PC Games for 512MB Ram (I HAVE 1GB NOW)
 
I used to have 1.5 GB RAM but now I only have 512MB. My specs are in my system thing.
Could someone recommend some F.P.S.'s or something. I play Perfect World, which is fine. I also have Fable, but it's not installed. I'll be back in a few hours.




I HAVE 1GB NOW THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR IDEAS, I WILL STILL TAKE THEM INTO CONSIDERATION. Keep posting good games that you like if you want. :)

I might get War Rock, it looks fun. I have Battlefield 2, but I need at least 1 GB RAM. I could play it before, but now I can't.

FarCry, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor Allied Assault

definately try out ghost recon + expansions. it is a great FPS with a lot of team interaction.

You must be joking right? I doubt it will work on a P@ 2.2 with 512 RAM at reasonable settings. Warrock sucks imo. I've just uninstalled it. Do you play Counterstrike? Also probably Unreal Tournament 2004 will work just fine on your rig at medium settings.

you should check the minimum system specs before slagging him off...forget reasonable settings the OP just wants anything thatl play and farcry is an option

i've run far cry on an athlon XP 2400+ with onboard Geforce 4MX graphics. it looked horrible, but it ran fairly well.

Ut2004 might be a stretch, but all the earlier ones whould be fine - 2004 runs on a wet fart by todays standards for sure :)

I ran it pretty well with a 2.8 GHz Northwood, 128 MB 9800pro, and 512 MB of RAM when it first came out. He definitely isn't joking.

CS 1.6, Quake3, UT, TRibes, ET

Laurijan Feb 5, 2008 05:00 PM

Maybe an internet FPS: Wolfenstein Enemy Territory - still many players even though it is quite old - and it is free

JrRacinFan Feb 5, 2008 05:11 PM

XIII, FarCry, CoD 1 & 2, Doom 3, Deus Ex, Manhunt ..... Those are the ones I can think of right away ...

I might know you choppy i played flashpoint for 6 years m8 great game graphics are out dated but never seemed to bother anyone cos the game play just made up for it totally although there isnt many playing it now because TKC made a supercheat for it thats undetectable as it hasnt got a very advanced anti cheat protection so the online play is basically screwed.

jamupnorth Feb 5, 2008 07:55 PM

I used to play farcry with an nvidia gforce 4 128mb agp card with a 2400xp & 3200xp with 512ram it ran absolutely fine but i had a big jump in that game with my radeon 9800se 256mb & 1mb ram. all old stuff now but they did the job for me just fine.

hehe, probably :) i really enjoyed the single player too, squad based + original with the open ended man-on-island thing. it really was the dogs bollocks back then!

Max Payne ought to run reasonably. It's available cheaply from Steam IIRC. Also, anything based on the Quake 3 engine should be all right--Jedi Academy & Outcast, Star Trek: Elite Force, etc.

There are even some fairly impressive free games now available based on the Quake 2 engine since it was open-sourced, like Warsow.
