Ok so I just decided to start this thing on my blog every week telling everyone what I've been playing this week and my experiences with the games.
OK so this week I've been playing Medieval 2: Total War, Battlefield 2, Titan Quest, Company of Heroes, and a little bit of WoW and the World in Conflict Beta. I guess I'll start with Medieval 2.
So I got back into playing Medieval 2 now. I use to play it a whole lot but when i got my new comuter I guess I kinda forgot about it, but anyways I installed it and have been having a lot of fun. I started to grand campaigns for Venice and England. When I was playing as Venice started just capturing some regions around me and I went on a crusade with a massive army from Venice to Jerusalem, this was very fun because I captured every region in my path. After capturing Jerusalem I captured some regions around there and some other places. Then somehow I got caught up in a big fight back at Venice with the Holy Roman Empire. They pretty much attacked me multiple times for no reason. So I captured some of there cities and then I got a warning that if I attacked them again I would be excommunicated, the next turn they let out a massive attack on my capital city. The odds were against me but I held them off, although there was the loss of my best generals and many other units. After that I was pretty pissed so I ignored the warning of being excommunicated and attacked them some more. The result: all Christian empires hate me and all other empires that don't like Christian empires because I happen to also be a Christian empire. I fought off a lot of enemies took a lot of cities and lost none of mine, but the pressure of being attacked over and over again got annoying so I started the English campaing. Not much has gone on there so far except that I got excommunicated then reconciled and will probably get excommunicated again for refusing to end my alliance with a non-Christian nation. So yeah the games been really fun. It's fun to be in control of a lot of guys and throw them at other guys and watch them fight. The battles are really fun. You feel really good when you get the entire enemy's army running from you and you chase them down with your calvery take them out one by one.
So next Bf2. Well I've been playing some Bf2 recently. I just bought the booster packs they're pretty fun. I went up in a rank once so that was cool. I also sniped someone that was barely in my line of sight and very far away, that was very satisfying along with the snipe from about a yard away when I popped out around the corner. Battlefield has always been so fun, and when the really cool things happen you know they weren't planned like something like Call of Duty. It's very satisfying. I'm not saying it's a bad game I personally love Call of Duty and am extremely looking forward to the 4th one but most of the crazy cool stuff that happens in it is planned out. I just really enjoy the Battlefield games. I've also been playing the Project Reality mod. I reccomend it to everyone who enjoys good teamplay where squads and the commander actually work together. It's very fun when you have a good commander and a lot of good squads on your team. http://www.realitymod.com/
Now for Titan Quest. Well I've been playing Titan Quest Immortal Throne some. I started a new guy to get the dream mastery ability which is pretty cool. I usually play this game with my younger brother. He enjoys it a lot and plays it a lot more than me. He's actually very good at it. It's always fun to play games with him. I thnk I'm about lvl 15 now, thats all for titan quest.
Now for Company of Heroes. All I've really played in the game this week is the single player campaign. I usually just play multiplayer but I wanted to replay the single player with DX10. It looks really good, and as always the gameplay is great.
So now I guess I'll start talking about WoW and the WiC beta. Well I played with my alt charachter in WoW. Just lvled him up twice cause I only played like an 45mins so now he's at lvl 12 , but I've started to get bored with WoW. I'm thinking about quitting, but I kinda want to get back into it so I'll give it another month. The World in Conflict beta has been great. I just got it yesterday so I only played the the tutorial and 2 maps on multiplayer. It's very fun and looks awesome, especially with DX10. I'm really looking forward to this game. I'll probably buy the collectors edition. If you didn't know this it actually contains a real peice of the Berlin Wall which I think is just awesome. I'm sure It's probably just a pebble but still it's a really cool idea.
Well now I'm at the end of my "What I'm Playing" for this week. I'm not really sure if I'll do this every week but it's pretty fun so I might. Just check back next week, and feel free to comment. If I end up doing this regularly it'll probably be on Saturdays.
