Re: Do ppl still play BF 2142? If not, what FPS are ppl playing

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.
just a little heads up...

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. |

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. |

said by DaMaGeINC :People like me are the ones who made gaming what it is today and now people like me are giving it up. Its only a matter of time until the newer adopters realize the same thing. huh? Sounds like you just lost your love for gaming period. Cost of keeping PC upgraded expensive? My PC i built a year ago still plays all the current games fine.
Team Fortress 2 is not just hype, its a great game. |

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.

Wow, I also remember buying a sound card just so I could hear the squelch from gibbed enemies in Doom. I had no idea that made me so 1337, I'm also a pioneer for PC gaming. If only I'd known. *begins to dribble* |

| 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. |

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. |

Well I still play BF2142 as well as COD4. I have Red Faction but haven't played it in a while. I have heard that RF3 is coming out and I hope it has multiplayer on it and hope it is nothing like RF2. I am talking for the PC now. |

I just dont' see how pc gaming can be dying
Because people are moving to consoles. I know I play on my Wii a lot more these days because they are guaranteed to run fast and I don't need a £350 graphics card and a quad core to do it.
Games companies are obsessed with making a game look life-like with no consideration of gameplay.
Go try Wii sports, a very basic game with VERY basic graphics. But the gameplay is fantastic... you don't even notice the player sprites are basically little triangles with balls for heads because you are so locked into the gameplay.

| You can find the same thing for PC, check out the trackmania post on these very forums. Not only is it a very fun game to play, its free and it runs on crappy systems. They are still putting out runescape type games that run right in your web browser, top down 2d gaming with graphics a C64 could support.
You can find the same quality games for PC there's just more crap to sift through.
I've been content the past several years. I've never wanted for a game to play on my PC, there is always something out or coming out that I'm looking forward to playing. I just don't see the huge difference between consoles and PC game quality. Not to mention PC's feature alot more moddability to extend the life of games you already own. |
