lol
Right now I'm playing Urban Terror

You could also try Wolfteam
Personally I got bored of the whole "wolf" thing though

GunZ is a third person shooter but it's something different (mass glitching that people call "styles")
You might wanna try that

Don't even go near it


WarRock and Wolfteam was fun I guess, but I don't like the whole "time limit" on guns. I don't play FPS's for a long time. I just log on, kill stuff, log off

So I only use a gun like a few times then it expires

Haha, okayy.

Ive gotten back into FPS's cause the MMORPG selection really sucks.

I DOnt like the timelimit either but I'll just rebuy the guns, I buy the 7 day anyay.

Try out exsteel, it'll keep to occupied for a weekend and their guns dont expire over time, your body parts and guns have durability that needs repairing to keep them instead of expiring over x amount of days.

Edit: its also got pvp or pve(kinda), well pvp is pretty straight forward, deathmatch, team deathmatch, etc... The pve is "Lastmanstanding" which is pretty fun cause you gotta defend capture points from 20-100 comp bots coming at you and you can also attack the comps base and destroy their base but at the same time you gotta prevent your capture points from being taken. Its good nonetheless and i might get back on to see if any new updates came out for it, would like to upgrade from my trooper set.

I think tremulous was terrible. Wolfteam was ok, but couldn't stand lag some days. WaRRock is unplayable in australia.

Sorry let me rephrase

If you're used to fast-paced games like CS, you'll hate Wolfenstein
If you like slower games like America's Army, you will probably like Wolfenstein

America's Army...there you go, there's another suggestion (though personally I didn't like it because I'm more into fast-paced shooters)

Same, Wolfteam in CB was really fun but on OB it randomly lagged, and they changed the weapons so they had time limits (which is gay for casual FPS gamers like me)

Yeah, Tremulous looked really boring to me. shooting little bug things...

Are you talking about the same wolfenstein here?

You can't compare AA with ET lol, if anything ET is just as fast as cs because theres no strategy no one cares about winning they just want the kills and levels. It may seem slow on the bigger maps where everyone is kinda spread apart but "slow" is just the wrong in terms of gameplay. If you are talking about slow in terms of rounds then yeah, a single round in ET can last up to an hour depending on the server you play at but there is respawning.

Oh and don't play ET if you don't have a steady aim, you will get no kills.

Soooo True




BTW do you guys play Wolfenstein: ET the original? or mods? cuz personally I couldn't stand the original

I saw Youtube videos and it looks like they improved the graphics on True Combat: Elite, but I don't like how you have to zoom in every time you wanna kill

Tremulous, enough said. But not really sense apparently you guys think all you do is shoot little bugs.

If you play as an Alien you start out as a Dretch which is yup you guessed it, a little bug. But you can kill humans and get "evolve" points which allow you to turn into better and sometimes stronger aliens. You have to kill the other team to go to the next stage of development which allows you to turn into even stronger aliens and build better structures. Stage one you can turn into a Granger, which is the alien builder, a dretch, which is the starter attack alien, a Basilisk which can grab enemies and they can't move, and Marauder which can wall jump really fast, and a Dragoon which is pretty powerful, it can pounce enemies, bite them for good damage also. Stage 2 you can turn into an Advanced Granger, which can build better structures and can spit some sticky spit stuff that does around 2 damage and causes the enemy to walk really slow, they can also bite enemies. You can also turn into an Advanced Basilisk which can spray a gas attack which is really effective on humans that aren't wearing helmets. Causing there screens to umm, well it makes it really hard to aim. Plus it does around 50 damage if it doesn't get treated with a med kit or a medistation. Also, there's the Advanced Marauder which has an area effect lighting attack, if you hold it long enough it can do 80 damage to an area of anything around you. Stage 3, you can turn into an Advanced Dragoon, they can shoot barbs (aka sniper) which are extremely effective on buildings and unarmored enemies. Last but not least, the all powerful Tyrant. It's big, it's strong, It's a walking tank, and it's actually pretty fast. It can kill unarmored enemies in 1 hit and it tears bases apart. Also, the aliens always have a radar, it shows little red dots for human structures and blue for humans, they show up not on a map but more so in a circle around you screen. It's helpful, but not nearly as helpful as the humans.



Playing as a human, you start out with a assault rifle, (I don't remember exactly what the human stuff is called or what order you get it in, I will do my best tho), or you can start with a construction kit which you can build human structures with. Once you kill some aliens you can buy a very large variety of stuff, I really don't wanna name it cause I don't remember it all but, I will name what I can remember. You can buy a pain saw which is insanely powerful against big monsters, it can shred a Dragoon in around 4 seconds if you keep it on them. Of course, melee is what aliens specialize at. You can also buy the Shotgun, which is also very powerful and has a little range to it. You can buy a Pulse rifle, (I think that's the name) which shoots fast and is a little stronger than the starting weapon. It's extremely accurate. You can buy a Mass Drive, which I always considered a weaker Rail gun that doesn't shoot through walls. Stage 2, you get the Advanced Construction kit which allows you to build better structures. You can buy a Flame Thrower, which is crazy powerful if you can hit something with it, most people consider it a newbie weapon and crazy cheap. It friendly fires like crazy and you kill yourself with it a lot. You can buy a Chain Gun, it's really really fast, not very accurate, it's pretty powerful if you have a group of people spraying with it. You can buy a Laser rifle which is stronger than the Pulse rifle, it shoots red laser which are pretty strong, it can be hard to hit enemies at a range tho cause the lasers travel sorta slow. You can buy a Helmet/radar. Which causes Dretches to not one shot bit your head, (or pretty much, they don't do 96 damage anymore), plus it comes with a radar which is extremely effective, you can see pretty much exactly where aliens are and if they're above or below you. You can buy Grenades also, which can do about 250 damage to a Tyrant, which is more than half there life, assuming they're standing right on it. It can clear an alien base quickly also. You can buy a Jetpack, which allows you to fly (WHOA JETPACKS LET YOU FLY?!!?), it's really helpful cause you can build off the ground and you can fly really high and just shoot aliens and there isn't much they can do unless they have a Dragoon. Pretty sure it unlocks other stuff also, can't remember tho. Stage 3, you can buy the all mighty Lucifer Cannon, it shoots orange/red balls of energy which travel pretty slow, but if you charge the attack and hit something directly it can kill a Tyrant in two shots. It can also shoot rapid fire, it shoots sorta slow but still it's rapid, they're not nearly as strong as the charged shot but it can be effective. You can buy the awesome Battle Suit, which is a full armor mech suit, (pretty much anyways). It allows you to shoot the Chain gun without any recoil, it has really good defense, it can take about 4-5 shots from a Tyrant before dying, assuming they don't get a headshot. Battle Suits can't use jet packs, helmets, or Battery packs. Battery packs give you more ammo for the laser based weapons.

That's all I can think of right now, just play it. It's awesome.

And here's a video that shows the evolution of aliens and some other stuff:

The Tyrant with red eyes is an Advanced Tyrant I'm pretty sure... It's a mod called Trem-X never played it. Thinking about getting it tho.
Also, this is the longest post I've ever made. Sadly, I doubt anyone will read it. Anddddd my 300th post! Woot, good post to celebrate 300 huh.

BattleField Heroes when it comes out google it. but id have to say atm would be wolfteam, gunz, americas army or enemy territory which all have a large player base so finding server wont be an issue.
