What are you currently playing?

The maps are awful, I will give you that, however it is alright as a bit of a time filler. Because the maps are so small and the rounds are far too short, it means each game only lasts 5-10 minutes usually so if you are waiting for something else, getting 1 game in isn't so bad. I can't imagine playing it for any length of time though because, as you said, it sucks.

I've been getting back into WaW recently, it is such a great game. The maps on that are the complete opposite to MW3, they are some of the best in any of the CoD games.

I wish i had enough internet to patch my WaW. It is honestly imo the best cod game. Its just awesome. I love cod 4 multiplayer but the SP was shite. Waw had it all. Immense SP, awesome MP. It was just amazing :P The DLC maps were a bit meh though other than the zombies ones but i never really played zombies for more than 5 minutes or 5 rounds :P usually the latter came first.
 
If you can get the installation media from someone, I can get you a new, legit key for ~$6

Oh yeah, you offered one to someone for CoD4, should've guessed you could get one for WaW.

So, anyone wanna rip the iso off the disc and send it to me...

yeah I think he offered it to me, so I got it :P

Might get WaW soon though, just for funsies. but I plan on waiting until I have my full rig done. But at the moment I'm still playing CoD4 and a little skyrim on the salvage build. yes I can play Skyrim on a crappy pc :P I get 30fps so its playable, just have to turn all eye candy off.
 
Mostly "League of legends". A DotA-like game, but more balanced and pretty nice overall experience. Graphics are hard to get used too, but still, it's a nice game. I'd rather play this never-ending kind of game than start a new storyline-based game, and do nothing for the next days..
 
nearly finished the whole of the Half Life series from Gordon Freeman's perspective. Love the '69 Charger in Episode 2. The original (half life 1) is pretty painful to play through now unfortunately.

-edit-
the end of EP2 is still one of the most depressing out of any game i've played.

I recommend playing through the HL2 games with Cinematic mod installed. It allows you to play all of the games with the same engine that was introduced with Orange Box and it replaces most, if not all textures, with higher resolution versions. It also adds a lot of detail to maps and characters. Fortunately you can choose which, if any, HD models you want to use for the characters (Not all of them are in my opinion true to the game, especially the HD Alyx models in the latest versions are more like the product of an overly excited teenage boys mind). The HD version of Alyx in CM 2.0 was definitely going in the right direction. At some point she turned into Adriana Lima and now she looks a bit like Rihanna. If the author hasn't radically changed how HD models can be chosen, then there should be a lot of different ones to choose for Alyx. There may even be models from the earlier versions.

Warning! The mod is huge and be sure to check the system requirements.
 
Forza Motorsports 4. Competition without all the rage and stress call of duty brings. Been playing this since late Dec and I'm capable of sub 2000 on most circuit leaderboards, I've been Sub 800 on a few. :)

do you need the games to be bought on Steam? It says that Steam has to be running, but why?
Looks pretty good, disregarding (as you said) that Alyx now looks like Rihanna.

Steam is the only place to get the games (even when buying the games from a retail store you have to activate them on Steam) and the mod needs the SDKs that are available on Steam. Otherwise it probably can't use the newer version of the Source engine.

really? ah, that sucks. Still, they're awesome games to play even with standard textures.
