AAAHHHHGGGGH! Me too! Except I always loved the cheats...like unlimited ammo... invincibility....(ok...that gets boring) but the "all the ammo you can eat" is pretty fun. The Clancy games are pretty good...Syphon Filter.
So it's not just me.

Ok quite possibly the dumbest thing I've seen.

But full disclosure: third person shooter.

Socom
Metal Gear Solid
Ghost Recon

It's what gets me through the winter, when it's too crappy to go shoot. ;D

Oh, thank God I am not alone! Currently playing AA2 and AA3 on a regular basis.

COD: Modern Warfare
America's Army 2
America's Army 3
BF2 (with the expansions)
Far Cry
Far Cry 2
SOCOM (PS2)

I had to give up on the role playing games (Neverwinter Nights, Baldur's Gate), spent way too much time on those.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." [Samuel Adams]

Phil, you sound like a good guy, so I'm going to help you out.  First, stop playing COD 4 and never think of it again, I forgive you.  Second, go download the BF2 mod called 'Project Reality'.  Its probably the best mod I've ever played, and it really adds on to the BF experience, it the hardest core squad based combat ever.  Then go get ARMA2, all the Operation Flashpoint greatness in an updated graphics and effects package with a stronger tactical emphasis.

Let me know if you get Project Reality, you can be my spotter. ;)

On that note, we ought to have a DRTV game night once or twice a month.  Let me figure some stuff out, I'll try and pick games that all ya'lls rigs can run, and that's free.  If your interest, post some suggestions.  I can run the server and VOIP, you guys just brings your asses so I can kick 'em. ;D

hehe 

hmmm  might have to re-boot in to windows and have a look at Project Reality

yea  a online game would be fun, 

just need to work out a time when the time zones  are best  like a Sunday Arvo for me  ( Sat nights I think US time )
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

I like all of the Duke Nukem games, for the comedy. I played a lot of first person stuff, but I'm all about Guitar Hero Metallica now.

I'm thinking about Mechwarrior 4.  The original studio is getting ready to release it for free 'soon'.  Its just enough simulator with just enough action that I think most people here would enjoy it.  Not to mention that it would run on most people's computers.  Plus we could all stand around and argue what 'mechs are the best with what weapons and this, that, and the other.  Just like we do now with guns. ;D  All you guys could be nerding it up, 'Roger that lance lead, I got your left.'  OK, maybe I'll be the only guy nerding it up. ;)

If you only knew what they were doing to your Duke Nukem.  It's basically one of the gaming industries biggest nightmares right now.  But at least we'll always have the memories.

I know that Duke Nukem Forever has supposedly been in development since 1997 and will be done when it's done. My daughter was going to pre-school with Rob Pardo from Blizzard's kids this past year, so I got some inside dope. I live right by Blizzard. They have a sweet cafeteria.

Is there any more news on Duke?
