Status: offline 		But how many of you play FPS? I mean, some of you might, and if you do, and have UT2k3, here's a good reason to keep it installed on your computer.

Looks really good, should be a release soon, looking to get some nice, Mature folk in the community...and, I dunno, I kinda couldn't think of anywhere better to look for Mature people who're really into WWII than here. :)

Hope this isn't just a complete waste of my time and reputation. :eek: :eek:

This looks great. What do they mean with "Unreal Tournament 2004"?? Is it an expansion from UT2003 or just a handy name for a patch package?

Seeing as UT2K3 uses a souped up version of the original UT engine, a new upgrade might be welcome, especially looking at what Half-life 2 looks like.. :)

Let the freaks come forth!

I played some quake, too. It's an excellent game, though I was a bit too late.

Now I mostly play Day of Defeat.

Status: offline 		Before SP:WaW got me the first time I played ... Counter strike! :eek: ..for like a year, never got involved in any clans though. :(

I started to get involved in the CS forums, irc, etc. and the whole gaming experience started taking so much time I had to quit the whole thing... then I started SP:WaW 1st time (back in year 2000).

I got involved in the forums and pbem and also SP:WaW came so time consuming I had to quit the whole thing... few months passed.

Next FPS was Team Fortress Classic (I really loved the game), I got into clans, irc, practice etc. It was all fun but at that time my second child was born and I decided to quit the whole TFC thing... now it has been five months off TFC and I still feel like going back...

I guess my gaming is just ups and quits... I am trying hard to keep the balance with SP:WaW, it keeps me off all the other games... :)

Looks like fun though. :)

Status: offline 		Well.. I have a lot of online experience with FPS. I played Quake 2, Delta Force (part one), Counterstrike, Day of Defeat and still do occasionally play a sniper match of Ghost Recon. But for most of these games I say 'thank you' at the moment. It's just no longer interesting. Well.. as I mentioned.. unless I can play against walking bushes with guns (GR). Now that was a real thrill for a change.. hey.. did that fern just shoot at me.. *whack* o dear.. it did.. :D I still love that game for it's excellent camouflage that, to a certain extent, REALLY works :cool:

Nah! What you should do is get a job as a game reviewer for one of the PC game mags. Then you could get a new PC and take it, along with the cost of the games as business deductions on your taxes and get paid to play games! Now that's wargamer heaven, IMHO! :D:D

Having done that for a living for almost 6 years, I have to say that you're way off-base about the PC and games being business deductions...

I got my PC from the magazine, and the games were always free samples from the game companies. No business expense to deduct. :D

If I ever get around to picking up GR, I'm gonna download that mod.

Status: offline 		Jim1954: I gave the GR mod a whirl.. MAN.. OK so my Fallschirmjager team (armed with an MP44, FG42s, a K43 sniperriffle and a MG42) got chopped to tiny bits against some tenacious Canadians.. BUT OH WAS IT FUN!

For all you folks out there who own the GR game: 2 thumbs up for this mod!

And now back to SPWAW for my turn against Rob.. [SIZE=1]*takes out the white flag prematurely*[/SIZE]
