Multiplayer Game Patches & Bug Fixes

Multiplayer Game Servers may reject any users that are not using the same patch version in order to avoid conflicts between game versions. This also gives gamers an incentive to update their game versions which often include minor bug fixes and anti-cheat updates..

PC Games have progressed a long way over the years; while games like `Pong` were impressive in their day modern PC Games involve complicated physics and almost life-like graphics due to the huge leaps in programming and hardware technology. Here are some of the most popular games:

Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2 is a very popular team-based online First Person Shooter(FPS). BF2 features complex maps, plenty of vehicles and weapons and a large player-base. Battlefield 2, although slowly becoming out-dated, remains a very popular game and offers great playability for every skill-level.

Call of Duty 4
As the latest in the very successful Call of Duty series COD4 is the probably the most popular online FPS. COD4 provides stunning graphics, realism and great tactical play. While some gamers do not like the realism in the game or the often sudden deaths COD4 continues to be hugely popular.

Command and Conquer 3
C&C3 is the latest in the popular C&C series of Real-time Strategy games (RTS). C&C3 takes place in year 2047 and so features future technologies and weapons - providing a great deal of potential for different tactics. C&C3 has a large online community and it is easy to find a equal-matched opponent to play with.

Crysis
Unlike the first two FPS`s mentioned Crysis includes a playable single-player mode alongside online multi-player mode. Often regarded as a show-piece for current graphical potential Crysis is a very realistic, stunning-looking, game and offers great playability, however, it comes with the downsides of high system requirements and irritating glitches.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
ET:QW is an online team-based FPS and features brilliant tactical-play alongside good graphics and a good dose of addictiveness. ET:QW is well thought-out, offers a fairly decent storyline and has a small-but-growing community.

Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
W:ET is a WW2 FPS and is unlike the other games in this list in that it is completely free, hurray! It has low hardware requirements, has a massive player community and is very addictive with great game-play. Although it is a bit graphically outdated and is potentially extremely frustrating W:ET remains one of the most popular games for PC.

Warcraft 3
WC3 is a RTS with a fantasy setting. Although a few years old it remains probably the most popular RTS game; it is most played with its expansion-pack `The Frozen Throne`. Praised for its balance and highly tactical play WC3 has a massive, yet declining, competitive scene and is very playable for all abilities due to matching system on Battle.net.

World of Warcraft
Infamous for its addictiveness and unprecedented popularity WOW is the most successful of the many MMORPGs(Nice name eh?) and is probably the most popular PC Game ever. With 10 million players world-wide WOW allows a player to live an alternate life in a massive online fantasy world. The game is very popular, well-made andfrequently updated however many people oppose its addictiveness (and its monthly fee).

Conclusion
This is just a few of the thousands of great PC games. PC Gaming offers a great immersive experience but the games are often only as good as the player`s computer - the downside of PC Gaming. When buying a new computer its usually worth buying decent peripherals too - its usually useful to consider Buying Wireless Speakers and other decent equipment in order to keep a game looking and sounding good as well as running smooth and ultimately allowing the player to have a load of fun!
