What is your favourite FPS? It can be any computer or console and it would be nice to hear why it's your favourite.
My favourite has to be Farcry :) :) I have played many FPS games on PC and they are certainly getting very good but even some of the latest ones have their problems. I liked Farcry because of the variety in it, a lot of the levels were outdoors so there was a lot of places you could go. Many other FPS are inside or confined in some way with lots of dark areas where things jump out of the dark at you.
The AI for the bots was excellent with enemies working as a team and using smart tactics to attack you. Things like the hang glider and the boats are fun to use as well.
I personally found the gameplay far superior to any other FPS I have played. I finished Farcry once and started again because I like it so much.
At the moment i'm playing Half Life 2 and i'm getting quite bored with it. This might have something to do with the fact that in the 2 months i've had the game, it has automatically downloaded updates 4 TIMES which takes 1 - 2 Hours on my slow Dial-up. The game cannot be played until this is done and you don't get a choice to download later. I am extremely disappointed with this and also some of the gameplay element like the dumb soldiers who are supposed to help but just get in the way.
I could fill up pages with all the problems of Half Life 2 but I have probably have said enough so if you're thinking of buying it... save your money
I also played a demo of Doom 3 and was disappointed with that as well. It appeared to be just another shooter... better graphics..more gory.. but not much better than their last games. I think they should have concentrated more on the gameplay and less on the gory details like blood spraying everywhere and a skeleton falling down when you shoot someone.
Anyway... for those too lazy to read all this, basically it says...
Farcry RULES... it is the king!!:)
Half Life 2... pain in the butt.... waste of money :mad:
Doom 3... boring....... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
