Time away from our second home ;)

[Jpegg]

Guys..... I'll post this despite it not being my idea and it isn't ao related either. Whilst on Ventrilo one night, a few of us were socially talking about 'our favourite computer game of all time' and other stuff as you do. Cilamene, Chef, Meenie, me, Cogs to name only a few commented and remembered the days of Sabrewulf, Manic Miner, Laser Squad and the following Dune 2 game leading up to Command & Conquer etc etc. ZX Spectrum rubber keyed 48K computers were remembered still being in our attics to this very day, Amigas, CBM 64's... all the way back to the very old Elite space trading game for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron computers.

Now then.... Meenie suggested something which I thought was a great idea. His suggestion was that some of us, maybe once every month or two months for one night only, choose a quick shoot em up game like Unreal 2003, Halo or some other bloodfest game and take some time from Rubi-Ka and get together in an arena to battle it out.

What do you guys think?

*wonders if there is a QL200 Bear Claw in Q3*.....
sure thing .... i'll join up in this bloodfest, havent played any shoot'em up in a long long time ..... could be good fun

oooh wait .. do i have to start a Sol for this ....

[Jpegg]

Another reason I'm asking really is cos I've just threatened half of the Whispers Edge headstrong gals that I'm gonna whoop their asses in Unreal 2003 so would be good to have you guys to sorta watch me do it if that game comes up as a suggestion

[Renegader]

Oh, ill join this one, havent played shoot em up since QuakeWorld (Quake1).
And i have an axe there, so its similar to my enf

[Smacdevil]

Could be fun! Jpegg, do you mean Unreal or Unreal Tournament 2003? I only have the latter...

[Jpegg]

sounds like fun! I don't have UT2003 though, i'll probably run out and buy UT2k4 if it's compatible with the previous one. Just name the time and place so you all can "ownz m3"

BTW, i do have counterstrike and medal of honor if anyone wants to go the more "realistic" route

[klopfe]

What do you mean "second" home? Is there another place?

[Jpegg]

Well, Ive just unravelled the magic if Halo.... anyone see damned good possibilities in jumpin in the back of my jeep and shootin other jeeps with the big gun while i drive and another friend sits in passenger seat shouting "Death To The N00bs !!!!!!!!!' ??

[Monrakashi]

Haven't tried playing Halo yet but...

/me whispers "I've got some pretty amazing twitch skills"

QuakeWorld, best game EVAR!
try downloading fuhquake, and play quakeworld with really updated graphics. It rocks!

JP, if you ever want to give a real FPS a go (anything on a quake-engine), just shout.

I'd need some training to get back to mindless shooting without using the 'q' button and use more movement as fighting as well instead of just relying on blinds and reflect shields - but it'd be fun. Name the game and I'll probably be up for it

i've been playing a lot of enemy territories recently. i could be convinced into purchasing/downloading a new FPS though.
if you wouldnt mind me tagging along that is
