Whats a good xbox fps game? I love Halo but we are getting bored with the maps. I want something thats more like counterstrike on the PC. I went and bought Ghost Recon last week but thats squad based tactics. I didn't realize that before I bought it, probably should have rented it first. :-\ I want something more like counterstrike. I can't worry about what my other 2 guys are doing. When one of them takes out a target I don't get the feeling that I accomplished anything. I don't want unreal tournament and I am dissapointed in Mechassault. Many of the things that made mechwarrior a good game on the PC were left out of mechassault on the xbox. I was never a big mechwarrior fan any way. Splinter cell looks like a sweet game but I need multiplayer. In summary what I want is to play counterstrike on the xbox. I had to quit playing online on the PC because the cheaters were making me mad. Mad to the point where you can't play against anyone because some people are that good but most of them are cheating or exploiting every little thing that they could. I don't mind being beat when its a level playing field. In fact I lose a lot, I just can't stand taking a beating from some punk junior high kid because he found a cheat that someone else created. |

In general I find FPS's on the xbox frustrating becaue of the controller. Its just no comparison to a mouse/keyboard setup. Have you actually tried Unreal Tournament? There are many play modes (team based sounds like what you want here). They even have a cool "football" type mode. Rent it and see what you think. |

yeah, it takes getting use to the controller. I got use the the ps2 controller for red faction, but there still is no interface better thana mouse and keyboard for fps. |

Random fragging just because you got the biggest gun is no fun. Microsoft has ruined a few games on the xbox because of this. Cell damage moves to fast to play, whacked moves to fast. Both of those would have been ok games if they weren't moving so fast. Halo has a bunch of team modes but you need more than 2 on 2 to play capture the flag. Halo has oddball and king of the hill. We've mostly been playing 2 on 2 with 2 xboxes. I love the xbox controller for Halo and I've been wanting to try that controller with a FPS on the PC I just haven't gotten round to it. It seems like it would work. I've been playing fps'ers since Castle Wolfenstein 3d. I played all the classiscs Quake, Quake2, Duke Nukem, ROTT, Redneck Rampage (one of my favorites), Half life and its billion addons especially Team Fotress and counterstrike. Once I started getting into the team games the random frag fest variations are only good for an occasional play. I think the key to the xbox controller is setting your look stick sensitivity. Most people don't know that setting is there. If you crank it up you can spin around a lot faster. Crank it to far though and your guy is difficult to control. Kind of like setting your mouse sensitivity which I always had cranked to max. The problem I had with a mouse was I hated to pick it up to move it back to the center of the mouse pad. I switched to a optical thumb trackball for a long time because of that. Still had to pick my thumb up off the ball occasionally which usually happened at inopportune times. Eventually I went back to a mouse when I got an optical one that was much more sensitive and didn't decide to gum up during shoot outs. |

There is a distinct lack of FPS on xbox. Actually unreal championship is supposed to be pretty decent - it's more like UT2003 not the original UT. Which means it's like team arena :) Ugh - I could have warned you about ghost recon - I play it on my PC. It's definitely fun and tension-filled but not fast paced. Maybe you could trade it up for a new game. I'd recommend Jedi Knight outcast - it's pretty fun on the PC and I can only imagine it's the same on xbox. there are other weapons than sabers. I hear Brute Force is the next big halo - or you could just wait for HALO 2 :) |
