One hit kill games rule. My copy of PD is 75 percent on 1 hit kill. I always played rainbow six on n64 going: damn this would make a fine multiplayer game!

The bots could be quite unforgiving, believeable opponents. T2 does not come close. Red Factions bots are also better.

I think the precision is better in PD. Shooting a gun out of someone's hand is sweeter in PD, head shots are better too.

I disagree. Realism rules compared to muppet style gameplay.

I'm talking about FPS games here. I like my Perfect Dark realism. :D

Mines - proximity, timed and remote, all fitted the gameplay better than they do in TS2.

At least PD gave you the option :D

Cheers. I also like Red Faction for this and nightfire had a good go too.

Not with bots. I always found three players and 6 bots ran fine.

Red Faction also does a reasonable job.

No. Read my list of FPS games. I come back to a few more before TS2. the ones that dwell on accuracy well. Nope PD's style still really rules the roost here. The lack of much emphasis on accuracy and realism really doesn't do it for me. It really boils down to multiplayer, game control, bot quality and realism. For me PD really leaves TS2 in the dust of it's wake.
As I've said I like TS2, but it's no PD and I don't await TS3 with any eagerness. It does exactly what it does on the tin, but PD is a bit more special to me.

Ghost Recon is bland. Everywhere you go its the same thing and controlling your team just becomes a farse. I end up just leaving the team and going off and my own only to find that someone is waiting to kill me in one shot. Enjoyable for about 10 minutes and then it hits you.
