Uneal Tournament 2003 - geoboy - 2nd July 2003
edit: freakin' typos.
I've never really been into PC games (mainly because my previous computer became constipated when playing something as simple as solitaire), but a few months ago I finished building my new computer and it now can actually play the latest games. Yay! Anyway, here are my new compy's specs if you're interested:
<Geek Speak>
Processor: AMD Athlon XP 2200
RAM: 512MB PC2700 DDR
Hard Drive: 120GB 7200RPM 8MB cache
Motherboard: Asus A7N8X Deluxe (with built in USB2.0 and firewire and 2 LAN ports! whoo!)
Graphics Card: GeForce 4 Ti4200 (64MB)
You'll notice I didn't go all out on the graphics card. That's because it's just there to tide me over 'til Doom III. I predict there'll be some huge deals on graphics cards around that time. I also plan to upgrade my RAM and add another 512MB stick to take advantage of the dual channel memory and to have a total of 1GB of memory! Mwa ha ha ha! (I do video editing and photoshop stuff so a lot of RAM really pays off)
</Geek Speak>
So anyway, I picked up UT2003 yesterday and I've never realized how first-person shooters and the PC were just meant to be together. A whole new gaming platform has been opened up to me and I feel somewhat giddy. <insert girlish squeal here>
So anybody play UT2003 regularly or occasionally? Have any tips, tricks, or fun insight? Wanna recommend some other great PC games? Am I asking too many questions? Do you want me to stop?
*thwapped*
Alright, I'm finished.

Get Battlefield 1942 ASAP! The most fun you'll ever have with a FPS.
Uneal Tournament 2003 - A Black Falcon - 2nd July 2003
FPS multiplayer gets boring fast, PC or console. :p
Uneal Tournament 2003 - OB1 - 2nd July 2003
This coming from the guy who likes those mindless top-down shooters.
Uneal Tournament 2003 - A Black Falcon - 3rd July 2003
And just like topdown shooters, FPSes are fun to play through once in single player... but online? No, that gets boring quick.
Uneal Tournament 2003 - OB1 - 4th July 2003
Wha? What in the hell are you talking about?? FPS are mostly fun online, you weirdo!
Uneal Tournament 2003 - CartoonDevil - 4th July 2003
Yeah, I have UT2K3. It rocks. I'll play you sometime, if you're up to getting your butt kicked. It'll probably take me at least a week to get done playing Frozen Throne exclusively, but we'll play then.
Uneal Tournament 2003 - A Black Falcon - 4th July 2003
While I've found a little bit of fun from online shooters, it is so repetitive and dull... you do the same things over and over... not interesting at all. There are a few shooters I have played online, and while they were mostly okay its not something I'd actually pay to get... the single player is the main focus of the FPS. I might play a few hours of multiplayer but its really not all that great... they just don't interest me very much in multiplay.

You perplex me more and more by each passing day. You like Voyager but not TNG, ED more than MP, top-down shooters but not FPS's, you live in Maine but have never tried lobster and you've never eaten a hotdog before. You're weird, Martha!

Who's Martha? I thought ABF was a guy...
My computer is, well was, amazing like that. However, the motherboard shorted out somehow, and now it's being repaired or replaced or whatever the company plans on doing with it. It'll be about a month before it gets back (nuts), but at least the repair is free. Until then, as I've said, I'm using my old machine. It's getting the job done anyway.

ABF is, until he tells us his real name that is.
Didn't we discuss this before?
Uneal Tournament 2003 - OB1 - 10th July 2003
About ten million times!

TNG is good, but not as good as Voyager.
ED was just more fun to play and held my intrest much better than MP. MP is a phenominal game which is really, really great... but it got frusterating and I got a bit tired of it. Which is why I haven't gotten all that far in months in the thing... compared to ED which I beat (once).
As for why MP is frusterating (not in this thread but oh well), what I meant was the save system. SAVE POINTS ARE EVIL!
Well when there are hard challenges between them they are. And when it doesn't save the state of the gameworld...
If you must have savepoints make it like Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance and make enemies you kill DEAD FOREVER! And put savepoints ALL OVER THE PLACE!
