==The Basics==
SWAT 4 was originally played on 5punk for an attempt at a set of CO-OP games, but now gets played on friday evenings as a tactical/teamplay game, often with the consumption of alcohol.

==The Juicy Bits==
*Slow speed tactical gameplay with an emphasis on non-violent methods of restraining suspects (the same cannot be said for restraining teammates).
*Good practice if you ever need to arrest someone on a SWAT operation.
*Vast selection of weapons, Less Lethal and Lethal alike.

==The Crusty Bits==
*ZOMBIELEGS!
*Maps are very crowded with more than 4 people - This could be seen as realism, but can make big games difficult.
*Server is reasonably unstable.

==Conclusion==
SWAT 4 is a solid Tactical First Person Shooter, it requires some patience and the ability to make decisions quickly.

However Swat 4 is not a game for everyone - It's a slow co-op game, if you want a fast deathmatch game, try something else.

Operation Flashpoint

==The Basics==
Op Flashpoint is played only occasionally on 5punk, but there is occasionally a resurgance of interest. A modern era FPS, OPF focuses on low level tactical combat at section, platoon and company level. With a strong emphasis on combined arms cooperation, the player can get in and use any vehicle, weapon or gun emplacement on the battlefield. Missions are hugely varied and a powerful yet easy to use mission design tool allow simple missions to be created very quickly.

==The Juicy Bits==
All the missions take place on large islands so there is no 'tunnelling' down a path chosen by the mission designer. There a numerous ways to complete an objective and the open ended format makes replaying the single player game very rewarding. The active community continues to churn out addons, graphical and sound updates that breathe new life into the game. Coop mode is excellent fun and takes a certain amount of skill, thought and planning to achieve mission success.

==The Crusty Bits==
The server browser is based on Gamespy and is therefore pretty shitty. There is also no way to join a multiplayer game in progress which is particularly frustrating in longer coop games. Also, being an older game the graphics are a little dated (although servicable) and things such as clipping and physics are not what we have come to expect with more recent games.

==Conclusion==
If you want a slightly slower paced FPS with lots and lots of toys where you have time to really think and work as a team, rather than suffering from the "run, run, run, death, rinse and repeat", then OFP is worth a go. There is a comprehensive guide to getting the game installed and set up ready for the the Bukkake server on the 5punk forum.

EVE

[[Image:eveonline.jpg|frame|Eve Online is an MMO rich in history.]]

==The Basics==
Eve-Online is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game set in the future. In this possible future, mankind and its greed have colonized the known universe, fueled by the ambitions of Mega-corps that war with each other over profits and resources. It looked like a dark time for mankind, with civilization pushed to the far reaches of known space, when a natural wormhole was found to another Galaxy. Brave explorers ventured forth, and began colonizing the new worlds, when suddenly the wormhole closed. Nobody could find a way back, and millions died without a link to the other galaxy. Over time, some did regain the capability to fly in space, and 4 main races arose. The Gallente, Caldari, Minmitar, and Amarr each have different social/economic/military views, and have skirmishes, despite the Concorde governing presence that maintains order within the 'Empire' systems with police patrols. Outside of the Empire, lawlessness presumes, as it is outside the reach of Concorde's forces.

Players earn ISK (Inter-Stellar-Kredits) for a myriad of things. Mining, going on Missions for agents of a faction, building and selling items from minerals mined from asteroids (most of the items in the game are built by it's players), buying things at one station at a low price, and hauling them to a station with a better price for sale, shooting NPC's that have bounties placed on them, freezing player ships in space and demanding a ransom or threaten to blow them up (also called piracy, which can only be done away from the watchful eyes of Concorde), or just for making instas, something that costs a player nothing, but can vastly speed up a player's movements through Eve.

==The Juicy Bits==

Players play in a world that they can affect. Players can build space stations at moons to harvest minerals off the moons, they can form a ship-building alliance, or they can band together to destroy the work of others.

The Economy is market driven. If you want something bad enough, a large amount of isk can get it for you. If you undercut your competition, you may establish a new standard price for something within a region.

Your character's actions determine what he/she can do, and where they can go. If you upset the police too much, they'll shoot you on sight. If you upset players too much, they'll place bounties on your head and everyone will try to get you. If you work hard and don't shoot indiscriminately at others, you'll develop a positive security status, and others will trust you.

==The Crusty Bits==
There is an hour of DownTime each day while they update the cluster of servers. Eve is one virtual world in our Real World, and is played on by Hundreds of Thousands of players.

It cost a monthly subscription to play, although they have a 14-day trial available, and annual payments for a discount.

It takes time to learn the skills to do larger things within the game. But it wouldn't be much fun if everyone could fly Titans on their first day!

==Conclusion==

Jump in a Velator, run through the tutorial, and look up a corp in the recruiting channel. ASK QUESTIONS, as other players experience is invaluable in the rich world of Eve.

Battlefield 2142

[[Category:Games]]
[[Image:Bf2142-sandwichname.jpg|thumb|right|160px|Sandwich aka Poetic Justice with a home-made name-tag. An early version of the game suffered from a name-tag problem familiar to players of recent [[Battlefield 2|Battlefield]] games]]

==The Basics==
Usually known as Future [[Battlefield 2|Beef]] or 2142 among 5punkers, despite [[Woo Elephant Yeah]]'s attempt to persuade people to call it Veal.

It has proven to be less popular than [[Battlefield 2|Beef]] due to some annoying bugs, gameplay decisions and the fact that it's just not different enough from the previous [[Battlefield 2|Battlefield]] game. Many of the bugs have been and will be addressed in patches but the other problems are unresolvable.

For information on what the game is about please see Wiki page below.
