PC Gamers?

kgoings · 02-27-2010, 01:24 PM

Anyone out there? I just upgraded my laptop after 5 years (quad core

) and was wondering about some PC games. I am a stream subscriber and I saw they have COD MW2, anyone playing that on PC. What kind of controller should I buy or do I need one. I have a PC game that I can not play with the keyboard...TOCA racedriver...need a controller.

I've been liking Borderlands a lot lately. I don't dig the whole keyboard and mouse thing. I use a wireless Xbox 360 controller with the Microsoft "sensor for PC's thingy." This set up works for most PC games very well. AND I can use the keyboard and mouse at the same time if I want. Best of both worlds.

I know you don't have a 360, but you can just pick up a wired 360 controller new at Gamestop or somewhere for around $30. The wired ones have a USB plug and will work instantly with most PC games.

on Gamestop. Borderlands is interesting. It's repetitive and yet everything is always changing just a wee bit. The game is fun and there are already two DLC's available for it. Another DLC with a new level cap will be out soon too.

I'm a PC gamer

Battlefield Bad Company 2 is coming out this week!

It will blow MW2 away, if your computer can handle it that is (I was in the beta)

Check out the logictech G13. It's what I use for pc gaming. Left 4 dead 2 and COD Modern warfare. It also works great for any games you need to use macro's for too. It took about a day to get used to it, but now it's all I use. Check it out!

I am also a PC gamer. The only MP game I'm currently playing is Borderlands.

I have off of work this week so I plan to catch up on my gaming.

I still have The Saboteur, Batman and Dragon Age to get into then I have to pick up Mass Effect 2 as soon as possible.

I spent a mint on a gaming system last year and I simply love it!

I am looking to upgrade to Windows 7 soon and maybe adding another 3 GB of RAM.

Downloaded Rome Total War. Pretty sweet game, I think its an older game but very fun!

Do you play Borderlands online with a million other people similar to Coutner Strike??

VirtualSmitty · 03-01-2010, 04:17 PM

My copy of Napoleon Total War came in today

Rome TW is awesome, check out the Europa Barborum mod for it, completely changes the game.

You can play with up to three other players. I have a friend I'd planned to play online with but his "special" copy isn't working online. I went to his place and we played by LAN though. I got there around 11PM and emerged some time after 3AM. Lot's of fun.

Those are good, but if you want a different experience EB is a mod that totally changes the game:

Also, a good site with many mods for all the TW games (should you feel like experimenting:
