    TF2>All
    In the recent 40 hours that I’ve put into it, I have reached the conclusion that it is more fun than both the MWarfares, Counter Strike(s) and UTs combined.

    I fear it might rival Q3 for my most played Online FPS of all time :3
    Honestly… its so addictive its unreal : / (pun not intended)

    And… my Xbox lives again! Some incredible spell was cast and suddenly 360 replacement requests via internet are possible in my country!
    I’m dying to play Bayonetta and Darksiders, amongst many others :D

    I’ve also been really into League of Legends for the past few months. It’s like a different flavour of DotA!
    Where DotA= Chocolate Ice-cream with chocolate chips LoL= Mint Ice-cream with chocolate chips
    (PS HoN= Chocolate Ice-cream with chocolate chips and annoying bits of Ice )

    Yes, I don’t support HoN as die-hardily (?) as before since my main issues with the game were never resolved.

    Also, the MMO bug is starting to bite me (again) and the itch is incoming!

    I don’t play many games, however, so I can’t really be considered a girl gamer. All I’ve really played is Legend of Zelda and this. Much as I enjoy video games, I just don’t have the time for them.

    I only chose Pikachu because I knew he was an original, and I didn’t want to offend the die-hards with a non-original Pokemon.

    •  
      CommentAuthorPuppet
    • CommentTimeJun 10th 2010
     

    Urban Terror Pros:

    Free.

    Dedicated Servers.

    Runs on Linux, Mac, Windows.

    Don’t need a great computer to play it.

    Maps are free and anybody can make them, meaning you won’t have to pay for a few new maps.

    Has the most of the game modes MW2 has, Bomb Mode (S&D), Team Survivor, CTF, Team Deathmatch, Free for All, Follow the Leader, Capture and Hold.

    (This is just a personal opinion…) But I have never gotten bored of UrT, or frustrated really. It’s always fun for me.

    While there are hacks, they can be easily taken care of (thanks to dedicated servers there are actual Admins and Refs making sure no hacking goes on.)

    Since there are dedicated servers there are servers like Zombie Mode server, Jumps Server, etc.

    It is updated with new patches, modes, guns, maps, etc. every now and then.

    It has Wall Jumping, Ledge Grabbing, Strafe Jumping (MW2 has it too, but it’s harder to do…)

    The weapons and gear are balanced, no 2 shot kill UMP45 Silenced, or Tactical Insertions.

    Spawn Protection, meaning that you can’t get spawn killed over and over. (how long this lasts can be adjusted by the Admin of the server. It usually only last 1-2 seconds, so there isn’t the “Pain Keller” effect.)

    It has a built in Capture System, so you don’t need to buy a capture card to post games, or videos of hackers.

    This could be counted as a Pro or as a Con, but no Painkiller, Final Stand, no Nukes, no Chopper Gunners, etc.

    UrT has Funstuff, which makes it possible to customize your character with different hair color, gasmasks, hats, beards, horns, etc.

    I personally think UrT has a better selection of Equipment, Medkit, Laser Sight, Silencer, Tac Goggles, Kevlar Helmet, Kevlar Vest, Extra Ammo,

    NO COMMANDO

    No noob tubes

    UrT is a lot more custimizable, you can change the crosshair types, crosshair size, Tac Goggle Color, controls, radar, etc.

    Just all around doesn’t have as many glitches or hacks as UrT does.

    UrT Cons:

    Graphics aren’t as good.

    Doesn’t have as large a selection of weapons as MW2 has. UrT only has G36, UMP, MP5, H&K Grenade Launcher, LR 300, AK103, M4A1, Negev, PSG-1, SR-8, Smoke Nades, High Explosive Grenades, Beretta, Desert Eagle and SPAS-12. While MW2 has more then I can remember. (Though in version 4.2 of UrT they will be adding the Mini Uzi, the 44 Magnum, the Glock 17, the P90, M1014, Flash Nades,

    Weapons can’t zoom in, except for the G36, PSG-1 and SR-8. (Although this doesn’t hinder the game in any way either…)

    Doesn’t have as many players.

    No challenges, for weapons, gears, etc. Meaning you get a lot less out of the game, even if it is free.

    There are a lot of things MW2 is better at then UrT. But, the fun factor in UrT beats the fun factor in MW2. I’ve noticed a lot these days that people who do MW2 commentaries are mostly just complaining about how bugged the game is, how broken everything is, how annoying noob tubes are, etc. Compared to MW2, UrT is the better balanced game.
    Don’t get me wrong, MW2 is a great game, it really made a breakthrough in the gaming industry. But for me, UrT is the better game. Most people look at UrT and laugh because of th not amazing graphics, but UrT’s motto is “Fun over Realism.” And I think it stands up to that motto, because I don’t find myself rage quitting every time I get stopped short of a certain amount of kills.

    I know the pictures were just released, but I don’t like the graphics of Skyward Sword. Yes, I’m a whiny LoZ fan. I’ll buy it anyways and try to hold in my doubts until it’s released. But Twilight Princess was gorgeous looking.

    However, the redesign of Ocarina looks amazing. I’ll probably buy the 3DS just for that (if the system ends up having good reviews).

    Twilight Princess felt dead to me. There were very few places with distinct, solid colours and themes. Or if there was, the lack of good music made me indifferent (compared to OOT).

    Skyward Sword has the colour part down and it might even get the music. Still, I get a strong feeling that it will be as ridiculously easy as Twilight Princess (my third gripe with that game). There was never ANY threat of dying in that game, especially against those would-be intimidating bosses (*cough Fyrus & Morpheel cough*).

    I’m just hoping they add some difficulty setting. Otherwise, I guess I could just play without getting any Heart Containers.

    I think it’s far enough ahead of it’s time that it’ll under-perform in grand fashion.

    I don’t think that it has a time. I can’t imagine it adding to anything; in fact, the constraints imposed by it being anything short of a Holodeck or the Matrix would probably end up detracting from most games. Aside from a few niche applications (like party games), I have a hard time believing that there’s really a place for it.
