What single player FPS campaign are you playing?

never had luck with the ARMA2 multiplayer.

How so? Technical issues?

Yeah technical issues. I had it through Amazon Downloads, now I have it on Steam which should fix that.

Arma 3 is de facto Steam-protected so that takes care of that. The one hosting needs beefy RAM though, and a good CPU wouldn't hurt (the engine is still unoptimised for AI)

Here's an example of a liberation co-op session

Hey guys, in case you missed it, several of the folks here came together to do a piece on FPS hidden gems on GOG. Each entry has the name of the person attached, so if you want to yell at someone, you know who to track down, but for brevity's sake, here's the list of what games and who nominated them:

Catacomb Pack (Ack)
Dark Forces (Bogusmeatfactory)
Outlaws (fastbilly1)
Aliens Versus Predator Classic 2000 (noisredux)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series (MrPopo)

Popo and I had a back and forth on covering the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Catacomb games and decided this was the best arrangement.

There are many more wonderful FPS games on GOG(and sadly some wonderful ones that have also been pulled from GOG's store over time), so if you love FPS, I highly recommend you check out their selections. Finding them is unfortunately harder than it should be, due to GOG's awful metadata schema, but they're in there. Trust me.

Anyway, here's a link to the article:

Of those I've finished Dark Forces, Outlaws, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.. I agree all three of those are great and definitely are classics.

Here's one I think more folks should give a shot:

Of the games we mentioned, the only one I have not finished is Outlaws, which I sadly could not get to run when I tried about six months ago.

I have Kingpin, but it had trouble running on my last computer. I've since tested it on my new one and it works just fine, but I have yet to give it a go.

Got around to re-playing this, but on Windows. The gameplay is still fun in its primitive CoD fashion, but boy the storyline.. The Soviets weren't the ones who sprayed chemweaps on north Vietnam or deny reparations to this day after all, but you don't learn that playing CoD (or going to school for that matter ) I don't remember the game being so violent either. Probably the only CoD game with limb dismemberment.

They did make a Vietnam game where you play the "good guys" in that conflict (before the US got involved methinks), so I might give it a whirl next.

World At War had it too. I actually think that one was the most violent, gory COD game. Also the only one that decided rock music in a WWII setting was a good design choice.

Funny, I too am playing Black Ops - I have had 1 and 2 sitting around for ages and never played them, so am starting through them and hoping to play through Black Ops 3 which I picked up around Black Friday all in the next week or so...

[Xeogred]

Not going to lie, I had a blast with the BLOPS 3 beta. I haven't cared for CoD since the ancient days of CoD4 and MW2 by this point... so it feels like a good time to jump back in again. I guess I'll just check out CoD once every 10 years.
