Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, Serious Sam, Ghost Recon, Far Cry 1, 2, and more 60% off!

Do you like shooting things? Most gamers do, which makes the mainstream media overly excited and judgemental far too often. But let's not go there. We know that gaming shootouts are kept well-within the boundaries of virtual worlds and are all about fun, challenge, and feeling bad-ass while you relax in front of your computer screen. So, putting aside all controversy around first-person perspective shooters, let's jump right into action with 21 games that go "pew pew pew", "ra-tatatah", and "boom" for your entertainment. This weekend, you can get them with an explosive 60% off discount in our [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/fps_legends_weekend_promo_221113]Spectacular FPS Shootout promo! Let's take a look on some of the titles, shall we?

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault - War Chest takes you to the fronts of World War II and let's you take part in some of the allied forces most crucial operations. The game became famous for creating a believable and suggestive image of battle conditions with a real infantry soldier in the role of the game's hero. The War Chest edition includes the original campaign that will take you from German bases in Algiers, through the D-Day landing in Normandy, to the occupied France, and both Spearhead and Breakthrough expansions. Enlist now, for only $3.99!

Too much realism for your taste? You prefer fast-paced action with hordes of enemies coming for your bad-ass protagonist and absurdly overpowered weapons at his disposal to cut the baddies to little pieces? No problem! We've got you covered with Serious Sam: The First Encounter and Second Encounter, games that became famous exactly for the type of old-school gameplay you're looking for. Well, that and excellent epic level design. Only $ 2.39 each!

Far Cry is the game that changed the way people perceive video games, thanks to the astonishing CryENGINE. In terms of lifelike graphics, physics, advanced enemy AI, and sandbox style FPS-ing, there is "before Far Cry" and "after Far Cry". Far Cry 2 took the game realism to another level--fully destructible environment, wind, rain, day, and night that affect enemy AI, and a beautiful African setting. The game features a spectacular story presented in a huge single player campaign which takes form 40 to 70 hours to beat. Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition contains the full Far Cry 2 game, including all previously released patches and the Far Cry 2 Fortunes DLC with additional content like new weapons and vehicles. Pick both games for only $3.99 each.

That's just a small taste of all the hardcore FPS action you can get in our Spectacular FPS Shootout promo until Tuesday, November 26, at 4:59AM GMT. Don't miss out!

SpiderFighter: Choose the "Populated Servers" tab. I was in a couple of games last night, and they were pretty active...10 in one game and 13 in the other. As I write this, there are 45 active games going on, with 210 total players (anywhere from 1 to 20 players in a game). There's not going to be as many servers as there were back in the early 00's, but you can always start your own. :)

If you're not seeing the active games, or having trouble accessing a server, it might be your firewall. Alt+Tab while querying the servers to make sure it hasn't popped up asking for permission.

Controls can be changed to whatever you want by going to Options / Preferences / Controls...they always sucked out of the box, imo.

deathmyrk: Thank you. I didn't even notice the Populated Servers tab until you mentioned it. That's much better. I also did change the control scheme and it is much improved. I am using a labtop, so controls are sometimes a real pain. I am considering using a controller. I really prefer not to for PC games. I am going to play a few rounds this afternoon when classes are over. I got stomped to high heaven earlier today.
No problem! Just be aware you'll most likely continue to be pwned if you use a controller. Just saying. ;)

If you haven't yet, it's not a bad idea to play the single-player game. It will really get your skills honed for the public servers. As you've already discovered, the downside of this being such an old game is that the people who are still around are absolutely monstrous players.

You can also check "Spectator" on your player setup screen to just watch a multiplayer game (you'll be invisible to other players). That will let you get familiar with maps and strategies, too.

Yeah, my 2 Frag / 28 Death is proof that my FPS skills have become horrendously withered. To think ten years ago I used to decimate, and it is now I that have become the decimated. All that matters is that I am having a hell of a lot of fun getting torn to bits. I am definitely going to play single player though. I forgot how awesome this game was. I played a match with Mudvayne's "Dig" playing in the background. It was so wicked!
I take that back, mostly any song (with few exceptions) works amazing with UT99.
Anyone know what are the best keyboard keys to assign for strafing for FPS games? it seems Q and E just get in the way...

You're quite welcome. I honestly can't live without mouse turning and WASD controls on an FPS anymore.
Now I don't know how to chat in-game. I keep pressing tab and inputting comments but they don't show up. On UT99...

Thank you, again. I forgot how addictive this game was. 3 hours just went by in the blink of an eye.
Woah hang on a sec.. Unreal Tournament games have single player? Wha? They were the only games in the sale I didn't have specifically because I thought they were multiplayer only.

Yea. UT has single player and, as I have just discovered last night, co-op (Assault?) where a team works together to take down enemies. UT has so many maps, it's baffling.
