What's everybody playing?

Hello everyone
I just completed a new build a got the gaming bug again. I was wondering what everyone is playing right now. I'm playing UT2003, No One Lives Forever2, and Age of Mythology. And of course I still have to start Quake3 once in a while! So what games are sucking up your time?

I have been playing alot of games lately, don't really know why.

I am mostly playing Half-Life: Counter-Strike because I am a total addict for some reason. I play Quake 3 Arena, UT 2003, Warcraft 3, and Natural Selection which is another amazing Half-Life mod.

Half-Life is not very graphic and CPU intensive at all. Max out 99.9 FPS everytime I play. (99 FPS is the max for the HL Engine)

Mostly JK2, but I haven't had a lot of time for gaming lately.

Battlefield 1942 is the addiction for me now days
By the way,to all of those that play Battlefield,the newest patch was just released today.Seems to help with a few things.
The new expansion pack(Road to Rome) will ship tomorrow(Feb.4th).

NOLF2 and Xidia Gold.

Xidia Gold is a great single-player mod for Unreal using the UT engine.

All I play is Americas Army. Also played MOHAA and BF1942 before the disks got messed up.

All three are great cept maybe the lag in MOHAA mulitplayer but everything else makes up for it in my opinion.

That's right Dragon!!! I'll be picking up Unreal 2 also.

Hey force flow2002 is JK2, Jedi Knight 2? If so, is it pretty good? I think I remember good things said about that game.

Yes, JK2 is Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, and it's awesome! The combat experience is great and it has a great atmosphere to it. I especailly like the besbin levels. More specifically, I like the carbonite chamber the best. Has that nice Star Wars feel to it

The graphics are very good (QIII engine) and the weapons are really cool. They did a great job with the lightsaber battling.

RTCW and soon IL-2 (got to finish RTCW), single player though, not able to keep up with mulitplayer, tried it a couple of times and all I am able to provide is a easy target.
