Day of Defeat
I played CS for a long time but once I discovered DoD, I haven’t looked back. It’s fast paced and never boring, that’s for sure. The weapons are fairly authentic too and the fact that you have a stamina meter which prevents jumping around like a drug-crazed bunny makes it all the more fun.
I go by Major Major Major Major in DoD.
Where are we going? And what’s with this handbasket?
I was addicted to CS for ages there. Don’t have time for it anymore, but I still love having a go now and then. I suck at it though

Wow! I didn’t think so many people would respond to this one!
Yes, I played TFC last night and didn’t like the game as much as CS. I like the character options, but the people I was playing with and against had no clue. I even wondered if any of these people had ever played Capture the Flag. Anyway, I think that the whole never-ending game thing needs to be changed, as I think there should be rounds. But that’s just me. TFC definitely has potential, though. I did find a great server last night after posting here with people who actually knew what they were doing and how to play the game, so things are looking up.
Tsunami Surfer,
You mean where do I live? I live in Covington, which I think is about halfway between Atlanta and Augusta, if I’m thinking of the right city. If you’d like to get together to train or something, there’s a link on all of my posts to my e-mail, and you can contact me that way.
leisure suit larry is the man! I have most of the games. I’ve been keeping up with his antics for like 12 years!
The herpes quest (quest for glory) series is good also.

I used to be a HUGE online personality in the TFC community (under a different name though), but then my computer broke (now I have to use my moms IMac ) and I have been on very rarely. If you want some good servers to play TFC on E-Mail me 
damn sevenstar i though i was the only guy on this forum who was sad enough to like larry …
Ive finished all his games at least once…
I feel better now..
lol 
what do bin laden and general custer have in common???
They’re both wondering where the fu(k all of those tomahawks are coming from. - donated by mojo
NO WAY
The Most addictive game ever - hands down - Is CHAMPIONSHIP MANAGER.
Maybe some of the Brits here will know it. I doubt any Americans/Canadians care much about soccor, ooops I mean FOOTBALL.
I have never played a game, and only that game, for so long in my life. I’ve been playing it since February.
On CM message boards I always read threads about Guys picking playing CM over hanging out with their girlfriends, or how coaching Brighton to the FA cup is one of their greatest accomplishments in life. Good grief.
I love Unreal Tournament, but I just don’t have fast enough reflexes to keep up with the 12-year-olds that frag me and talk trash (why don’t you say that to my face, you little punk? :mad: )
I would love to get into some of those crazy Half-Life mods. Recently I have been playing Delta Force 2 multiplayer, mostly becasue I bought it cheap ($14). Also because it lets me sit 600+ meters away and be a sharpshooter so I don’t have to run around jumping like a crackhead.
For the past couple of days, I have been one boxing fool, playing Knockout Kings 2001. I beat Butterbean last night in career mode ! Man, he almost took my head off with those haymaker hooks though.

Is that Boxing game good? I’ve looked at it, but it has to have a good career mode for me to get into it - does it?
Can you create your own boxer?
I like the game very much! the gameplay seems a little sluggish at first if you’re used to games like Tekken, SF2, etc., but as soon as you learn the timing/distance involved to throw punches/combos it feels more fluid. Man, defending is tough to learn, though , and counter-punching is the bane of my existence (because my opponents can do it while I still cannot :mad: ). Also, authentic locations (Caesar’s Palace, for example), real referees, and ringside commentary make the game feel pretty cool.
I am a big fan of create-a-character type games, but I have to say this one is a little lacking as far as changing how he/she (there is a women’s boxing career mode as well) looks/acts. The part I like is that you can choose your nickname from a list, and the announcers refer to you by that name. You can also choose your entrance “attitude” and theme music (they have some generic beats and some real songs). The theme I use is “Jaw Gymnastics” by Del tha Funky Homosapien .
Career mode is pretty cool, because you can choose where you train (only three cities, though ) and who your cornermen are, both which affect your stat development. I like the stats they have, too (power, speed, stamina, heart, chin, cuts). Overall, the career mode is pretty involved, but simple and staightforward at the same time. Easy for a boxing beginner like me, but full of treats to make real fans excited (I got a warning from Mills Lane for headbutting Butterbean in a clinch .)
I would recommend you at least rent the game to see if it has enough to keep your interest as far as replay value.
If I could change two things, they would be having a more diverse create-a-character feature, and to add Mike Tyson as a character in the game.

So DF2 multiplayer is good? I haven’t tried it yet but I might have a go soon.

no way these games are more addictive than ultima though.
do you know any one who plays uo. …
maybe you used to …
where’s my beer?
DF2 is fun, but probably not as good as CS or TFC. I like the wide open playing fields because you can move far out and shoot from a distance if you want (I was hitting running targets from 500-600 meters last week. Woo Hoo! ). The good thing is every round fired is a tracer round, so that even though you’re beyond their visual range, you can pinpoint someone’s location if they camp out in one spot and keep shooting (sucks if you’re the shooter, though 
).
It’s got it’s fair share of cheaters though, just like all multiplayer games. I think it would be worth trying out if you can get a copy cheap, but don’t spend too much on it.
Oh well, I always felt that if you are going to camp, you cannot afford to camp in one spot for too long. Gotta keep mobile. Even if I camp in CS I will only stay there for a while, then move on to the next spot.
Sniping is fun - is it as hard in DF2 as it is in CS?
cxxx:::::::::::>
You’re fu(king up my chi
Sniping is far from hard in CS. I’d love it if they sacked-up and got rid of the AWP. They toned it down a bit, but I’m still dying from the occasional toe-wound.
And don’t get me started on deagle sniping. It’s just sick.
Sniping is not easy in CS if your opponents are not stupid. If you add in lag (I play online mostly) it makes it very challenging. If I snipe in CS I prefer to use the scout anyway because of the concealment factor - it is not so obvious to your target that they are being sniped and it is harder for them to tell where you are.
The AWM is a hellish weapon, but is not as bad as it was. At least there is no longer a cross-hair when you are unscoped so using it at close quarters is harder.
I think deagle sniping is fair - it is one hell of a gun from what I am told.
Funny enough, one of my favourite weapons is the MP5 anyway.
cxxx:::::::::::>
You’re fu(king up my chi
I respect guys who use the mp-5. Definitely a skill weapon. Personally I perfer the deagle and the colt over most everything else…I need the extra firepower to compensate for my lack of aim
The scout is fair, as it requires a good solid hit to take a guy down with one shot. The awp (awm) is just silly. I agree taking the cross hair away helped the balance, but I wish they hadn’t done it to the semi-auto sniper rifles. Their cost is so dang high, they need every perk they can muster to justify the price tag.
Love the colt - good balance of power and accuracy. The silencer is also a great bonus. The main reason I like the MP5 is because of its accuracy. Even over distance it is pretty good.
For sheer firepower though, nothing beats the AK. As long as you don’t lose you head and go auto fire it is a great weapon. Fired in bursts it is deadly. Too loud though.
I guess you do pay a lot for the sniper rifles, so you should get some advantage from it. It was pretty bad how the AWM used to be a 1-shot-kill-no-matter-where-you-hit weapon, so I guess now it is a bit better.
I guess in my mind, you can only make the game realistic to a certain point. In real life, whether you take a shot in the leg, body, or head, you cannot continue to run around the way you can in the game :).

I’ve been talking to friend who plays - he is very good and now runs around going for knife kills as it is more of a challenge than shooting people. We were talking about how you should be able to buy better knives so they do more damage (like the kukri maybe?), and maybe even throwing knives for the silent takedown.
What do you reckon?
