My X-mas list for games... Options

[M@ster of Dis@ster]

1. Unreal Tournament 3 - has a warfare mode that sounds like a sophisticated version of Base Assult, complete with vehicles!

2. COD4 - to see what the fuss is about

3. Crysis - Enjoyed the ability in Far Cry to be able to go "off the path" and modify your approach and play style...not just run-and-gun constantly. Hopefully, this is the same.


If anyone else gets games 1 and 3, let me know.

Crysis has the potential to be the next generation FPS with their
new engine. But with all stuff new, it requires more HP from your
tired old PC. Still some new features the engine has are still not
implemented in the game correctly. These should be fixed in the
upcoming first patch. The second patch will deal with some added
materical to both SP & MP. The SP side is what the game is mostly
about right now. With a 2 year old PC like mine, the game can be
played with decent FRs but a slight loss of graphics. Using an autoexec
file, the graphics can be better without a FRs loss. Even on fairly low
settings, I get very realistic graphics, better than any FPS game I have
seen to date. Things can only get better with an engine this good.
Modders are already hard at work with new maps and mods to move
Crysis along to achieve new things to keep the interest alive. The MP
side is more like an after-thought and needs much more work to get
it up to the SP side in quality. Some new modes of MP (co-op is one)
would increase the gaming potential by leaps & bounds. This game lends itself to more of a small stealthy American strike force sent
into an action of getting some objective completed by taking out a much
larger force of defenders. Its not a force vs. force type of play like
COD series. Modern day actions, to be realistic, are more of this type of game play than the army vs. army done in WW2. If you want to be
a sniper and get things done stealthy, this is a game for you. For the
run-n-gun gamers who just want to shoot-shoot-shoot and rack up score, then stick to the COD type of gaming.....

BTW, there are just as many hackers (maybe more) on Crysis then there are on COD4
THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ON ALL MULTIPLAYER GAMES IMMEDIATELY !!!!!!!!!
