I don't hack LKR, you just upset because I pwned you with a p90. Stop being such a *****. Besides, it was two on one so that's why you "won."

Judge for yourself. UT04 has a high-quality demo. CS doesn't even have a high-quality game.

So you're saying it's "purely true" that no-one plays UT? I could easily hop on and find ten well-populated servers of any gametype. And you've never even played the game for any real amount of time. You told me so yourself.

Lite_Noxus is just a moron.

UT2k4 is good, but I can't get into it for some reason. CS:S is good, but could be way better. Valve did a terrible job on it, everyone knows that.

I agree, CS is far overrated, the most creative aspect of it is the maps, while everything else (especially gameplay) suffers from a major lack of uniqueness. Valve is like EA in many ways, they charge money for things that should remain free or at least very cheap, such as Garry's Mod and various other mods, and I'm still not happy about how a 7 hour game with almost no replay value (talking about Episode 1) cost $20.
Epic (the UT2004 devs) promote mods and indie game designers, they're basically as much into gaming without limits as most of us are.
Here's some points why UT2004 is so great:
1. The bonus disk has many hours of video teaching how to program in the Unreal engine
2. They release loads of free content (especially maps)
3. It's one of the few modern games that doesn't require the disk to play, meaning LAN parties are easy to set up and run with a single copy
4. It's one of the few games with demo/full cross-compatibility
5. It's one of the few games with a demo that almost doesn't feel like a demo (sort of like Enemy Territory) and has multiplayer replay value close to the full version.

Unfortunately, I'm one of those few sad souls who has yet to try many other FPSes save for CS and TFC, the latter of which I found slightly dizzying. One of my ex-colleagues recommended Battlefield but I've yet to try it out. The last time I went to the LAN shop we ended up playing Dota. Of all the FPSes I've tried (which is still, sadly just 2) I prefer CS. The speed is slightly less headache invoking and I find more manageable. ^^

Despite saying this though, I have to admit I haven't touched CS in months because my DS and other random games have been sucking my soul. XD

i don't like UT it just seems to furtureistic,dont no if i spelled that right, but anyways the only gun thats really real is the sniper rifle all the other guns are just some crazy random things.

[ShadowMarth]

Umm... Assault rifle? Minigun? Those seem relatively real. And besides, they're mostly just the standard FPS weapons with a twist.

Well Idon't know I just dont like it and the only reason why I have it is because it didn't work on my cousin's computer.. I play CS:CZ and Halo a lot more. and the is my 200th post ^-^

There's too many modern and WW2 FPS games, futuristic is a nice change. Unfortunately futuristic is the way many FPS's are going, notably BF2142 (curse EA for ruining the Battlefield series).

[Lite_Noxus]

I hate BF2142 for two reasons, too over the top, I've played it yes I have. And, it just plainly ruins the other two BFs franchise because people are going to, most likely, play BF2142 first and then they aren't going to like it and they are going to think the same of BF1942, and BF2.
