>>322063928
it was pretty good. I complete more than a half of the game running and obliterating shit with dual rifles. Fun
>>322063928
its a fun game but
>best single player shooter ive played since halo 1
my favorite shooter is the one where you stick a gun in your mouth and shoot yourself
>>322063928
S'okay. Fast enough. Not quite as good as RTCW, which is probably why I prefer the Rise of the Triads and Shadow Warrior remakes over it.
>since Halo 1
Halo has always been hyper-slow bullshit, fuck yourself.

>>322066189
Oh hush. Halo:CE had fantastic and at the time unique flow to its combat. Finishing the game on Legendary was a feat, even on the PC version.
Halo was the first time I ever felt like the internet tricked me, by telling me how bad it was, finally getting the opportunity to play it myself with low expectations, and realizing how great of a game it actually was.
>>322063928
I thought it was kinda shitty, maybe a step above Call of Duty. I've just learned to accept that single player shooters are a lost art.
>>322066921
i dont care if halo ce was good or not, fact is that youre trying to imply that between the years of 2001 and 2014, there was not a single better fps than halo until wolfenstein tno
you are wrong

>>322066921
>Halo was the first time I ever felt like the internet tricked me.
Second time, actually, come to think of it. The first was the triforce hunt in Zelda 64. Presumably I didn't learn my lesson.
>>322066921
>and at the time unique flow
They took Quake and slowed it down to a fucking crawl and called it GOTY. Fuck yourself.
It was kind of shit.

I'm not the OP you idiot. Calm your tits.
Though in his defense, if you're asking me, the list of truly great traditional FPS's released in that timeframe is pretty short.
- Halo 2 and 3
- Call of Duty 4
- Team Fortress 2
- Not Doom 3
- Not Half Life 2
>>322068225
consider suicide
>>322067620
No, fuck YOU. Not every FPS game needs to be a hyper-fast bloodbath.
And I don't get why people hold Quake up on some pedestal. I spent many sleepless nights playing NetQuake and Quakeworld online, but looking back it was the novelty of playing a video game online was what hooked me, Quake FFA was fucking garbage, and the skill floor for duel and TDM was so steep that only autists could keep up. Doom was a superior game in pretty much every aspect.
>>322068851
Ok list some better fps you contrarian piece of shit, jesus christ.
I just played it for the first time, too. I loved it.

This nigger.
Wolf was bretty gud but 13 years and nothing you liked in-between?
You need to stop buying only one game a year, brah.
>>322069080
Doom went to shit after the the Mars campaign, Apogee games had the better 2.5D shooters. But I do agree that 2.5D shooters are better than 3D shooters.
The modern FPS is not fun. You talk of the novelty of Quake as if this modern, Halo/COD/Medal of Honour bullshit fest of slowly drifting across the stage lining up your crosshairs doesn't wear out its novelty faster than the trousers of a fat man at an underground rave. They took the most fun genre of them all and slowed it down to a fucking crawl in the name of realism and appealing to kids.
How these boring fucking games got so incredibly popular is beyond me. Don't expect me to condone your taste, I consider you part of the problem.
I got bored and quit 15 mins in.
Whats so good about it?
>>322068851
Doom 3 was a mediocre horror game backed by mediocre shooting mechanics. Half Life 2 relied way too much on gimmicks and had too little actual gunplay. Both games were vastly inferior to their predecessors, which both came out before 2001.
Also, there were also a bunch of highly-rated WW2 FPS games in the first half of that time frame too I guess, but I hated WW2 so I never could get into them.
What else. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a fucking fantastic game, but more of an FPS/RPG hybrid, so I didn't consider it in the same category. Portal 1 and 2 were similarly disqualified for being puzzle games, fantastic as they were.

Rose colored glasses.
Knee Deep in the Dead was a fantastic set of nine levels, but most people forget how many bad levels there were in Shores of Hell and especially Inferno. Doom 2 was definitely uneven, but it added so many great monsters and the SSG is one of the top five weapons in FPS games ever. Plus Doom 2 is the game everybody mods anyway. Final Doom was no slouch either, the TNT episode was kinda meh, but Plutonia Experiment was even better than Doom 2 and was tough as nails to boot.
Blake Stone...the less said about that game the better.
I remembered Rise of the Triad being fun as hell at the time, but coming back to the game years later reveals some serious issues - tons of hitscanners, not enough health in general, lots of shoddy level design and reliance on gimmicks (half the levels seem like the mappers got bored in TED and tried making some cool looking shape), unfun weapon balance (lots of fun weapons, but you only get a few shots of them before you get stuck with the sucky SMG), terrible bosses. Game still oozes personality though, and the music is still A++ tier, so I'll give it that.

I don't think a fucking MIT think-tank could have designed more sissy feeling, pathetic sounding weapons.
Oh and the whole flashlight OR weapon out felt so fucking pathetically artificial horror/suspense inducing it made me want to vomit.
>>322073118
Yea I instantly got a mod to 'tape a flashlight to all your guns'.
Made the game much more bearable.
I still liked the whole PDA part of the game.
>>322072049
Blood is the greatest FPS of all time.
Followed by Shadow Warrior.
Then Duke 3D.

>>No Quake 4

Sorry, but the good UT came out in 1999.
>>No HL2 Episode 1/2

But honestly, I feel like there's no one who would do it justice.
It'd be like going back and fucking with the original Star Wars movies with CGI and modern effects.
Your intention is to make it better but in doing so fail to capture what made the original so good in the first place.
I own it on GOG and I play it every few months.

At least the math autist killed 11 that day. 7 previously and another 2 before she was gunned down.
She surpassed the minimum requirements of 19 kills each her own model, like a Boss.
Also, Max Hass was SO cash.
I like whichever timeline makes you not get along with the former Nazi guy who treats Max like his son.

>>322074985
>avatar shit
what the fuck are you on about.
another question, why havent you killed yourself yet
>>322074376
You seem to overestimate what a straight source port would actually do to the game. No one needs to do anything other than port it to an enhanced Build engine the same way EDuke32 did it for DN3D, and any CGI allegories would only happen once people started doing mods for it the same way they did it with Duke+ and co.
You can't argue that the game aged 100% perfectly, because at the very least, the mouselook suffers from all the same problems every other Build game faced when it came to perspective and accuracy
>>322075403
By that logic portal is an FPS.
And in terms of categorisation you can see why generalisations like "if you get a gun and its first person then it's a first person shooter" are regarded. For reference, mirrors edge is a first person platformer.
>>322071482
>enemies can take more damage on higher difficulty :'(

I caught it at the tail end of its dying breath.
Had a fuckload of fun with it, I was MVPing most matches after a couple of rounds. Gameplay was very methodical and very tenuous, you didnt want to push too hard and make yourself vulnerable but you wanted to keep your enemy close enough to finish them off and prevent escape.
There wasnt a lot of weapon variety, the same ones would frequently show up on lots of different mechs. The chassis and their special ability tended to provide the diversity and it had a very big impact on how you had to play.
Sadly, even with consolidated servers and new ownership, Hawken is down to a handful of players.
Its free to download tho, if you dont mind sparse servers and long MM times give it a look.
I'll always remember it fondly, just dont ask for the meme consensus on /v/ which is usually "the devs promised 20 vs 20 global domination campaigns and 50 button minimum hardcore simulation, glad its fucking dead"
>>322080431

>>322082223
Steel Battalion? Wanted that game so badly as a kid. When I heard there was a dedicated button for wipers (and you would need to know it too) my autistic Uziel-fetishizing ass was smitten with the idea.
But now as an adult it looks to be $150 for 6 hours of entertainment, which is a damn shame because Id love to see another dev go out on a limb and attempt to make mechsims srs bzns again.
TNO is pretty neat. You kill Nazis in it. You kill Nazis in WWII, the 60s, underwater, and on the moon. There's also robot nazis. And you beat them with golden Jewish WMDs.
About all I can ask for in a Wolfenstein game.
