I'm a long time PC Gamer. While I cut my teeth on Colecovision and Atari, PC gaming still remains my favourite way to play.

Traditionally I've been mainly a FPS gamer, starting off on Wolfenstein 3D and moving on from there. Quake II multiplayer (and Action Quake 2) took up good amounts of my time in the late 90s. Even went to a couple competitions. Shit, has it been that long?

My library has gotten pretty big over the years: Doom (Ultimate, II and 3), Quake (original, II, III and 4), Unreal, System Shock 2 (one of my all-time favourites), Deus Ex (don't get the sequel, it sucks), Half-Life (original with expansions, 2 and both episodes), Team Fortress 2, FarCry, Crysis (which kinda sucked), S.T.A.L.K.E.R (one of the scariest games I've ever played), FEAR, Bioshock, No One Lives Forever 2 (fucking awesome, I hope a good sequel is eventually made), WoW with both expansions, Fallout 3, BF2, BF2142, RTCW, a bunch of Star Wars Games like Jedi Knight and X-Wing vs TIE Fighter... and that's just what I remember having and not merely what I have played =P I don't think I want to know how much I've spent on games over the years.

I'm an addict =)

I continue to build custom PCs for my gaming needs. My current system is a AMD 64 X2 4200 + 4GB DDR2 6400 + GeForce 8800GTS 640MB + RAID 0+1 array running Windows Vista (yes, all my games work, even the real old ones), soon to be Windows 7. I've calmed down on the upgrade front and mainly just build a new system instead when the time is right. In this case that might happen in the next year or so. Then again, I may just upgrade storage and video. Who knows?

This is a hobby I don't think I'll ever outgrow. It's cool how PC gaming has gone full circle and is getting back to it's indie roots (remember Apogee and Epic Megagames shareware?). Valve is helping this a ton with Steam, making easier for one-man operations to put out profitable games. I'm considering trying some game development of my own.

Not as much as I used to, and sadly since I wish I had more time to play some of the stuff today. The earliest games I would play were on the Atari 2600 and Commodore 64.

I would agree though, I picked up Mass Effect now that its only $20 on Steam despite already having it on the 360... because I cannot stand playing a game like that with a controller. I have played just about every fps game from even before Wolfenstein 3D (Catacombs of the Abyss anyone?) to whats available now with a mouse and keyboard.

My Steam username is *cough* Croccydile but I have not really played Left4Dead since it got boring to me. I can only get a decent group for Expert with people I know at LANs.

Oh yeah, um, we do try to get in WC3 play at lans with most of what everyone likes to play... mostly tower defense maps and I think one called Seven Heroes?

>> ^Psychologic:
Ah, first real fps I played. I remember being blown away by the graphics.
I'm pretty sure this video runs at a higher resolution than the game did.


Yeah, it's not 320x240 since that was in PC port. Maybe an enhanced game engine?

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

You kids with your 9600 baud modems. 300 baud was good enough for me. I downloaded Castle Wolfenstein overnight and from a BBS in New Jersey - and it was good. (no not that Castle Wolfenstein - go back further)

Copycats!
The leveling system was originally a concept from RTCW: Enemy Territory. (no! Team Fortress 2 wasn't the first!)
It's because Grey matter (developers of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, plus the Enemy Territory) was merged into Treyarch, who have developed CoD 5.
No, not Quake wars Enemy Territory, The Wolfenstein Enemy Territory.
Only if it had better graphics


Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory has leveling up, yes, but your experience points don't persist. At best, you might find a single server that saves them. AFAIK, the first FPS to have persistent XP was Battlefield 2.

bwahahaha. Been playing this game a lot lately. I'm nearing that magical 65! Then I can try out the M1A1 Carbine to see how well that does. Also gave the M1 Garand w/ the Sniper Scope a test drive last night. Sucker is nasty as an alternative to bolt-action rifles. Anyways...

But the "leveling" system was in CoD4, which was developed by Infinity Wards, not Treyarch. Treyarch took the same engine from CoD4 and improved upon it (if there is such a thing). So while leveling up isn't anything new (it's still like ranks, only done differently), it's still part of how the game plays on multi-player.

^but they consist of people from Grey Matter, who made Return to Castle wolfenstein.

Also, Grey matter developed CoD 2.

Reminds me of Wolfenstein!

Reasons? Downvote for being fucking illiterate on the intarwebs. Did take me back to the sweet sweet days of Wolfenstein though. Ahh, November 2001 until February 2002, right until the MOHAA demo came out.
