30. Call of Duty.

I love it. And the Medal of Honor series. Has anyone played Pacific Assault? I can't keep from dying after I have defended that first ship, and I have no idea what or where the next weapon I'm supposed to use is.

Edited on Fri Nov-12-04 09:06 PM by Endangered Specie

Reply to THIS post if you agree and want changes:

{
The purpose of the "DU Gaming Forum" will be to discuss, review and critique games, mainly computer based, but not exclusively. With computer based games, the forum can also serve as a medium to set up matches between other DUers, as well as compare skill and strategy, and form DU "clans" for multiplayer online based games.

}
How's that sound?

as of 2nd edit: 3 more to go!!

except I've never liked "critique" as a verb. It's a noun. The verb is "criticize" but people think that means "wail on".

When I say game group, I mean all games, although Id like it to be mostly computer since DUers can play together much easier online with a computer.

56. CoD player here

Until last year when I bought my Mac, I played Age of Kings and Tropico for bloody years on my steam powered PC. So I gave FPS's a go just for a change. I like CoD, but it depends on the crowd playing. And since I'm on a phone line, rifle games level the playing field a bit with the broad banders.
