P.P.S. what are all the kids playing these days? Hopefully not shitty RTS games...

I kind of like playing RTS games because they have some variety in that every game can be slightly different depending on the tactics and units used. FPS are ok sometimes, I like TF2 and some others but I get exhausted running the maps over and over looking for powerups. Maybe its just me but I will take an RTS over an FPS any day of the week.

[ratton]

i like the rts games my self.

what other fps is there beside tf2 that is out that is worth playing?

[AlphaDrake]

l4d, bf2, cod4, ETQW...

QFFT!!!!

[zeroumus]

I actually dont mind L4D, but the game is crippled by 4 player mode at lans, the 4v4 mode seemed to blow, and even if it did not, an 8 player game? just a very restrictive game for lans

[AlphaDrake]

I think the 4v4 is the best part of the game... to each his own I guess. There are still lots of other games.

I found this to be quite fun as well but Zero is right. I like the ability to kill more then just 4 of my fellow lanners in one game!! Hearing the same people complain over and over and over again I mean I might as well be married if I wanted to put up with that all the time!!

tee .... heee .... !!

Don't have BF2.

So I guess I will sign up and play 1942 DC all by myself.

[SCETR]

I'll bring BF2, but I don't like all the extra TSR crap that gets installed with it, at least 2 processes, I will find out if they are necessary.
