I used to be so amazing at deathmatch CoD2 that I could stand in the middle of the field of Carentan spinning around in circles shooting people on the horizon with an unscoped Kar98k. I would even jump upwards as I aim upwards just so I could point upwards and shoot up at the guys on the horizon a fraction of a second quicker.
I'd end up winning the deathmatch games (that's non-team deathmatch) with ratios like 65 kills and 87 deaths when the second placer would have like 25 kills and 1 death lol.
I sucked at not dying. I was just good at killing.
And if I'm not mistaken: at one point on the Xfire COD2 deathmatch rankings I was in the top 10 in the world. I was 17 at the time. So this was 12 years ago.
I never liked any other COD game since except I do remember playing either the original or third Modern Warfare game (can't remember which) and loving that skirmish mode that was similar to horde.
I also loved the zombie mode in Black Ops 1. But hated the campaign (I always hate the campaigns in non-oldskool FPSs). But even the zombie mode sucked ass in Black ops 2 for me. I also hated the alternative zombie map in Black Ops 1. Kino Der Toten is where it's at. Love that map.
COD1 was an awesome game to me at the time I played it. COD2 is just better though. But nowadays all CoD games bore me to death. There's the difference: Some games I temporarily think are awesome but later yawn at them (that's most games I get obsessed with actually)... but there are some games that, for me, stay awesome forever.
The original Unreal Tournament's Game of The Year edition kicks ass. As does Quake 3 Arena.
Still though, for me it's games like Doom, Heretic, Hexen and Duke Nukem 3D that rule the roost of FPS. I even enjoy the super old classic FPS that is Wolf3D and its awesome lesserknown counter part Blake Stone Aliens of Gold more than I enjoy the modern FPSs.
Now.... if I had to pick the most unique game I've ever played that is also one of my favorite games ever... it would be this:
It was famous for it having amazing graphics for the time of 1994. Especially when you consider the high res option. Most computers couldn't even run that at the time! It was high end stuff. Needed a lot of RAM too.
Paulpablo on AF has said that he remembers hearing about that aspect to the game but to me it's the gameplay that makes this game amazing and unique... even to this day. The closest I can get to this sort of gameplay is the game Sacrifice developed by Shiny Entertainment. But that was kind of a Magic Carpet and Populous the beginning sort of mix and it was very weird looking and it had as many differences as similarites. Nothing like Magic Carpet really but still as close as you can really get to ti!
Magic Carpet is so unique. One of my favorite unique things about this game is the fact that the levels are like little globes. In that it's from a first person perspective such as an FPS (except you're flying on a magic carpet of course)... but after you reach the edge of the map you can fly over to the other side... like it's a globe. They're literally mini worlds. It's so cool.
Anyway I totally recommend any fan of unique games with awesome gameplay however old to watch this video. I picked it up on GOG.com for cheap recently and it kicks butt as much as it ever did.
