PC Video Game Recommendation...


If you enjoy shooters, and have a high-speed internet connection, I would strongly recommend "Battlefield 1942".

I've been playing it for a bit now, but this game kicks butt!

The learning curve is rather steep in online matches, but the effort is well worth it. The first time I hopped in a Spitfire fighter plane, assulted those Gerry bastards rom above, bailed out over their base, then got into a Tiger tank to continue to wreak havoc, I was hooked!

While it is World War II based, there is a mod available online that updates the game to modern warfare. Instead of Axis vs. Allies it's US vs. Iraq.

If anyone decides to get into it, let me know. I can offer up advice and point you towards the good servers (ie: zero tolerance for cheats and cracks).

You should put a disclaimer that you need a pretty powerful computer to run the game.

That game rocks! I have that, played alot of "Desert Combat". I just bought the expansion pack, "Secret Weapons of WW II". Haven't had much time to experiment with that one yet.

I agree...but then again, more than half of the computers I work on wouldn't meet them.

My guess is it's the T & L videocard that's required.

I have a 600MHZ computer at home and it may as well be the dog's computer because you can't do anything with it. Hell I am already thinking about upgrading my 2.6 GHZ since my MOBO can go up to 3+

I just bought a new laptop that is 2.4 with 64 MB video card...cool to play games on the airplane

I had a P3 450 which I tried the game on and performance was pretty bad--I got some performance, but I basically had to make it option-free.

I've been wanting a good gaming laptop for some time now. I just lack the cash to do it.

Already did--got a P4 2.66 VAIO a couple weeks ago with a DVD-burner , 120Gb Hard Drive, and 256k Memory. Need to upgrade the memory and video card, and maybe get a new hard drive for some video work.

You will need at the very least 1Ghz, 512, Geforce2+ to play Battlefield smoothly.

A very nice online game is "Natural Selection", it is a half-life mod.
