First-person shooters for PC?

[EJK]

I've played many horror games (RE, Silent hill) and seen most of the horror movies at my local video store but still I get jumped when playing "Doom 3". Even with the cheats on (god mode, all weapon, go through fuckn wall etc) I still chicken out. Seriously, Doom 3 is my fav/ best game. Period.

Really? Wooooowwwww. It had too many monster cupboards for me - I got a little "over" dumping my guts everytime something jumps out to eat my face. Quake 4 is really good. It has some real "cannon fodder" team based stuff and really really bad vehicle physics but it was FUN!

Lol, ya. My GT at stocks speeds is slightly slower than a 4830.
As soon as I get another job, 4870.

+1 for URT (Unreal Tournament) almost any edition

it's cheap, you can set up bots and it runs beautifully on mediocre hardware

We use to play it on bog standard Dells at work -but er - ahem - only after hours - honest.

;o)

If you have never played them then you have to try Unreal & Unreal II. Half life is another must.
they may be old games but the stories are first rate and the games are long. It's also amazing how good the graphic engines were made. With everything turned up and on they still look very good compared to new game engines.

Urban Terror! - for some fast killing action

Battlefield series is good too....1942, Vietnam, 2142

[Lias]

ATI 4850 1gb, or a 216SP GTX260 1GB.
If you're thinking of a little less dorrah, go for the 4830.

I just got a 4830 and its a damn fine upgrade for brokearse gamers.. err "budget orientated gamers"..

Can any1 recommend some good first person shooter games for pc?

Obviously CoD4 and CoD5 are there.

Any others?

Depends on if you want to play online or not. I'll assume you want to play online, and actually have a decent choice of servers etc to play on.

COD4 obviously, COD5 not so much (COD2 is still more popular than COD5)
Wolfenstein ET is still pretty popular online, despite being pretty well dated.
Left 4 Dead is up there.
Various HL2/Source games esp Counter Strike and Day of Defeat
Battlefield 2142 and Battlefield 2

I've been waiting for someone to mention Deus Ex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_Ex). It's a 1st person shooter/sneaky type thing - very non linear gameplay.

Cheers,

Ooohhhh *pricks up her ears* I'm way out of touch with the newer games, but I still LOVE playing CS and DoD.

DoD rocks my socks off..... I get to shoot shoot shoot and it cost me like $10US for 3 Source games.
Headsets help too, some of the guys get so serious about it LOL

There is only one FPS game you will ever need.


BF1942 & its mods.

Heh. Used to play the multiplayer demo over and over again when it first came out... Wake Island is still a good map after thousands of rounds played.

I remembered it again a few months ago; bought the 7-fooking-CD complete box set on Trademe. Just wanted the CD key really to play online. BF1942 + SW + RtR + Vietnam.

Forgotten Hope is an amazing mod. Shame there's not more players in Oceania so you can get a decent game.




A challenger appears: Battlefield Heroes. Stupid fun. Beta keys are being handed out left right and centre, too -- sign up to Filefront or whatever, there's instructions all over the place.

Half Life Series, Fear Series, Doom 3, Far Cry 1 and 2, Crysis, various others - too many to mention...played 'em all...right back as far as the original Quake...
