Well i've got numerous FPS games but nothing seems to keep me addicted.
Gameplay seems to have gone out of the window and the last game i can say i played seriously was Soldier Of Fortune 2.

SOF3 come out and as usual PC gamers were forgotten and it was a complete joke. Does anybody know if there is anything coming out FPS wise that might be worth looking at?

Im getting into driving games because of the lack of decent FPS games at the moment as i just cant find anything that really grips me like SOF2 did i played that game for over 3 years and it never got boring.

And just to clarify this is my current games collection for FPS:

Arma 2
BF:2142
BF:BC2
COD:MW
COD:MW2
COD:WAW
Crysis
Crysis Warhead
Crysis Wars
CS:S
DOD:S
Far Cry 2
Fear
Operation Flashpoint: Dragons Rising
Stalker Clear Skys
Unreal Tournament 3

Whats left to play thats worth playing and its the online MP im interesting in i dont play SP.

Yeah BC2 is ok but your right its frustrating normal servers seem like you need a clip from an assault to kill someone and HC everyones sniping or using LMG's so the team aspect is gone. BF2142 was awesome seemed there was always a mix of classes to even out and play as a Team.
 
Yeah i played TF2 but didnt think much of it but maybe i didnt give it a chance, i'll download it again and have a bit more of a look at it.

And if they could balance BF:BC2 it would be epic but it seems everyone is out for themselves in it at the moment with very little team play, i hate it when im in need of ammo,medic or repairs and those classes run past. When i play a medic i concentrate on reviving and healing people and quickly rise to the top of my team points wise, my KD ratio sucks but judging by the score im doing things correctly. Just wish more people would play it as a team game and they balance the damage a bit.
 
Im veteran 4 on BF and have played:

BF1942
BF:2
BF2142
BF: Heroes
BF:BC (Xbox)
BF:BC2

Maybe its because i used to play in clans and the teamwork was a necessity. Well i hope someone does do a good FPS concentrating on gameplay in the future.
 
gonna try arma a bit more when i get my new graphics too, will definitely try the ace mod you guys are recommending.

I did used to play at a very high level in clanbase and had an opportunity at a national level. But i dont want that now i have a misses and 2 kids that demand more time than i have currently. I do agree though it give another element to the game and also the gameplay due to working as a team.

I think this is what im missing the teamplay side of things.

I still cant find an FPS that had the gameplay of SOF2, SOF2 i could go on alone and you could own a full server with skill, then in competition it was all about strategy and teamwork.

Maybe i should look for a BF2 clan or see if SOF2 is still going but i always find older games loose the support of PB and then its just full of cheaters.

Do you guys think console has seriously affected PC gaming?

This would be my suggestion as well.

If you are a true FPS fan you should be able to handle the difficulty of Quake Live, which is a truly skill-based FPS game, unlike every other game in your list.

Some of those in your list are fun, but they are largely boring affairs. I will certainly be playing Crysis 2 when it comes out though.

Yeah thats what my games are missing i believe SOF2 was a slightly slower version on quake and needed speed and aim to be any good at it which i had.
I think im gonna try quake live now.

I tried TF2...got bored
CS:S.......havent they fixed those hitboxes yet!

COD:MW/MW2 come close to the feel i like but its not as quick as what SOF2 was

Arma 2 i will try with the ACE mod but seems a slow tactical game but might be a nice change.

Failing that lot i'll install SOF2 if anybody up for a game?
 
didnt realise quake live was basically quake 2....love that game still play it now :D and even better now theres loads of people on it :D

Never, ever, compare Quake to SoF again, please. Quake (World or Live) is the purist and most skilful deathmatch experience there is. SoF was good fun, but it was nowhere near it in any respect.

Nothing beats a Quake duel for 1v1 intensity and personal skill.

How can you say that when SOF2 used the quake engine just slowed down :confused: SOF2 was quick compared to todays standard but i agree not as quick as quake itself although with admin you could speed it up :)

Has anyone seen singularity? its out soon and Raven our the developer...might be worth a look.

i played bf2 competitivly on clanbase but at that point i didnt know any other leagues

No dubbs it isnt now but back then CB was the place to be, seems to have lost its way a bit but back when SOF2 was first out it was home to a lot of National players in SOF2 anyways.

I loved sof2 as well. PLayed it a bit again last year, shame there was not a widescreen patch, I would have played it more.

I miss M.A.K clan :(

I remember M.A.K they came quite late on i believe i was there when its was Apoc, CK, izi, Voltz, RiZe, Dogs....sod it im installing it now but im guessing its just full of hackers now :(
 
Well i have started playing SOF2 again and its awesome and managed a 76-2 KD ratio the other night which was nice :)

but with the 360 getting all the attention from the developers im going to order a Xim3 onces its available. Basically its a device that allows you to use keyboard and mouse on the 360......I hate controllers they are so cumbersome compared to a controller for me.

If anyone else would like to have a look at the Xiim3 progress take a look here:

http://xim360.com/community/index.php?topic=3819.0

Looks promising check out the bird snipe demonstration to see how accurate ObsIV has managed to get Xim3 to translate the mouse movements now :)
 
Looks good but its on the source engine which too me just doesn't feel great i never got into CS/CS:S because of the hitboxes compared to the quake 3 engine which was awesome hit detection.
