BF4 was the last truly good/decentd BF. BC2 and 1942 are goated. Vietnam and the Desert Storm one (I think that's what it was called mod for BF1942 that got its own spinoff) were also top tier.

I would love to see a resurgence of old school BF, Tribes, Team Fortress and Quake/Unreal games but I doubt it'll happen, and not just like remastered versions of those but an evolution of them. I've said that FPS genre (along with mmorpgs) are some of the most diminished/devolved genre from the golden days, unless you like survival/extraction/BR shit. This game will probably suck too don't give your hopes up. It'll be a great shell marred with systems designed around mtx monetization, which will have ultimately killed any creativity this game might have had. Its sad and depressing but its where we're at until some chad with a vision gets AI to program his game for pennies on the dime.

Desert Combat was the desert storm mod for bf1942. The guys that made that were the guys who made at least some of the first sequels to bf1942 (they, in conjunction with the Digital Illusions, the company that made bf1942, formed Dice). You know your mod is good when the parent company hires you to make the sequels.

You might find something Half-life....ish...in the Horror category of the indies, but a lot of that has dwindled over time.

A lot of those times of games went full Survival Horror and many don't allow you to fight back, you just have to run and hide. Oulast and Amnesia helped push that genre.

Then you have the huge ass wave of zombie survival types that popped up which probably didn't help either.

BC2 is still the greatest FPS of all-time. Tribes 2 is a very close 2nd.

Shit, I’m still friends with my clan guys on this forum, other FPS forums, and in real life.

My first major online FPS with lan parties and tournaments. I had a blast in =V= dominating in Base and playing UR with ^VoN^ and $a$. Man I miss the Dallas and KC lan parties.

visually looks insane



but dunno answers to important questions like do we have classes again? Is there a server browser anymore? Are there pronouns in the character selector? doesn't seem like there is full on destructible environments like 4 but can't really tell either.

i'm hopeful though, if they can even get back to 50% of bf3/bf4 awesomeness that would be neat

I didn't watch the above video only clicked through it.. but leaks are all over the internet over the weekend; and while alpha is back to nameless 4 archetype characters.. no cancer; so far.. but i'd imagine it'll only be fat with different camo's, helmet configurations, and forces references like SAS GIGN Spetz GROM ect(if they're smart, atleast..)

Talked Utnayan Utnayan into playing Silent Hill 2 remake and he beat it before me. Amazing game I think we both thought it was an easy 9.5/10 remake. I never played any silent Hill games and I just loved it. I’m pretty stoked about this.

Dunno man I am one of the few that didn't like DE. I tried playing it 3 times, got pretty deep the 2-3rd play though and just did not 'get ' it. Also the team that made DE imploded due to infighting so this could be made by the copy boy that was left. Time will tell.

If you never linked this I would never have gone down the rabbit hole of Clone Hero/YARG and preordered 2 of these to play until the nostalgia runs out.
