can't believe that there are people out - that obviously have knowledge about computers (posting on amiga.org should qualify you for that) - still using windows. after so many years of having tons of alternatives :sealed:

I dont think there are enough alternatives due to lack of software on anything but Windows. I personally use Windows for games and Linux for mostly everything else.


if you want to play, get a playstation... or *drummroll* a classic amiga. i am not into 3d games, tried them, but i think they suck. nothing new since the doom days. just mixed in a bit of this and that genre and a little graphics update. but as long as you disconnect your windows box from net, playing games is one thing. running a webserver is a complete other thing.

i am just wondering, if there is no alternative for windows, how have i managed, as someone working in software industry, to be windows free for more than 7 years (don't even remember exactly). i must be some kind of abnormal human beeing then :lol:

@catherder

i never played planetside, but i have played other 3d multiplayer war games, i several times took part in a match of savage2 with more then 60 players per party... wasn't impressed too much... still a stupid firstperson/realtime strategy mix. some friends of mine play mmorpg's a lot and i hear them whining about cheaters often. in fact i was a gpl league racer for some time and was confronted with some cheaters. this is why i prefer a 5 player dynablaster with friends over a mmorpg with unknown cheaters a lot. and i still do prefer getting to know new people in real life.

what exactly is the new concept behind battlefield 2?

Those games are just two examples of the 20-30 new generation first person shooter type games that make *anything* ever to appear previously on any computer platform (or console) look like a bad game of Pong.


thats what i am saying... they LOOK better, but they don't PLAY better. the fun in games is a very personal matter, i understand people that are into 3d games. i am not and i think they are not necessary. 3d is now looking as good as handdrawn graphics, but for what price (literally ;) )

@coldfish:

the usual answer from people that have no arguments, personal attack.

no i don't have seen them all, but i have seen a lot and following the gamescene closely. as i started my computer career as a game programmer, i have still friends working in the industry providing me with information. believe me, if you would know me, you would know that you are messing with the wrong guy about having tried nothing new in 7 years, but you don't know me, thats why i prefer personal contact, also in gaming :lol:
