I'm surprised few of you play War Thunder. WW2 flight combat game, free to play, gorgeous to look at, semi-balanced. I haven't gotten to jets yet but I'm researching them (that's where I hear it gets unbalanced, cold war jets vs late ww2 jets). I regularly take on late war prop planes with my simple russian biplane (I-15). People just roll into turnfights thinking they can outturn a slow biplane and they pay for it
Also, if any of you are interested in Minecraft, a friend of mine just put up a Feed the Beast: Monster server that I can share the details for. It'll probably devolve in a bit to PvP and we could use the help
Think normal minecraft with an absolute smorgasboard of modpacks that add all kinds of content and crazy items and monsters and biomes. I at least expect Captain to come running into the thread at the mere mention of the word minecraft!
I used to work at Blizzard -- back when they were small. So I game a little bit.
TF2 takes the lion's share of my time. I tend to bag something, dedicate a weekend to beating it, and move onto the next. I haven't had a game hook me for repeat play in some time... although Prison Architect is trying.
I wish someone would figure out how to get me a fresh version of MOO2 or Star Control 2, or especially WC Privateer. There have been a pile of pretenders, but nothing that captured the feel of those three perfectly yet.
$0.02
Up for some heavy medic action sometime perhaps? Or whatever class you play. Medic is my main class though.
What is Prison Architect? It sounds like a prison sim game.
It is, but I'm not sure how good it is, other than it was on Steam one day and it was like 30 bucks. Looked simplistic but a couple friends had good reviews.
Rise of Flight. That's all.
Is that the WW1 dogfighting sim?
I used to play TF2 almost every night. Done Star Trek online, Starcraft, command and conquer, counter strike, some of the battlefield series. Kind of just an occasional thing for me these days.
I'm kind of interested in buying into the Star Citizen project but it's awfully high and I'm afraid I'd end up upgrading all my hardware and dumping way too much time and money into it. For those who played Wing Commander(my childhood obsession) it is a project by the same creator to build a new space combat sim that takes advantage of modern hardware.
BF2 and Bf2142 are two of my all time favorite games. I was almost godlike with the Cobra or Blackhawk in BF2, enough that I got tired of using the hydra rockets and instead just tried to pick off infantry running across roads by ramming them. Starcraft I own too, but I'm not spectacularly good at it. Always getting base rushed and I get frustrated because I can hardly ever roll battlecruisers across people's faces.
As for Star Citizen, I was going to get into it but then there was so much drama in the first place about it actually getting finished and going before the end of time that I passed. I like Eve Online for the space elements but it's completely removed from any kind of "dogfighting". Freelancer scratched my itch for that for quite some time even after it started going downhill. Now Space Engineers is doing that for me, but only for so long.
Don't play games much anymore, but I try to get on ArmA. I like to fly on there. I bought ArmA 3 but haven't even gotten a chance to install it.
I use X-Plane flight sim occasionally, not as much lately as I used to before I was flying regularly. Still a big fan of it though.
I have DCS Huey, and played it for a few hours. I enjoyed it, but have trouble flying it well. I hope to build a more adequate and precise control setup some day.
I play some Arma II OA pretty regularly, on Wasteland servers. Heard something about Epoch/Overpoch but I don't know what it is. It's like DayZ without the zombies, more players, plenty of guns and ammo, and vehicles. Nothing like setting up a base after finding some boxes of guns and an AA emplacement. Sit back and bait the road with an armored SUV, blow up anyone who gets near it
