The Wheel of Time (PC)    

 

best strategy FPS ever.  Hands down.  Completely marketed wrong.

 

more strats BY FAR than any other FPS ever created.

 

you had to master your keys 1-9  because damn there where 40 weapons and you may need any one at any given time ( hard to explain)

 

graphics waaay outdated by todays standards

 

 

ps.... there is some you tube stuff  but the guys a scrub so not really relevant.

Myth the Fallen Lords - Bungie before they got started on Halo.

Online play was awesome and this is with dial-up. I can't remember all the different types of matches...

King of the Hill (my favorite)

Capture the Flag(s)

Soccer

 

The matches didn't have to be setup as 4 vs 4 armies...you could be given a specific set of soldiers (knights, berserkers, molotov throwing dwarves, archers, lighning sorcerer, etc, or even the undead wights, whose only attack was a suicide explosion) and it would be 2 large armies just going at it. Setting up tactical formations, utililzing hit&run tactics, hiding your wight in a river to have it shamble out towards the end and have the opposing army run away from a single kamakaze unit that could decimate them. And when you have dozens of troops hacking it out on the map...it's easy to lose sight of that 1 unit slowly walking into the center of the melee.

 

The game had incredible unit balance....no unit type was over powered that didn't have a counter.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
