My only major gripe with this otherwise great game is how bloody powerful the pistol is in online play. You can empty 3 full clips of your machine gun at someone from 25 meters and not even deplete their shield yet someone from 100 yards away can plink you in the head twice with a pistol and you're dead
So... use the pistol. What's the problem? Assault Rifle sucks all around anyways unless it's the absolute only weapon you have. Seriously, use pistol, you won't turn back.
I agree. Halo is fantastic if you want to play short, quick games. The maps are smaller than some other games maps, and a lot easier to memorize. Because of the maps being small, you do get a lot of lame snipers right over the spawn points, who'll take you out as soon as you spawn. Also, people tend to abuse vehicles (mainly, Scorpion tank), but you can go to servers with vehicles disabled.
Keep in mind, Halo is VERY frustrating at first, ecspecially if you get the wrong server. Lamers like mentioned above populate a lot of servers, so just give it time. Go through the single player at least on Normal for a few levels to gain some skill. Halo's AI is very good and is good practice for online play.
BattleField 1942 is a great online game ('specially with Desert Combat mod) kinda hard to get into at first, but fool around in Single player for a little while with as minimal bots possible, to keep CPU up fine. Try using all the vehicles, and mastering each's control schemes. In Desert Combat, make sure you can fly the helicopters in single player before taking one on multiplayer.
Anyways, there's plenty out there to choose from. All are rewarding in their own way, and every one has it's own fun-ness to it. Just remember when you get sniped or killed lamely to just have fun and retaliate

Backup files are important, alright kids?
I accidentally overwrote the BF1942 menu.rfa in the 'Mods/BF1942' folder with this RFA file before realizing what I'd done... Therefore, I'm redownloading the 267mb upgrade just for that one file. Grah..
Always read instructions and always make backups and you to will be saved long FilePlanet wait times.
Ouch, poor laptop. Might I suggest a Rugged Notebook for your abuse? Mostly shock proof, spill proof, even waterproof(?). I still don't think it'd help if you accidentally press the power cable against the wrong connecters on the back, though...
Scott Adams?

The lovable comic artist, Scott Adams, famous for "Dilbert" had a strip with this idea in there. During a tight labor market for Engineers, Wally was enjoying the new found freedom, and hired a construction worker to build him a cubicle roof.
So, *.mp3, *.wav, *.ogg, *.whatever. Every music file, including the ones with Windows, for startup, shutdown, error, and such, gone? The music and sound effects in PC games, deleted?
Please show some proof, or at least make a semi-believable story, then we might take your word for it, CNN...

Great. There goes the hope of getting a menu fix patch for Desert Combat on BF1942 v1.6.19...

Am I the only one stoked about Rob Van Winkle (aka Vanilla Ice) having a starring role in this parody of the Matrix?
