Hi, has anyone got any recommendations for a game that is both a Strategy and Shooter game. Mostly for single player along the lines of Battlezone and Battlezone 2 if anyone remembers them. Preferably not requiring too high PC specs to run.

Thanks in advance.

Battlefield Bad Company 2. If you're playing on PS3, buy the game and be done with it -- if you're planning on playing it on PC, make sure you have at least 4GB of RAM, at least a 1GB GPU (such as the 1GB GTX 460; Asus, Gigabyte and EVGA are good brands), and a quad core CPU, the i5 2500k is a very good choice if you're planning on upgrading anytime in the near future, as it's clockable to amazing extents without much of a cooling requirement (if you do end up upgrading to it, get the P8P67 as your motherboard assuming you don't need more than 3 SATA connectors (see: here).

Hope this helps. PM me if you want game-specific information, system requirements or my opinion on a game's gameplay.

BC2 runs tits on my i5 with GTX460 FYI ;)

It shouldn't. Are you using an i5 2500k? or a different i5 model? Every single i5 other than the 2500k and i5-760 are pretty crap. Also, is your GTX 460 1GB or 768MB? What resolution are you running at? Any 1GB model will support up to and including 1920x1080 @ 60hz.

Personally, I have 2 PCs, and BC2 runs at 80 FPS solid on both systems, if not more. The system I play it on most has a Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition OC'd @ 4.0ghz, 1GB GTX 460 .w 4GB 7-7-7-20 1333 RAM -- it's more of a movies/music/rendering computer more than anything. My 'main' PC has a i5 2500k OC'd @ 5ghz, 16GB 8-8-8-24 2000 RAM and a GTX 580 .w an additional 1GB GTX 460 dedicated to PhysX.

All this assuming "tits" = "crap". If not, forget I posted this. :P

Its for a PC but I was hoping for a game with the RTS element - for example in the old Battlezone 2 game you build tanks, factories and whatnot but you can also run around on foot or in a vehicle and shoot stuff up. Alternatively you run into an uplink centre and get an overhead (normal RTS) view and build your base or send units off to attack etc.

see here http://en.wikipedia....ki/Battlezone_2 if you dont know what I am talking about. Was fun but graphics are shocking by todays standards obviously and the gameplay was a little frustrating at times so I would really like to play a newer game along the same lines.

By the way thanks for the replies.

hehehe I had a bad feeling it would be a dead end. There is a bit of a mod community for BZ2 active even now but no one has tried porting the game to a newer engine sadly

Thanks for the replies anyway guys..

So I just turn on my computer by pushing the power button and I click on the program twice kind of fast and it opens and I play.

Seriously though, Rainbow 6: Rogue Spear. It'll run on Pentium 2 onwards...

Mines an emachines 350, in all its atom powered glory. Plays CSS with everything on high except water effects - framerate is borderline playable though - I dont know why but for some reason turning the video settings down doesnt seem to improve framerate. I will have to research and see whether upgrading to 2GB RAM makes a difference. As much as I would love a tower here its a pain when you have to cart it from prefecture to prefecture when work contracts run out. Anyway thanks again guys.

      Rb26 iron block limit

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Build an 800hp motor. Make it as bullet proof as you want, you WILL still break things. Like, the rest of the car. Heck, even as a dead stock car, things will still break, but the more power, the more everything else will let go easier. From gearbox gear sets, to extra stress on the chassis/mounts, more stress on diff, axles, tailshaft, even the suspension mounts. Check out the motorsport build that last year went to a Bosch motor sport ABS setup, and now can brake so damn hard it's twisting mounts for suspension/subframe etc. Now if the brakes can do it, imagine what happens with super grippy tyres and 800hp in a low gear...   Shit, I'm presently out fixing the girlfriends daily driver that rarely sees past 3,000rpm and is used to cart the dogs around in. Everything WILL break. If you don't want it to break, don't drive it. And then laugh, as it will still break without even being driven!

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      ECUMaster is an Australian company from memory, been around a while, and seem to actually play really well on more unique engine setups. Seems to be more of them being used in the states, and they seem to support more cylinders than most others.   My opinion on stock ECU/Nistune with he AFM, is you can tune around the issue of stalling. It's still a bit of a band-aid, and not the most perfect smoothest setup, but it can make it drive able and not an absolute PITA. But you're still compromising. A vent to atmosphere BOV has the same issue as no BOV with regards to the AFM. Both make the ECU think more air is entering the engine than there really is. And I can't find any hard science/decent evidence that supports the claims all the "you MUST run a BOV of some sort of you'll blow the turbo up". About the only one some people can give of why is "lag between gear shifts", and that is only an issue when your boost source for the waste gate is pre throttle body. I ran my boost source for the TD07S off the inlet manifold. Didn't have weird boost spiking issues, didn't have boost control issues, and on a gear shift the wastegate slammed shut, which meant all exhaust gases would be keeping it going round and round and not waiting for the wastegate to shut again when I stepped off the clutch and back on the loud pedal. It came back on boost in the next gear pretty much instantly.   ECU / tune / BOV choice I think really comes down to a lot more factors than just what you've stated. And personally, especially for daily driving, recirc setup for the BOV, or no BOV. I dislike the really loud BOV when everyone is taking off from the lights etc.

      All motors are consumables. This thing costs $250,000-500,000 and makes 640hp/430 KW, naturally asipirated. It has a competitive advantage in being more reliable than other cars it competes against. They rate these engines in hours before rebuilds. Are you going to out-engineer half million GT3 car manufacturers in a garage? People really need to be honest with what they are going to do, and remember that 99.9% of the people on the internet are not honest with how they use their car and what it holds up to and how much power it makes and how easy/hard it was. Anyone worrying about the block limit of anything is the kind of person that will be unable to do a single track day, for example, perhaps not even a single session. Build the kind of car you would want to have if you could never tell a single soul about it and nobody would ever know.

      Atessa pump questions

      By gte · Posted

      For anyone who finds this via a search  An s14 alternator connector and Silvia Fusebox/350z headlight connector can be used. Get the non pigtail version of the alternator connector so you can use 12 gauge wire for the pump.    I am using  https://ebay.us/m/ToEEmM And https://conceptzperformance.com/czp-xenonhid-headlight-connector-w-pigtails-8-pin-male-nissan-350z-03-08-z33-or-jdm-fusebox-for-silvia-s14-czp-26060-m-8pin_p_19166.php
