Has anyone here played "America's Army" or one of the other 1st person shooters out there, like "Ghost Recon"? What is your favorite, and how is it better than the other games currently available?
America's Army is very good, as is Day of Defeat. Operation Flashpoint had amazing potential in multiplayer, but the netcode is so horrible it makes me want to puke just thinking about it.
Ghost Recon is very cool, though I don't play it much.
I love Ghost Recon, Americas Army (although I haven't played it in a LONG time), Operation: Flashpoint Resistance (I like Resistance much better than the normal one), and Medal of Honor.
I loved Ghost Recon although I just downloaded a demo of the upcoming Rainbow Six: Raven Shield, and its f*cken excelent!!! Heaps of weapons and accessories for them aswell! Cant wait till it gets released! Check it out at http://www.raven-shield.com/
BTW, theres something about the weapon sounds in games that determines how fun it is for me. Does anyone else notice this? If the sounds are very realistic and powerfull it really makes the whole feel of the game just so much better! I especially love the 'clink' of a silenced MP5.
I have always liked the Tom Clancy games. The Rainbow Six series is undeniably in a league of its own. But, its about time they did something new with it; Raven Shield looks awesome. The screenshots look INSANE. Ghost Recon was great, kinda continuing the Clancy legacy of being one step ahead of the world. But, I'd say that the new Black Hawk Down game finally looks like a stab in the right direction for Nova Logic. The 1st person view is one of the most realistic I've ever seen. Also, SWAT 3 was definitely a classic. The second CD (which contains actual training footage of some elite teams) is one that I'll be keeping safe. Overall, I think Ghost Recon is the winner.
Yeah SWAT 3 was pretty damn good, just finished it again! I really like the team control in it aswell, after a little while you just know the numbers as second nature and its really comfortable. But I agree Ghost Recon has probably been the best so far. I'm gonna have to do some checking up on Black Hawk Down, see what all the fuss is about
the black hawk down game doesn't look that good. it looks ok. raven shield looks to be much better. games based on movies usually aren't that good. what would make the bhd game better is if it was on xbox and xbox live capable.
i can never get my computer to play games that well and i don't feel like spending more than i already have on it. and shooters don't suck on consoles, ghost recon is good on xbox. besides people always end up cheating in games on computers.
