Favorite Game Besides WiTP??
I'm curious what games you guys play besides WiTP.
For me, I'd say Close Combat: Wacht Am Rhein.
Most of my years of gaming have been Civilization, but I think I'm outgrowing it as it gets more RTS-kiddie based. Newcomer to CC series (as in only a few weeks) but love it already. Clearly room to improve and grow, but what an elegant and nuanced system overall.
ADDIT: I mispoke and said "Civilization, but I think I'm outgrowing it as it gets more FPS-kiddie based." In my original post, when what I really meant was "RTS-kiddie based."

in one of my old clans a couple of the guys seemed to be hackers cuz it was almost impossible to kill them, so i brought out the automatic shotgun, and then they started whining cuz they got a taste of their own medicine. funny as hell [:D]

yeah I play CS 1.6, true there are cheaters out there, however I mostly scrim with my clan and got a great bunch doing so. We got one of the best servers out there, a georgia electrified server, most people get around 20-50 ping on it. I threw around the idea to an old jarhead friend of mine who left the marines on disability, and we formed a 5 man group so far for fun.

RE: Favorite Game Besides WiTP??
I get different moods sometimes, so I have a few old favorites that stay on the hard drive, plus one new addition.
I like Tropico and Tropico2 for fun little strategy games, also the Railroad Tycoon series.
Bethesda's RPGs have always been fun, so at this time I have Fallout 3, Oblivion and Morrowind on the drive (in order of present popularity).
SPWAW, WPO, UV, Combat Mission and CM2 are the wargames that have stayed on the playlist. I really wish that AOS2 had not been such a bugfest - it was so close to being a truly sweet naval wargame!
So this means that one of these games gets the approximately four hours in a week that I can devote to a computer game that is not WITP...

There are other games besides WitP?!? [;)][/align] [/align] [/align]Ok, if I want a change from WitP, I play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Other permanent residents on my hard drive are Civ 4 Complete, SH4 and Sniper Elite.[/align] [/align] [/align]
RE: Favorite Game Besides WiTP??
If not playing Witp, i'll play Colonization (the new one based on CivIV).
Or Battle in Normandy
Or Battle in Italy.
both are Matrix Games......
Can't manage to play Real Time games: toooooooo fast for my little brain (and hands). So, no Combat Mission, No Call of Duty, Stalker, or else.
Need time to think about what i'm doing....

Left 4 Dead [8D], just wish it had more maps, another WiTP-like strategic wargame which is in testing and SH4.
Starting to play a bit of Oblivion now too for the RPG aspect as I can't get Mass Effect to work.
Picking up a Saitek X52 Pro Flight Stick and Throttle combo today so I expect Il-2 1946 to be played to death over the next couple of weeks [:D]
