COD4 for shure. There a little bit of problems though if your an extreme FPSer. For instance the maps are just way too small so it creates noobs with M203s rockets launchers and nade spam and constant respawn sometimes, also the field of view could be better in multi, its ok, though.

Luckily there are custom server with maps that are of decent size, but they just arent as detailed or creative as official COD4 maps.

Nothing comes close to the expansiveness, gameplay and variety of Battlefield 2 .....online ofcourse

I'm gonna get UT3 and then get COD4 later.

Thanks a lot guys..

I have been out of any video games for a long time. The last time I played first person shooting game was Unreal Tournament 2003. I thought it was good back then..

So what's the greatest one today? UT3? What's the greatest in terms of graphics and playability?

The biggest question is whether you want to play single player, or multi.

For multi the good old fps are still the best, very few shooters have offered something remotely better than the old ones such as ut04, q3, cod, cs, etc.

As for single player campaign, crysis is decent. I liked it more than Warhead, but it might be just me :P. Prey is also quite enjoyable. UT3 I didnt like that much, but come on, none of the UT series has had any real singleplayer campaign..

PS FEAR is also interesting on single

Cod4 :d

you right, though i find it not very fun without some friends, but thats just me. I used to play that game with 5 other friends, and my god it was so fun, we were very tactical and all a pretty good shot, so it made it real fun. we were like the special forces squad of our team, need something done, we handled it, LOL. was great though, also made for quite a few halarious moments playing with that many budies.

This si a HUGE reason i am all about the release of left for dead, already got some friends ready to go.

Sadly its really hard to do this in call of duty 4, because when you spawned in battlefield, your trip from that spawn was like an adventure, because of just how the game is played and the very large maps, but in cod4, its fun for shure, im still addicted to it, but its much less "team strat" oriented, and doesnt feel much like anything when you spawn, unlike BF2, when i died i was like aww, then couldnt wait to spawn again for another adventure into the battlefield, prefect name for that game by the way. My friends stop playing and i got bored after that. To add i was an ace chopper flier in that game, i owned at it, circle strafe and everything, and air battles were awesome in that game

I still play Day of Defeat: Source, it came out well not 2001 but sometime long before all these mentioned games

CoD4 is way way way way overrated in my opinion.

Graphically its sweet, Single Player is fantastic, MP is horribly paced. there is little to no consistency in the "speed" of play... you walk like Frankenstein (yes i realize that is true if carrying 60+ lbs of gear) MP is basically who sees who first, unless of course you are wee-todd-did with FPS's and cant aim.

I just hate how slow you move through a map yet how fast you die upon encountering enemies plus with the GFX as good as they are its almost beneficial to drop the eye candy so as to have the character models stand out.

thats just my .02 but i think CoD4 MP is overrated ( and Yes I do play, and with a clan)

TF2, can be fun, lots of it, if you are drunk, which i often am...

ROFL if you can get PB to play right with vista

Also the binding keys and sorts.

I prefer 2142, but thats just me. :T

i like the vehicles better.

If you guys ask me, id like to see more multi players like gears of war (multiplayer story mode), only less buggy for PC.

Graphics and playability are too subjective for me to tag the "greatest" title on any game. But yeah, if you like the "one lone warrior against many" schtikt (or a splash of team-based), UT3 is the shiznit. Very pretty, a killer design and everything every UT game so far has been, and a lot more. If you want something new, Farcry 2 is shaping up to be kickarse, though it takes a bit of getting used to, and a fast machine.

2142 with Desert Combat Mod. Those were the days.

[Riggs]

BF2, I probably didn't get as high as you guys, but I got about 800-900 hours in . Nothing has beat it for a good game with friends on ventrilo. CoD4 is overrated yes, and CS:S is my shooter atm.

[strange|ife]

battlefield series+mods

project reality is really good

to bad very few westerners play it

RO is also good, yet kinda of old and moldy now

if you want run n gun with some tactics you still can't beat CS in either form.

[ReD.SkY]

Im into COD4 online.

[s0lid]

Deus Ex1 or HL1 can't remember which one i played first
Still golden games...

[elite.ire]

tbh, sick of bf2, and tf2, dont really ever play them anymore just tired of them, i still play :o css :0, but getting bored of it becouse of all the kiddies everywhere....

[xman01]

bf2 for multi
cod4 for single player

[the_recluse]

Timeshift is pretty entertaining.

Yea to answer some of you guys questions I'm more of a single player type person, not much into online multiplayer which is why I liked Unreal 2 when it came out.. I like pretty and nice design on the graphic so UT3 as it is. i'm definitely gonna get me COD4 later though. I wanna get all out of UT3 first before jumping over to COD4...

[RaZz!]

the graphics of ut3 are indeed impressive - especially if you consider that it's running with such a good performance! but tbh, ut3 isn't that much of a singleplayer game. even if ut3 is the first ut to actually have some kind of plot/storyline, it's still only tournament based deathmatch/ctf/etc. if you're having fun to play dm/ctf and such against bots - ut3 is perfect

never played cod4 so i can't say anything about that.

UT3 gets boring QUICKLY!!! Huge expansive maps with 5 people playing on them. COD4 gets boring too, but there are a lot of folks playing it so you'll have more company.

I tried to find a good reason to disagree, but couldn't. UT3 is boring online because old fashioned DM is dead. UT seems like it's going to remain the king of online DM. COD4 bores me spitless because I get sick of being bombed. If strikes and copters were harder to get I think I could play a lot more. I tried to get into FC2 DM online over the weekend and frankly it's REAL good, but needs some serious tweaking. Getting kicked after every ranked match is one of the stupidest things I've seen in online play.
