Ok so yea this game came out a couple months ago. So why am I making a news post about it in Febuary? Well the fact is I recently aquirred a copy of the game. I was startled to learn that most reviews on the internet about Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior contained false information. This then trickled its way on down to gamers and forums and a lot of people avoided picking up this title. If I had known how this game really is back in November....I would have most definatly payed $49.99 for this game.

This can be useful in the event that you wish to join a specific game with a known IP, rather than search for that game in the active games list. It will also allow games to be connected should GameSpy support ever cease. So here is a repeat of exactly what Fire Warrior offers in its online mode: Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior - 2-8 players - broadband only - 3 game modes DM, CTF, TDM - 8 multi-player maps - 12 player skins - lobby chat using on-screen qwerty keyboard - uses GameSpy matching service - has a direct-ip add function, so the game can never go offline, ever The game is currently retailing at videogame specialty stores for $19.99 brand new. Fire Warrior is currently the 2nd most feature intensive First Person Shooter on the PS2, 2nd only to Tribes Aerial Assault. I just thought I would bring these details to light so gamers looking for a decent first person shooter wouldn't leave this game to sit on store shelves and collect dust. Especially for $19.99, you can't go wrong. |

In-fact they even say exactly this RIGHT in the manual:\

That, folks, is responsible and respectable video game development. If only this philosophy was more prevalent among developers. |

I think I will be skipping my slice of pie so I can afford WarHammer.
And since it's hosted on GameSpy, PC players can join in too right? -Mytho |

ALSO you will be extatic to know that even though it only has 2 controleler configurations they are very very very similar to A and B configs in tribes. Which is great because I want all my FPS's to play the same. Here is a quick rundown: Left Analog=movement Right Analog= looking triangle=grenades square=change and pick up new weapons X=action button/zoom scope circle=reload L1=jump L2=crouch R1=primary fire R2=secondary fire and config 2 is just this all flipped around....looking on left and movement on right analog and so on. So even though a few buttons are changed the similarity to a base tribes config rules. Specialy the grenades on triangle and jump on L1  |

Nikon: How is the single-player mode? Anything inspired there, or is it run-of-teh-mill?

Completly run of the mill, extremly basic and standard. Move forward and kill enemies and find keys to unlock doors to further areas. if you die you have to start way back at a previous checkpoint. Some sites bitched about this aspect. But jsut remember back to mario on NES here people. So just get some perspective and don't bitch about this.
However even though it's run of the mill, I still enjoy it, primarily because of the insane shootouts. That is the 1 thing the single player mode is even worth playing for. These intense shootouts. You really feel like your hunkered down behind a barrier dueling it out in some sort of wild western shootout or something. Really cool. Other than that single player mode has nothing else unique about it. Just standard. My primary reason for owning this game is the online play. If your looking for a rather compelling single player first person shooter experience, Judge Dredd vs Judge Death is the way to go. |

This is going to be my next PS2 game. The online modes sound awesome and I would probably get a kick out of the single-player game, even though it's pretty standard. 
Apple: . I know you run a forum about the XIII called xii.isfun.net, correct? I think I've played with some people from the forum. And yes, XIII IS FUN (but why is the default looking speed so slow?). Once it goes to $25-$20, I'll snatch it up. -Mytho |

Hehehe... I got Fur Fighters to play MP with people this week today when I went to the mall, but when I go back I intend to get Warhammer. (So maybe in a couple of days.)
Can 2 people play together online like in Tribes? P.S. I also got a game for $1.50 that you can play on a dvd player or the PS2's DVD player (duh) and it's so bad I laughed. It's supposed to be 3D but the glasses are bad and the acting is ridiculous. |

I just got Warhammer dudes. PM me if you want to play.
Apple: Fur Fighters for PC correct? I have it for Dreamcast and it's pretty fun, both single and multiplayer. Tell me how it is online. And about that DVD game.....

-Mytho I should be getting Warhammer tomorrow for $15. Fur Fighter's Viggo's Revenge for PS2. At first I acted like it was an FPS and was disappointed and hated the controls. Then I changed to a different control set and treated it as thrid person action with the auto-aim on and it suddenly became a whole lot more fun. So treating it more like Rayman Arena without the races and focused on the "Fulff" Match made it a very good MP game which was what I wanted. Good console MP fun for vacation since I'll have a lot of people here. I'm thinking about Pac-Man Fever too. Man I waste a lot of money (as further pointed out by my cousin.) Oh ya it's not online. The DVD game is a joke. The acting is where they "hit" you with an axe and you stop and fall. It's funny from the acting and the gameplay isn't that bad sadly. I wish the 3-D glasses were better. |
