good multiplayer games?

0pal_t0ad · 05-20-2005, 05:40 AM

it's been a while since i played any multiplayer games... other than bzflags

but since i'm upgrading from dialup to broadband, i thought i'd get some games to play.

two i definitely want are world of warcraft and MOH: pacific assualt.
i also want counterstrike, but can anyone tell me the difference between CS, CS:condition zero and CS:Source? any other good titles worth mentioning?

Cheers

MOH was fun, but the box set of the new half life with bundled CZS and CSsource are sitting on a shelf right now. It was like stepping back 5 years. Not the game mind you, half life 2 was definately the most vivid, spectacular game....but a bit on the repetitive side. MOH on the other hand looks like a cheap cartoon beside it, but is much more fun to play.

i'm not sure about pacific assualt's single player, but if the multiplayer is played properly(not just run around and shoot anything that moves), it's an AWESOME game. although I've only played it for an hour or two.

cereal83: Enemy Territory is free in which sense--free beer or free speech? (in other words: is it zero-price? is it free(libre)/open-source?)

Stay away from World of Warcraft. You wont have a life if you don't.

It's a free multiplayer game that you download, install and then play. There is even a linux version of it and added recently is a mac version.

It's free to download from their webpage or just google Wolfenstien: Enemy Territory download and several websites show show up.

www.splashdamage.com is the official webpage.

It's a WWII game that is cool. 4 differant classes and 1 of them, u can even call in airstrikes. I used to play it alot before I got into Counter-strike.
