most ingame server apps suck - and they're not usually very descriptive. ASE is the Trillian of online gaming. They also have an irc room, #ASE I think, that (most times) if you're having issues, someone there can help you out - and they also give scanner network notifications (if its up or down, slow, etc.). Lat time I checked, gamespy didn't do any of that.

RTCW on the XBOX is fucking awesome!!
- QuickStop - 05-08-2003
its a console FPS, so by definition, it isn't.
- Goatweed - 05-08-2003
I agree, I played in on the xbox for 15 minues and I hated it - it's 1000 times better on the PC.

That's why you filter to find what games you want.
I love the UT2003 server search

I'm playing Line of Sight - Vietnam right now...I have 2 real major complaints with it. Number 1 is that it's either so hard you can't stay alive more than 10 minutes or it's so easy you never die. and number 2 is that the terrain isn't very canopy jungle like and the AI has unlimited vision I think.

Postal 2. I've been trying to play at work, but it fucks up the computer when I try to Alt-Tab it down so I can use the PC to help our customers.
The game is kinda meh.
- LZMF1 - 05-08-2003
quickstop and goaty....i know that you 2 are pc gaming purists but i have never played RTCW on a pc...sorry i like it on the xbox.
- Goatweed - 05-09-2003
the PC just offers more variables - it's easier to snipe, easier to scroll through weapons, easier to team chat and give orders, etc.
Plus, it does look better :-D

I finally rented SOCOM, it's a rather fun game to my surprise. I hate all these games usually but I am stuck on one friggin mission, it is so early in the game I won't even say cause you will all mock and laugh at me.
I been playing it for 5 days now tho and still excited with it. I like the sniper rifle a lot but I am too drawn to the Kalishnikov classic.
- LZMF1 - 05-09-2003
the game is literally like crack huh? try it once and you're hooked!
GONZ IS A SOCOM JUNKIE!!!!!!!! :5:
- Mad - 05-09-2003
Gonzo, use the SR-25SD if you like to snipe in single player.
Single player can be fun, but it pales in comparison to the on-line game play.
If you ever get Broad-Band and would like to play give us a holler.
It'd be awesome if we could really get some clan matches going against some of the others out there.
- GonzoStyle - 05-09-2003
I play about an hour a day, I cant get too much time in.
I finally cleared that mission I was complaining about though.
I was using the SR-25SD, but I like the Kalishnikov more.
- Mad - 05-09-2003
The AK is shit compared to the AKS-74. Three round burst owns all.
Single player I only got as high as Mr. Pickle mission with the gooks.

I got past the russians and the gooks, I am now getting the POWS from the mercenaries, I think in mongolia?
- Mad - 05-09-2003
You're kicking ass and taking names.
On-line>single player
It's just so much more satisfying beating real people then the stupid AI.
Boomer is a Uber douche-bag. Did he get you killed yet?
- x-file - 05-09-2003
playing now:
Wolverines Revenge = Good
Splinter cell = Sweet
- QuickStop - 05-09-2003
every review of wolverines revenge says that it royally blows
- LZMF1 - 05-09-2003
