Shadow Warrior 2 was a hoot and a half with a buddy but yeah the level design took a nose dive, it's still fun just killing things at least.

This thread is legit making me cry, I genuinely miss those days a little bit. At least the game related parts, everything school related can piss off.

Conga lines? You gotta spill the beans on that man

So, you had the ability to get behind players and execute them with impunity, there was literally no way to fight back and no reason not to use it all the time.

I don't know it's been years but I distinctly remember seeing lines of players just patiently waiting for eachother's kill animation to end so that they could kill that person and so on.

Splash Damage started as the mod team for Quake 3 Fortress. Q3F is where my teenage obsession with first person shooters and online gaming all began. :allears:

I then moved on to RTCW, which was one of the first popular multiplayer FPS games with a class system and objectives. Then naturally moved to Enemy Territory... bringing me back to Splash Damage game. Then a team then ported Q3F over to Enemy Territory too - all comes full circle.

Everything they've made since then has seemed to be ambitious but commercial flops?

It's really too bad that Quake Wars kind of sucked, it was a cool idea.

Serious Sam 4 looks like complete poo poo, I'm kinda not sorry to even say it cause I too question if the series was ever good or if it was only because it's all we really had for "new old school shooters" at the time.

Same thing with Painkiller too, it's just... boring to play now.

I always wanted to check out the series to see what the fuss was all about and it's mostly been fun, it has great shooting and the AI is a blast to fight but the level design is really rough at times and this last level I played was enough to make me ask if I should even keep going cause drat, disgustingly copy and pasted level design and endless swarms of various zombie enemies that can shoot at you(SOMETIMES WITH loving ROCKETS?!?!?!) as well as swarm you from EVERY loving direction RELENTLESSLY. Thank christ they got generous with ammo as you went on but woof was that not fun.

Jedi Outcast and Academy were a blast in multiplayer but yeah, I hated them both for singleplayer aside from spawning enemies and setting up brawls on the wide open levels along with that glorious saber dismemberment cheat.

aw, the first few Dusk maps were my faves precisely because they avoided fancy architecture. for whatever reason i prefer boxy build engine maps in my retro FPS games.

if fancy geometry is your thing though you'll find it in spades in in the other Dusk episodes. the maps towards the end of episode 1 get a bit fancy too, but episodes 2 and 3 go all in.

Don't get me wrong, the atmosphere and actual design is great but it just feels like I've played those basic spooky barn levels a billion times already with other games.
Cool to know though, I'll try to stick with it.

Project Warlock 2 demo is cool - the first game having kind of a Wolf3D vibe was neat, but it made things feel a bit...samey over time?

My only complaint about 2 is I ran out of ammo at one point early in the demo, and kinda just couldn't do anything? I basically had to rush past enemies to get to the shotgun and that more or less solved that problem, but it was real awkward not having some kind of backup gun or melee. Granted, acquiring the sword, I do like that it seems like they want the melee to be more useful then "thing you use when you have no ammo"?



That dumb sword got me killed, I didn't realize it used "ammo"/"stamina" so here I am thinking I got a get out of jail free card as I'm surrounded and... I can no longer swing and I'm dead.

Man, I must have missed something with Halo.

I tried it back when it originally came to PC and didn't really care for it then.

I tried it again, this time with the MCC and in co-op, and yeah... the gigantic levels and ridiculous amounts of backtracking kind of killed the enjoyment.
