I'm getting "bored" with my current FPS Call of Duty 2 and am looking for something new. The system I have is up to date so that isn't an issue. I'm looking for something challenging and am open to any genre.
C'mon Arfcommers. Give me a clue!

That should hold you over untill armed assault comes out later next month:

Holy sheeeit! That Armed Assault game looks friggin' awesome!


I haven't had a good FPS since the golden days of CounterStrike.
I miss the good times with that game like you wouldn't believe.

Too bad Armed Assault is a European game only (until next year anyway).

There are lots of good FPS out right now that you might want to check out - Rainbow Six: Vegas, F.E.A.R., and Prey to name a few...

The Rainbow Six series was always more complex than it was fun.

CounterStrike was so simple, and the run n' gun aspect was great.

It was dumb and unrealistic, but with the right server with the right guys, plus the voice comms... you could laugh your ass off non-stop. And I did.

Lot of gamers stateside have purchased the german version of armed assault and patched it with a english patch. If you *really* want arma, you could order it. Plenty of people are playing it stateside and I would be one too if I knew my comp could handle it. Need a demo first.

Demo? Pfffftt. I am downloading the Entire game with the English patch.

I've got ArmA with the english patch (downloaded) and I'm not really digging it.  Feels kinda glitchy or something, all the movement is rough and it just generally feels unpolished.  Some of the weapons like the SAW specifically don't fire right (can't really describe what it's doing...)  I only bothered to play a couple quick missions though.  It still definitely feels alot like OpFlash.  My guess is all the raving OpFlash fans will really like it.  I was not getting graphics anywhere near the level of those screenshots though.  However, they were pretty good and it ran decently on my system (Athlon 64 3500+ OC'd, gig of ram, 7600 GT video card).  I don't know, maybe my expectations were off.  Maybe if I give it more time and more play I'll dig it more.  I think I'll play it some more today.

I played it today... but my system cannot handle it at a level where I would enjoy the experience.

I need a new card first.

Half-Life 2
F.E.A.R.
Far Cry
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
Quake 3

No Reverse Vertical Mouse Axis option = Unplayable at any speed.

If you have an XBOX 360, I highly recommend Rainbow Six - Vegas.

I couldn't enjoy ARMED ASSAULT with my current setup.

3ghz w/ Hyperthreading
Gig of Ram
6600 Overclocked

It ran, but my settings were at:

800x600
draw distance = lowest it could be
no shadows
no anti-ailiasing
everything on low

I was hovering at around 10 - 15 fps I think. I killed two enemy soldiers and then I was done.

where are you downloading this from guys ?   take it to imz if need be

thanks

Quake 3 is pretty mindless fun.

I never could get the hang of the SWAT or Rainbow games, too much work getting the other guys where you need them.

I like to keep my FPS games pretty simple.

<--BIG Serious Sam fan.

Hey Bushmaster where ya gettin it from?  

Anyone playing Company of Heroes?

armed assault demo from file shack

If you want an action packed FPS, F.E.A.R. is a good pic, the single player will freak you out, the multiplayer gets crazy if enough people are in the server.

Definately.

I bought this for my brother for Christmas, and he brought it over to play on my 50" HD TV. Not only is it beautiful, but to me it is the perfect balance of realism and fun. As long as you make decent use of cover you're pretty well safe. You only get killed by doing stupid things like walking out of cover in front of shotgun wielding terrorists at close range...just like you should.

I played a couple of the earlier Rainbow 6 games and was quickly bored. They've got it right with this one though. When you do have a team with you, you just point to where you want them to go similar to Full Spectrum Warrior. It is very simple to pick this game up and start having fun immediately.

I was impressed with the nice selection of weapons as well. My favorite was the FN SCAR-H with an ACOG.

For fun, low strategy, easy to learn game, Half-life 2 is great.  Runs great on older machines, looks great, is pretty cheap now since it has been out awhile, and has a good underlying story line.

For more realistic fps, rainbow six and ghost recon are good.  Like ghost recon advanced warfighter better, the weapon models are a little more realistic, you have a drone you can use for surveillance, each person on your team has a cam so you can see what they are seeing real-time.  The graphics are very demanding though, so you need a decent machine.  

DNF is a dead fish man, FEAR rocks!

I bought FEAR yesterday, it seems like a pretty good game. But it has some glitches, and I cant find the damn updates online.

It says that is version 1.0 retail, and the only update I can find says that it is for 1.07 to 1.08.

Oh, before the question is asked, it isnt my computer.

Probably, the most bang for the buck game that my friends and I have found is the orignal Ghost Recon series. You can get the core game and 2 expansions for under $20 and there is a massive mod community that's still supporting it. After you install some hi-rez textures, the game still looks pretty good and you can't beat the weapon packs.

FEAR is fun and creepy, but kinda easy and a touch repepitive

GRAW isn't as good as the original, and I've had some technical issues with it from the start

BF2 bah!

Rainbow 6 LV is pretty impressive. The originals were quite complex and I quickly lost interest, just wasn't my deal. This new one though, I believe they've got the formula just right. The AI seems to be pretty smart, both for and against you. The squad movement is simple, but it's highly interpretive, so your squadies do what you want. The cover system works really well, becomes second nature quite quickly. Plus, there's a decent amount of environment interaction.

A friend of mines one of the beta guys on ArmA and he's been keeping me filled in on the progress, looks good. I got the demo, and I wasn't bowled over. It looked like a retextured version of OFP, but a bit more streamlined.

There's always OFP(Operation Flashpoint), you can pick that up super cheap and it should keep anyone entertained once you remap all the keys.

One game series that never got the recognition it should have was the Hidden & Dangerous series. The 2nd one can be had for $20 with an expansion pack, and for a WW2 game, it rocks. Player models are quite good, to the point you can shoot peoples helmets off, and the guns out of their hands. Give it a look if you haven't before.
