Re: Which game would be most epic if replayed with 2016 tech and rules?

I mean, we basically played 2006 again in 2012 and 2013. If 2006 was 100% recycled again I bet the muzzle velocity rule would go away, as it was probably an artifact of the fact it was the first shooting game of the modern era.

When is FIRST Frenzy (2004) going to get its long overdue repeat?! It's time we raise the bar.
