Title: Hawken, MWO, and Other Games
Post by: Cope57[1up] on June 06, 2013, 04:04:25 PM
Since Arctic Combat is region based, I do not see all of 1up's playing together on one server.
However, there are other fps games I have not mentioned on this forum which we could also play.  Games such as:

Alien Arena
AssaultCube
Cube 2: Sauerbraten
Nexuiz is moving forward with Xonotic
OpenArena
Red Eclipse
Team Fortress
TrueCombat:Elite
Tremulous is moving forward with Unvanquished
Warsow
Zero Ballistics

Oh, I almost forgot, the games mentioned are cross-platform compatible and are free.


Edit: added Xonotic to the list.

I would play Alien arena! (It's on desura too which is handy)

Unvanquished and Tremulous are sooooo bad. :P Not my style anyway

could be interesting. I remember back in the day playing mech warrior i think it was called on my PS1 or PS2. great game.



i know that soon enough we as a clan are going to have to find a new primary game. This much we already know. When looking for a new game though we need to make sure we can have our own server, and at least have some measure of control over it, even if we cant mod it in any way.

out of curiosity, are we able to have our own artic combat server?

IMO these games all suck (i just didn't like them, and yes I have played them all) except for RED ECLIPSE awesome game.  super fast great graphics and ran amazing on my old computer (100 fps!!!)   not popular at all though.

Most of those games are completly free to play and have pretty decent graphics and the gameplay is also not bad. and yet they suck? not true. u just prolly have a different taste.

You just can't please some people. There will always be some who refuse the believe UrT is slowly dying and refuse to accept other games.

when i get tired of playing a game, i hardly ever go back to it. If i do however, its usually years later after the game has changed massively.

cope listed these all because they are native linux games.  He runs a linux machine.  I have played them because one of my old computers uses linux, I played all of them and none of them really clicked (except for red eclipse) they just have corny gameplay, are repetitive, and unattractive graphics.  I'm sure there are different opinions.  You say UrT is dying? urbanterror.info/servers take a look urt has a good amount of players.  And if it does die I can always move to something else, it's that simple.

just over 1000 players.....thats actually pathetic. especially when it would have over 5000 at any time. besides that, then look at other free FPS games and on average they have way more on at any time....to prove its dying though, goggle the decline of UrT players. Every year they loose a lot.

.....174 american servers, only 33 with users.....50% of which have under 3 players.

just saying. this game used to have over 400 us servers, with about a 80% occupancy at pretty much any time.

If it's dying then I'm going to enjoy it while I can.

you don't have to believe me. i just know what I'm talking about from experience. i have see many games rise and fall during my gaming times. UrT will maintain a player base for awhile more. but in the next year you will see it on average down to about 600-700 players....if that.....and it will plummet faster from there

I did not necessarily post Linux games, I posted cross platform games; playable on most computers regardless of the operating system.  Yes, they are able to be played on Linux, but also Windows, Mac, and BSD.

I also posted games that no money needs to be spent to play.  Just because it is free, does not constitute it being bad.  Good or bad, it is matter of opinion anyway.  Others opinions do not reflect my decision to play UrT.  I think it is fun, and that is the goal of the game.  Have a first person shooter that does not get into much detail with graphics but is still fun.

I selected them as to not leave anyone out for some reason or another.  If I started posting Linux only games, then I would be segregating the clan by the operating systems they use.  I tried to also avoid ones that cost money since some of us are not as well off as others and the list was to mitigate those issues.

On that note:  Game on!
