<casting redemption>

Over winter, I have had an urge to find a new game to pass some time. Oddly, I fell back into the trap of WoW Legion. To this day, the game simply amazes me with the vast amount of content built into it. I tested one of the xpacs before Legion and it was a huge bust, but Legion is hard to step away from. I enjoy the ability to respec and play essentially three roles on one toon. Anyone still playing it besides me?

Anyone else want to update their top games?

1. Homeworld- Under appreciated 3d space RTS. One of the few games that I'd build a new PC to play the sequel
2. Civ 2 - So many hours playing just one more turn
3 Baulder's Gate - best RPG to date
4. X- wing alliance
5. KOTOR 1 and 2

Resurrecting a 6-year-old thread? OK.

- Ultima V
- Civ 2
- QuakeWorld
- Half Life (the original)
- TIE Fighter

I don't think I can limit it to 5 though, and since the newest game above is 20 years old I'll add:

- Kerbal Space Program

--Ian

(edit: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night belongs on this list too, but I can't figure out what I'd delete. Drat, so does the original Deus Ex)

Problem with Planetside 2 has always been that you get thrown in with the wolves regardless of your equipment and level. When I first played it I was against players with very good equipment. I remember coming out of the spawn and getting shot by like 5 players with snipers.

Sunderer spawns bruh. I'll admit that the game will absolutely chew up and spit out new players. Once you can get a solid crew of 3-6 people working together it's a game changer. There is nothing more satisfying than overrunning a giant base and even an entire continent with ALL the people on your team working together. No other game in history has been able to achieve team aspect that PS2 did in my opinion.

My top 5:

Battefield Bad Company 2
Starcraft (brood war expansion too)
Medal of Honor Allied Assult
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
GTA 3

It's very difficult to nail down top 5, historically these are my favorite. I guess modern games just aren't doing it for me.

True, for best experience have to roll with a team. I've always been solo, i'm a loner, which made it really hard. Even in Libs, MBTs, harassers - I would seat hop back to driver/pilot after firing off as gunner.

So planetside is one of those really rare games where it's not Pay2Win. I've had every piece of equipment because I've played so long on two factions (NC and TR), but at the end it was the skill that made all the difference. I could be fully decked out in best armor and guns and go against a top player with pistol and still end up dead. It took me for eF-ing ever to learn to fly and then become good at it, but I could hold my own against real aces in the game and take on multiple air targets.

What made a huge difference for me is learning to be less predictable, thinking of angles and approaches (even as infantry) that would be unexpected and exploiting them. On bad days - I would be dying to newbs, but on good days I would go against a squad or two and take out their armor and infantry until they give up and redeploy. Otherwise going head to head against someone who has good aim is pure suicide. At close to 40 years old, my reaction is not what it used to be when I was 20. Still was able to keep KDR around 3.0. Too bad I've quit gaming because life....

My favorite play -
1) Light Assault in an ESF
2) Infiltrator with semi-auto rifle in short to mid range including CQC
3) Light assault with SMG (especially towers and biolabs) and Icarus pack
4) Heavy with LMGs

I was in a lot of sniper only servers on MOHAA. I played MOHAA from release date all the way up until around 2008ish. Had a good run.
BC2 i was a hardcore player.
