    Re: BF2:SF vs. F.E.A.R. vs Quake 4

    COD2 instead.

    BF2:SF is just shovelware, fear and quake dont have good multiplayer but i know fears single player looks interesting

      I rather wait for the Quake 4 mods to come out and we'll see. Until then, BF2:SF can't be that bad for 30 bucks....and not just buggy. Then again...

        I played and beaten Both Quake IV and F.E.A.R, firstly F.E.A.R to me was fun, it had new clocks and bells, but the story was far worse as you go on, very short game, the game is very dark and it fails at scaring a regular person most of the time(E.g. The scary frequency sound pitchs always plays before the visual shock scene which alerts the user, which sequently it does not work unless it works the otherway around; visual then audio) FEAR ending sucked, without spoling anything, it was not worth my money since it was always the same and boring halways you had to go through.

        Quake IV in the otherhand had the classic look and sequel from Quake II was very entertaining, playing it as general it became more challenging, the game starts smooth and then gains quickly, I loved this game because it was never the same, each level consisted of "new weapons,vehicles to use,simple puzzles, and finally massacres" I would not go wrong with this title, you never have the feeling of lonelyness, there are always AI friendly soldiers that backup you and follow you around, and its very well scripted, the graphics are amazing if you play at high settings the levels are huge, compared to doom 3 it was only 5 halways or so per level, I think quake IV is what doom 3 should have been, but of course the story of Quake IV is unique.


        I know nothing about BF2:SF but the screenshots did not seem convincing, all those new weapons/gadgets after one week will not seem that special, and I dont play dark foggy maps, if you ever used real night vision before, you will notice a small light source can produce a big glare and its harder to see, in bf2 it appears its just a green filter with 3x brightness on nightmaps, and I am very dissapointed in some features/glitches bf2 has, hopefully after patch #10 it will be decent but we do not know that yet.


        If you didn't have time to read my comments this is a small diagram showing what truly is better.

            CoD2?

            Let me tell you before you buy.

            CoD2 has a greneade "alert" everytime an AI enemy throws a grenade at you, the screen shows you where the grenade is so you can safely get away "LAME"

            Also another blooper, your health regenerates, if you have a massacre of 5 enemies, you take them all out and you are on the lowest possible health, but you wait behind a wall for 5 seconds, you can take other 5 enemies rushing! NO WORRIES ACTIVISION HAS SETUP A FREE HEALTH GENERATOR SO YOU NEVERDIE!

            *looks down*

              I was basing that on how far I had gotten which is towards the end I think so I know nothing about the ending. I only stated that I though fears single player made it great in my opinion and the SP was only slightly better then quake 4 to me. Story wise it sucked and quakes was pretty good (specialy when you get captured) but I was basing that on gameplay moreso. Dont get me wrong I love quake 4 and its probably one of the games I go back and beat again but I thought that fear was new and refreshing vrs standard FPS. Asides that I dislike fears multiplayer and love quakes. And both will be better then bf SF since its just going to be a buggy xpac.

                In real life you can more clearly hear and see grenades due to your better sences than games are even capable of giving you. In trade for that they make it so they have the grenade indicator. Its not like its the most noticable thnig ever.

                I agree, this addition sucks.

                    i agree w/ simio1337. fear was crap.

                    sure i couldnt hear much because mum wont let me play w/ sound because it disturbs her watching dr phil on the TV right next to the monitor (the laptop is in the kitchen) but even without being able to hear anything i could tell the story was crap. i could see these ppl talking and stuff and it was boring.

                    it was also really dark, i couldnt see anything because mum likes to have the windows open and the sun would glare off the screen. thats a fault they she have picked up in beta.

                    did i mention how easy it was? because i couldnt see or hear anything i died alot at first so i put it on very easy and turned on godmode and gave myself unlimited ammo. i finished the game so fast.

                    scary? it wasnt scary at all. everytime it went to a cutscene or something i just watched dr phil w/ mum because i couldnt hear anything anyway. obviously another flaw in the game that should have been fixed in beta.

                    and dont say its my system either. my laptop (well mums work laptop) is a PENTIUM 2ghz. thats two gillion hurtz!

                      Quake 4: stopped playing halfway, very boring, linear hallway-room-hallway shooter.

                      F.E.A.R.: basicly the same hallway - room - hallway principle but lots of new additions like smart enemies, bullet time, all sorts of melee attacks and the supernatural twist make it more interesting. SP definately the best of all the three games.

                      BF2 SF: I don't like the MP in Quake 4 or F.E.A.R. so this is an easy choice if I want to play MP. Although I still think the expansion is too early, first you fix the original and than you ask for more money.
