Something that you couldn't do in Serious Sam HD because it dropped a lot of those cool gravity-based features. Does that mean those levels are back in Second Encounter because I've never played them and I kept wondering what people were talking about. e: ah, It's only if you own Serious Sam Classics and not HD. How do I not have every Serious Sam game by now, those things are on sale every weekend?

Revolution is running on a tuned up version of the original Serious Sam engine, rather than the Serious Sam 3 engine as used in the HD remakes.

I like to see how far away I can get from the asteroid in the asteroid map. I also managed to get killed that map in a way that the camera kept rotating around the asteroid without ever landing on it.

It's pretty neat, I only had the classics on Steam because I bought BFE. I've already had one crash to desktop in multiplayer, though. And, uh, saving doesn't seem to work.

Anyone else notice the beam gun in the asteroid level? It's really drat powerful, but it eats through ammo like crazy. It's kinda like the Minigun, but with a piss-poor firing sound. Here's hoping that someone finds a way to mod the game so that it can be used in the regular SP campaign instead of a single survival map.

Is there a way to get a .pk3 to load the contents in a certain order? I'm trying to set up The Darkening in one file for ease of use, but it'll load the files out of order and won't start if I just toss them in there.

Rename the files so that the order you want matches alphabetical order.

I miss that period of that late 90's/early 2000's when LAN cafes were a thing. Playing UT and Quake3, HL1 mods, and so many early RTS games with people in the same room. Hearing their cries of defeat and victory. But, none of that bullshit talk that goes on when you know the person you're talking to is half way around the world. It was truly a magical time. I used to work at one place, and we'd have overnight parties. I'd just annihilate a room full of kids with practically my knife. If you haven't played jeepathon2k or supercrazycar(counterstrike 1.0 maps), with a room full of 20 people, you haven't lived. E: Fun memory. My boss used to bet people hours at the cafe that they could beat me at the specialists. Kazvall fucked around with this message at 03:02 on May 1, 2014 |

Yeah I remember jumping onto UT online a few weeks back, and I consider myself a fairly good FPS player. Not completely poo poo-hot, but normally near the high-end of the scoreboard in an online game once I get into the groove of the game. I got annihilated, as in completely and utterly without hope of fighting back. The Shock-combo I've always found hard to pull off on the move, and these guys could nail it right next to my face every. single. time. It's the same with Half-life though, I jumped in a couple of months ago and was doing really well until a guy joined who was some kind of loving Houdini at Gauss jumping, and I simply could not kill him. At all. He would literally not touch the floor, fly in and kill me with a single blast, and fly away again. The score ended up about 30 kills for him and 0 for me. Eventually I violated the golden rule of classic multiplayer combat and shot him in the head whilst he was tucked away facing a corner AFK. I left in shame straight away for felling a mighty warrior in such a dirty way.

I guess this would be the thread for this, anyone play the Painkiller remake? I'm going through the campaign of the original again and having a great time with it but wanted to play co op with a friend. I remember hearing mixed reviews about the remake at the time, is it worth getting for a co op run through the campaign?

I like it a bit more than the original PK because it has the best maps of the original and isn't as janky as the original game is. Even without the DLC, you basically get the best of the best original PK maps without having to wade through boring maps like the Bridge and the second half of the original Chapter 1.

I'm kinda looking for another weapons .wad, preferably something hi-tech-y. I've gotten Space Amazon, MSX, X-Weapons/Weapons of Saturn, Zero Tolerance, Nazis!, Batteries not Included, and the DooMRL weapons pack.

And really weird platforming/progression choices. I remember having to hop down several floors twice and struggling with the ladders. The only thing I'd change would be giving Painkiller more enemy types, but I'm really loving glad they don't have kleer equivalents.

At least UT isn't Counter-Strike. In CS, you spawn, get shot in about a minute, then spend fifteen minutes waiting for the next round, rinse and repeat.

Check out the new arms race mode in CS:GO. It's a race for someone to get 20 kills or so first and you immediately respawn after death. Every time you get a kill you get a new better weapon. Very, very fast paced and a lot of fun. It's not like the normal mode but a nice diversion. There's also a faster paced normal mode where you get guns for each kill instead of buying them. Rounds are only a couple mins at most and fast. I'm not as big a fan of this mode as the original or arms race though. Arms race is a ton of fun to just jump in, start blasting some people, and jump out 10 minutes later. mod sassinator fucked around with this message at 08:10 on May 2, 2014 |

Awesome, I'll pick this up when I can. There are some dud levels in the original but some fantastic ones as well, I'm looking forward to playing the plague village, templar castle and stuff with decent graphics and co op.

I don't have objection to that of course, since mapcontrol was an important part of gameplay that's lost when you just spawn with a loadout you chose. I can see how some people want the playing field to be level at all times though (part of COD's appeal that you can get some cheap kills fairly easily, enough to make even bad players feel good)

NOLF 2 has way better gameplay but The Operative gets everything about its presentation and writing right. It's an unfortunate payoff because I really enjoy the sequel as a game whereas the original has a bunch of terrible spotted-and-lose stealth sections and it's unfairly difficult in some areas.

Then how is anyone better than you at the game if it's impossible to improve? The longest a round of CS can go is like 3 minutes, and usually they're over in 1 or 2. If you forget everything you do 3 minutes later, you probably have something very wrong with you.

Speaking of Unreal Tournament, Mark Rein's hinting at something... Well, I say "hinting", but the phraseology makes it more "outright confirming". Question is whether it's some F2P port or UT4 proper.

Based on the graphic Rein posted, I'm willing to be it'll be something like a F2P version of UT99 or at least related to UT99 in some way.
