A refreshing change., New games at Respawn?! Options

[Ezkaton]

I guess this is a useless attempt at trying to get people interested in something different than the same old bland shit (CoD/TF2/CSS/Flatout2/Tron/GRiD, etc.)... as there's not a great deal of action happening on these forums... but here goes.

What I am trying to do here, is compile a list of potentially fun games to be played at Respawn v18, to get away from the stale smell of familiarity.

In short... some different fucken games!

I guess I'd like some feedback, and maybe list some games you'd like to see.
It doesn't have to be games for a comp, or even a funcomp... just stuff to play in general.
Personally, I don't go to Respawn for the comps, and I am saddened to see hardly anything interesting getting played outside of the comps...

Anyway, some of my own ideas are as follows...

Alien Vs Predator (2010) - (Infestation mode)

Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days - (Fragile Alliance mode)

GTR 2

Race07/GTR Evolution

ArmA II (+ Operation Arrowhead/British Armed Forces)

DiRT 2 - (Rally/Trailblazer)

And coming soon (September 23rd?) - F1 2010!

There's some suggestions of games I never see, but hopefully will in future.
I know popular games will always be popular, and there's always people who go just for one particular game or comp, etc... but hopefully some of you out there in internet land are tired of the same old shit, as I am... and are down for playing something different this time around!

The new AvP is seriously terrible multiplayer. The SP is kind of fun, but the MP let me down a LOT. It's nothing like the previous two games. Plus, IIRC, there's no LAN play anyway.

Most of the other game's you've listed either don't have a big enough following, or are shit (Kane and Lynch 2? Are you joking??)

Like others have said, popular respawn choices are small, lightweight, cheap (or even better, FREE) games.

Speaking of which, Dystopia, a free mod for anyone with a source game just had a MASSIVE update! This game is fantastic, and I know i try to get it going every lan, but it would be awesome if we actually could get a server running this lan!

Infestation is the only fun mode, the rest are rubbish.

Sure, it's "just another 3rd person shooter", but what games aren't generic shit these days? I find the characters and visual style of the game is refreshing, and multiplayer is unique. It's a breath of fresh air, so to speak.

Maybe they should get a job, so they can buy decent computers, and buy their games instead of pirating or playing free ones, then.

I hated Dystopia.
