Purchased some games - should be fun...

Been spanking the CC again, just ordered some home entertainment for my new PC...

Seeing as I purchased a 8800GTS thought I'd get some games, don't think the ones I've selected will show it off to the full but these are games I've missed out on in the past few years..

Call of Duty 2 - GOTY
Company of Heros
Toca Race Driver 3
Rome Total War
Medieval total war

I like war games and racing games so these were the ones that took my fancy, Supreme Commander and the C & G games didn't do it for me...

Liked the look of Crysis, but not out yet. Already got Far Cry, which BTW without patching up looks very poor on a 8800GTS... Half Life 2 with all the settings looked good though, and flew...

BF2 is brilliant IMO, sure it has it's issues and a fair few vocal critic's, but it is by far and away the best fun I have had on the PC

Make sure you play on a decent server / with a decent group of teamplayers.

Yep. If you're a sniper you do need to adjust the accuracy down as it jumps like 10 pixels at a time at default. I set it to 0.50 and it's perfect for headshots. Only problem is when i want to change roles, it's way too slow. And i was in the Cobra earlier and the pilot was diving like crazy, and doing spins to dodge rockets. He said he has a normal mouse. I've got a diamondback and i can't do that, even at max sensitivity!

Agreed.

I recommend the Uk Warfare server. Excellent stuff!

X a zillion.

BF2 in my opinion is the best online game ever released. I've played over 1600 hours of it and still play it daily. 64 man Infantry only servers are my gaming heaven.

What, one that's actually admined? It doesn't have the stupid "you can rape uncaps if you have all flags" rule does it?

No - rules are:

* Artillery is allowed ANYWHERE on the map. (including Uncappables)
* No Base Raping on uncappable flags
* Only Spec Ops are allowed in uncappables to destroy commanders toys only.
* No flying commanders (gunner commanders in choppers are permitted)
* No stealing Vehicles or Jets/Choppers from enemy bases/c4 uncappable vehicles.
* No Strafing enemy runways or planes as they take off, let them get airborne to fight it out, if you cant dogfight you shouldnt be flying.
* Racist or offensive language will not be tolerated. Racist remarks will warrant an instant ban.
* Using hacks,aimbots or glitches in the battlefield engine will warrant an instant kick/ban
* Destroying vehicles to prevent other team members accessing them first is an instant kickable offence.
* Please join squads as this is how BF2 was designed to be played.

If someone is breaking the rules, let anyone with the q0_0p tags know and they'll get three warnings, with a kick on the third.
