Nope... I used to be big into Command and Conquer but have no time for it now that I'm serving my new addiction... AFF...

COD2! :thumbsup


Enemy Territory is a blast, but can get frustrating.

Battlefield has wwwwaaaayyyy too many buttons to try to figure out and remember to push! :lol

Hubby's been playing 2142 and is always telling me about this medal and that award. He's always GOTTA get to that next level. LOL!

Battlefield 2142. Look for the amishwithattitude server. No swearing allowed in text or if you join in on vent. Cussing or masked cussing will get you banned. That's the main reason I joined the squad. It's so nice to play and not have to worry about hearing some swear words come across my speakers.

My game id is Actwo38. I might be able to play a little this weekend, but I'm on the road right now and again next week.

Check us out at amishwithattitude.net (http://www.amishwithattitude.net). We're recruiting.

What is your game ID?

I was going to ask the same thing, with the job, kids, fishing, the forum, church and sleep, how on earth do you have the time? Case in point, every year my friends ask me to play fantasy football with them, but man, I would have to cut out the quality time I spend with my lovely.

I tend to play classics.... love Risk2! (Also fire up DTD for a quick 10-20 minute game).
Right now I usually only play games that don't suck up hours at a time simply because I need to be able to get a 'quick' game in between doing other things work related.

Well, by classics I mean the early to mid 90's. One of my all-time favorites is Populous! (And Populous 2 -could not stand 3.)

World of WarCraft...

I never paid to play any game like that....not when the first one that started them off Ultima came out...not with the other ones that took it's place. I can't imagine paying $50 for a game...then pay an additional 10-15 dollars more each month on top of a fast broadband account....because you can't play those games with out broadband and in may cases, unless it's fast you still can't play or you will die a lot.

You can play Guild Wars though for free of monthly charge, but you still have to buy the game. I only played the Alpha version (yes pre-beta)...it was ok, nothing thrilling.

You can play NeverWinters Nights online in persistant worlds, though you would be on a server that is full of other players, which often is actually a bonus since if someone is doing an area you have to wait.

However NWN and WOW and all those other games like that are pretty much based on the principle of Dungeons and Dragons. It's fantasy role playing

The only thing that has stopped me so far is the monthly fee PLUS the fact that I simply cannot devote that amt of time to any one game. I do play a lot of stuff but always in 2-20 minute blocks of time.

I do love the role playing games from a pure tactical viewpoint and have played most of the Ultima games along with the classic Bards Tale's and a few others. Anyone else remember Tunnels of Doom for the old TI? :)

The only online game I have ever played where you actually interact with others is the original Quake.

lol...I was playing Q2 for a while at MSN and then some Q3...but they weren't team based.

Enemy Territory and Wolfenstien Multiplayer are team based, Germans vs Americans

ET is free to download too and is based on the WM game...in fact same people made it. There are a ton of mods and maps.

I usually play engineer. They are probably one of the two most important classes. In one map your team has to guide a tank over to the other side and blow up a fuel dump. There is a small gorge so you have to build a bridge. IF you get it built the enemy Engineers try to blow it up with dynamite

They also build HQ and once that is done I think the dead players respawn faster. An enemy engie can blow it, but the fuse is 30 seconds. Thats where CVops come on. They can steal enemy uniforms and drop a radio satchel charge...it's kinda fun to run in as an enemy player, drop the charge and run out and hide and then blow it. Engies can plant mines and get more grenades. They only get a choice of two rifles and one of them has a grenade launcher in it, but it's a single short carbine or something like that..

You can go up in ranks....at some point you can get two side arms and go akimbo...pretty cool. The CVops has silencers. He can also spot mines and gets a choice of three weapons. Sten, paratrooper rifle (with a lame scope) and a sniper rifle with silencer. He also gets smoke grenades. Engies can disarm mines too.

Most of the objectives require an engineer. The other really important class is medic. They get more HPs and they regenerate HPs and they can pass out meds to heal others and they can bring a dying player back to life. The more meds a team has the more HPs you will respawn with. They are very important because rather than have to wait 30 seconds to respawn your guy can just be fixed....a good medic or a couple often means the difference in a game.

LTs pass out ammos, can call an air strike and a sustained air strike.. Medics and LTs get no choice of rifles, Medics can be hard to kill if an LT gives him a lot of ammo

Soldiers get a large choice of weapons. Flame thrower, Panzer (RPG), Vulcan like gatlin gun, machine gun and morter....I think maybe a sniper rifle too.

Kinda fun and free, but servers are shrinking as people are moving on to newer games.

Anyone have the new Half Life and play source online games? I used to play the older Day of Defeat, but I got tired of cheaters. That game and counter strike were so easy to cheat in, even though they were supposed to have measures to prevent it...it was axis vs allies
