Need help deciding

Post by dragonfly »

I need help deciding something...i wanna be real good at shooting games and i'm dedicated to hell and since i've only played 1 game that has a very small amount of people for my 1.5 years of online playing what games should i play besides quake 3/wolfenstein? i definatly wont get into cs source...3/4ths of that game is aimbots. I wont try halo nor ut series. I'm dead serious about getting good...i've had very few games where i play like a god :( anything else i'm game for...i'll probably be trying those target practise mini games to help. I'm sure i can get pretty far, after all my first 3 days of q3 demo i owned and first day of the full game i owned.

My specs incase you wanna know

3ghz
1 gig RAM
6800 gt vid card
mx510 mouse with no mouse pad (i don't find a difference)

CS:Source is not 3/4 aimbots..

Go play on a real server, something tahts not a pub filled with random noobs..

and buy a proper mousepad..

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

if skill is what you are looking for, then look no further than quake.

It is leagues above the other games in terms of motor-visual skill and interactive combat.

Tribes, Tribes 2, Tribes V, all fucking own.. problem is, theres a lack of real servers anymore with human players.. i bought TV day of release, and lets just say that the community, is small as hell, thus ive retired tribes totally..

but shit yeah, if you ever wanna get down on some tribes 2, we can find a server and fuck around

honestly q3 is still the best mp fps game imo

if you can play osp, look into it. it's highly configurable and you'll find stiff competition everywhere

p.s. osp mod for q3 = http://www.orangesmoothie.org

Sometimes the in-game server browser doesn't load every server, and even when it attempts to, it can take ages to load.....

Have you got The All-Seeing Eye yet?

It's a server browser for just about every multiplayer FPS game there is...

A more recent game with similar gameplay style to Q3 is Painkiller. You might wanna try that one out.

twitch? You have a very narrow view of quake if you think it's all about twitch.

You should watch some of the smooth low sens players if you think hardcore skill involves caffeine-like twitching.

There is an incredible amount of finesse possible in quake.

The movement alone is a very deep skill that takes years to master (being able to move smoothly and efficiently)

Just come to that server often, OK people play there, as well as I sometimes do.

I actually started playing that when it was just released. But i stopped because of the strong chaingun, fake strafejumping and the lack of popularity. Now it has been chosen for cpl :icon32:

Vo0, a guy i use to practice with, has won near 60k $ with it. Total, that is.

I was playing too for a while, but I got bored of it pretty fast...I didn't like the movement all that much...though a lot of people loved it.
