Haven't you been waiting for this game forever? I recall about a year or two ago you were mad because they pushed the release date forward.
What are you currently playing?

Wasn't me. If I didn't get a beta invite, I wouldn't be buying the game. I generally never liked RTS games, since I never really played them, but I decided to give this a go. And I'm loving it.

I definitely recommend it. Unfortunately, the beta just ended today, which sucks since it doesn't come out for another week, and I wanted to get better at the game before launch. Though.. there may be alternatives, lol.
Check out some videos, see if it's something you can get into.

How is that? I've been debating on getting it, but don't know how different it is compared to COD or BF. Also was unsure on how active it is.

I'm going to be playing Sniper: Ghost Warrior once it finishes downloading
Tell us what it is like once you played it!! I can get it for £20 from Game and still have my Game card that a friend gave me for building his computer, so may go get it, however was looking at getting a gaming surface also, but don't know if it will fit on my desk, or if it is worth it.
Just reinstalled WoW, time to get updating

Alien Swarm, It is free, fun, has a full sdk and map builder and I think I may build a campaign for it. It requires team work and strategy, which is something that is refreshing from most modern games.
Most modern games that are team versus, hardly use team play. This game requires it, sort of like Left 4 Dead, which is why I am totally digging it.

i thought it was pretty cool. graphics remind me of bc2 a little bit in which they don't seem to be as refined as say cod6 (in my opinion). i thought the sniping was pretty awesome and the heatshot camera is very satisfying. the stealth is sort of a meh. you can hide in the bushes but they seem to be able to spot you pretty easily. the run and gun missions are the worst though. they just aren't as good as the stealth/ sniper missions. overall i was glad i got it.

Oh I forgot about Alien Swarm, it is a brilliant game, it sort of remind me of the zombie survival games on WC3. It is really really fun to play with friends.
hmmm is it not really that refined then so far as "realistic" sniping goes? Meaning the actual sniping, so the distance, drop, wind etc is all pretty good, but the actual build up and waiting for it is not so good?
If that is the case, I think I will pass. The shots are good, but a game like that will always be about the journey, stealth and build up to it rather than the actual shot

i was talking about the graphics like the trees and things like that don't seem refined. the game does take into account the wind, gravity, and distance. for the easy and (i believe) normal settings, there is a red dot that will appear to help indicate where the bullet will hit but i think for the hard setting there is no dot. you also have to deal with your heart rate. when calm, it will be about 80 beats per minute, leaving a very steady gun. but after running a bit and instantly looking in the sight, you will be all over the place, forcing you to try and maybe get a torso shot in or to just wait a little bit for your heart rate to go down. the actual gameplay was very realistic (as far as i can tell). i was just talking about aesthetics.

It's rather good compared to original ArmA 2. ArmA is a game that is extremely realistic. It is totally different than CoD and BF as people actually work together, relying on each other's services (ex: flying choppers and bringing in teammates into the objective) to complete the tasks.
There are 4-5 servers that are populated most of the times I'm on.

Terrible terrible game...shouldn't be called Sniper as there is no skill involved at all. I was hoping for a game more like Sniper Elite.
Update on my games
The Witcher (not as great as people claim)
Counter Strike 1.6 (man I suck now
)Just Cause 2
Divinity II - Ego Draconis

that was a pretty epic game. but i didn't think it was all that bad. still a fun shooter, even if the sniping was really easy.
