to time you would be happy not to be alone

pimping ONP's friendly mercenaries?

No, anyway, it's quite cool to have someone who helps you from time to time in an sp game... it allows tactics, and, if it's made good, you also care for them. Opposing Force, despite its AI flaws, is a good example (even if you don't like HL); tho, you didn't really care for the other soldiers, but it was cool to have some helping forces around from time to time.

rofl

that's not opfor's only problem... ppl who just don't want to enter certain rooms are quite annoying too... anyway, they were fun to play with as long as there wasn't anything you had to climb on -- or too many doors...

 

[DavidM]

but since there were always stairs....and doors....pillars (all big hindrances) it was never fun 0_o

 

[Mxtrmntr]

If you were patient enough, had a lot of time and didn't get tired of pressing the <E> (= use) button, it even could be fun!

 

[thechief7]

I guess it just depends on the level and what type of environment you want with Unreal
It worked good with Half-Life, even though they were dumba$$es and only followed for about 10 ft.

 

[Rukee]

I just got HL CS and it won`t even load onto my puter......
damn windows!!

 

[Zarkazm]

teamplay rocks!

combination, running trough an alien complex with 3 people, some vehicles parts on the outside ****, trying too back eachother up, and then some parts where you have too split up, 1 guy tries too activate something, the other guards the vehicle, and the 3th tries too keep a hallway free and searchs ammo and other ****

that kinda stuff, uberleet
