Subject: 6200 FTW!!!

RIP Halo 2.

9800 Pro/Regular > 6200LE

And it's about the same price used. And that greater sign doesn't evne begin ot tell the story. When your 6200 runs FEAR at anything higher than 640x480, let me know.

Do I look like I give a damn? I bought it, it was my decision, it's my freakin' life, I'm happy with the 6200LE, and I don't want to hear your opinions.

And why is everything "FEAR this, and FEAR that"? I'll make a statement right now, loud and freakin' clear, I FRIGGIN' HATE F.E.A.R. IMO, I think it is one of the most boring and most mediocre games out there. But that's just my opinion, FEAR is ranked a great game, but when talking to me, just know not to use FEAR as an example or a benchmark, 'cause it will make me hate high end cards even more.

RIP Halo 2.

Just trying to spread the word fo rthe future. The 9800 is an old card but it's still a solid performer. 6600GTs and 6800 Vanillas are also cheap and solid cards.

I'm saving my money and getting an Radeon R600 and Core 2 Duo system in march.

FEAR mostly depends on how fast your processor is and how much memory you have, its not like halo where yo need dx9 card for it to look good, the SWAT guys in FEAR look just like CTs in CSS.

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

FEAR is very GPU dependant as well.

Most of the PC issues posted here are the result of PEBKAC.

F.E.A.R. makes Doom 3 look like Elmo's Number Adventure. I've seen it being played. It's not scary as in a "make you jump" sense, but there is some disturbing stuff there.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. "Not only were you totally wrong with your dumb assumptions, [but] you were [also] pretty darn rude." Since when do I get crucified for speaking out my opinion after I've been told to restrain myself of my opinion?

Let's see you record some video footage at max settings at 1280x1024.

This is still one of the problems with you guys. A little constructive criticism comes up and you all cringe.

calm a bit ipjuunin, the guy is right, a 9800 >>>>> 6200.

I would not say the prices are similar though, as far as I can remember. Im fine with my 7900GTO anyway, no need to look back to that blocky past.

I can't believe this is coming from someone who plays Halo.

F.E.A.R. is boring and mediocre, and Halo isn't? Halo is without a doubt one of the dullest, most unoriginal FPS games out there. F.E.A.R. gave us something fresh with an unusually good story for an FPS game, a new sub-genre (....horror FPS?), and great combat.

I'm guessing you hate F.E.A.R. because it won't run on your card, and Halo will.


You're exactly like those idiots who can't think of better counter-responces and say "you're just jealous, that's why you don't like it."

Even if FEAR worked on my PC, I would never buy it, and I would never play it again. I played it at my friend's house; sure there's lots of suspence here and there, but it's just another Doom3, mixed with Halo1.

Just because someone doesn't have Vista OS, and hates Halo2 for life, does that mean that person hates Halo2 due to that reason? Stop being the "oh, you're just jealous" responce kind of person and think to yourself, "hm, why would lpjuunin not like FEAR? besides my retarded assumptions?"

Thank you. I didn't feel like typing that myself.

As great as Doom 3 is, F.E.A.R. surpasses it in everyway. Since when do you fight cloned soldiers that think intelligently and move behind cover in Doom 3, or when do you fight mindless zombies and imps in F.E.A.R., when is there bullet time in D3? They're totally different, and Doom 3, while scary, becomes repetitive and predictable (not to say that F.E.A.R. doesn't have it's "Wow, all these dark hallways and back alley streets look the same" moments). I'm not saying F.E.A.R. is perfect, but it's pretty damned good, and it breathed new life into the first-person shooter genre.

I got some screenshots, but I always post them in Microsoft Word, and I couldn't convert it to Paint, (it looked distorted when I copied and pasted the image from Word to Paint...), so I took an in-screen, screenshots. Here they are:

60FPS in-game, shiny graphics

1st place in 25 kill shotgun slayer

Saturday night Maw Gathering match


When saving images with pain, save as a .png

And sorry, your graphic look like my old Ati Radeon Xpress 200 :(

That's because it's still in 640x480 resolution.

I don't feel like increasing my resolution, because both 1074x768 and 640x480 look pretty darn good to me, and the low my resolution the more framerates I get. And the more framerates I get, through VSYNC, I get constant 60 FPS all the time.

Why, of course! If your computer can handle a consistent silky-smooth FPS, then that's extremely crucial to gaming.

I think it's a pretty good game. Six million other subscribers think so too. (Not that I play it anymore.)
