Well the topic says it. Today I got an overwelming urge to play a great PC FPS again. I've been such a 360 geek the past year and a half, and haven't played my PC at all really.

I was thinking about STALKER, but I never upgraded my PC, so I'm running a AMD 4000+, 6800 512, Gig o' ram. How do you guys think it will play for me? I'm in between the minimum and recommemded, but I want to make sure I'll have a good mixture of graphics and gameplay.

Thanks guys, I'm in a big hurry, so I thought I would post this quick.

Erm, I recommend either Call of Duty 1 + 2. Theres still a huge community playing those online, and they are still fun, holding their own even today

And they have relatively low spec requirements too.

Well on my old card, which was a 7800GTX 256mb, I could run most of the sliders to 3/4, its also going to depend on what resolution you play at, I was playing at 1280x1024 then. You could definitely play it, especially with this little mod http://www.thefloatingpoint.org/main/download.php?view.24

STALKERs going to be either a hit or miss for you though, just remember its a PC gamers game, its not very forgiving so its easy to get frustrated with, keep with it and you should love it.

Counter Strike Source.

Alien vs Predator 2 :P

Such an old game, but so much fun. It runs on my POS PC with integrated video card (IDK, 64 or 128 MB at best)

Oh for online play, nothing beats out Day of Defeat. Go for that one if you want a online experience.

Well, I had COD 1 and sold it, I never really got into the gameplay.

I've spent countless hours on CS:S, I have DoD also, but I never really got into that game too much. I'm not very big on class based games, plus DoD was reaaaally fast paced. So I want something new, hence STALKER.

I saw in another topic that you said STALKER was a strict PC gamers game, which originally roused my interest in it. I'm gonna check out that mod.

Ok, what exactly is this float mod??

...System Shock 2.

Old game, but the best. EVER. PERIOD.

Also Dues Ex.

Thief is fun, but not really an FPS.


Ive heard really good things about Stalker, but i've never played it.

Its a mod that improves performance by at least 20%, does a lot of other graphical enhancements as well, its more than worth it.

If you haven't already, you should check out Deus Ex.

ooo I forgot about Thief. I have tried SS2 before, but never Deus Ex.

I just realized last night you can buy STALKER on steam. nice.

Team Fortress 2.

Yep, I have that also. Got it with Orange Box.

Ghost Recon Gold Edition. 'Nuff said.

HEHE I envy you PC gamers....as much as I love consoles PC was where it all started for me...I just can't keep up with the rate of upgrading you need so I've fallen so far behind in upgrades that I can't even play some of the games you guys are listing as old but good games... Need to get a serious gaming PC like my Uncle...he can play crisis no probs.

Well to my surprise, Mass Effect has quite the dark atmosphere, and to even more of my surprise, ME feels like it was made for the PC, they did a awesome port job.

Heres some screens a took. (40-60fps)

Yah from what i have heard the PC version actually plays better than the console version. I have yet to test that out though.

I downloaded STALKER from steam. I got the float mod also, it only took about 2 minutes to download and install, did I do everything right?

u shouldtn have gotten stalker. it is not a good game. its just not an all around good shooter. you should have gotten crysis
