PS2's best shooter to GCN?
 

Apparently IGN reports that redfaction 2 is going to be coming to the cube in march. talk about weird. But great news for cube owners!

That's PS2's best shooter? If so then... I feel bad for PS2 owners.

Red Faction 2 is NOT PS2's best shooter. i couldnt care less if it goes to GCN

Ew.... Red Faction 2?

A port?

:unsure:

If it's on Pc (which I think it is) I'd rather play it with a mouse and keyboard.

So is it on pc? :unsure:

I thought Red Faction 2 was supposed to be pretty good... People are probably just like "Ewwwww" because Red Faction 1 got average reviews (although I still thought it was pretty fun, but it lacked enemy variety and such)... Meh whatever, I've never played 2... And chances are on NGC it will just have a bunch of framerate problems and such because it'll be a crummy port or something :p

Red Faction 2 sucks

and gekko...YOU are a PS2 owner, like it or not ;)

Man. I'm surprised this isn't getting better reactions from you guys. I really enjoyed Red Faction. I'm hoping the sequel will be as good.

Anyway, I guess that's just my 2 cents...

oh, Red Faction was pretty good...

Red Faction II was a major letdown

when was it announced?

Oh yeah, and Red faction is not Ps2's best shooter. TS2 is... unless we are talking best exclusive one. (well was the best excusive one)

Red Faction was amazing... Haven't played RF2 yet..

Red Faction = cool

Red Faction 2 = bleh

its pretty weird when a game's sequel emphasizes on the bad points of its predecessor and uses its good points in all the wrong ways.

Examples please.

all the cool aspects of the being able to blow up the evironments, walls, and such is used to a much crappier extent in RF2. sometimes its really just pointless, like the developers threw it into the game just to make people say "cool, i can blow up the walls and stuff!!"

plus it feels extremely linear. everything about RF2 just feels so dumbed-down compared to RF1. it just feels boring

I actually enjoy the hell out of Red Faction II, even moreso that Timesplitters 2 (which some decided to become VERY colorful for some reason)...

RF2 kicks ass most in multiplayer though (damn two-port PS2 and having to buy a multitap:mad: )..particularly this map called "WarGods" where you basically battle it out on one huge open area enclosed by mountains and two colloseum-type structures. The structures can be destroyed by rockets, of course, so there are no real hiding places.

Playing this stage with four peeps and two bots added on (you can only have 6 players max) causes more chaos than the four-on-four human bot wars I used to have in Perfect Dark some years ago...really good $hit; and I hope it's hits the Cube- or at least the Xbox...something with FOUR ports for once...:mad:

But the best shooter for PS2 I think is Turok, UC for Xbox, and Nightfire for the Cube.

-Official Ninja of [coming soon]....

dear lord.....Turok is HORRID...and Halo is MUCH better than UC

TS2 is good, and from what I hear, so is Nightfire

Hmm is the Bot AI better than Ts2? Cause Ts2's bots start to get a bit, um, easy. Even on the hardest level.

I think Ts2 may still have it beat for Multi-play just because of the amount of players it allows. I've played a 4 on 4 battle (all human) between 2 Ps2s... and a 6 on 6 Battle with 4 Ps2s.

Of course, it's hard to network. :D

I have an iLink, any played it 8 player at my house, when I played 12 player I was at a rental place. They let you take any game and play for one hour for one dollar. We decided to link up 4 Ps2s... my god it was insane.

We were at the level where you can controll the security cameras! I was on a 2 player TV, me and him decided to work the two cameras/drone guns. Got one guy on the machine gun, one guy guarding the case, and two runners. It was insane. We had to have played for 4 hours... most fun I've ever had with a FPS.

I played a network Halo game before, but due to the fact that I didn't know how to play that well, it wasn't as fun. Playing Humans on screens you can't see is so much better than playing the predictable computer.

But back on subect, if Red faction only allows 6, there is no way I can see it beating TS2... even in bot play, cause Ts2 allows you to put in 10 bots. Playing a good ol 4 on 10 game against the CPU is fun :)

turok is horrid. halo kills UC single player wise, multiplayer im going to give it to UC hands down. (i know halo doesnt go online, it still has a mp tho)

but id also say best FPS on xbox is UC

i cant really give one for each console tho. cuz if i buy a FPS its on PC. not a console.


and from what im hearing. best watch out for Unreal 2, thier focus on this one is single player. (UT and UC focus is on multiplayer) and thier goal is to make it the best single player FPS ever.

not sure if its coming out for any consoles tho. if it does it will prolly be Xbox. depending on how well UC does.

I didnt mind red faction, it was alright, they just needed some different enemies, and upgraded AI. I think i will at least give red faction 2 a rent when it is released.

I never like the first Red Faction.
