I'm looking for less hardware-intensive FPS's that I can play on an older laptop. I just beat Halo:CE and I want to move on to something else, so far I've played
>Halo
>Half-Life
>Doom
where should I go from here? I'm thinking maybe
<Battlefield 2.
Any suggestions?

The original Star Wars Battlefront 2 is the absolute best. Fun campaigns, fun Galactic Conquest mode, fun everything. If you have an Xbox Hueg I'd recommend you get it on there; the couch co-op is awesome.
>Amid Evil
One of those nu-retro FPS that have been cropping up but it's pretty good. Not great but entertaining enough.
>Dusk
Another one, but where Amid Evil tries to be Hexen, Dusk tries to be Quake+Blood. I like it a bit less than Amid Evil but it's alright.
>Painkiller
If you haven't played this you're a fag.
>Battlefield 1942/2/2142/Vietnam
Since they all have pretty good bots you can pirate away and they're pretty fun. 2142 might be harder to pirate since I believe it had a master server for unlocks and shit, but that's fine because Vietnam was my favorite anyway.
>STALKER
Shadow of Chernobyl is one of the most immersive, atmospheric and fun FPS games I've ever played in my life, and there's a ton of good mods out there. Play it vanilla first though.
>Duke Nukem 3D
You already know.
>Blake Stone
One of the older Apogee FPS games, I actually liked this one better than Doom back in the day.
>Rise of the Triad (the original)
It's weird, annoying, and fun. Cool weapons.
>Serious Sam
They're all really good. Also have good co-op.
>Unreal Tournament 99
Assault mode was the shit.
>Unreal Tournament 2k4
The weird football-type gamemode was the shit.
>Hexen
It's Heretic, but more of it.
>Heretic
It's Doom, but with magic and imps.
>System Shock 1 or 2
1 has a great story but its controls have aged badly. 2 still stacks up as a solid game in every way.
>Condemned: Criminal Origins
Taze hobos then beat them to death with desk drawers.
>Descent 1+2
They aren't exactly FPS but they're fucking awesome.
>F.E.A.R.
The first one, and its expansions, are still some of the most technologically interesting and spectacular games in the industry. They're a bitch to get to work on a modern system but if you can you're in for awesome slow-mo gunfights, where hanging lights are swinging around like crazy, pieces of the walls are falling off and the dust is rising into the air.
>Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
All KICK memes aside, it's still a really fun FPS.

Accuracy? My issue with vanilla Stalker is how enemies rarely seem to react to your attacks, which is why I found the game much more enjoyable with rifles and snipers that drop enemies in fewer shots.

In SOC you can't consistently get headshots at 20 metres standing still and scoped in with rifles. Makes it impossible to quickly and skillfully dispatch enemies.

Counter strike is an shitty arcadey FPS with stupid mechanics. Designed solely around the concept of being a competitive game where people jerk off over how many AWP kills they can get.

>2 on Legendary is fun
Halo 2 is fucking shit no matter the difficulty and Legendary is even worse since nothing was designed around it so you have sections of which the pacing, which is already shit in most sections, becomes horrid.
The game itself is godawful with no tone, half baked mechanics, shit writing and bareloy any improvements over the first game, if anything it even has downgrades like useless weapons and vehicle physics being completely fucked, that last became the norm and the Warthog physics ever since have become a joke compared to the first game.
Halo 2 is a fucking wreck aside from, arguably, it's multiplayer.
It was rushed as shit and had tons of issues so I can't really blame it for it, but the amount of cocksucking it gets is beyond my comprehension.
This is a game with 6 or so elevator sections, where you teleport everywhere with no coherence or reason and vehicle sections that amount to shooting two enemy vehicles at a time while waiting 3 minutes inbetween waves.
Even the Scorpion was gimped and is slow as fuck, with it's sections in the campaign being some of the worse in any Halo game.

I finished Quake today and liked it well enough. I accidentally stumbled upon Arcane dimensions, a mod for Quake and it's amazing just how good it is. I'm playing the second mission and I'm loving it. Feels like the mechanics of the game are actually being used to their fullest potential. Already better than the base game.
Before trying Arcane Dimensions I tried Quake 2 and it sucked. Does it get better? Should I reinstall it?

Yes, as long as you don't expect the original Quake. But upon reflection the original Prey was a much better swansong of traditional shooters and if you haven't played it then that's preferable. Quake 4 is a perfectly alright game and it's worth playing once at least.

How have we gotten this far in the thread without C&C Renegade having been mentioned? This is a game whose multiplayer I wish to hell was still popular. The single player is worth playing through, I think, as janky as it was at times. What I don't know is if it's easy to find or not. I dunno if there was a digital copy ever re-released, come to think of it, but it was popular enough that I'm sure there're torrents somewhere. Kingpin's another old FPS that was supposed to be decent when it came out–I couldn't find a copy back in the day and so never played it.
>>16864292
Sin–the first one at least–is I think a forgotten classic. It didn't push any boundaries very hard, and it admittedly had some pretty lame parts. The story wasn't anything to write home about, but it did progress during the game, which was still fairly novel for an FPS. Had its own one-off cartoon, too. I think it would be a nice old FPS to play through. Can't speak to the first episode of the newer Sin, though.
Speaking of gore, does anyone remember Gore: Ultimate Soldier? For some reason I remember playing a ton of the demo of that one, even though it was pretty much a garbage game. My understanding is that it was released as freeware at some point, so even though nobody bought it there ought to be places where you can still get it. I have a soft spot for bad FPS games, though, including my actual physical copy of Daikatana that's around here somewhere.

Although not a "pure" shooter, I'm still surprised it has yet to be mentioned. After playing it with the excellent GMDX mod recently, I can now safely say it's within my top 5 games of all time. Maybe even my favorite. That is, with the mod. Vanilla is great too though and worth at least one playthrough.

I never actually beat that. I got pretty far but aside from the alien world, I don't think the combat was particularly compelling. It also has some seriously bad setpieces and boss fights. I dropped it after getting bored and fed up. What a shame.

Unreal Tournament is so good, it's not even funny. I used to replay it every year. If the OP hasn't played it, he should definitely do that.

CnC Renegade is interesting and fun enough but not really worth mentioning in a thread that contains some of the best games ever made. The MP is where it truly shined and that is dead. Didn't it get a fan-made port to UE3 a few years back?

Yes, but the focus was on multiplayer and that's deader than dead now. If you like crappy but enjoyable shooters then I'd recommend Firestarter, which was made by the Stalker devs. Codename: Outbreak isn't crappy, it's one of the best cooperative FPS games out there, but it's also from the same devs and worth checking out.

Both were made by devs in Ukraine, so it's entirely possible they shared some staff. The game development scene must have been pretty small there back then. I think most of them remained to work on Stalker though.

That shit was great. I think CTF is honestly the weakest mode, despite being pushed as the meat and potatoes of the series. Maybe because I was never great at it or didn't play with good/dually organized teams but the ruleset did not seem to incentivize switching up your tactics. I don't think there was a score limit or any other mechanic that may have incentivized trying to say focus more on defense or offense based on what was happening. It doesn't help that a lot of the CTF maps seemed to be mostly uninspired and slight variants of the 2fort formula.
Either way I enjoyed the fuck out of everything else in that game.

>Campaign of 2 better than 1
No, 1 is an open ended sandboxy linear game with some good spacing.
2 is a fucking corridor filled with useless clutter, no pacing and shit weapons.
I'd rather play Guerrila Fightan Aliens on ancient World than Super Epic Teleport around the Galaxy Superhero shit.
Just the godawful vehicle sections and the elevators/gondola sections are enough to make me puke.
Halo 1 had various ways of travelling through some sections and various enemy positions to deal with on it's sandbox, Halo 2 is a fucking corridor from beginning to end.

Maybe a dumb question but is there a good alternative to Sven Co-op or something? It is tiring to see that the only modded servers available for it are lame RPG mods where any player can achieve god mode by grinding enough kills.

Define "older"
If it's made in the last decade it can honestly probably run most of the shit in halo MCC at least at lower res's and framerates too
>>16862355
You what, H2 legendary is just sadistic artificial difficulty. I love the series and 2 in particular but it's a mess on legendary

> no tone…shit writing
Bullshit. It's got multiple intersecting narrative threads which aside from the ending are well managed, you have multiple competing factions going against each other in one of said threads; the arbiter undergoes actual character development (even if only to a basic level) and has a character arc; and the actual writing of the dialog is extremely memorable and well written; and there's good use of envoirmental storytelling mid missions and general symbiolism(the contrast between the medal ceremoney and the Arbiter's shaming, etc)
It's not high art but it's got a hell of a lot more going for it then the writing and narratives in most games.
>and bareloy any improvements over the first game,
Again, bullshit. Beyond actually having a fucking plot and a cast of characters and narrative beyond 1 central twist in CE; you have more enemy and weapon variety, VASTLY improved level design and environments which actually feel like real areas and not generic video game rooms/hallways, fill the wide open empty ass outdoor areas of CE with actual geometry such as cliffs, walls, buildings, etc to provide for cover and change combat up, and indoor spaces also aren't the same 3 copy pasted rooms and hallways with identical layouts and textures.
Everybody always shits on the Arbiter missions in 2, but it should fucking say somethingf that their core flaws is shit CE suffers from for it's ENTIRE CAMPAIGN.
The only way 2 ISN'T an improvement over CE is as you say, it's weapon balance.
>Vehicle physics
CE's vehicle physics are, while servicable, pretty unstable, shit flies and careens off too easily.
>This is a game with 6 or so elevator sections
Yes, the Gondalas and eleveators sucks, but i'd rather sit on a moving platofm a fight off a few waves of enemies every few missions then suffer through fighting the same 3 enemy types with the same 3 guns in the same 3 rooms like 30 times in EVERY mission like in CE.

>No, 1 is an open ended sandboxy linear game with some good spacing.
End this fucking meme, i'm so god damn sick of hearing it
1 isn't any more """""""""""""sandboxy"""""""""""" then 2 is aside from Mission 2 (which only amounts to you choosing the order of objectives and the entire open bit is LITTERALLY completely empty as far as functional content goes) in CE:
Both games fundamentally have a set of linear objects you go through, and 2's outdoor playspaces are often just as large or larger then CE's: The slums throughout almost all of Outskirts, the beach at the end of it, the cityscape of Metropolis and the park you run through, the bits you make actual landfall on in Delta Halo and Regret, the outdoor sections of Sacred Icon and Quaratnine Zone and Uprising, most of The Great Journey.
All of of those playspaces are in the same ballpark as the shit in, say, the ones in Assault on the Control room and Two Betrayls, they just actually fill those spaces with geometry instead of having a giant empty ass open field where you and elites take potshots at each other and there's no cover or elevation differentials to make the combat interesting.
And speaking of Assault on the Control Room and Two Betrayls, those are the only 2 missions in CE with big open outdoor playspaces that actually fucking matter, with The Silent Cartographer having one (flat empty) beach combat section at the start and it otherwise, and the oiutdoor sections of Truth and Reconzillation and Keyes otherwise being just as much if not MORE segmented and packed together then the outdoor spaces of 2, aside from, again, Halo (the mission)'s huge, empty ass giant connecting field which NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS IN.
>Halo 1 had various ways of travelling through some sections
So does 2 you asswipe, and most of CE's just ends up being "walkng through empty field to the left instead of the right". The only exceptions being Halo (the mission's) alternate orders which don't change any of the combat, just when you do sai combat, and the exploits on Silent Cartographer to skip shit.
If you wanna bring up SC's shit, then I can bring u[p the alternate routes via the roofs on Outskirts, for instance.
