Looking for a new multi-player shooter - Recomendations ?

Loki · 24 Jun 2008 at 11:09

Currently bored playing COD 4. Don't get me wrong I don't think it's a bad game, in fact it is great but its just getting a bit tedious even with the release of the new maps.

So were after a new FPS to play online. More than happy to wait for the new BF2 patch to come out. I was considering getting Frontlines:Fuel of War or maybe Rainbow Six Vegas 2. So for an online shooter, how do these two stack up against BF2 and COD 4 respectively. Any other suggestions, greatly appreciated

what bout the free fear expansion? dont rememer what is called or how good it is as i've not played it. Think its stand alone and free, all u need to do to download it is to reegister i think.

2142.

Another for TF2 here. There are loads of OcUKers playing, and there's even a community server if you're interested.

Counter Strike Source is always worth a shout.

RTCW?

.....I'll get my coat

Is that still a popular game? I never really got into it but wouldn't mind trying it again.

you could always go old school, Unreal Tournament is always great fun.

It is still played by some hardcore fans, V1.0, V1.33 & V1.4 all have servers available. That means 3 different installs though, then there's also the ET freebie that still quite popular a.f.a.i.k.

a lot of RTCW/ET players have moved onto ET Quakewars which can be picked up for about £14.99.

I would say CS:S or TF2, they have both brought me hours of enjoyment.

Arjun806 · 24 Jun 2008 at 17:29

CS:S and TF2 :cool:

Stick with TF2 and convince your friends, But You could try Counter Strike 1.6 or Quake Arena III

actually how much is 2142 with its update is ? should be cheap now

medley · 24 Jun 2008 at 19:39

What about Day of Defeat: Source? Although the game is hardly ever updated these days

Tell your mates to stop being idiots and start playing TF2, its definately the most fun online fps there is, but not the most serious i guess.
