You guys should really get the mod 'Tactical Ops' for UT. Its like a 'Counter Strike' thing but for UT. The 'Overlord' level is a blast with more realistic weapons but killing the other players was a tad too easy. A few bursts of automatic fire took them down. Still it was very enjoyable. I played it after watching 'Saving Private Ryan' and I couldn't stop. Makes me feel like playing it again.

Oh stewardess, is this the ego section or non-ego section? Ego section, oh good

I can finish Quake 3 on Nightmare with little difficulty. Still, I think my space bar has been pressed more times than there are people on this earth!

I've always loved FPS games. I just find it exhilarating and I find that the adrenaline rush gives me such a buzz!

A lot of the time, I play games because I just simply enjoy them. Baldur's Gate series has captured me with its immense enjoy-ability. It doesn't give me that same adrenaline rush, but if I want that, then Quake 3 or counterstrike is only a log in away

I've tried - I've also tried CTF'ing with the weapons from Tact.Ops.
My friend got so mad at me because he came running while fireing an assualt rifle ( ) and I just stood still and waited for him - then he came up to me - one shot to the head and he died One shot - one kill - damned he got mad at me - that was fun

The thing that gets me is that some people run around and start to swagger in those games. You walk up behind them, bam dual enforcers to the back of the head, either that or sniper 'em.

I have, being created by Volition it indeed looks very good. You can destroy walls and stuff and hide in then, many vehicles and very realistic damage models. According to some people "the most technically realistic game in creation."

Thanks for explaining. The only FPS I play is Jet Force Gemini. Gotta love blowing up bugs. When I'm angry or in an otherwise bad mood, I tend to play Gundam Wing Endless Duel or Mobile Fighter G Gundam, though back when I had a Sega Genesis, I played Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for that purpose. I play RPGs for the storyline and I like just about any game that's got a good swordfight, such as LoZ:OoT. The main reason I play computer games/video games, whether for swordfight, anger management, storyline, or Puzzle games such as Tetris and Tetris Attack, is to test my already fast reflexes.

The only reason i bring it up is because it is going to have realistic weapons i was reading on the website about them, and if i had a penchant for weapons, then that would be the game for me.......

BTW i know it out on console already and it cheeses me off greatly.
