Counter-Strike is still about shooting dudes in the face, not exactly planning and coordinating a hostage rescue. But if you haven't played Rainbow Six 3, I'll give another vote to that one. Again, Counter-Strike doesn't fit his criteria at all.

Thank you! At least a few select people know what I'm talking about. You would have thought that me trying to play SWAT 2 would have been a HUGE hint. Also, referencing the R6 series. I wan't something tactical.

Counter-Strike is to hostage rescue, as GTA is to precision driving...

Rainbow Six Gold Edition (Raven Shield + Athena Sword) is on Steam for 10 bucks and runs fine in 1080p on my Windows 7 machine. It looks kind of decent-ish too.

So goddamn fun.

"It looks kind of decent-ish too." LoL, Touche. I'm not going to try and spell that with the right "E" either.

Thanks. I'll check that out!

Have you the rest of the SWAT games, particularly 3 and 4? Sounds like you'd enjoy them.

Yeah, I have the 4th one actually. I've been playing a bunch of that lately. It's pretty janky in some aspects though. By the time they get the FB prepped and thrown after they have the door wide open for about 5-6 seconds, they're either all shot down, or the enemies just run off. Of course, my instinct is to just run after them, aaaaaand I get my ass handed to me. I guess FPS aren't that great for those type of situations.

If had this itch lately to play something with hostage/rescue missions in it. I tried to boot up my old copy of SWAT 2 but, it's all messed up using DosBOX.

The CoD and MW games just don't do it for me. Entering Slo-mo is not my idea of a tactical strategy, lol. I know the R6 series is somewhat decent at an actual, real time based rescues. Such as ordering your squads to either, bust down a door at the same time you do, or toss in a flash bang long enough to distract them. I'm not sure which games out of the series holds up as far as, being able to run in widescreen, and run under Win7. The Vegas games are, eh...

I would love to hear what any ideas you guys have for this. I would really prefer an RTS style game, hence me trying to play SWAT 2. FPS suggestions are welcome too!

Thanks.!

This was definitely worth the forum space this thread has just eaten up.

Hahaha, I know, right?

Palm to face.

Hey, don't judge me...

I don't get how this game has been green lit and I don't get why Hurt by Jonny Cash is used on the advert.

/2cents

It's meant to make the audience feel like this game will have some sort of emotional core, and that we'll actually begin to 'feel' for these characters and shieeeeeeeeeeette. Much like the Gears games, though they at least paid off on the emotional build up with Gears 3. I highly doubt Prototype will ever be a franchise that's meant to bring anything out of you besides the joy of murdering the world with gooey tentacles. And even then, for me, the joy is usually short-lived.

Yeah, very well put. Prototype 2: Narcissism

I don't know about you guys but, I find this really gross. It does no favors for the game, it looks generic as hell. Adding this "exclusive move" makes me think that this game can't hold its own, story wise.

Also, I can't stand the announcers voice at all. It's way too hyped, and has that annoying "gamer" voice.

Ok, I'm done whining, lol. I just wanted your thought's after seeing this ad for the 50th time on the Angry Joe show.

EXTREMELY hard choice. Both childhood-teenage years favorites, and nostalgia. I would have to choose Diablo 3, just because getting in on the ground floor of the multiplayer scene.

I remember D2 just got insane with trading, and knowing the perfect armor and weapon combo for each class. And who could forget the SOJ madness.

Max Payne 3 is a great single player game. Both previous games wrapped up the story quite well, IMO. I think I'll buy that at a later date.

I really hope the auction house in D3 is the ONLY way to trade.... I made a ton of great friends with whom I traded with. If they needed stuff and I happened to find it, hey here ya go. And vise versa. There was no trying to haggle or cheat each other. Those type of people ruined the game.

Slice the pie. I actually learned something from a video game.

And no, you don't go in ass first...
