So, I'm looking to find a nice FPS game that doesn't require alot of resources but also goes online to play with friends. I've done my own snooping around and found games like WarRock, Combat Arms, Soldier Front, Counter Strike, America's Army, Arma 2 & 3 and a few others. But those I listed demand alot out of your computer (good graphics card, lots of ram, big CPU, etc.) My PC is pretty basic and don't have any money to upgrade it (Taking donations ;D) my PC specs are as follows CPU : AMD Athlon 1.67ghz (Shit I know) GPU: Nvidia GeForce Ti 4200 with AGP 8x (Also shit) Ram : 1.5gb (Not that bad ) I think thats about all thats needed to know, I can get more info if required but yeah. Any game suggestions for me?

Combat arms and counterstrike don't require many resources at all. Battlefield play4free and teamfortress 2 are some other fps games that demand very little. If you have trouble with counterstrike and combat arms then you're probably pretty screwed...

I can play Counter Strike just fine (Just tested it actually) I was going to try out Combat Arms but I heard no one from here plays it cause something with it sucked (IDR what) I might try it out see how it works on my computer and report back.

You don't have to play with people from here. The only person on here that plays any fps games that I play that I actually play with is Jason. I can't really say he's here because I never see anything from him, caugh caugh...

Alright well my testing of CA is complete, I can play it, But I get a few lag spikes every now and then depending on what the situation is like in the game. I might try dropping my GFX card settings to min and try again see if I get any lag spikes cause ATM its at max for haulin'. If anyone here (that's actually reading this) wants to play Combat Arms with me or whatever, Just shoot me a PM (Cause I don't remember what my name is on CA atm) and we'll set something up. Thanks fellas.

CS is probably your best bet for a good fps you can play well on a meh PC I've been playing quite a bit of Combat Arms, I actually got my PC on the lowest it can go and it runs it pretty good so far, I still have some small lag spikes here and there but overall it's playable. Any Idea what piece of my old, slow, and piece of shit would be causing it? Dan, you know most of my computer questions so

And dan is right, counterstrike is the best option. Not just because it runs good on bad systems, but also because of how many people play it. It's still the most populous competitive game out there. I mean in the last season of cevo there were over 800 teams... So basically, you could go farther in counterstrike, plus it's a much more difficult game to be good at so you could have a lot of fun learning how to play.

cory, I wouldn't recommend Arma 3 on the PC specs you have because Arma 3 is a major CPU hog, even if your game is optimized/all the settings are turned down or whatever other reason, Arma 3 is known for being a CPU hog. I haven't played any of the CS games but if people say that you can play CS and CS:GO fine with your current specs, then I would do it. Also some games require a specific amount of Ram, CPU GHz, and the GPU. Here's my gaming rig specs: Manufacturer: To be filled by O.E.M. Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight-Core Processor (8 CPUs), ~3.5GHz Memory: 4096MB RAM Hard Drive: 249 GB Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Monitor: Sound Card: Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) Speakers/Headphones: Keyboard: USB Root Hub Mouse: USB Root Hub Mouse Surface: Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130828-1532) Motherboard: Computer Case: Anyways, back to ARMA 3, even though I have a decent CPU and a decent GPU, I still lag like a mofo in Arma 3 even with low settings.

That would be hilarious. Don't tell me you want to play competitive matches in cevo or something do you?

Nah, I think just playing competitive as a good team that works together, get drops and shit. See how good it could actually turn out.

Well I'm not going to be on that team so I hope you're not counting me in. As for your team, you've got a bunch of unskilled(or low skilled) players and you want to try a competitive team in one of, if not the, most competitive game(s) there is to date? One that's been around for 14 years. I wish you the best of luck, but don't expect good teamwork or winning because you have to play together for quite a while before you get any team chemistry. I know that for a fact.

Well, I was counting on you lol. I can hold my own for sure, was ranked decent then just got on a bunch of shitty teams and keep losing. I've play counterstrike for quite a while dating back to the 1.6v days as well as day of defeat.

I have a different steam account with CS:S on it but I forgot the pass support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=4988-DHXV-7272As far as your hardware goes, there's not much you can do, your hardware's pretty shit. I'd start with the CPU, but that'll require a new motherboard and new RAM. Honestly, with the DDR4 memory standard just around the corner I'd wait just a little longer (that will require new motherboard standards and probably a new CPUs) If you want to buy now and are looking for decent performance on the cheap I'd look into the AMD FX series.

Physics changed quite a bit aswell, take the p90 for example if your just spraying it at someone aim at their feet and most of the time its a headshot

I know a bunch of the guys in my arma unit are playing insurgency. It was $2 at one point on steam I think. Don't know how it runs though.
