Games that I play...

Once I get a more stable internet connection at home (Feb/Mar 2008) I'll be back to playing Eve Online with two accounts simultaneously

Otherwise.. it's Diablo 2, Rise of Nations, considering getting back into WoW...

On consoles... Final Fantasy has always been a favorite of mine (I started playing 1 for NES a long time ago) then there's Onimusha Tactics for GBA, Destiny of an Emperor for NES..Dragon Warrior 1-4 for NES.. the list of RPGs goes on.

Oh, and let's not forget Dynasty Warriors 2-5 for PS2... mmm..good times.

Hey, let me know how that R6Vegas is. I haven't played a Rainbow Six game since the first one, and even then, I played that on the N64. Didn't really like it all that much, but given the advancements in the Splinter Cell series, I figure it's probably worth checking out.

I just got XBox 360 for Christmas! I got the two standard games that come with it. The Forza Motorsports game is ADDICTING! I also got Halo 3, Rainbow Six Las Vegas, and Call of Duty 4. I still haven't opened Rainbow Six or Call of Duty yet. Kinda waiting till I get back to school. And I beat the first level in Halo. I'll upgrade my account when I get to school to so I can get online.

Yeah, the last multiplayer game I was playing diligently was Stick Arena. Fun stuff, but yes, WAY too many cheaters. When you're actually playing against legit players, that's one thing, but MAN...there are just too many cheaters. Still, if I can find a game that is cheatproof (HA!), that'd be fun.

What about multiplayer was so disappointing to you, GK? I'm just curious.

I want to like it, I really do. But after coming out of the perfect balance of TF2 and walking into the complete mess that is CoD4 multi it was a huge disappointment. Everything's just a one shot one kill frag fest that rewards finding a corner and staying there the entire game rather then any actual tactics. Then there's the retarded "Perks" ( Martyr and Last Stand for example ) and other unlocks that ensure new players basically just have to bend over and be whipping boys for high level players.

Then there's the cheating. Jesus Christ what's up with all the cheating? Exp hacking, auto knifing, etc. It reminds me of Counter-Strike with the level of cheating.

Combine that all with a map set that has a ridiculous amount of sniper holes / elevated fire positions and its just not fun in any way shape or form.

Oh, and why go so hardcore for realism then leave in bunny hopping, prone spamming and instant knife kills? -.-

It really sucks because I so wanted to enjoy it. Thats why I bought it, for the multi.
