we need games in the 2nd person

So... a game consisting entirely of cutscenes? SIGN ME UP!

or we could skip the game part and use real people pretending to be characters in a story

Looking forward to Saving Private Ryan 2: Son of Ryan.

Buy or rent based on that?

Buy it if you liked CoD4 online. Otherwise it's a renter.

The PC version seems to be ok. Though I still need to spend some more time on it.

i liked cod4 sp better...

Hey guys how about another WW2 FPS?

Played some sp at a friend's yesterday, and this really looks the business.
It's cod4+, in that they seem to have succesfully optimized an already great engine. Looks better and runs smoother.
Yeah, it's another ww2 shooter, but although that genre seems to have been pretty much milked to death, I don't really mind the setting that much. It's just classic cod shoot em up goodness.
I actually like using the older weaponry. Having something modern like a red dot is nice, but just using aiming down the sight without crosshairs, especially with single shot weapons, has a quality 'organic' feel to it.
I don't like how the developers apparently got complacent about sp duration, though.
They seem to think that since they got away with it with cod4, it doesn't really matter anyway, and that it's purely a prelude to the mp experience.
Maybe they're right, but still...

only fucking no0bs use the red dot in cod4...

Of course, it's (somewhat) based off of the Quake 3 Engine.

/cg_fuckyou...

btw... why doesn't cg_drawfps 1, 2 or 3 not showing up on my shit? whats the story?...

drawfps was disabled in the beta...

and the full version too?...

We're out of good wars to develop games around. Could use new material, maybe get some great adventure conservatives on this.

how about looking into the past for some good material? are guns that crucial in fps? can't they use more primitive weapons and create good gameplay that actually requires skill? different swords, bows and knives...maybe bring to life some theoretical advanced weapons they were developing back in those days.

you want vehicles? throw in there some horses, elephants, even carriages....

all these things can all have diff. strength, speed and effectiveness...in the same way diff. props and weapons balance out gameplay in a modern day fps.

Unfortunately all the good developers are too scared to try something new and cool

Are guns important in a first person shooter...?

I think so, yes.
