Never got into CS:Source but played CS 1.6 and earlier.

Just like for FPS games I preferred UT over Quake 3 and the Unreal as a series in general. Not a big fan of Command and Conquer either. I never really enjoyed Warcraft games either. I like strategy games but I've never been able to get into the Total War Series.

Do you like FPS games? Do you enjoy every single FPS game and type of FPS game? FO3/NV, Stalker, Battlefield, Arma, Quake, TF2, CS, DXHR, and COD can all be classified as FPS games yet are extremely different from one another. You can't use one game as indicative of an entire genre. I'm eagerly awaiting the next CoH or DoW game.I think rumors of their existence have been floating around for a few months now. Base building is out, economy is out it's all about combat tactics for me now. After CoH and DoW, it just seems like so much more strategy game depth has been unveiled.

It's a "good" game, and it does what it does near perfectly, but I don't like asian tournament style, follow the recipe for victory games at all. It feels like such a cop-out, although I know they had millions of fanatic Koreans to please. I was expecting it to be very similar to the original (which it is), but I didn't expect to find the transition back to old-school RTS so jarring. I haven't played much RTS at all since Starcraft 2 sorely disappointed me. I loved the Warcraft series, Dawn of War series, Company of Heroes series, and Total War series. Multiplayer matches are too unpredictable in duration for me to plan them into an afternoon, so now I find myself hopping in/out of FPS games as time allows. I've just found that since I started working full time and am now married that I don't have time for them. The average action gamer is the guy who needs to find a quick Marlboro and light it with another smokers cigarette while shivering outside in the wind. A strategy player is a pipe smoker who takes his time to clean out the pipe, stuff the scented tobacco into the bowl and light up using a matchstick, sits back and meditates on the next move while he wafts in the smell. It takes patience, planning, and an aptitude for seeing where decisions will lead in a certain amount of time.Ī good way to think about it is in smoking terms. My girlfriends used to think it was the most boring thing about me, and I can see what they mean, but there is just something about being able to play as if you are a general commanding large armies, or a god-like figure who can build a civilization. Hell, before I got into PC gaming hardcore (when Half Life came out, I went full retard on PC gaming), I used to play hex-based wargames on a giant table. That doesn't mean I don't like FPS or action games (anyone can see my steam list to show thats not the case ). I'm an older gamer who remembers getting his first games on 5 inch floppies.
