    Default What is a good Fun/Free MMOFPS for a DAD

    what's up guys...I've been researching trying to find a good fps and I can't seem to decide...now I don't have the time to sit down and play anything for hours on end.....I'm just looking for something that is simple and fun without complicated controls.....something that is fun and eventful for a couple hours at a time at most...

    So far I've downloaded Wolfteam and its not too bad...but gets kinda boring after a while.....It seems that American Army is getting alot of hype, but for some reason I'm still draw to Combat Arms...

    Now i'm not a nit-picker when it comes to graphics, so the most minute graphic differences won't bother me....

    Here are a list of 3 that I have been considering

    Combat Arms
    Wolfenstein Enemy Territory
    American Army

    My dad liked BF1942, he just wanted to play it with the controller though.

    does it have to be free?
    Portal is pretty cool, isnt really a FPS its more of a puzzle game, still very cool. its retail though

    team fortress 2 is very fun, you dont really have to play it for hours but, its VERY addicting Retail.

    Americas Army is OK, i never really got into it, somthing about the same 3 guns in 3 diffrent classes kinda put me off....

    Combat arms is pretty cool, it has alot of little kids on it that complain every time you kill them.

    Wolfenstine is pretty cool, never really played it that much.

    i would go out and buy TF2, its only like 20 bucks up here in canada.

    There's no single player mode, just multiplayer.

    I say go for Wolfenstein too, it's a great game if you find a server you like. Also, there's plenty of mods for it, which can also be a problem as you have to download the server's required mods.

    don't really know anything about choosing the right servers...I'm completely new to online gaming..?

    just never really had time to start playing online until now...especially since I have a good puter....

    I guess I'm gonna give wolfenstein a go and download....I guess I can always uninstall if it's not to my liking....

    where should I download it at..?

    yeah there is a very good single player mode to wolfenstien but you have to pay for it. its called "return to castle wolfenstein" and its actually very good. enemy territory was made a little later

    if your looking for a good fps for dads, mine enjoyed deus ex invisible war alot, its single player but still good imo

    CounterStrike:Source a bunch of adults play. Most of the free games like combat arms and wolfteam or filled with little kids that think gun n run is fun.

    Combat Arms- Run and gun (not that hard to learn)
    Wolfenstein Enemy Territory- Tatics or Run and gun (staying still as a flamethrower usually doesnt work) (theirs a curve to the game)
    American Army- Tactics (steep curve)

    yeah I can tell....these free online fps aren't gonna cut it...lol...too much runnin and gunnin......it's bascially just whoever can operate their keyboard the fastest...lol...no real strategy involved....

    I'm having to download americas army again....something happened where I was missing a file or something, so I'm now downloading from file shack.....

    This will be my last attempt at the free fps....then it will be the orange box

    if you want a really cool FPS, one of the best CoD4 takes the cake, and you really can just jump in and play for a short amount of time, but its like 40-50 bucks I think

    If you buy COD4 youll really wonder why its 40-50 bucks, not that its a bad game or anything, i love the game, its just VERY short i beat it on the Hardest in 5 hours.

    TRY:
    STALKER
    Rainbow 6 vegas 1 and 2
    Portal
    CRYSIS
    FEAR
    DOOM3
    Farcry
    Planet side
    Time shift
    Left 4 dead (after it comes out )
    Project im going in 1 and 2

    look through this Site for some good games www.gameogre.com

    Not just TF2 but some cool multiplayer mods for Half Life 2. If you like realism, Insurgency is a good HL2 mod. Easy to play for a small amount of time.
