 My Gaming Career

I thought I would list out what all games I have played. I have tried many. As you can see, I like "First Person Shooter" (FPS) games.

Ones that aren't in this list are F19 and Warcraft.

This is a list, not by release date, but by the order (i can remember) of playing them.

Comments on what I thought of each.

Currently playing BF2, but still really like COD/UO online.

 

Title	started playing	released	comments
Wolfenstein 3D		May-92	played for hours
Spear of Destiny		Sep-92	after defeating Wolf3D, was looking for replacement, couldn’t beat Wolf3D graphics werent as good
Doom		Dec-93	finished it like 2-3times
Descent		1995	wasn't really a person, it was spaceshipy, didn’t play long
Doom II		Oct-94	finished a few times
Rise of the Triad (ROTT)		Dec-94	cool game, Wolf-like but better graphics, and modem play was awesome (1st multi-player for me)
Duke Nukem		Jan-96	don't know how many times played through
Redneck Rampage		Apr-97	DukeNukem-ish, very funny game…you have to rescue bubba
Quake		Jul-96	played a little but really never got into it, the weapons weren't realistic come-on a nail gun
Half-Life		Nov-98	awesome
Half-Life Counter Strike		Jun-99	didn’t play much, like regular HL better
Half-Life 2	Dec-04	Nov-04	played through once, was already into COD so futuristic weapons aren't for me
Call of Duty (COD)	Nov-04	Oct-03	awesome - realistic scenarios, good single play, GREAT online play
Call of Duty United Offensive (CODUO)	Nov-04	Sep-04	ditto
Doom 3	May-05	Aug-04	downloaded demo and play it through, wasn’t impressed I guess shooting at "things" not great
Ghost Recon 2 (Tom Clancy)	Jun-05	Nov-04	looking for COD replacement…NOT
Far Cry	Aug-05	Mar-04	cool game, played for a couple weeks…was looking for something new…couldn’t let go of COD online play
Wolfenstein Enemy Territory	Sep-05	May-03	played for like 3 days…too blocky after playing COD's
Call of Duty 2 (COD2)	Oct-05	Oct-05	great single player, map editor not out, multiplayer got boring with same maps, so quit playing
Battlefield 2 (BF2)	Dec-05	present	very realistic, modern day, use all types of vehicles…made for online play and keeps your global stats

BF2 - Battlefield 2

Info

Very cool 1st person shooter game. If you are a Doomer, Duke-Nukemer, Half-Lifer, Call of Dutyer kind of person, then you will like this game. The only thing about it, it is very "team" oriented meaning you can't just get out there and "spray and pray" to get kills.

 

Oh yeah maybe should mention: You must have a good system for this game...if you don't have a somewhat high-end video card and a gig of memory, then don't even buy this game (unless this is your justification to upgrade your system)...I HAD an XP3000, 1gig RAM, Geforce 6600 128m and the thing dogged the sytem after ending most of my system tasks before starting the game, but it was playable...Waiting on that FX60, DDR3, 2ea 7800GTX's to come down...lol

Previous statement a little old...

Finally(May 2006) built a XP64 4000(OC'ed to 2500+mhz), 2gig 433mhz dual channel RAM, 2ea SATAII 16meg cache HD RAID 0 harddrives, eVGA OC'ed Ge7900GT 256meg, X-FI Fata1ity sound, Logitech G5 mouse, Saitek ST290 Pro joystick, Sceptre 20.1" 5ms Widescreen, eDimensions AudioFX FF headset...

Tips and Tricks

modify the shortcut on the desktop

list of commands is "BF2 ?"

description of all command line options http://bf2.fun-o-matic.org/index.php/Command_Line_Options

 

Widescreen tweak

• "C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +restart +widescreen 1 +szx 1920 +szy 1200
  • can set at 16:9 format (like 1280x720)
  • may need to adject FOV located in "defaultvideo.con" file. The default setting is 1.0 assuming thats equal to 100 so if you want 110 you'd set it 1.1 if you want 115 you'd set it to 1.15 so on and so on...

Don't show intro video

Favorite Servers:

I play on these. I started playing the 64 player servers (32vs32), but lately I have been looking for smaller sided servers (high points) like 32 or less playing the full maps b/c the maps last longer and you get more points(kills). Take these names and look them up in www.game-monitor.com

• (-BS-) multiple ones -
• Old Farts of America 
• Head Strong - www.headstrongclan.net
• Battle Brothers
• Dark Legion
• IP: 72.36.222.140 : 16567 "24/7 City Maps StrafeRight.com" - this plays just city maps...no frickin jets that dominate, plays each map twice switching the team sides - http://www.straferight.com
• IP: 72.36.223.165 : 16567 "24/7 Karkand StrafeRight.com" - this plays Karkland...good for getting score/kills up, keeps you on same side and same squad everytime - http://www.straferight.com/
• IP: 216.246.9.44 : 16567 "TruEvil 64 Man Ranked" - good server, plays all maps, but sometimes jets dont give ya a chance - www.truevil.com

COD2 (Call of Duty 2)

Great game for single player, multi-player is ok for a little while.

Have abandoned it after getting tired of the same 6 maps for multi-player. Supposedly the custom map maker is due out sometime 1st quarter of 2006. Now why they release the game before having this is beyond me, it has probably lost alot of loyalty b/c of this.

 

favorite servers:

• =v4v= - not too moded
• ModSquad - great mods

COD & CODUO (Call of Duty and Call of Duty United Offensive)

Awesome game for single player and multi-player. Plenty of maps and moded servers.

 

favorite servers:

• =v4v= - server converted to COD2 - http://www.v4v.us/ - great mods, great admins, great bunch of guys in clan, usually good people hang out there
• ModSquad - "[=ModSquad=]" - http://modsquadclan.com/ - alot of mods (sometimes too much)
• =bb= - "A =BB= Clan Custom Map Server" - http://www.bbclan.us - great weapon mods called "modern weapons", great bunch of guys, usually good guys hanging out on there

 

 

VGA (Video Game Awards)

These are pretty much "console" awards...the good PC games weren't a factor
