PC Gamers Thread

[REDVRSS]

Hey

With a few Console threads rolling around, best we crank up a PC gaming thread.

We all know the PC is home of the racing sims (Rfactor, V8SC 3) but there are many other game worthy of a mention.

My favorite online games are Company of Heroes, Farcry 2 and the veteren Call of Duty 4

My Current Favorite is Call of Duty, World at War (COD5), if any of you play online, look out for Palooka.

what else are the biante community playing?

I'm playing GTR2 at the moment, but thinking of getting call of duty 4. How is the game, any good?

[berkut76]

Just started playing Dead Space. Really scary because so far there is no "creepy music" to give a heads up on "something bad is about to happen".

Regards,

Sergey

Am loving GTR2 atm as now I can finally play it, also I recently got Richard Burns Rally which while being a really old game, is awesome, even though I suck big time at it :D !!!

Mate you cant go wrong with COD4. The single player missions are a little short but playing online is where this game shines. Great graphics, very good control system and overall 'feel'.

COD5 (World at War) is more of the same but in a WWII setting.

Definetly both are must haves if you enjoy 1st person shooters!

Dunno why, but when I've had a hard day I just love to come home and kill some Germans! :D

Hey minh.. Im now running vista on my PC, would this wheel still be compatible for vista, its just that ive seen some logitech wheels can only run with XP.. Cheers :)

I too love the COD and MOH series.

Lately Ive gotten into the game Company of Heroes. Its a great realtime strategy game set on the western front in WWII. In My Opinion a must have game for any war buff.

I like to be the germans and smash the enemy with my Tiger tanks :)

I'm running Vista on my new PC and rFactor works well with my logitech DFP. However, i couldn't get the force feedback to work. i was advised yesterday on another forum that i need to go to Logitech's website and download a patch.

TCL Touring Car Legends has been released for rFactor!!!! Group A Touring cars from 1986-1989.

[brchi17]

[Kashmir]

I envy you guys who have and play Rfactor! especially all those mods it has.

Well the AI Vks were doing 2m24s which is reasonably close... I thought the Sierra's should have been faster, they were doing 2m20s....

I have a macbook too, so I am guessing it does not work on a mac???

Might have to get it for my other laptop.
