Help settle a sad geek agrument
What was the first PC FPS game to use the idea of limited ammo clips?
I (being the wise almighty one) believe it to be System Shock 2.
My companion (being the slightly odd looking fellow with obvious mental problems) believes it was Half-life.
So I put it to you 'people' who is right and who is wrong?

It's probably some baltently obscure game that nobody has ever heard about, and that was made in 1993.

I'll go for Wolfenstein even though I can't even remember whether it had ammo clips in the first place.

A game on my old Atari STE had limited ammo clips (and was an FPS). It was called The Punisher. Great game. Much older than half-life and the likes. About ten years older actually...

what do you meam by limited ammo clips?
is it you can put in ammo and it is put in a "reserve" and when you reload it goes into the other chambers
In that case i belive it is quake 2

Well **** that rounds it down.
By limited ammo clips was that you couldnt have a shotgun/uzi/whatever fire 200 rounds with out pausing to reload,switch clips then continue with the death dealing fun and games.

I believe that it means you cannot have an infinite number of reloads of your gun (e.g. you have 30 rounds in one magazine and have only 4 magazines as opposed to having an infinite number of magazines).

most old games had unlimited ammo so you could shoot an unlimited amount of bullets (not cum). an limited ammo clip means that the ammo is well.... limited so you can only shoot so many times before reloading and getting more ammo
or at least, so one would assume, based on a knowledge of basic English.

What about Doom?
You were able to run out of ammo, although you didn't have to reload between magazines.

you have limited ammo in a clip ? or no clips and limited ammo ? or unlimited ammo but you need to reload a clip ? or unlimited ammo and you never need to worry about clips ?

I think the question refers to game in which you have to reload before you run out of ammo.

so you're playing Perfect Dark on your N64. You pull out your K7 Avenger complete with 400 rounds. You start dealing death in all directions until, uh oh, you've fired 25 rounds and your clip is empty. You stop shooting, press the reload button, the old clip comes out and the new one is put in, and you start shooting again with 375 total rounds left, and a new clip of 25 in your weapon.
thats what he means.
no idea which game did it first though.
