Who here has played the Descent series of games, by interplay. In my opinion they are examples of the greatest shooter to ever grace the screens of the Personal computer. In particular Descent 3, and Descent 3 Mercenery. Opinions, thoughts, musings?

Impact mortar
Napalm rocket
Spreadfire cannon
Helix cannon
Omega
Fusion

Cyclone misslie
They were great, but I preferred the other two over Descent 3.

havent played descent 3. Descent 1, was better than 2, which was far too easy and didnt really offer anything new. Descent is the only game I consider to rival doom.

Freespace and Freespace 2 were far superior expansions of the Descent world.

Amen to that! Ever checked out the Freespace 2: SCP ?

I played the demos of Descent 2 and 3. 3 was good.

I played the first one a few times several years ago; it was pretty fun.

Oh, indeed, indeed. Much more interesting than the original Descent series.

i had nightmares from descent 2 when i was a kid :eek:
never played 3. but cos they were the only videogames ever to give me bad dreams (or even be in my dreams at all), they really get respect from me...
