For full blown, butter-like graphics, the best you need is a 7800GT. They're like what, less than $200 now? When I built my first system I had only 1 7800GT and I ran it on a 32" LCD. It handled perfectly. No framerate drops.

I just can't stand CS's graphics man. They suck...
yeah i'm going 8800GTX and a SLI MB for my setup, so when i do get a triplehead2go for 3 screens i'll throw in another 8800GTX to keep the frame-rates up because that's a sh*t load of resolution. I'm just getting ready for crysis and some of the other upcomming games.

Also idk how people use joysticks, i can only use them in flight games - i would use a steering wheel for racing but thats about it. I work with a track-ball mouse so i dont have to worry about moving the mouse around anymore (took 2 months to get used to tho)

2142 a dumbed down version??? Flying with a mouse is dumbed down? Check my stats again bro, all I've ever used was a mouse and keyboard. I tried a joystick, just isn't happening for me.
Ok, maybe that came off wrong. What I meant to say is that with BF2 you could install the game jump into a server hop into a jet or a helicopter and have no problems. It took me quite some time to learn how to fly (especially the heli's), to this day I never have mastered it. In BF2142 all I played was the demo, but it seemed like they tryed to make the learning curve easier so they could appeal to more people. Everything seemed to be a lot easier to do. If that just comes from my bf2 experience it might be but it seemed to be an easier game to get into. Too this day I think bf2 is by far the best online game I have ever played.

Battlefield 1942 was real big, I'm sure people still play it. Then came Battlefield vietnam. Not sure on the ratings for that one.


Joint Operations and JO Typhoone Rising are good. Not sure if there's even a server for them any more. Man I loved those too.



I cant believe I forgot about Half-Life series. Cant wait till Episode 2 comes out.
I just had a LAN party where we played BF1942 and the Desert Combat mod exclusively. too many people with lousy PCs.

Is this the geek thread??






Anyway, either CoD or MOH is coming out with the #4 where you are in a modern warfare situation and not in the old WWII. I like the WWII stuff and will get the one coming out next week. (whichever one it is)

If games are geeky then I'm guilty. I'll never stop playing them.


The newest WWII game coming out is Medal of Honer: Airborne. I may actually pay for it.

I agree with CS graphics sucking. again, try CSS... soo much better, i think css (half-life2) originally were the ones to develop rag doll physics too, i could be wrong. CS doesn't stand a chance against CS:S I've played both for a looong time

yeah guess i'm guilty too.. been playing games since i was 5 years old (donald duck adventures on Floppy disk with MS-DOS) so i'll never stop playing games, it's been in my blood. I might grow out of it, but i highly doubt it.

have you guys seen Bio-shock yet? seriously - your looking at the guy that dislikes the commericals of this game to death, but if you ever seen the game-play.. it is actually Fricken awesome.. *sighs* i just need a new rig to handle it tho...
