What single player FPS campaign are you playing?

I am 9 hours into Bioshock Infinite and really loving it, it is like an extreme re-imaging of the first Bioshock, rather than a true sequel. I do prefer Rapture to Columbia, but man, it is a great game.

Can't even put this game into words and I think that's what they were going for. You just really can't even talk about it, people have to play this to really experience and live through it. Incredible stuff.

I'm more into megastructures and stuff myself so I'd say I favor Columbia more, but Rapture was awesome too. The combat is a lot cooler to me and something about the FOV feels a lot better, for some improvements I'd say. And the music is amazing. I'm loving how gritty and brutal the game gets at times too, from the music, to the violence or sound effects, it's practically disturbing sometimes, which is just awesome and probably yet another thing they wanted to give off considering Columbia looks so inviting on the outside. This was there in the originals a bit, but I somehow feel like Infinite is even darker.

Yeah... GOTY I'm sure.

All I can think about during times this last week when I haven't been playing this game is how much I'd rather be playing this game. It is stunning.

I just finished this game last night, then yelled at my friend who was playing Dota 2 that he should stop playing that game and go back to his Bioshock Infinite playthrough.

Funny, as I've been playing I've been itching for more combat and have been trying to recall an FPS with fewer battle scenes...

I'll have more thoughts on the matter once I finish (hopefully tonight )

Eh, combat picks up a bit as you get towards the end, integrated with the plot or not (though a good bit of it is).

It would be interesting to see games either integrate things better, or simply move on to a different form of interaction.

Playing through BioShock Infinite I can't help but notice that its frequent combat sections detract from the overall experience.

Stopped reading right there. The guy obviously isn't taking his time. I spent like 30 minutes at least during the beginning. Stop, read the signs, look at things, look for items and hidden stuff, take it in.

The pacing is completely fine in my book, plus the combat is amazingly fun.

I'm going to hold out on this one.

Medal of Honor European Assault (Gamecube) is completed! All medals earned! That very last mission I'll admit was one of the toughest I've ever encountered in an FPS. I think this game had quite a few bugs and mis-steps too, but it was a very different engine, style, and presentation than the other games in the series were.

European Assault is easily my least favorite in the MOH series. Too arcade like with the adrenaline mode and everything. Plus the areas were too generic...

I'm re playing through the Medal of Honor series in chronological order as I have just about every game (except for Infiltrator on GBA). Just beat MOH and MOH Underground this weekend, then on to Allied Assault + expansion packs. One thing I love about this series is the music, it fits the mood so well. I think its an underrated aspect of this series.

I'll admit, the in-game textures and objects were a bit bland and uninspired compared to the other 2 Gamecube offerings (new engine I believe), and there were not a lot of those extra graphical touches like the propaganda posters you happen to see in just about every other game in the series, but I liked what they *tried* to do with the secondary objectives and getting rewarded for seeking out and and completing them, it makes you explore the level completely. I always do that in FPS anyway. I don't feel that just following the pre-determined path to victory is any fun, it's like missing out on a lot of the experience. I did have one big issue with this game. In one level, I defeated the "boss" character in the level and he was supposed to drop the documents you needed to obtain to complete an objective, and I completed everything else, everyone was dead and I spent about an hour searching through a deserted level with nothing but gunfire in the background, then I went back to where the boss was defeated and got up on the table he was near and as I stepped off, the invisible documents were found. There was no indication otherwise of where they were. I'm glad I did it and did every single objective, but that was nearly a deal-breaker for me.

I had a good time with MOHAA. As old as it is, it was probably the ultimate MOH experience. I even did some of the multiplayer "freeze-tag" servers. When I got this and the original Call of Duty last year, I noticed the same guy was in charge of the music for that and MOHAA. They didn't sound much different, but it is an important part of the overall theme of the game.
