1999 FPS Roundup

Dr. Pepper?!?!? Pepsi?? Coca-Cola?

JOLT!! It\'s what runs in my veins and keeps me alive! JOLT!! It\'s the nectar of gods! JOLT!! Caffeine and cola all in one!

Come on, join me in this chant: JOLT! JOLT! JOLT! JOLT! (repeat ad nauseum)

I find it odd that 2 games SharkyExtreme didn\'t even like (Turok 2, Requiem) make the list, but Rogue Spear doesn\'t. And Thief, which isn\'t really a shooter at all, came out last year.

Thief Gold doesn\'t count...

Yep, Coke is to Pepsi, like GI-Joe/Transformers is to Pokemon. It\'s just... better, and pepsi sucks.

Mountain dew is... ick. waaay too much sugar in that drink.

Doctor Pepper is foul.

If you want Caffiene, then XTC is the only way to go.

coke and pepsi both suck! mt. dew all the way

and no i don\'t want to score ;-)

i\'m just kidding

ok, you can start flaming me now

That System Shock 2 is one of the best SP games I have ever played. I would have made it first. Truly a unique gaming experience.

Not to steal any thunder from 1/2life but they used the cd key also,
so why did they even mention that bs about q3?
Biased son of a bitch.

i think the UT bots are probably better at running/controling levels by consistently picking up armor and weapons...but, this consistentcy comes at a price, they basically always run the same path thru the level which makes them very predictable...the q3a bots arent too good at controling level items but their navigation is more dynamic...they can go anywhere at any time and are not tied to any waypoints...when you are in combat with them they strafe like humans and they use all 3 dimensions of the level rather than just strafing back and forth...so, personally i enjoy playing the q3a bots because they seem more human to me, i feel like i have to outsmart them and not just figure out the pattern they are following...

#39, just because you \"hadn\'t really even heard of SS2\", doesn\'t mean it wasn\'t a good game. IMHO the game sucked ass (it ran like shit on my computer and it bored shit out of me), but alot of people seem to love it.

Just a thought...if the guy who wrote that article is really all that biased...why did he include Quake 3 at all?

I think that SharkyExtreme missed on the #1 FPS being UT with no lows at all.
I would say that they are being a little bit jaded with their comments. What about
the problems with D3D? It came out and didn\'t work on half the video cards
out there. I have a feeling that they are basing this on the fact that Epic has
already released a patch for this. I think that when id releases their patch, we\'ll
see a lot more people jumping UT ship to play Q3A.

I\'m not saying that I can\'t play both, just that SS2 at #2 and Q3A as #3?
Give me a frigging break! I hadn\'t really even heard of SS2, that\'s how little
of an impact it made.

I smell a tiny bit of bias in this article. UT isn\'t THAT great. Hell, I still think
it has SO MANY features that it is more like a freakin\' flight simulator than
an FPS. id\'s Q3A is just so clean... THAT is the definition of FPS.

Bah.

Mt. Dew rules you all.

THat could be. WHy would your friends have that crappy card? Was it pick of the week at Old Navy or something?

I also have a gee force. But the game ran like ass on my TNT 2 Ultra. Quake 3 has run on every computer I have installed it on. It even runs on my P166 with a Voodoo 2...about 15 FPS in a time demo...whop!

Low points for UT should be bad graphics, and bad preformance on non 3dfx card.

Pretty good read over at SE. Although I like UT, I think the \"variety of levels\" is overhyped. They are pretty to look at, however sometimes they lack good flow to them.
On the other hand, I also think the the \"space\" levels are a total waste of time in Q3A. I like both games, but I have been playin Q3A alot more.

\"Over 50 extremely well designed levels with excellent flow and variation\"

hahaha
funnypants


(dont flame me, i like \'em both too)

now what about soups , which ones are the best?

life is good

Coke and Pepsi both taste like shit and rot your brains.

Quake 3 and UT on the other hand are good. :)

And no, when I say Coke I\'m not referring to Quake 3! Quake 3 rox0rs!

Time to suck dick now
fanboy

Done with my shugashack catch phrases.

Boogieman

Nah, Coke is too fizzy. Maybe I\'m not l33t enough for it.

And Pepsi is oh so sweeter.

Boogieman

Pepsi is weak. :)

Now let\'s stop with this worthless Q3A vs. UT mumbo-jumbo. They are both excelent games. Buy them both.

BUT... pepsi is still weak, hehe.

#11: Agree!

#18: Agree!

Sorry, had to... 8)

What\'s the deal with \"The potential for annoying CD key problems\" as a bad point for q3? How can you mark a game down for something that hasn\'t happened yet?

That\'s like marking down q2 with \"The potential for a mod to format for hard disk\".
