FPS Recommendations?
« on: December 05, 2003, 11:22:08 AM »
My editor wants to buy a brother in law a good first person shooter for a PC.

Just got his computer like 4 months ago so it should be rather up to date on hardware.

Any suggestions?

I mentioned Ultimate Tourny to him...  I\'ll recommend the others as well.

Call of Duty is pretty good although a little on the short side

IT\'s just a basic gift.  Not really sure.  He was just thinking of a doom type of FPS.

Call of Duty seems good.

Cant go wrong with Half-Life. The game itself is so old no one really plays it to my knowledge- but its mods are amazing (Day Of Defeat, Counterstrike, etc.)

Unreal Tournament 2003 also seems good, I havent picked it up- due to my extreme laziness.

Unfortunately I can\'t remember the last time I played a good sci fi FPS since Halo.  If he hasn\'t played it yet he\'ll enjoy it.

Yes, a good question would be if he\'s looking for online play or not. From the looks of it, he isn\'t very experienced so this is a question mark. Soulgrind listed most of the good stuff, but if the guy is ready for competition.. Quake III would be an obvious (and cheap) choice. It\'s easily the best pure deathmatch-based multiplayer FPS I\'ve played.

(games such as BF1942 and RTCW are teamplay-based)

I tried the Call of Duty demo and felt it to be rather polished, an excellent choice for single-player. Of course, if he hasn\'t played Half-Life.. that\'d be a good place to start for anybody. Great level design, great multiplayer.

Half-Life is hardly the gift for 2003 though... I mean, it\'s what - 6 years old now? :)

Let it die and buy some current stuff instead.

PS. No need to flame - I know HL is all that and a bag of chips, but come on. This is almost 2004.

Samwise: Not a bad idea I guess, from a certain point of view anyway.

Personally that\'d be one of my picks though, just as I\'d suggest all fans of modern Zelda games (OoT/MM/TWW) to go back and experience the first 3 or 4 Zelda titles. Sometimes the roots are even better than the fruit.
