This week’s poll asks a question that is probably too complex to have in a simple poll, but I thought I would ask it anyway. I’ve tried to give you choices that I think reflect the possible reason but I am sure you will need to comment.

Why do you play Single Player FPS Games?

To clarify, it’s not the FPS part that matters but the Single Player part.

I’ve decided to use this question as poll Question 11. Not because I couldn’t think of anything else but because I thought it deserved a wider audience. So, the question is 1 Great or 3 Average?

After last weeks very successful poll I thought I would continue the theme of “Most Anticipated..”. This week we have Mods. Now a quick look at Moddb.com’s filtered list shows a lot of mods, so I had to make a choice about which ones to list. If you feel I missed one you can add your on choice in the comments. Below is a small selection of what I think are interesting mods.

This week’s poll moves away from the recent trend of discussing the actual gameplay and instead tries to find out exactly what game you are most anticipating for 2007.

As with all polls the answers are nearly always “It depends!”. and this one is no different.

Imagine, for whatever reason, you can only buy one FPS game next year, which one would it be?

I’m an only child. This means I have no brothers or sisters.

I developed the ability to play on my own. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons I play SP games, who knows.

One aspect that was introduced into Half-Life 2 that I didn’t like was the Squad feature. I recognize that having a squad around you varies the style of gameplay but I prefer to play alone.

There are a few different types of puzzles used in FPS games but the most obvious are Jumping, Logistical (Press this button, get the power supply etc.) and Physics.

Now, having to choose one is difficult because it depends on the implementation.

PLEASE NOTE: The map is for illustration purposes only. I’m not asking if you prefer THIS map.

The types of enemies we face are very important. If they are too difficult, then it spoils the game, too easy and it makes the game boring.

They have to fit with the overall theme of the game and they need to be varied. There are essentially two types of enemy: umanoid (Bipedal – Two legs, standing upright) and Non-Humanoid (Everything else! Headcrabs, Antlions etc).

This weeks questions is simple: Which do you prefer to play against?

Weapons are a curious thing. We all have our favorite and will fight and argue to the death to defend our choice.

In fact they can make or break a game. Weapons can be broken down into two types: Conventional Weapons (shotgun, pistol, machine gun, grenades etc) and Sci- Fi Weapons (Gluon guns, Hivehands, pulse rifles etc.

So, this weeks poll question is simple; which do you prefer?

There’s no doubt that game graphics have improved tremendously over the last few years, the same seems to be happening with game physics.

Unfortunately, game A.I. is lagging behind.

I’m sure things will improve but who knows when?

You reach a point in a game where you have to choose between two paths.

The paths do not cross and there is no way to replay either path.

Perhaps the game is a Single Player Online game, meaning you cannot just load from a save point.
