*stand motionless while other side fires at you from point blank range*
*die*
*respawn*
*repeat*

Hey, don't forget the bayonet charge!  You'd get some good old hand-to-hand combat in if you get past the initial random death of the first volley.

Aren't you describing a game of Counterstrike?

[WMCoolmon]

No, that's TacticalOps. Although then it goes like:

"knife???????"
"knife!
"knife"
"knife!!111"
"knifeknifeknifeknifeknife"
"ok meet me at terrorist spawn"
"k"
*They meet at terrorist spawn jumping with knives*
*One guy slices the other*
*The other guy brings out a Parker-Hale and blows the first guy's head off*
"****ER"
"vote 5 lamer"
"vote 5 lamer"
"vote 5 lamer"
"vote 5 lamer"
"vote 5 lamer"

Counterstrike is:

"ok lets rush tunnel"
"k"
"ok"
*Everybody rushes tunnel*
*BLAM!! BLAM!!! BLAM!! POW!!! RATATATATATA BOOM!!!*
*Everyone on both sides is dead, except for a terrorist with the bomb and an AFK CT*
"Bomb has been planted."
*beep...beep....beep*
"omg"
"wtf"
"lol afk"
*guy comes back, starts heading for the bomb; walks through a doorway*
*pow pow pow*
*BOOOOOOOOOM!!!*
"camper!!!11"
"it's a legitimate strategy dumbass!!"

[Turnsky]

Call of duty's more fun.. particularly the russian missions

[Andreas]

Great, yet anoether WW2-shooter I want muskets, dammit!

[Clave]

An American Civil War shooter with muskets, cannons, and Gatling guns might work..

It would also be an excuse for those people that like it to come out with stuff like:

"The South's gonna rise agin!"

"Damn you Johnny Reb!"

"Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"

Etc..

[Ransom]

Death to historical shooters.

Those screenshots look pretty bad anyway.

Except historical Shooters from the Future, of course.

to be terribly honest, i'm pretty nonplussed about the prevelance of war based shooters, i'm eagerly awaiting to get my hands on other, shooters however, none of which are based in WW2, etc

[Gloriano]

There is still 2 WW2 fps games I'am waiting Call of duty 2 and Brothers in arms both are released this year. Bia is released next month and COD 2 is supposed to be launch title for Xbox 360 [Xbox2

but yeah WW2 fps are getting boring I'am jut waiting when  somebody start doing WW1 games.

Not going to comment of DoD: Source but I can't but wonder what do people have against Steam. IMHO it's step to right direction. Maybe far from perfect but step to right direction nevertheless.

Actually there were a few some months ago.  'Gods and Generals' and a few others.  G&G being a movie game, poorly made one at that, and the rest just knock-offs.

And then there's that 'Wanted!' mod for the original HL, though thats more wild-west than civil war...

Triple Ace can tell you one of the reasons it's ****e. Everyone else can tell you the many other reasons.

Well, I have nothing bad to say about Steam and even then, I'm not saying its perfect. I just have the impression that people whine about Steam just because they can. And they have to blame something on problems that'd occur regardless of Steam.

Oh well, each to their own.

I dunno mate. I had to install 35 copies of HL2 and thus Steam in our MSc computer labs and it's caused me no end of problems. Hell a load of school kids turned up yesterday for an hour long lab doing map editting in Hammer and Steam spent the first 45 minutes of the session doing a forced update!

MSc computer labs?  right, **** work, I'm off to do an MSc!*

* PHd, actually.  Well, maybe.

[IPAndrews]

Yes we look after our MSc students here. It's a LAN party every night here.

The reason those screenshots don't look so great is because they haven't updated the textures or models yet, and have only just ported the existing ones over to the Source engine.
