need FPS help

[skihard]

My boss wants to get a new FPS (other than Call of Duty) for lunch time gaming.

He wants a quality game that can be played on our LAN, but he only wants to buy one copy so I need suggestions on what to get that will work with 6 people and only need one copy for our office.

thanks

oh I should add he wants a quality game with 'real' weapons no scifi type stuff, he's not into that.

[HAMC8112]

Tell him to go buy one.

[Quietus]

I was going to suggest unreal tournament, until you said "only real weapons". I guess biorifles, explosive spinning blades, laser guns, and things like that, just aren't all that real.

[mhl12]

counterstrike?

[Lazer LXXVII]

I dont know if he wants real weapons and isnt Call of Duty. Counterstrike sucks if you ask me.

Maybe SWAT 3? I only played the demo of 4 and they seemed to take out alot from the third game, such as being able to calm down the suspects verbally and stuff. Try SWAT 3.

[mhl12]

counterstrike may be outdated but it is a classic.

we already have COD2 as our current daily player, and we have all reached the point where it just isn't that exciting anymore, even with the little mods we've added and user created maps the game reached it's peak about 2 months ago.

I thought about Splinter Cell but don't know if we need a copy for every player or if we can load it on multiple computers and still play on our LAN. I know COD2 won't allow multiple users online but works on our LAN.

Is 'FEAR' scifi or is it more "real"?

any other options are welcome and we can go take a look at fans sites I just don't know what FPS games are out there.

looks like swat is out, it's team based only and we want deathmatch or free-for-all

I suggest paintball guns and a forest.

Your boss wants to buy games for the company? Where do you work foo!

[skihard]

I suggest paintball guns and a forest.
this would be a good choice if we were willing to extend lunch but since we aren't we need a computer based killing game.

I work at a company that designs (my job) and builds production tools for the auto industry and the big truck industry and a tiny bit of the aerospace industry.

Oh and it looks like Splinter Cell is also team based only

HALO with human weapons only, not sure about the install limits.

The no Sci-Fi weapons pretty much takes away everything.

[Lazer LXXVII]

FEAR is like half and half, great game regardless. I highly recommend it.

[asdf]

fear:combat's pretty real (none of the weapons are real weapons but still just bullet-shooters) and it's free. hopefully keep you entertained until you find a better game.

Rainbow Six perhaps?

Sorry dear...leaving now..

[skihard]

you sound surprised.no not really, I got the answers I needed before it was infiltrated buy a non gamer so I guess we can talk about boobs and stuff now. Any games with boobs that you guys know about, all sizes would be nice. Maybe Leisure Suit Larry?


The Boss like the trailer for Quake 4 and F.E.A.R so I think he is going to go buy one of them before the 28th when he wants to have a late Thursday "working"


Sorry dear...leaving now..you don't have to i just had to say something after you made fun of my A-Thor-i-TIE

[HockeyChic]

I dunno, looks like it's picking up. But that's just me. :smiley:
See Ski, someone doesn't mind my posting in your thread and he has the A-Thor-i-TIE to tell me not too...

or we can talk about the different gaming positions you use...i think i am up to 25...i am just a newb though.

I've played quite a few FPS games, mostly older ones though and I don't play multiplayer so I can't help much there.

Soldier of Fortune 2 was pretty awesome. High realism, all the guns are real. Don't know if you need multiple CDs, but I picked it up for like $10 anyway.
