RTS is boring :l Fps is fun.

Blasphemy! What about Starcraft and Warcraft III? And in my opinion, Rise of Nations is total awesomeness as well. And Im sure there are countless others that people find fun. Im down with FPS, but only if it isnt completely realistic or completely unrealistic. For example, CoD4 and Unreal. I suck at 1 shot kills (from any gun...) and I suck at running at 50mph with weapons that should level houses but dont quite level humans. And the health/armor thing is not for me. I want a nice shield to recharge or a single health bar. (and whats with CoD4 on that anyway? Halo-copy much?)

Actually, I like COD4's health system more. All of it regenerates, not just the shield. But, it's still possible to die. I'm addicted to games like Stronghold 2 and AOE 3 though. And Fantasy General. Yay DOS emulators!

CoD4 Ftw... Starcraft... and Warcraft, are boring ;l I tried them many times

You dont get it. There is no shield. CoD4 has a health system that obviously means you are some genetically modified human that can sit in a corner sucking his thumb while bullets pop out of his body and deep cuts seal like ziplock. According to CoD4, you are what The Hulk was supposed to be. You are Wolverine without the claws and internal metal skeleton. And where does this come from? Halo 2, whose system is a repeat of Halo 1 but without the visible health (you actually have health, it is the extra bullet or two you take after the shield pops). Then the other games saw the success and started copying it. You cannot deny it. Before Halo there were always healthpacks or armor or regen stations. Look at the entire CoD series. One and two have healthpacks and more realistic damage (although you still can survive a bit more brutality than your enemy...) In pops Halo, sweeps the world by storm. CoD3, guess what? NO HEALTH BAR. CoD4 and above, no health bar. Most FPS games after that have no health bar. Just a recharge of health by hiding. It worked well in GoW, but mostly because of the cover system. You were supposed to hide. Also, Bungie said that the change in Halo 2 was so that players would spend less time looking for health and more time hiding around so they could come back and fight. Also, people were more likely to run in duels, which made the attacker into a hunter and thus the game was more fun (something to do with primal instincts, probably). The only two FPS games that I have seen that dont use the recharge-type health and are popular are Unreal 3 (or UT2007, as some call it) and Far Cry 2. Fallout does not count as it is more RPG in FPS form. Unreal uses its time and tested health and armor system and Far Cry 2 has to be the most realistic (and gruesomely ballsy) health system ever (it uses partial recharge and the on-the-fly self-repair). The only thing that makes sense in CoD4 is that every weapons headshot seems to be instant kill, except mine. Also, every grenade fired from my rifle is a dud. And my guy usually dosnt notice live grenades he stands on, so when prompted he pulls out another one to throw. Obviously it dosnt work... And the wall-shooting mechanic seems to be absolutely useless. Never had the opportunity or had anyone use it on me.

In BF: Bad Company you have this syringe that has some medicine in it and its kinda nooby (cause its infinite) but very fun too. And you start with it.

[draconic74]

Forgot to mention that one. I actually really like BF:BC. I played the demo and really loved blowing EVERYTHING up and the damage system is quite nice. Plus, although the syringe is infinite, its a bit like Halo except you have to repair the "shield". Much better than CoD4 in my opinion. Especially since you can hold 10 launchable grenades rather than 2. -_-

Lots more stuff to blow up, and Vehicles! Choppers are hard to control, btw...

yeah its like you are in the middle of a freaking explosion

wait....you are....

Wait what? No wait... WHAT?

Chopper as in Helicopter, not big, hovering razorwheel motorcylce. Although those are hard to control too. And lag always prevents me from getting them to work right.

no i was talking about how many explosions there are...

[draconic74]

Yeah. Its amazing that people still shoot you when there is such an arsenal of explosive weapons. Why ever use bullets? Super-compressed air and shrapnel is way better.

[seabeast]

Lol. Explosives. Much fun. I practice going into forge, throwing a coil at them, then shooting it. XD Anyways... Bullets tend to go faster.
