| Do ppl still play BF 2142? If not, what FPS are ppl playing I've played every BF game up until this one. I have quit gaming for a few years. Is it too late to join in? I'm thinking about buying an 8800 GT card to play this or jump on a similar FPS game.
What other FPS games are out now that people are playing? | |

Gamers started around the 70's and are still going strong today as 30+ year old gamers as the main audience. I myself am 29 and started on a C64 and then through every damn console just about, then finally into PC gaming in 1998.
While I was PC gaming I did purchase a PS2 and Xbox, both which collected dust and I eventually sold.
PC gaming is where it is at and is where it is going to stay for me. RTS, FPS, MMO, games are BEST on a PC. I have owned over 50+ PC titles and spent roughly $2500 in PC games in over 10 years. As far as hardware requirements going up and up, sorry... if you can't keep up you simply save for the future.
The day I move to a console is the day a console turns into a PC practically, and by that I mean EVERYTHING a PC can do. I don't see that happening for another 5+ years or so... if that. And besides all that consoles go up in price every 3-4 years anyways, so both markets are steadily increasing.
PC gaming is the only way for me, if we didn't have PC gaming I wouldn't be playing at all. | |

Well, you either haven't updated your age or you were 7 years old in 1993 and playing Doom?
So, you started PC gaming when it was unheard of (which was around late 70's and early 80's) at the age of below 10?. Late 80's and early 90's is when PC gaming really took off.
So, you jumped in a time machine or you haven't updated your age in over 6 years when you joined in 2002 at this site which still wouldn't put you in the correct time era for early adaptation of PC Gaming.
Which is it? | |

I hope he keeps replying so Jiga can keep burning him.
I mean why would you even post that in a "PC GAMING" forum? If you hate PC so much why are you even here?
Half-life2 was awesome, Portal was awesome. TF2 alot of people like, I played TFC for a long time and I'm personally not a huge fan of the new one. Doom3 was pretty decent. And I also hear alot of good things about COD4. Should be plenty to keep you busy. | |

1 edit | Re: Do ppl still play BF 2142? If not, what FPS are ppl playing Go back to your console FPS that targets for you. If you can't afford to PC game, then fine, but don't lay this whole negative BS out there that its dying just because you don't want to spend the money.
The line between PC's and Consoles is just going to get more and more gray till there is no line. One box that does it all, does that mean PC gaming is dead? No it means you got an xbox with a keyboard and a pc with a gamepad.

Actually consoles do have their share of bugs and patches, what's worse is that a lot of griefing happens on TF2 on consoles because of the lack of patching.
Not to mention paying for some additional content.

Needless to say, if I had to compare the amount of console bugs to PC gaming bugs, the ratio between the two would be huge. | |

1 edit | said by kywirelessgu :You sir...Fail. You didn't even like Farcry...Hmmm great environment, great AI. Overall great game. And groundbreaking with some of the graphics. Er...sorry that not everyone gets off on the same games. I'd have to agree with him in that FarCry really didn't get my rocks off. Maybe its our "bad taste", or whatever, but it still is our $$$, and folks can spend it how they please.
Personally, in terms of FPSes, I haven't seen anything revolutionary. Portal added something, and my re-discovery of Postal 2 was pretty humor-riffic...however, aside from an increase in graphics, the "got-to-have" FPSes just haven't hit home for me.
On a sadder note, its actually been a better time on the console. Assassin's Creed was enthralling and playing Army of Two was amazing. I personally didn't like Gears of War much (the game its based on), as Army broke up the monotony of duck-duck-duck in Advanced mode.
I'm still on World of WoWcrack, but besides that, I really don't see much of interest in PC gaming coming up. I can't wait to get a hold of StarCraft 2, but as for the other "must play games", eh...kinda snoozers IMHO. Just my opinion.
(edit) Personally, I'll be wrapped up on the console playing Smash when not on WoW. Having folks to play with in-house beats an online experience hand-down for me.  | |

btw far cry was mediocre at best. great visuals, great envi, bad AI, mediocre gameplay. also, there's a ton of long time PC gamers that didnt like far cry particularly much, myself included.

4 edits | said by DaMaGeINC :HAHA. I knew someone would not take what I said the right way. AND YOUR THE WINNER!!! There's more than one way to take what you said? Please explain then, because you pretty much put it plain and simple that;
said by DaMaGeINC :People like me = the ones who started PC gaming when pc gaming was unheard of. The original adopters. You're 22 man, you were not anywhere near the "original adopters", hell even I wasn't. The ones that are 40+ years of age and still gaming to this day are the "original adopters".. FFS son, get it right.
said by DaMaGeINC :Listen people. I have my opinion. I could care less what you think about it. This is what I feel is happening, so go flame someone else. I understand how you feel, I felt that way around 2004/2005 when gaming was semi-stale. With the advance of new technologies we are seeing new heights in gaming. DX10, new and more powerful GPU's, CPU's, etc. Gaming is really taking off these days. Sure... the titles may be the same rehash over and over but we are seeing some new and interesting titles coming our way. Be it RTS, FPS, Adventure, MMORPG, MMOFPS, MMOSimulation, new games are always coming out and new developers are always coming into the market with fresh ideas.
said by DaMaGeINC :Sorry, I thought it was just like every other FPS made since its time. I dont care what it was reviewed. My review of it was it FAILED. Maybe if you had tasted FarCry back in 2004 when it was originally released you would have seen and felt how GREAT of a game it was. It was ground breaking back then, but as you said you just recently played it... it is now 2008, of course it is old tech. I guess the game selling over "730,000 units within four months of release and has currently sold over 1 million copies worldwide" is a failure

said by DaMaGeINC :Ok, Im done with this thread. Cant have a simple discussion on here without all you people getting your panties in a knot over someone's opinion. Im not going to argue with you kids. Goodnight. You just failed... With a generalization like that... everyone here is a kid but you 
As for the OP. I haven't played BG2142 in a long while. I think most have either went back to BF2 or jumped to COD4. I myself prefer BF2 over BF2142. BF2142 didn't really do it for me, while it was a great game the sci-fi of it wasn't enough... I needed more
I prefer mods to BF2 right now, like Project Reality »www.realitymod.com/ or Point of Existance »www.pointofexistence.com/ or Desert Conflict which is the excellent Desert Combat mod from BF1942 »www.desert-conflict.org/

That's a concern for some I guess, but not a big deal for me. That's how PC gaming goes and that is why I strive to learn more about PC hardware/software to this day. Once you learn the In's and Out's of hardware/software the issues seem little. | |

| Re: Do ppl still play BF 2142? If not, what FPS are ppl playing said by DaMaGeINC :Red Faction was soo cool when it was released. Ya know. This thread has got me thinking as to what killed it for me. Back in 1998-2003 They released more popular titles than in the past 5 years. I mean, for each new titles they release now, you HAVE to go and build a new pc just to play it. Back in the day, you could build a pc and play games on it for the next 3 years without problems. Now, you build a pc for all this money, and in 1 year or so, its obsolete. All the new games that come out are even more demanding. It was not like that before. The industry used the existing technology and really got as much out of it as they could, now they just seem to be rushing to get the latest and greatest without really spending time where they are. Obviously you missed 2007, probably one of the best years for gaming. This year, Starcraft 2 might be coming out.
The power requirements are not that bad, about 200-300W peak depending on your config. The Xbox360 and PS3 use about 200W peak as well.
You can still buy a PC today and use it for the next three years, it depends how high you want the settings to be. PC gaming is not dying, it might be expensive but there are a lot of games that cannot be played on a console.
@OP
Team Fortress 2 and COD4 are two games worth checking out. | |

He was a child when even the original Quake came out, but man, that was an awesome game, set the bar for most games today, the original TF was great, played that for 7-8 years, and CS was just coming out when I started getting sick of TF and the rampant cheating | |

Its the same price it always has been. I built a machine a year ago for $1000 that will play most of todays games. I spent $1000 5 years ago for a machine that will still play most of todays games. How much did a brand new 386 cost at the time it was new?

Generalizations. Who are people like you except you? Your just making baseless statements. I believe you are the minority.
None of your posts have any basis on fact. Its just whining.
If you're trying to have a discussion have a discussion instead of just saying "well its my opinion". Try giving us some facts and not just what you think. | |

| I don't see PC gaming going anywhere but I believe IMO it is having difficulty competing with consoles in making money wise and I think that is one of the big reason's why programmers are jumping into that market more. The game quality has not really kept me happy lately, besides COD4 which really stunned me with all the new stuff I can do in FPS. But yea, that kid made "some" good point of companies hyping PC games and in return fall short, but I do not see this occurring in FPS genre but more in MMO games lately. I am/was heavy MMO gamer until I couldn't find anything that could really draw me in. I played EQ2, EVE, Linage2, WOW, you name it I've played it at least for a few months or several years.
I own consoles also, a 360 and a Wii ==(which I love a lot). I have a friend who own's a PS3 which I think best suits for just watching BluRay movies =P. Their are a few games on the console that are fun to play but those fun only last very shortly IMO. If I was ask to choose the most fun console I would say the Wii, I've been playing Wii Sport since it came out and I have not found it boring since. Comparing it to my 20 titles of 360 games which are all covered in dust as well as the system. The PS3 IMO is a slight better than the 360 but the game's are doo doo because of the controller, which is doo doo.
What I love about PC gaming is the option that it gives the person. It gives me the option to upgrade or just wait for it, and it's not just from one source your buying the hardwares from. It gives you that control of what you want in your system and knowing what it can and cannot do. That comfort cannot be duplicated with consoles. Most importantly the control. It is superior compared to controllers. Movements and accuracy are just a lot better. They feel better. FPS and MMO works best this way.
Hopefully in the future more people like myself will return to gaming on PC, because their are games like SC2, Warhammer, AION and others that I hope will bring back PC from this "pause" period. As of now I am waiting for those games to arrive but also casually playing COD4. | |

2 edits | What happened to PC gaming was recession. It hit rock bottom, they all realized that, they all saw it. And right now we are in the "calm before the storm" waters. There is a huge PC gaming revival coming along. However, until it gets here it's going to remain dark and gloomy because we have nothing fresh to play, and there hasn't been a PC game worth buying in quite a few months. As stated before, there is a storm brewing, and it is going to hit us come September.
Many 5-Star titles, Aliens, Fallout 3, Spore, Red Faction: Guerrilla, Starcraft 3, Deus Ex 3, Battlefield 3, Mass Effect, Mass Effect II, Rage (Quake 5), Half Life 2: Episode 3, Portal 2, Team Fortress 2 mass content update. And much more, that I can't recall right now. | |

3 edits | Re: Do ppl still play BF 2142? If not, what FPS are ppl playing said by DaMaGeINC :hahaha. I really got all of you soo worked up sooooooooooooooooo easily. This is all the game I need. What do you expect? you come into a thread asking what PC games people are playing to say that you're not playing any and proceed to hate on PC games and gamers. What's even better is you claim to be a 'real' PC gamer and yet the only games you consider are FPS.. nice one. Your opinion is irrelevant to the thread, don't expect people to treat trolls with any respect.
I'm currently playing Frontlines: Fuel of War online, Splinter Cell Double Agent and the real winner: my first ever play through of Fallout. | |

1 edit | You're 22 man, you were not anywhere near the "original adopters", hell even I wasn't. The ones that are 40+ years of age and still gaming to this day are the "original adopters".. FFS son, get it right.
Yup I'm 41 and started PC gaming on Wolfenstein 3-D Moving on to classics like Doom and Duke Nukem.
At the moment the "IN" game is Cod 4 although TBH it isn't very good at all. Activision have made it for the "Kiddy" audience e.g. very small maps all spawning right next to each other. So you get a server full of headless chickens who are running around getting 50 kills but dying 100 times. Cod UO was far superior. In Cod4 its almost impossible to make your own mods (you can but that stupid ranking system resets) and no one wants to play on a server that resets your rank to 1 and then you have very limited weapon choice.
Theres also the trend with the "kids" at the moment to call you a "camper" if you get more than 2 kills in a row without moving. This isn't hard either all you have to do is find a corner and sit there watching all the headless chickens running past and picking them off. I thought staying alive was the point!!!
PC gaming is dying. Due to software houses producing games look great but play like cr*p. e.g. When you look at a brick on a wall you can see beautiful textures that look so life-like... but its runs at 5fps and the actual gameplay is boring.
SOF2, Cod UO are classics, everything went downhill from there.

| Re: Do ppl still play BF 2142? If not, what FPS are ppl playing I play consoles too. I can't play racing games on a PC just don't like it, at the same time FPS's on console just aren't the same.
I also agree in the area of FPS there have been a lot of lame releases out, but I don't know how groundbreaking you can get with an FPS. Go back and play wolfenstein then doom, besides weapons do they play all that differently? Hexxen continued with the same gameplay different weapons. I mean its a first person shooter, how much can you add to it? Physics and Weapons and better environments, you're always going to be running around shooting stuff, thats the point.
But you got Half life2 plus its chapters and mods (Counter-strike, TF2, Portal, etc.), Doom3, the newer unreal games, Crysis. There's always going to be crap getting released, did you ever hear about extreme paintbrawl? 1998 release, scored like 1.7/10 on gamespot.
I also think companies like EA are ruining PC games because they are more worried about money and putting out buggy releases, on the flip side of that you got Ubisoft who I've been really happy with. Rainbow Six is a great series, I was a big fan of ALL of the splinter cell games, heroes of might and magic, ghost recon, etc. etc.
And while I'm sure EA has issues releasing buggy games, they also usually update it and fix it eventually.
I just dont' see how pc gaming can be dying, yes there is more crap to sift through now just because there are more companies making games now than in 1980. But you got WoW with 9 million subscribers and some other MMO's with plenty of members there's just no way PC gaming is going anywhere. | |
