nycgamer Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Would you say it’s your best shooter or do you have others that you think are better? List all of your console shooters from your favorite to least favorite and any shooters that you’re planning to get later. I consider myself to be a pretty hardcore shooting game fan, so I’m interested to see how Ghost Recon (1 or 2) ranks for other 1st and 3rd person shooting gamers.

Deadpreacher Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 well i have too say Right now GR is the best! But most people like me started out with R6 back in the day. Anyways for future games that i believe well take over GR's place maybe one called Far Cry It just might the game of the year! " Not too sure how this ones going too pan out but Call of Duty looks very good! its at least one too look into... and finaly just too say before i go on is i never liked Half life games at all! well really i Hated emm very much But the new one HL2 the engine in that game just blows my mind away! and if we get some really good modders we might be able too mod it too be the GR2 we want! LOL i wish but anyways HL2 if it turns out not too be too much like the first one might turn out too be a great game! but im not holding my breathe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR_32 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Ghost Recon is nuber one in my book ... nothing comes remotely close.... except for maybe Rouge Spear... but I still love GR more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scout Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Ghost Recon and Operation Flashpoint are both ranked number one on my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATRI0T Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I liked Max Payne but after playing GR I knew that's it. Patriot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRP 56 Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 (edited) Max Payne , MOHAA , RTCW , Undying , Serious Sam are all good fun games but how much fun are they after you've played them a time or two ? " On the other hand GR is one serious tension filled realistic kill or be killed game. No med. packs here ! GR is the only shooter that I can't seem to get enough of. 2 years and still going strong !

nycgamer Posted September 19, 2003 Author Share Posted September 19, 2003 Anyways for future games that i believe well take over GR's place maybe one called Far Cry It just might the game of the year! " Man, I can't WAIT for Far Cry. I saw that game at E3 and it was one of the top of my list for PC games. Another one I really want to get for PC is Dead To Rights. Has anyone played that on Xbox already? Judging from the site (http://www.deadtorights.com) and the screens, it seems like it'svery similar to Max Payne; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRose_76 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Its the first shooter ive done all the way (well, except for some halflife). Must say that i dont have the need for others. GR no 1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hath Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Hmm I'd say 3, though maybe 2. Tough call. It is pretty good, fair amount of realism, good selection of weaponry (though no M14 and a mis-labelled FN FAL ). Pretty good models and textures. Not a really really wide variety of maps though, sometimes I think it gets a bit repetitive. Also, there are no long fields of fire, all pretty short. You never really have to worry about breathing or graviy affecting your shot. You just point and click. Typically I only play GR for a month or two at a time. Delta Force would take the #2 spot, though close to GR. Extremely fun game. Incredible game engine for its day, included some gravity modelling, and HUGE fields of fire, past 1250m. Extremely expansive. Rolling hills and terrain. Just tons of fun, played that for a good 2-3 years. #1 is World War II Online in my book. Has a long way to go yet, but has come a long way. Most immersive game I've ever played. No super scoped grenade launching assault rifles. You have a standard issue bolt action rifle, or submachine gun. Line of sight is to ~5000m, infantry render by 900m. Most engagement ranges 50-350m. Very intense. Battles out in fields, in wooded areas, in towns, in cities. And how you do in combat directly affects a strategic map. Plus there is not only infantry, there are boats, tanks, and aircraft as well. Full battlefield going on around you. In Ghost Recon you can raid "Swamp Airfield" or whatever it is, but in World War II Online you can take some troops, assault an airfield, destroy a bunch of planes on the ground, and then the enemy airforces in that sector will be that much harder pressed in the skies. If you think you're hot stuff when it comes to infantry, give WW2OL a try, it is a wake up call. Much harder with everything going on around you.

Lancer Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Having probaly played every FPS online, since Doom, Ghost Recon remains number 1. Its main appeal is the way it kept true to itself even with the release of expansions. Many games have been killed off by the makers because of the way they changed the game with an ill thought out addition. Credit to RSE for not tinkering with the game.

KRP 56 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 roadrunner and superbee. cool! Maybe I should have listed Mopar as the #1 shooter. There's nothing like a 426 HEMI shooting off those 8 powerful cylinders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchman Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 GR's #1 for me. DFLW, OpFlash, RTCW are all damn good games but they don't have the tension that GR does. If you can believe it I have just started to play Halflife, what a cool game I can imagine that was the absolute dogs in it's day. Looking forward to Soldner, that could be the one to pip GR for me.

slrkth Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I say GR is(was) numero uno on my list, but now its like last cause of "technical difficulties", so its now GTA 3 and Vice City for #1,Conkers bad fur day(N64, great game), and then Ghost Recon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Diggler Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 GR is number one until Far Cry comes out anyhow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2nd Ranger Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 GR is my favourite game right now, but I like SWAT3 for a few reasons; 1: Exceptional weapon sounds 2: Penetration values (oh, what's that? You're hiding behind that wall? So freakin' what?) 3: Most-of-the-time intelligent AI (checking corners, sweeping rooms) 4: Command interface (RED! Breach, bang and clear! GO when ready! -- BLAM, clunk, *POP* "Go, go, go" Blat blat blat "Hands on your head, do it NOW!"...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRW_Hotdog Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Goldeneye for the N64 was one of the best fps ever. GR is tops for pc though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
