True but it would be much harder to apply "group" training to a single creature, which, considering this is an apocalypse, seems more likely than having an army. You'd need a game that focused more on one or two creatures.

Well Sparx me I think I would rather have Enclave power armor from the Fallout series. Also your right about the Spartans I remember there supersoldiers I'm not sure if they geneticly engineered, turned into cyborgs or what but there some kind of government lab rat.:hits_self

Yeah you better plan on being armed you don't they might go Land of the Dead on you start breaking down the doors and windows. I was just playing Land of the Dead: Road to Fiddler's Green yesterday I got to say I'm starting to wonder what the heck they residents of that town made there doors and walls out of a mixture of paper mache and spackle.

Nah, we just need to have our houses built on inch-high ledges. Everyone who's played RPGs knows that nothing can get up an inch-high ledge.

I'm forbidding myself to go to TV tropes... I've wasted away on that site, more than in youtube or myspace or facebook, or all of them combined... It's like crack.

HOW do you put a CHAINSAW and a MACHINE GUN together without explosions?! (Or at least total failure of said device due to the chain part of the chainsaw not being able to revolve)

you have to see it! the saw is looped thru the gun so one side is facing down. and theres a grip in it so u can hold the gun. you only use one at a time. you have to play this if yur a halo or half life fan even team forttres

I'm not real big on FPS... Mostly because near all of them are M rated post apocalyptic stuff. If they EVER come out with an FPS set in a fantasy world where you're a wizard instead of a space marine and it has a T rating, believe me. I'll be there.

Oh I play Metroid but that's about it. It's cartoony enough for me to enjoy but all the others are the kinds that go for gritty "realism". Here's a little something game makers. NOT ALL REAL IS BROWN.

It's not terribly F, but it is quite PS.
