Back to Battlefield 1942

So.. what now?

Historical capture recovered from the Wayback Machine · captured 2011-02-10 · 42 posts
I'm curious as to what other players have been playing lately.

Seeing as how BFBC2 lasted about half a year or less, and that BF2 is now finally dead.. what games are people playing? And, more specifically, what games are people actually playing in competition - if any?

I feel as if competition other than in TF2 or Source is pretty much.. well.. dead. It's a sad day.

MoH is plagued with problems and never gained popularity.
CoD is, well, a joke.
Any battlefield game is probably a year or so away.

I find myself wasting time playing CoDMW2 on the ps3 (haven't bought black ops) and occasionally Fallout: New Vegas on the PC. But I don't get the same feeling playing anything these days that BF1942 still gives me.. or any BF game for that matter in competition. The strategy and complexity involved stands above the rest in my opinion. There's nothing like correctly positioning yourself in what seems to be a lost battle when you're about to face 3-4 other tanks, and then somehow coming out on top via strategy or movement.

Other than that, I pub CS:S occasionally but even that is seeing it's downfall competitively. Then there's Unreal Tournament 3 - which probably died off quicker than any game I've ever seen. Hell, in the first two months of it's release most servers were full of bots.

So, what are you guys playing? I'd like to hope that these forums would stay up for a bit longer after this tourney but unless this game gains more interest and another one is held after Thanksgiving I don't see that happening - which is unfortunate, as there aren't really any forums out there to begin with anymore..

My PS3 handle is "Mr_wallyD" if anyone wants to pub sometime.

Rev aka nL(Next Level) picked up black ops for competition, nothing else to play
I would love to see another 1942 tournament/ladders happen after Thanksgiving. If not going into the holiday season, then coming out of the new year. Please keep these forums up for good now as it is critical to have a place like this to be able to set things up.
i would like to field a team i got alot of young players who would love some competition and i can field 8 each time easy i say another 42 season
I have been playing COD4 for awhile now and still do. However I have picked up Black Ops and have been playing that nightly since it came out.
Black Ops on the 360, name is ibemacin v2. I still have MW2 on the PS3 mal, but can't tell you the last time my PS3 turned on, psn name is ibemacin!

Our group is playing Black Ops.

Some of us will probably get back into BC2 when the new maps and Vietnam hit, but that's probably too little too late. They should have released new maps sooner. DICE has their hands in too many projects to do one really well.

MoH isn't too bad but to sell PC players a DLC map pack 2 weeks! after game launch is complete bullshit. They are being way too greedy with that game, and frankly, Black Ops plays better (if you don't CTD...)
Lame perks, maps conducive to extreme camping, and air strikes make COD extremely gay. Thankfully the comp mod gets rid of all this trash less the maps, but you can play S&D and that forces people to move some. But I will never spend another dollar on a COD game ever again.

STARCRAFT 2 FTW

This is false. Next week Gran Tursimo 5(which was suposed to come out 2 years ago) is finally comming out for the PS3. Not an FPS, but still as far as competition is concerned there is alot of fun to had in that game. In the first month Nissan will be sponsoring a tournement that filters out the top 32 players in the USA and puts them in a reality-show-type competition to single out one person to race for a profesional team. I myself am a huge car fag and race go karts in my spare time, so I can see how many of you wont be interested. Also, its not much of a team sport type of competition, and if you dont have a steering wheel and racing seat setup for the game dont even bother cuz the game will be too hard to compete. But still, its nice to see some kind of genuine support for competition.

But I totally agree with Malakai's statements on the new games' lack of competition awareness. The thing that makes BF42 so great is how the infantry, tanks and planes create a sort of system of checks and balances. And for some reason, possibly by accident, everything just works out, with plenty of a skill learning curve to achieve in each aspect. The biggest problem I think is all the new games arent centered around WWII anymore, which means you get weapons and tools that are suposed to be super easy to use. No more do you have to lead your tank rounds, or set up shots for dog fighting, you just press a button and it fires a heat seaking missle, or some kind of cheap-attack nuclear bomb air strike(no skill in that). Also, I dont think any of these companies wants to spend money on making games with clans or community based competition in mind, because theres not much money to be made. Pub noobs like it better to use the latest "technology" and rack up their points so they can get new guns and achieve high ranks and stay entertained. I think the companies design this in mind to apeal to the masses of noobs, and to turn around and make things better for team based gaming wont yeild higher profits. Eventually somebody will come out with another BF42 perfect game again, I hope.

tl;dr?

(I read most of it, btw)

I am playing TF2. In terms of mechanics, it is inferior to bf42. However, it has an active community and developer. The game is fun as well.

I also play l4d2 occasionally.

No good FPS on PC anymore and game companies are going away from PC, I'll play where the competition is at and plus using a controller is pretty easy once you get used to it. I tried using my controller to play cod4 on the PC the other day!

LOL, how do you conclude that!? Like I said, not everyone is into cars, so not everyone would be as interested, but at least they still support their game's interests in competition. Dunno how you found a way to push ego into this, but I forget I'm dealing with a bunch ego maniacs that dont know how to relax and enjoy friendly competition and or conversation. Relax cool guy, no ones trying to say they are better than you; dont need to get all hyped up.
lol you mad? hehehehe
Yup! Thats why I started my post with lol. LOL!

Actually that's not true. You don't need one. The Ps3 gamepad is fine. I've played nearly every single GT and I've always played pretty damn well

Well damn thats pretty good then. You getting GT5? My psnid is redcouch1212

And Tankmaster, I honestly dont know you, so its safe to say you dont know me, but I dont understand why you keep trying to single me out on my posts, especially when youve had wrong or misleading information every time. All I do in threads is post revevant information relating to the original posts, and I never call anyone out until Ive been agressed. Ever since the match with Dinos half their roster has been instigating me on irrelvent or totally incorrect and mislead info. I dont have any problem with these people, they just need to stop e-thuggin. I guess this is why these forums were closed in the first place, and I suppose they will be closed again if these people dont relax and stay rellevant and on topic.

I have no desire to play TF2 in competition really. I am considering it though since it is the only living fps pc game at this point. Highlander mode might be fun to screw around with.

But yea, CoD is a joke. The Battlefield games are dead and the series is done.
I've been playing World of Tanks a bunch. It's a great game, but still in beta. Imagine Aberdeen + WoW.
There will be lots of match/clan support as well. I'd love to compete with some fellow tankers eventually.
