FPS with old one

Call of Duty

I still remember, when I was playing the best first-person-shooters at the time. Though I'm not sure what was the first fps game I started playing with, but unfortunately Quake, Doom and Wolfenstein 3D (etc) weren't on the list. Actually I have never played them - sadly - and maybe never will. A lot gamers tell you, Quake and Doom were the best shooters there was (at the time, and still maybe). I might never play them, mainly because I have no inspiration to play them and I would suck a lot playing those.

But anyways. Call of Duty was one of the games, and maybe the only game I played on every difficulty level. Hardest wasn't even hard, more like annoying in some parts. Second in series I played almost on every level, except one. Was so bored to play it again. Now that I think of it, this might be the reason I don't play newer CoD games on every difficulty, it just gets so boring getting through the levels - or specially with the annoying levels or part of levels.

Enemy Territory - Battery map with Allied beach invasion

And if you remember my previous post, most impact for me in fps genre, has been made with Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (in short: ET or W:ET). The days when I played it days and nights, so much fun. I still play it too, exept not all the time. Biggest reason I quitted for few years was newer games and the servers on W:ET, that uses so many mods which pisses me of. I'm quite fond of Jaymod (little bit for No Quarter), but that's it. 

Orders won't get far enough

My pre-order is still in post office, or in a way to my city. Don't know exactly, but I'm eagerly waiting that Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Augmented Edition. Official launch in Europe was last week, just before weekend, and I missed it. Well, I kinda knew it wouldn't get in here in time.

In a mean while I fragged some ass in Enemy Territory and watched some movies to my boredom. Before I got myself to get ready for work this week, I suddenly remembered buying Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas Collection pack with Vegas and Vegas 2 few months ago. And as I liked Lockdown in some way (with bots being them old ass****s), I thought this couldn't be as bad as that. Well, disc went to drive and began installation. Didn't take as much time as Lockdown did, but hey, it had 4CDs (I had the old case).

After installation and starting up the game, I had to choose my character type (male or female). At first I almost chose female one, but then again, it was nice change to take male part this time (I like choosing female characters for them to be more eye candy). Before I got to finish the character, there was camera option for face to the game scan your face and put it on your characters face. Got curious and tried my new Logitech cam. Took couple shots with each got it's own mechanics to crop the image from certain poins. The finished job was quite amusing, but in the end pretty happy for certain detail (the beard was so intense, but eyes were little too high).

When I almost got to play single-player campaign, I realized you can co-op this game as well. I searched ongoing games, but never got into one, so hosted myself. Couple guys joined my team, with first one leaving me alone with bots because we failed the first "chapters" end sooo hard (defusing bomb and then more than few terrorist came from different angles and we didn't get much cover).

Fun game, ended little too soon (played pretty late at night), but got to blame myself for remembering too late for having game in the bookshelf. Almost even thought for bots being little easier to command, but last chapter ended having hostage killed with my bots being at some random place. From minimap I didn't even see them, but only the arrows showing which way they were "left behind". That point almost facepalmed myself.

This week might start with brand new game, if I'm lucky enough. If not, I'll continue playing Vegas 2 again and this time I know better with terrorist >:)
