Just like to point out that since 2007 Urban Terror no longer needs a copy of Quake 3T to play. The complete game is available for free. Gameplay and setting wise, Rainbow Six on turbo mode. Fast and frantic or slow and strategic. Both are viable play styles. Not criticizing just clarifying.doodger said:My favorite game? That's a good question. I'll go with my two favorite games, the one I played the most, and the one I can't get sick off: Urban terror, and imperialism.
It's not a blockbuster big game, far from it. It's a free total conversion mod for Quake 3. But that game is everything a good first-person should be: It's fun, it's paced fast, it offers a good balance between action and tactics. Also, the game allows you to wall jump, something that makes the game 600% more awesome. The fact that thousands still play this is a testament to it's awesomeness.
Google Urban terror.Get the game. Play it.
While were on the topic of free games I would like to mention the FPS Nexuiz. Not a F2P Korean thing either (same with Urban Terror). Nexuiz is arena based, has current gen visuals, and an actual single player mode. Check it out.
As for my favorite game: Three-way tie between Cave Story, Supreme Commander, and Half-Life 2
Cave Story is also free and is a platformer in the vane of the early Metroid games that this poster thinks anyone who views games as an art from needs to play. Story, gameplay, artwork, music: all excellent and all made by one man over five years. So, yeah Cave Story is my favorite.
