OK, nerd time. Do you play video games online? What video games do you play? Console? What console? PC?

I have not been playing much recently but I know I get easily addicted especially to PC based FPS. I spent much time playing Quake online back in the day.

I am thinking about trying out Call of Duty, either World at War, or wait for Modern Warfare 2, although I am not sure my laptop will be fast enough to play MW2 and I hear that they are clamping down on the online community.

Call OF Duty is all i play now on 360. Used to play halo but it doesnt compare to COD anymore. Even COD WAW has some good online content, i especailly like the Nazi Zompie maps, they are pretty good. Cant wait for COD MW2, only couple or more weeks.
 
I find the XBOX 360 the ultimate console for multi-player first person shoots.

My favorites being Call of Duty and Halo.
But there's also Assassins Creed and Left 4 Dead.

Again, only a FEW of my favorites. The 360 offers a lot more.
 
stay away from mmos. most games I play on ps3. but for pc it's poker, doing the CF challenge trying to survive the freerolls
 
So... will the Call of Duty 4 community online die once MW2 comes out? I don't want to buy a gaming computer, I like to play on my laptop, and it may not be fast enough for MW2.

I looked and it meets the minimum specs, but likely everyone else will get 2-3x the framerate and kick my ass.
 
PC gamer here too.

Although the last one I played was Need For Speed Pro Street ( which sucked imo ) and need to finish Braid.

Not a fan of consoles but am getting the PS3 in Christmas for two things :

Rockband
Blu-ray

And maybe Gran Turismo 5.

btw, I HATE playing with a controller :o
 
Id love to see a team of Terbites hitting the ground and running in Modern Warfare 2 when it comes out! :D
 
I'm strictly PC, have been playing City of Heroes for 5 years, and now Champions online.

I enjoyed City of Heroes, and really enjoyed City of Villains...Go go Super Strength Brute. :D

But that said, I want nothing to do with MMOs any more. WoW crushed my spirit. Between guild BS and the game becoming more like work than fun, I could tolerate it no more. My characters are still on Deroth or what ever server.

The only online type game I play, but don't play on line though, is Rock Band. If I knew other players, I'd probably go on line. In it, I play guitar...Mostly bass, and I'm drifting up into playing it on Expert.
 
i used to play unreal tournament in multi player but it too took much time so now i just play with myself... :P
 
I've played Resistance and COD 4 online.... somehow I prefeer the story line of the off line experience, online is kids running and gunning... expect to die often.

I play on PS3. COD MW2 should rock, have it pre-ordered.

OTB
 
Does anyone really know if Second Life is still as popular as it once was. I logged in and tried it (for about 2 days) ,but find my first life more interesting, so didn't go back.

I've got a feeling facebook kind of took over people's time and other social/game type sites are losing out to that - at least Facebook is more real life!

Facebook is old and boring dude. You gotta check out Assmagazine.

Yeah, I used to play america's army and couldn't figure out why I had such low scores and would get killed so easily. Then one night I snuck up on an enemy soldier, emptied an entire clip into him, POOF he disappeared and reappeared 3' to the left where he shot and killed me. Turns out he was running a quad core hi perf machine with a net speed of 4 times what I was. It turned out I was running a full second and a half behind everyone else. It turned out that by the time my machine downloaded the data of all the other players, they'd already moved so I could never shoot and kill anyone.

OH, and at the time, I wasn't running the bare minimum setup. I was a couple of notches above that.

Moral of the story is: if it is a fast paced game, don't bother unless you have a top, or close to the top, notch machine and net access.....
