Recently a friend gave me a copy of Halo CE. That was the first time I'd ever played an FPS. I love it. But now I want more. So, Does anybody know of some older FPS that would work with older hardware? I have: HP G62-234DX (4gb RAM, Intel i3,Windows Server 2012 Datacenter HP Mini 311 (2gb RAM, Intel Atom, Windows 8.1 Industry, nVidia Ion Compaq Mini 110c-1100dx (1gb RAM, Intel Atom, Windows 10 Technical Preview Are there ANY games compatible with such dismal hardware? Or must I wait for mt motherboard to come in the mail in about a month?
Unreal Tournament 2004 is usually a good one for older computers. But honestly, if you're looking at FPS games from around the same time, Halo really is the best one. Half Life also has a lot of fans, and while it isn't really a shooter, per se, Portal is a must. Those specs aren't so godawful, though. You could probably get away with a lot of games if you turn the graphics down.
I have great luck with Halo and Half Life on the server-laptop. (The G62.) But the same games run HORRIBLY on the Compaq Mini... I've heard of Portal. I might give it a shot...
^ This. Counter Strike: Source or Counter Strike 1.6 are both good FPS games that will run on terrible hardware
I agree with the posters above - I'd personally recommend Half Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Portal. HL2 is an awesome FPS classic, TF2 is an incredibly fun MP experience and Portal a great puzzle game with a specific Valve humor
well csgo i guess. but if you start wanting camos you'd better uninstall and bleach you computer XD i know some people that spend more money on guns than there gpus
Try some of the games from the Jedi Knight series, they're older but still extremely great games (namely Outcast and Academy): Wikepedia article
dunno about that as far as performance goes, although that game is extremely excellent! Jedi Knight is definitely an FPS game however, with the newest addition being a slight exception due to the fact that lightsabers force you into third person. Every other part of the game can be played FPS style!
I think it's fine. It's from 2005 and the sys reqs are extremely low by today's standard. It also desperately needs a sequel.
I'd also want to mention that TF2 has become a lot more difficult to run than it used to be. That being said, there are tons of mods and such that can make it look like an absolute horror but run smoothly.
Not even kidding that's what it is. There are mods that remove cosmetics and they boast a pretty big performance boost for older machines. I put in 3,400 hours into TF2 until I got tired of it. I got all the way up to Platinum in Highlander (dunno if you ever followed competitive or not) until I got bored of it.
I'd recommend TF2 or CS:GO as well. You could go BF3 or CoD5 too. If you really got into gaming you can spend just a little money $125 range that will play today's acceptable at say, 720p.
Er... CSGO won't run on that machine, let alone BF3 or any of the recent CoD games, lol. Also, you can't build anything for $125 that will even boot windows, unless you buy it all from a garage sale. Even then you won't be able to run any of the above listed games. Want a gaming PC? Put $500 and enjoy maxing out any game released in the past few years, and running everything else medium-high.
