    FEAR

    Probably played the most MP with that one. I don't play much MP anymore.

    yeah, historically for me it's always been CS:Source but lately, I find myself spending more and more playing time with CoD:WaW.

    Battlefield 1942. I remember getting that within the first month it came out and couldn't put it down. I had dial-up at the time so I couldn't play any multiplier but the single player was fun as hell.

    Once I got cable, I never left my room. :D

    Currently, my favorite fps are Left 4 Dead and Counter-Strike:Source... both of which I completely own.. :cool:

    Same here. I've played a few different FPS titles since, but now when I want my FPS fix, good ol' BF42 is what I grab.

    The graphics in BF42 are dated, but the gameplay is still what team-based military-style FPS's strive for. It's just fun. I still play BF2 & BF Vietnam as well from time to time, when I want a more modern game environment.

    It really is a great game. The only problem is that it so dependent on the players you get (assuming you pub). It's really a crapshoot; sometimes there are great games and others are a total waste of time.

    CSS, BF2, DODS, Combat Arms (I have only seen one other person list this. If you haven't tried it you really must, its pretty fun with customizable weapons, ranking system, and best of all FREE!)

    Thanks for the tip on Combat Arms...looks really sweet...dl'ing now

    My favorite FPS hasn't been made yet I believe...
    COD4 is very close, but the lack of offline play possibilty (that is offline bots for MP) is a turn off...
    That's why I play a lot of the UT franchise as well...But I like the "realistic" warfare context (as opposed to scifi)....
    A mix of both would amazing...maybe some of you will tell me that it's GOW2...but where the hell is the PC version???
    if you guys have suggestion, I'dlove to hear them!!!

    So for now,
    1. COD4
    2. UT2004
    3. UT3
    4. BF2

    There is ONLY ONE multiplayer FPS game worth playing:
    Unreal Tournament series.

    COD isn't that bad.
    GOW/BF just meh!
    CS sucks.

    Overall, I was disappointed by UT3. The only reason I still have it installed is because I hope they spice it up with this new patch coming out.

    Does anyone here play the Forgotten Hope 2 mod for Battlefield2 ?

    I would highly suggest this game, its a polished game, probably the finest conversion mod out there. It brings WW2 to your screen. Love it !! (as kevin would say)

    Call of Duty 4 is my least favorite multilayer fps.

    I'd saaay...um...I dunno. The Battlefield series have been fairly good. Counter Strike is probably top dog though.

    My all time favs are Q2 and UT. I LOVED Q2 LMCTF(Loki's Minions Capture the Flag), everything since then is just fluff. Better graphics, but gameplay has never been the same.

    I really fail to see how it's the best. By far the original UT was the best with UT2004 in a close second. But I really fail to see how UT3 lived up to the series' name.

    UT3 is really good. all UT players agree on this.
    the reason UT3 earned a bad reputation is due to its
    stupid UI, server browser, installation etc etc.

    but the gameplay is solid.


    they have fixed most of the things by now.
    Titan pack will bring fixes for all the remaining things
    along with the biggest bonus pack ever.

    Well, obviously this is incorrect, as I do not agree, and I've been playing since the original.

    I just feel it doesn't have the replay value that 2004 and the original had. It just seems to be lacking...something. I'm not really sure what.

    I guess I'd say something along the lines of this: "Much of what made UT2k4 and UT99 so great have been stripped from UT3. If you're a fan of the movement styles of 2k4 then you'll be greatly disappointed as the jump dodge has been removed. Jumping in itself is bad enough because some obsticles just aren't low enough for the character to jump over even with double jump. Fans of both eras will notice that the colors are washed with 100 types of gray and brown. The absense of bright colors (on players and environments) tend to make the game depressing and grundgey. Only a few levels even contain color and even so they're just lights. The game is also drowns in bloom and distance fog. Sure, the bloom and fog give the game more realism, but they also hinder sight when playing the game. At one point a players screen can get so bright (due to power ups coloring the screen) that it makes it even more difficult to see anything."

    I'm really trying to like UT3 but I just can't. It feels so incomplete and stripped. I reinstalled it a few days ago to give it another try and I still can't get used to it. Maybe the new "Titan Pack" with new game modes will make UT3 feel much better.

    But as it stands, UT2K4 is still by far my favourite FPS. With so many mods and options, it still feels fresh after all these years. The main reason why it surpasses the original UT is because of the updates graphics, vehicles, and a whole lot more options and downloadable content available.

    When's this patch? I simply can't play the game because if the ping is over 40ms in any server, there's a huge delay on ALL weapons and driving vehicles that's completely unbearable. Try firing the sniper rifle with 100ms , or even 60ms latency in a UT3 server, you just can't do it because there's a fire delay of twice whatever your latency is which makes the game almost impossible to play online. Along with the fact that most of the servers are located in Europe, I get about 200-240ms in most populated ones and there's practially a half second delay between when you click the mouse and when the gun fires, it's rediculous, NONE of the other UT games had this issue. And playing with bots gets kind of boring, so the whole game fails because of this.

    i also play UT since the first one. i even played Unreal just to taste the predecessor of UT. i'm also a great fan of ut2k4 style movement.

    however, i still think UT3 is the best..it combines better part of both..UT and UT2k4.


    and about DoF/Bloom etc..just use world detail 1, and texture detail 5.

    btw, Titan Pack will have detailed gfx settings like UT2k4 iirc :D

    Favorite of all time: I have to say jedi knight.

    Something about battling it out with lightsabers, and being able to jump 500 feet in the air really took FPS to a new level. It made the stages much more a part of the game, and stratagy was just as important as reflexes and accuracy.

    Currently: Not playing one but the last one I was playing that I liked a lot was CoD4 but it wore off fast. I say the ones that stuck with me the most were BF2, BF2142 and Unreal Tournament 2004
