The topic is simple, name ur favourite game/s and why it is ur favourite.
I dont want to tie u to name a specific number like "ur top 5,3,1 etc" but i like u to describe why u like the game so much.
I hope to discover some forgotten diamants of gaming,
To make a start:
1. CoD: Modern Warfare (PC): besides its easy going action, it got me back to playing online after i skipped CS because it went shit ( 1.3). It made me appreciate fighting real ppl on a computer again and lead up to joining u guys. Eventhough im far from pro. it offers room to everyone who is able to use a mouse and keyboard, to spent more or less time just having simple fun.
2. No One Lives Forever (PC): probably my all time favourite. A game from the golden age of First-Person-Shooter's (2000). Aside its high-end graphics, it was the first shooter i played, offering so much story and creativity in character and level/mission design. The main character of Cate Archer was unique compared to the stereotypical "kill everything"-FPS characters with her sense of irony and actual personality. The story itself is somewhat between its rolemodels James Bond and Austin Powers, but leads through a broad variety of well designed places with suprising settings. The dialogues, whether in cutscenes or in game, especially the guards "smalltalk" make the whole package just awesome.
3. Perfect Dark (N64): in many things like creativity and character desgin like No One Lives Forever, Perfect Dark features a much darker setting and had a incredibly good 2-4 player multiplayer mode, which made my friends and me let our N64's crash of overheating. It features 40 guns, each with secondary firing mode, useful bots, a coop campaign, a control-system which has made Golden Eye the first good console FPS and huge variety of scenarios.
4. Project Reality: Battlefield 2 (PC): PR is a mod for Battlefield 2 about 8 years in the making. while featuring BF2's main aspects like the combination of infantry, armor and aircrafts, aswell as the squad based infantry gameplay, it takes everything a bit further. It reduces the availability of kits to squad members, makes u more vulnerable, delays the respawn time of vehicles and lots of things making the game hard. But all of that to increase the importance of squads, give u up to 4x4 km maps, make ur weapon do real damage, allow u to build firing bases with anti-tank/air, mortars and give u integrated Mumble support including ingame 3D VOIP. This game can be so rewarding and so cruel from one round to another, u may walk through a map to capture the next flag without seeing enemies for 15min, just to get killed by a chopper attack because one of ur squadmembers wasnt careful enough when he left the woods. But u may also attack the 2x amount of enemies and slay them just because of superior teamwork and tatics. PR features up to 100 players per server while the actual community seems to be less than 2000 players. While 100players sounds a lot, u will see how critical an individual can be because of kit limitations and how simple decisions can turn games. PR has two main gamemodes: AAS, mostly like BF2 Conquest and insurgency, find the enemies weapon caches and destroy them. It suffers from crashes from time to time and the community can be somewhat elitist, but once u got to know the game u can get hours of tension and excitement just from playing in a squad.
So now im curious for ur fav's
