My actual one

Yes, i'm now a Killzone fan. :smt067

How good is Killzone in your opinion, Johnny? I hear that the A.I. sucks ass, and you cant drive vehicles. When you run out of vehicles, you run out of fun!

I custom scripted my Insignia theme and added my own modifications. I'd post it for you but my laptops been out of service *points to journal* for a long freaking time... curse my potty mouth...

I haven't played a lot (only played for like 10 minutes, on a game store). One thing is sure, it's not HALO. This doesn't mean the game is bad, but it isn't perfect either.

Pros:
Incredible ambience. Great artistic direction;
Weapons have great impact, tons of firefights;
Amazing sound (weapons, music, ...)
Nice multiplayer system

Cons:
unstable frame rate (the game is too heavy for a PS2).
very basic AI, some times very stupid;
It's a FPS very dependent on scripts and it's very linear.

In fact, the head of Guerilla games is the uncle of a friend of a friend of mine (Guerilla is Dutch yes :smt033 ) but he hasn't given me a free copy unlike some other friends of mine got :smt067

My desktop at home is even lamer than in college:

Wallpaper? What's a wallpaper!?

**Mr. Casual** · 12-23-2004

Why dont you have one, then?

**madhatter256** · 12-23-2004

Heh, bit torrent.

**Zilog Jones** · 12-23-2004

One of them's RetroCore :smt023

And about the wallpaper, and lack of - well I got a new hard disk last summer, including the re-installing of everything. I just kinda forgot about a new wallpaper since then...

I really should go to bed! Note the time on that picture...

**Mr. Casual** · 12-23-2004

Funny, its bed time in America, too. :smt043

Just noticed you play BF1942. Wat servers do you play in?

**Zilog Jones** · 12-23-2004

Random ones. I just choose whatever map I want to play with a decent number of people playing and good enough ping. I play it more often than Vietnam though - maybe it's because I like the maps better, or maybe it's just cause my Pentium III is too crappy for Vietnam...

**madhatter256** · 12-23-2004

Do you have the Secret Weapons expansion game? If so, see if the ping for ya is good for the EA servers for that game. I play in those servers a lot.

**Zilog Jones** · 12-23-2004

I don't have it at the moment, but I'm getting it soon (and no, those BitTorrents aren't anything to do with that!). I've got Road to Rome too, but I don't play it much.

Road to Rome sux IMO as well as 90% of all BF fans out there. You'll like Secret Weapons. DO you also play Desert Combat and the other mods out there for the game?
