Doom 3, Quake 4, Rome: Total War and Half Life 2

>:(... ;)

Crusher: Khan is a character from a star trek film, although not where I got the name from, and Fenring would be Hasimir Fenring, a character from the Dune books.

Very well, Fenring it is then. ;D

Anyone got anything else to add about the games discussed?

[Guest LtTitan]

I have a question to add...

Since there seems to be a lot of people who really liked Red Alert, me being on of them. I am going to ask about the famed Hell March song. I have been, for many years, trying to figure out what it is the person is saying in the song. You know who I am talking about? in the first 30 seconds, he says some sort of command. I have from MANY different sources that it is Russian, and others saying it's German.

First of all, I don't think it's German because Germany doesn't play any sort of large part in the game. Second, I think it is mostly likely Russian, considering... I also have it from a friend of mine, who is Russian, says that one of the words is "Pihota" or infantry.

Can anyone shed and light on the subject?

P.S. If anyone still has the game, and if it is possible, would anyone like to play? I've never actually played Red Alert online...

[DukeLeto]

It's Sieg Heil, loosley "Victory and Health".  It is indeed German, because Red Alert was originally slated to be about a more realistic version of WWII (with the Germans being the bad guys), and Hellmarch was written before they changed that.

You already made a thread about hell march.

I dunno about you guys. But I actually have a limit as to buying games.. The only games I'm getting are:

Halo: 2

Call of Duty

[Andoreion]

I think Doom 3 is going to suck. They already anounced that the A.I will be similair to the one from the original Doom (!) and the multiplayer options will be limited. Sound like Serious Sam with better graphics. I think I'll just stick to Half-Life 2.

[Kiyouta]

I dont believe you.

[Khan]

No, the only thing I have heard is that they are going to cap the FPS, but that is more of a benefit than a hindrance.

[Andoreion]

I'm not kidding guys. That's what I read in a local game magazine. Still, it wouldn't surprise if they decided to upgrade the game to allow for a better competition with HL2.

[Duncan_ghola]

I read that Doom 3 will have up to 4 players in multiplayer, but the good news is that the graphics will supposedly be intense.

Im not looking foward to much, besides halo 2 and quake 4. Halo 2 will be released in april and quake 4 in mid 2004, so they say

[Andoreion]

There already are screenshots available. And by the looks of those, anyone who wants to play should start saving for that GeForce 5 ;)

Halo 2 will be released in april and quake 4 in mid 2004, so they say

try june 1

and they say they might still delay it to chistmas time at the most

[Dunenewt]

Doom III is supposed to have the most advanced enemy AI ever created in a FPS.

[Super-ness]

yeh but what specs for HL2 or any of those games??

Khan u fuktart, your opinion in games suck quite frAnkly

[Khan]

Well there's no need for that, I'm not actually looking forward to HL2 that much but so far I've heard that these are the estimated minimum specs:

700MHz processor

128MB RAM

DirectX 6.0 or higher compatible graphics card/accelerato

Don't expect it to stay that low for long though, and don't expect it too run well.

[Kiyouta]

Bah, when will game companies learn that the greatness of the game is not proportionate to the MB and Mhz of the minimum specs...

Whats ur opinion on the games Kal?

[Terror]

:) no matter how sad it may sound.. but i think it is you who should learn that game companies know how to make money. And realy, i can't blame them. Games that run on old hardware have been made, new games are created, requiering more power, but the new hardware can provide that. Besides.. if Company A makes only games that run on old machines Company B will make games that run on new machines but that look much better. Obviously Company A will go bankrupt because they cannot provide the customer what the customer realy wants.

spell RvB qoutes correctly next time

[Anathema]

Nobody mentioned Hitman: Contracts. I liked the first 2 games, but they haven't released any screenshots or much info so it's hard to say if it will be good.
