Title: Serious question
Post by: JGE on January 19, 2008, 10:58:26 PM
What's the gameplay like in Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, and TF2(Orange box)?

I was thinking of picking up one of these for the Xbawks but I'm afraid they might mess my Halo skills if I play them too much.   

Is the transition smooth? I don't want to play Call of duty for a long time then bomb in a ranked Halo match (ratio dropped to a 1.11 today)

also any other FPS slipping my mind

Don't buy The Orange Box on the 360 if you want it only for TF2. PC version is better.

Bioshock is fun while it lasts, but its really short. And it felt like a chore to me to go through the game a second time.

CoD4 is quite fun, though. Best military shooter ever. thumbup;

I played it for a straight week for a couple of hours a day, and I still had quite a ways to go.

Maybe it's just that I love exploring areas, but Bioshock really isn't short at all.

Also, The Orange Box and Bioshock are best for PC.

I also explored all the areas and beat it within 12 hours of game time. doodthing;

Its a short game. Unless you loved it so much that you would wanna play through it over and over, it probably won't last you that long.

Once you play CoD4, you won't want to go back to Halo 3.

I won't except that "My PC sucks" shit without proof. Unless your running a fucking Windows 98 on a 3200 you probably can play all of the orange box games at med-low settings with little to no FPS drops. If not upgrade your fucking PC you lazy bastard.

I'm a rank Major with only two wins away from getting my grade 2, plus I need to pick up my ratio back to a 1.12

1.) I don't feel like turning my Laptop into a elite gaming PC
2.) I don't have the money, time, and patience to upgrade my PC
3.) You're a faggot.
4.) Read above
5.) I need more achievements
6.) I have a much better pace and handing with Console FPS

Call of Duty 4, the control setup is a little different from Halo 3. The "x" button is reload in CoD4 and sometimes in Halo that messes me up.


Anyways just get Bioshock.
