Guide to Noobie online gaming)feedback please)

KdjaCL

I am currently writing a guide on how to get online, install new maps and mods and some basic helpful suggestions.

these are the games im covering

MOH:AA
Ut2004
Bf1942
BFV

Anyone any questions they qould have liked to know when they had either of these games at 1st?
The Guide will encompass Xfire ASE gaypsy , game settings for max fps online(ingame and display settings and Drivers), net settings for lagfree gaming (as much as possible).

Each guide will be seperate and have pictures and big red pointy arrows designed for people new to online gaming.

Some feedback please.

what i suggest u do is drop mohaa and place cod in there instead as cod is a more popular game.

KdjaCL

More people playing MOH atm then COD?

Anyhoo they will be templates and others on the website will port them to their relevant games , we cover a lot so i just doing the major part of actually making them.

Deadwing

Put enemy territory into it too. Its a free game, what more could you want?

Well i doubt you finished it as Wind Waker is a bit too hard for you.


Anyhoo Have Bf42 almost done went incognito onto 3 random servers and asked Qs like
"how do i fly the planes? How do i drive a tank?"
Some people are really nice to nooobies

As for picking games the games Fpscentral cover are
Bf1942
BFV
Cod
Far Cry
Hl2
Doom3
UT2004
Men of valour
Brothers in Arms


They getting bigger so more game sites will be added. Once i get the 1st one done others should be transferable exceptions for game settings.

Try to include some of the basic but global rules in online gaming.

i.e:

Right: "good shot"
Wrong: "WTFZZSsahsq WALLHACKS FUK OFF I CANT SHOOT LIKE THAT SO WHY CAN YOU \ISJSV!"

Right: "Hello"
Wrong: "YO NUBS, DA-MAN IS HERE!!! TIME FOR A LESSON IN SHOOTING"

Right: "I had a bad game today"
Wrong: "U R ALL CHEETERS AND I HOPE U BURN IN HELL U SO SAD SITTING A

Right:""
Wrong: "AAHAGHAHAGFF DID U C MY HEADSHOT WOWOWOW"
