Whats the best game to start playing online?

[Bluey]

Just invested in a new computer and lie in wait to join the hoard with my broadband connection. So what should i play?

[Gifted]

go to a newbie server!!

but you will always get some top player in there taking the piss lol!

dont touch Quake 3 or UT as they been around along time and the genral standard pritty good on good servers!

BF1942 prolly the best!

but if you want a FPS (as in a deathmatch game)

id go with ut2003 seeing as it only been around a couple of months! although any one who played a fps before pick it up easy!

i think you just gonna have to get used to being trashed for a while! (if you playing a fps anyway)

we were all at that point once upon a time! CS might piss you off waiting for reapawns :rolleyes:

The last FPS i played online was AVP on a 56k modem and dont mean to brag ahem but i wasn't half bad.
Although things have changed a lot since then, ill be able to pick it up its just how good ill be thats the random variable. Practice it seems is the only answer here.

Never Mind! BF1942 looks cool though!

Day of Defeat is a good starter a HL mod WW2 based.
Plenty of FF Off servers about very suitable for New ppl to the game so not to get banned for TKing.
Come in and chat in #bydod or #multiplay i r always there :p

oh man dod rules :D i play it at mo with 56k pentium 2 and it rox :D but if ur not a fan of downloading loads of crap and updating etc then think before getting mods and such, i just got that tour of duty mod for halflife on demo cd, and theyv already updated it, and i cant b bothered to dl that half life updates...

UT for the most of if the community is alot more newbie friendly, and if you can handle it i recomend starting out on advanced servers as you'll learn skills quicker, and start to play at a higher standard alot more quickly than playing with people at your standard.

Zenti isn't the update for tod only 3-4mb's i could be wrong mind but im sure it was

[Iceman]

UT2003 is your best bet. New and gorgeous game, and 80% of the playing population seem to be clueless newbies. I'm sure you'll be owning all of them without much difficulty :)

[Zenti]

i dont know i gotta dl that and like a few of the hl updates too coz i never updated that...ever...coz no point :D im 56k so everythin takes millenia

[Steadders]

beginners luck is very good in online games i find, when i first got cs and ut i was so leet, now i just plain suck, but then again i never play online games anymore, so that might have something to do with it.

Once i get bloomin S***ty broadband working again (see post in networking and connectivity) ill be on there and trying my luck a bit i think!

[Gifted]

Bloody plug and pray, just not worth all the hassle and if i touch that broadband again my dad will probs kill me he spent all night trying to fix it while i went out! lol.
Best thing i think to do would be to put it in my comp but i think ill need to wait a while before i do that :sad:
