Hello there! Im a big console gamer but i have bought myself a new Laptop and was thinking about trying a few on-line games on there to see what they are like as they are supposed to be better? I love Battlefield on the 360 and it is my favourite game but i see the Pc has loads of different styles on offer , can anyone suggest which one is the best or other similar games that i could try out , theres so much more choice im confused!!
Thanks in advance!

sooper....!!!

What are you chatting about? Your the one who got screwed over by some rookie Comet assistant who saw you coming from miles away! He saw you get out of your "M" reg Nissan primera wearing your Wifes leather gloves. You got sucked in for a crap lap top by "benjamin" the work experience kid, taken on full time out of sympathy ,who was days away from his P45, and your crazy purchase saved him from a career stacking shelves in your local Tesco. So really all you've done sooper... is save a young lad from being sacked. Oh, and bought a crap lap top that by this time next year will be as powerfull as a kitten sleeping. Well done sooper. Next time take criticism on the chin rather than slating people who just try and help you.
Blade !! I like the comments.

Sooper !! I think the bottom line here is that you didnt have a clue about machines or hardware spec when you originally posted this question. Hence the reason why you posted the question. If you have such a vast knowledge of your machine and gaming then you wouldnt need to ask about what games to get in the first place. So when you posted the question, people tried to help by finding out your hardware spec, thus being able to determine what games you could buy. The fact that you got so defensive about the comments from Mack would suggest to me you havent got a clue because if you did have a clue then you would know that it is a very valid question that Mack asked. Then when you realised that you had made a schoolboy error you tried to make everyone look silly by saying 'it was just a simple question'. So bottom line i think is to realise you havent got a clue, get a good machine, learn about computers and dont enter debates that you know nothing about.

Also seems like most people in this thread arent on your side so perhaps admit defeat and move on.

Blade, What a moron you really are. You appear to be incredibly childish with a rather over active imagination but no brains to back it up with. If you knew anything you would be dangerous.
If it makes you happy to keep making up scenarios of where i bought my machine from and what car i drive and me wearing my wifes leather gloves you carry on, sounds to me like you are a sad little boy who needs to get out more and experience real life rather than keep imagining what you think is going on. Very sad indeed , kids today.
Sooper Sooper Sooper!!

I love your passion! Your on the floor, your beaten, your hurt quite bad, your being slated left, right and centre and you keep coming back for more. In a strange way sooper.. I admire your courage. Rather than use my super "imagination" to make your life a misery... I wont on the basis that I think you've endured enough hurt for one thread. I recommend Theme Hospital as a great on line game. Not very demanding on specifications, you might want to check though to see if you can actually play online against other hospitals. Hope this helps.
Death- I didnt buy my laptop for gaming and i never said i did,

Blade - I havent wasted any money on the wrong machine as i didnt buy it for gaming,
**********************************************************************************************************************************
well not quite?
**********************************************************************************************************************************
I know fully well what the requirements/spec of a machine should be for gaming and once i had established that i spent a considerable amount of money on the right Laptop for my requirements
**********************************************************************************************************************************
that sounds to me like games were a part of the plan

.
Because you made it sound like you chose your laptop with gaming in mind and you mention Alienware and your are generally "giving it the big 'un" both Death and Blade would not be unjust in thinking that you had ******* a couple of g's on a laptop. Death was quite right high end laptops are not without their problems and Blade would appear to be questioning your choice due mainly to you "giving it" the MCSA ....ive got ���' s

Chill out...
Maybe your 3dmark score was poor or didnt run. No big deal
It runs doom a bit old but a great game.
Calm down on the rudeness and people will try to help.
If you had just been a little nicer or more honest in the first place....




BEST THREAD EVER,

Sooper, at 2am you just gave me the most entertainment ive had all day, (ok ive had a slow day) but anyway thank you.

I personally play battlefield 2 online and find it very good, you could also opt for battlefield 2042 which is the newest and based in the future, and therefore isnt to my liking, but if you like that kind of thing im sure its superb.
I am a bit late coming into this thread, but as a 5/6 year PC gamer I have a little knowledge of games out there that I liked.

I enjoyed Battlefield 2, but idoits as usual have killed the game for me.

I was playing Guildwars which is free intenet gaming, but unless your in a guild with others it can seem very isolating.

Forget World Of War Craft as they screw you for payment every month and it takes months of endless play hours only to be ignored by others in the game because you arent up to the magical 60 level.

SWAT 4 is a very good tactical first-person shooter and worth a good few hours of play.

Without being too rude to others in this thread, the endless crap that was spouted about your choice of computer to play on is just sad. The Mack, Death and Blade come across as the sad individuals you find quite a lot of in the world of PC gaming particularly on the internet. The Macks first notion about speed and type of Laptop you have is acceptable but he should have accepted your answer that your computer was capable of running the games your seeking and either shut up and sat down or gave you some ideas on choices he would recommend. I suspect he doesn't have a clue himself or the games he plays are rubbish.

Advice boys when asked a simple question either answer it or when given an answer to a question you ask accept it and get your heads out your respective backsides.

Babalou thanks for the comments! It was never my intention to end up in a slanging match like this and after using Answerbank for some time this is a first for me! I agree with what you have said and i think it is a bit sad that instead of just giving a few ideas of a games that are good i end up having to justify what machine i have etc etc! It was getting a bit tiresome i have to say! I think the Macks original comment was indeed a fair remark but as you say once i had said that i was sure that my machine could run any current game i thought that would be it, but oh no i couldnt have been more wrong! The idiots then turned up!
I assume Blade, Death and Guyrkp are all mates and they are quite entertaining in a bizarre sort of way especially the backward one Blade with his rather odd and worrying ideas.
Anyway thanks for the suggestions i have made a note of them and may try out the Swat 4 game and i am going to try one of the Battlefield games not sure which one yet especailly as the new one is out for the 360 in March i think this may already be out for Pc's. I hope you dont get too much grief from the simple ones now you have spoken your mind!
Thanks again! and its nice to know that there are some normal gamers out there.
Babalou..... 5 years experience.. and that qualify's you to give more advice than anyone else does it? At the end of the day dont come into this thread "late" as you put it and start dictating! Everyones entitled to an opinion and if people feel he has wasted money on a laptop or believe they would like to know his specifications before advising games is that not good advice in itself!! WHY RECOMMEND A GAME THAT WONT RUN ON HIS LAPTOP???!! Everyone in this thread tried to help and/or offered advice until Sooper turned ungrateful. Grow up Babolou and rather than fuel arguments in this thread, stick to giving advice as per your 5 years "vast" experience.
Snooper,

I don't worry about any abuse received from people such as Blade above. If your serious about getting into PC online gaming then you have to grow a very thick skin.

Good luck with the games you do decide to buy and play.

Babalou
"Good luck with the games you do decide to buy and play"

Oh my god.

Babolou... do you not have any friends? You've got your head so far up Soopers ar$e its disgusting.



This thread is now 31 postings long and out of that there are 13 that are nothing but abusing and pointless sniping comments.

Blade whatever age you are your acting like my 6 year old son - either grow up or shut up.

Babalou
babalou... Did you just sit there and count which postings where actually giving advice!!


I think Babalou you need to grow up, as my 5 year old daugter knows to check the specifications of a game before buying, to make sure it would work on our computer.

If you want to get nasty babalou then lets get nasty. How dare you think your someone WHEN YOUR BLATANTLY a nobody. Stick to giving advice with your vast experience (5 years!) rather then "trolling" around for arguments when everyone here, I repeat "TRIED TO HELP" before Sooper wouldn't answer our questions!
How cute, Sooper has some new freinds to back him up!!

Babalou !!!

If you look back over this thread you will notice that indeed it was Sooper who started to get a bit funny about this and suggest that the questions being asked were not relevant to his situation. So dont come in like the knight in shining armour suggesting that the rest of us are being unreasonable. He was the one that came back and said i know it all and shut up. Sooper should of ended this thread long ago. I think its funny that you and Sooper are being wound up so much on this thread. You have come into this thread being very aggresive. Your probably one of these console boys who hasnt got a clue aswell. My advice would be stay out and stop trying to make yourself look good.
Question Author
I think thats enough now i think this thread has gone on long enough and the simple question for a few good game ideas seems to be beyond some of the moronic people who have posted and obviously cant understand English.
But as Blade and Guyrkp have now turned their bullying and intimidating tactics on someone else i feel i have no other choice but to pull the plug on this.
Thanks to all the gamers who offered suggestions which is what i asked for, i will give some of them a go, of course thats if my rubbish machine can cope with them!!
Yeah right!
Im just gonna get myself a copy of the Ladybird book of Computers so i know as much as Blade and Co!
Happy New Year!
Nice answer Sooper !! Again trying to make everyone look silly. I think its obvious from this thread that indeed you dont have a clue about computers. So as i said go and learn about them. I cant comment on others but i think if we compared notes and qualifications on computing then you would look silly, so dont try and make me look silly. Good luck with your **** laptop. Happy new year.
neverwinter nights 2
babalou
oh dear...where do i start?
i have been on the pc scence for more than 3 times yourself and have dedicated far more time than most could or would, whilst still going out drinking/ Girls etc :)

i am always at the cutting edge of gaming and i know how a $hitty frame frame rate can ruin a good game and you got me Doom3 requires the same machine as f.e.a.r....
you tit

im sorry i tried to go beyond the normal level of knowledge and service from someone who gets paid for giving such advise. For FREE
im sorry sooper felt the need to be so rude after i nicely asked him to run a 20 minute test to make 100% sure!
never did understand that?
Question Author
I didnt run the test as if you knew anything you would know that most reviews in decent Mags etc give you the results of the 3D Mark tests you dick, why dont you go down to WH Smiths and get yourself up to date a bit. That was why i i tried to say nicely with exclamation marks !!!!!!! that i just wanted some ideas for games and not to worry about the Hardware side of things, for most people who have a basic grasp of English i think that would be enough and they could either suggest a game or move on.
Simple really , well i thought so at the time and here we are still are going over and over the same thing , dont you think lifes a bit short for all of this ? Its up to you?
i think what your saying is you knew the score already. Oh of course you did. Doom 3 (2004) and 3dmark06 (2006) would be side by side in decent! mags in Dec 06 :) you mug!
Why not just post the score then?

What is it!

What have you actually got?

Instead of keep givin it your usual rudeness followed by i just wanted to know some games .....

By the way
You are telling me to get up to date a bit???
Doom 3 its 3 years old! YOU lam3r
You must be going into retro WHSmiths!!!
