Do I hear Megadeth's cover of Duke nukem? fuck yes I do.
It's funny because it's true.
well the video isn't really fair because on the cod side it's showing someone camping in search and destroy when there are tons of fast paced matches on ground war or team death match. someone can easily camp in quake just as easily as someone can in cod.

"I liked frag videos before they were mainstream."
I don't see how frag videos ever had potential to be cool. They're just videos that exist so the creator can brag about how many virtual people he killed.
[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;31593338]No, you have to admit modern games have a lot more cover and less running and gunning.[/QUOTE]
Can we please stop generalizing modern games? I'm sure there are some fast-paced run and gun shooters still being made.

More like Gauss-life Deathmatch
[QUOTE=SoaringScout;31599598]I'm sure there are some fast-paced run and gun shooters still being made.[/QUOTE] Maybe halo but besides that what shooter that sold well in the past 3 years was a run and gun? I'm asking because maybe I might want to buy one again.

gears of war, killzone, resistance

Call of Duty?
[QUOTE=thisispain;31599746]gears of war, killzone, resistance[/QUOTE] By run and gun I meant a noncover based shooter.
[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;31599855]By run and gun I meant a noncover based shooter.[/QUOTE]
why
and resistance, call of duty, UT3, crysis
[QUOTE=thisispain;31599895]why
[/QUOTE] Well run and gun makes me believe you will be running and gunning at the same time, but with cover based shooters most of your gunning happens when you are in cover or slowly approaching someone. They wont even let you run while you shoot because you can't shoot and sprint at the same time.

you can in gears of war and killzone.
they certainly aren't tactical games by any means, and i don't agree with the idea that a cover system /= run and gun.
you still run around shooting things.
Had some fond memories of quake in my childhood
and it certainly beats out what a piece of shit call of duty has turned out to become in the past few years Cod 4 was the last good call of duty
looked like a really boring way to play cod
Cheesus Crust
Me and my brother used to play half life death match on lan all the time. Extremely fast paced gauss jump/bunny hop movement etc and it remains my favourite type of fps. Unfortunately i fear very few games will be made like this ever again as it's impossible on a controller. (few devs will make pc exclusive)
Here's the full version of the song in the video.

Bullshit, those two aren't comparable
Shoulda been Quake 1
quake 3 best game ever made

thanks for the dumbs instead of replying because you know i'm pretty right.
Q3A is the shit.
Q3A is fucking awesome, I remember installing it in almost all the computers in one of my computer classes at school and like nearly the whole class would play, but of course they all were the console dumbshits and wasnt strafing or jumping around... they were playing it as if it was COD.

I can't stand older games like that with everyone bunnyhopping around like they're rabbits pumped with steroids and cocaine. It's just ridiculous to watch, and it makes a huge skill plateau for new players; good luck getting into the game when all the other players are whipping around at 300 miles per hour shooting each other in the face with railguns.
As much as I love my old games like Tribes 2 (replace bunnyhopping with skiing down mountains using jetpacks, and replace railguns with explosive blue frisbee launchers), it's damn near impossible for players to get into the game and do good / not constantly be curb-stomped.
I so fucking hate playing the latest CoD...
There is nobody forcing you to camp.
And holy shit the hate on other games just makes me sick on this forum.
And dont think I praise the CoD series over everything just because I state something.

Who's forcing you to camp Marphy Black?

What's changed between now and then is the amount of skill difference between players and the amount of advanced tactics and gameplay mechanics.
In COD, all players of all skill levels use the same equipment to the same effect, beginners in COD can put up some sort of opposition to advanced players. By contrast beginners in quake/UT almost never Rocket jump, airshot, bunny hop etc, and are always annihlated by players from the other side of the spectrum.
We need more games that require more skill and A LOT more advanced mechanics, makes the game decidedly more fun and fulifilling as you master them.
(A parallel to draw here is with fighting games. Nearly all fighters have advanced moves and tactics that appear mostly in the skilled department of players and they take time and a bit of dedication.)

It's actually [video] tags now.
And yeah in my opinion Unreal Tournament '99 is better than Quake 3
