servers that have [CSHP] in their name mean that they are running CSHP(Client-Side Hack Protection), which prevents cheating to an extent, though there is an aimbot that can get past that.

Well, don't expect to see me... I do not get up so early, I usually get on around 3:30pm-9:00pm...depends what mood I'm in and whether I have to do a lot work. I use the name DRT-Devine.(and yes I know its spelled wrong, for a reason)

Ah okay, that makes sense; thanks. :)

LOL I usually am still awake at that time; my gaming hours tend to be between 10PM to 6AM. :D I can be found either as CP5670 or SSC-CP5670.

BTW For "venting agression," I would say that this game (UT) is the way to go due to its insanely fast gameplay pace. ;):D

I've been wondering when someone'll mention that one!!! Wahoo!!!! :p

One of the most impressive things about Serious Sam is the graphics engine. It handles humongous hordes of twitching, jerking and generally salivating monsters alongside shiny, clanking bio-mechs - all on-screen at the same time, and without anything resembling slowdown! Plus it uses OpenGL, which is always good. :D

The other thing is how it deals with up-close textures. Normally the textures'll get all smeary and blurred - not so in the Serious Engine. It adds a sort of grainy effect to the texture when you're up close that makes it look absolutely incredible - I'll try and get a screenie for you all. :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Let's see-
Thief-Nothing like sneaking and sulking, plus listening in on conversations about the Bear Pits, etc. "They don't make bears like they used to..."

System Shock 2-Alas I've only played the demo, I plan to get the full version soon. Very freaky, better then the original.

Deus Ex-One of the best done games I've ever played, perfect blend of all of the elements and has a great feel. Plus being able to take multiple approaches to a problem.

Red Faction-The singleplayer game didn't live up to half of what it could have been, however it's engine is very powerful yet definately underused by Volition. I like this because of the potential it has, if used right.

Wolfenstein-Zombie bashing might not be my thing, but levels like the V2 rocket one hit a soft spot. The right blend of Indiana Jones, and the original Wolfenstein. (I'm talking about the "Nazis, I hate those guys" Dr. Jones, not the cheesy Temple of Doom one)

Tribes 2-Best multiplayer _ever_

STV: Elite Force-Fun, mindless shootfest. I need to get my hands on the expansion set for the Captain Proton(tm) missions ;)

Max Payne-I have to agree with the fact that it's a little too "moody" and full of attitude, bullet time is sweet but sometimes the game is a little too "involved" for my taste :p

HalfLife-I've been spoiled from playing FPS games like the original System Shock and honestly don't agree with how "revolutionary" it was. Elements that led to HL were there all along, it was only a matter of time :p Now the mods done for HL *are* impressive like CounterStrike.

Yeah, but...

...I guess, though, it all comes down to taste. :p

Completely agree with that. :) After playing stuff like SS2 and Unreal, it didn't seem very impressive. The user-made mods for it make up for that though.

Yeah, that's a very neat effect; I think they call it "detail mapping." The only games where I have seen it done are Unreal, UT and Deus Ex (other Unreal-based games probably have it as well); great to hear that another series supports this as well.

Also so in No One Lives Forever. Not that I got a problem with Serious Sam (I've played the first part and that rocks), but just thought I'd mention that.

I can't believe, no one (but me) has yet mentioned NOLF.

A bit of advice: DON'T. I'm sure you've got better to do with your $9, or whatever the expansion costs, than to get one Captain Proton level and a lot of useless crap.

Aside from some new MP modes, Elite Force Expansion pack is no good.

Agreed.
Honestly, I don't like HL that much.

No, really.:nod:
