FEAR...
I got a friend of mine to get the newest patch, and the "Red-Light Destrict" map for FEAR by RusTus...
Since he's a fan of old classic games (Apogee/3DR being among them) he had to get it...

This game is SO much more fun to play with people you know, so i can't wait to fight him... I might even fight him today...

Well if you are ever up for a game, just ask.

picked up a copy of Midway Arcade Treasures for psp. Because I'm a Mortal

El Matador



I didn't enjoy playing it (uninstalled before I finished it). I don't know if it's the quality of this game, or just me getting tired of these games. I suspect it's the game's fault, though. But the environmental destruction is great! I can't even run this game smoothly anymore due to physics innovations you don't notice the difference in with physics from earlier games, like Half-Life 2.

I still need to add people to my buddy list...
But i can't say for sure when i suddenly am in the mood of playing...

Joint Task Force



Not a bad demo but the game isn't my cup of tea really. And the jungle mission is too hard for me The game has a small FOV too, this seems to be a disadvantage with 3D RTS games, I hope C&C3 will have a better FOV.

You know the game has adaptive difficulty right? You suck so much the game let you play for so long

You're better than "I cheated muhaha"!

Most recently I played the Thief demo, and I just remembered it uses the System Shock 2 engine when my system locked up

The stupid part is that you can edit the INI with the scores in it Although if you post the end screen stating your score (like I did) you know its genuine.

I really love the background music, reminds me of Beyond Good & Evil and Myst 3: Exile

Thief 3: Deadly Shadows [demo]



Very good game. I'll look into this series if I find a way to get the first game running. Has to be possible, since there are fixes out there for System Shock 2.
Positive: It's Splinter Cell in first person (making it more immersive and gives me a better view when backed to walls) with a medieval sausage on top of that!
Negative: Subtitles lag behind... a lot! And voice actors have true American accent. Also, stealth and searching for something doesn't go together for me. I don't like sneaking past guards again and again and again until I have found my objective (or even worse, get my "at least 40% loot" or something), so I end up killing them.
By the way, if you look at my screenshots, do you also think the game runs in 16bit color mode?

[Cerberus_e]

Command & Conquer.

I used a tank to make a gap in the concrete wall around the enemy base. Then I attacked one of the tiberium harvesters of the enemy so all enemy tanks go after him. Then I put an engineer in an APC and sneaked inside the base of the enemy, through the gap in the concrete wall I made with that tank, and past the fire of the turrets I got my APC inside. There was no defence once inside the enemy base, as they were all after the unit attacking their tiberium harvester. I could unload my engineer out of the APC and capture their contruction yard. I could even get my APC out again (he's fast enough so doesn't take much damage from turrets, and I kept distance of the obelisk of light). I could now make NOD buildings too, like an airfield, so I could flaming tanks too. Then I built turrets myself and placed them near the captured contruction yard. After a while, the enemy base was full of my turrets (which is their technology even - as I stole their contruction yard and can make NOD buildings), and I destroyed everything then with my turrets I love pulling a trojan horse like this on the enemy.

[Micki!]

God, The AI really doesn't think clearly...
One guy attacking, and they're all after him, insted of just one single tank, which is more than enough...

[Cerberus_e]

It's because it's the harvester. It's vital for their income The AI has no way to know if I plan a large scale attack on their harvester or not, only a human brain can derive that by watching the situation. Computers can't think logically. That, and it's 1995

If you like AVP2, and maybe Multiplayer, then READ THROUGH ALL THIS...
It's really cool actually... Un-explainable cool actually...

To quote myself from 3DR:

Downloading it now, screenshots look awesome.

Yeah, there are 4 kind of predators... And two of each, have thier own sets of vision modes... :cool:

It's the classic form the regular game, and the new ones from the AVP movies...
and every predators have thier own kind of shoulder-cannon...

There's too much to explain actually...

There is only, as i said earlyer, one major flaw, and that is the lack of active servers...
atm there are only 2 up...

PS
make sure to get the (release 2) update for it too...

Me..! said:

Me playing around in AVP2 AJLmod:
---
Here i am a Warrior predator, taking some nice shots:


Standing on the exact same spot, just with heat-vision on...


Again, just as a comparison, standing on the same spot, now with Alien vision... Predators are also vicible in heat vision, unless they are cloaking...


The disc is cool... When you a rookie Predator, you can use alternate fire, to lock on a target...
Warrior predators have a disc also, but can't lock it... It's still a one-hit kill (unless you just chop off an arm, leg, or tail of an alien, becasue they won't die by that... lol) instead, warrior predators can use the disc as a powerfull melee weapon with alternate fire


Me, enjoying the beautyness:

*Contionued, because of image limitation per post*

Me..! said:

Invisible Predator, equipped with a spear (when you move, it's easyer to spot you)


Using a warrior Shoulder-Cannon... as i said, each predator has it's own kind of shoulder cannon...
A "Hunter predator" will have one similar to the movie "Predator 1" (with the same sounds too) a Rookie will have the one from Predator 2 (the yellow glowing one, that sounded all different from the original), and a Warrior will have the one from the AVP movie... Also with the same soundf of it...
Then there is anotehr kind of predator with only 3 weapons, called a "Striker"... This one is just a made up predator, not featured in any movies or anything (i believe) so the Shoulder cannon is VERY different from the otehrs.. i won't explain that here though...
Anyways, "Warrior" shoulder cannon:


Here i am USMC Marine... i have chosen the leader class... Which are the only ones who have a motion tracker... and it has to be activated first... Everytime a weapon is shot by you, it will turn off... It's extremely good to have at hand, as you have it easyer to spot invisible enemies, or Aliens hiding near you... However, they don't have those practical Hand grenades that another class has... (hand grenades replacing flares) This is one of my favorite maps btw...


Me enjoying the looks of the map...


Grenade launcher on Pulserifle... Hold down reload, and press alternate fire, to reload grenades... Very powerfull, and foe can be knocking over (lying down, and must stand up) if they are near the explosion, but not killed by it... (mostly though, they die)

*Contiued*

[Micki!]

Me..! said:

Grenade launcher is so fun to use...


Alternate fire on Rockets will lock on a target on sight... Field of view will decrease though... (note, i didn't perform that action here)


Image night vision... Nice way to illuminate darkness, and predators are a tidbit easyer to spot with this... But the Field of view is decreased... (other humans will light up, so enemy humans are easyer to spot with it)


Heat vision of Rookie Predator:


Again:


*Continued* (i really hope it's ok with all these pics... I apologize beforehand if not...)

Me..! said:

My favorite Spicies, with a new vision mode... This allows you to see dark areas more clearly, and players of ANY kind will illuminate a bright light, so you always can spot them with ease... Turning this vision mode off, will give you standard vision, with the 3 different colors of "Aura" lighting up depending on which spicies you look at:


Tails do not Stun, but are very powerfull, and have a longer range that Claws... However, limbs can be severed on aliens, without them dying by it... And the tail is among these limbs... Once cut off, it's not usable anymore, untill you respawn after dying...


You can bite whenever you want, hold down tail, and press primary fire... and hold it down... and your jaws will open... Mainly used to gain ALOT more health by biting heads, or at least bodies of enemies... Can also works as an instant kill when hitting the heads of enemies...


Love the tail...

I'm done now, but i have a few more pics...

Damn, that was much... I'm happy i got that image shack toolbar today, or i would have had to upload each one of these...

I need to check out the AVP games sometime.

[Micki!]

I wish Monolith would make AVP3 with FEAR's engine...

[Cerberus_e]

Command & Conquer



First screenshot: My base under attack by two tanks, but my two advanced guard towers and my mammoth tank are doing the job (No offence, APC).
Second screenshot: Me as an engineur inside an APC, through a hole in their concrete walls which I penetrated, inside the enemy base I really enjoy that.
Third screenshot: My ion cannon wreaking havoc.

Micki! - I came to the constatation that when I attacked their harvester with a single tank, only 3 soldiers come to me, and as soon as more tanks started attacking it, much more infantry came. As you can see, the AI is smarter than we thought

[Micki!]

Those screenshots bring back good old memories...
I hope C&C3 will be as good as it looks...

And yeah, i really thought he'd send his whole army, for one single attack...
I hated it when i under-estimated my enemies in Starcraft... once i thought, "Hah, gotcha..!" And suddenly, while i'm leaving my units while i care for my base, the enemy suddenly returns all out of nowhere, and fsck me up...

Arrgh, i hate when i make mistakes like that... Grr
