for that list, HL2. for real, system shock 2.
half life was TOTALLY the same basic shooter shit you did in duke nukem or doom, but i think why so many (like me) think its so great is that it polishes that basic gameplay to PERFECTION, unlike modern shooters that just slap some iron-sights on everything and call it a day.

TF2 should probably be up there...

Well, I can see why you put the games you did on that list, but there's many better games. I personally believed I had the most fun with CoD 2. But that was mainly because my friends and I would come up with wacky things to do in split screen (cross map nade catching contests, awesome) But right now I'm having an unnatural amount of fun playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl, granted I modded the fuck out of it first with SmP and now with Oblivion Lost 2010, but it's a bunch of fun. And then there's the obligated Day of Defeat: Source because that's a whole lot of fun, but it's only multiplayer, so the fun is dependent on who you play it with.
I'm sorry but it has to be Call of Duty: MW2. There's a reason that series is so damn popular.

Yeah I had that relationship with a few bots as well- Gorge being one of them. Malcolm always used to whup my butt too, but with that serious face and super serious beret, I couldn't help but respect the guy. Is it strange though that I felt a bit sad when I found out Lauren died (properly) in the lead up to one of the Championship games?
With Far Cry 2, I also wonder about so many little changes they could have done to fix the flaws, most notably the checkpoint respawns. I used to pretend that they had only just tentatively remanned the outpost before I came barging through wiping them out all over again. That was always fun. I also wish that not only could hang gliders ride the occasional thermal to stay aloft, but we should have been able to climb onto the hills that seperate all the valleys the roads go through. That way we could observe a hostile base right up from the high mountains and plan our assault. I was also a bit disappointed that the big mountain in the north area was off limits. I wanted to get to the top of it and find an easter egg hang glider or something. Oh and why does my car automatically have to be slower than everything else? Oh well. Freaking out base survivors when hiding always gives me a chuckle.
I only played Vengeance once at a LAN where there was some prize up for grabs for who could win a game of Rabbit. I did enjoy skiing quite a lot, but I've always been more of a Battlefield 1942 man. To date I've never seen any other game (not even UT2004) get the balance of vehicles against each other and infantry just right. It was clearly a fluke though, as none of the subsequent Battlefields have come close to balancing it right. (Or even having a similar number of units)

Hehe- I've got COD2 on lend from a friend and am chipping away at it these days. I really loved one part in the desert where you look up at a distant sand dune and see a whole wave of Germans running towards your settlement, and you've only got your bolt-action handy...Casimir_Effect said:

That's some damn good taste in games you have there.bussinrounds said:
Oh well. The only one I'd even really call my favourite isn't even up there. It's TS:FP. Fucking. Epic.
