Been playing BF1942 a lot (new expansion pack is on the way) and just bought  Iron Storm and MOH : Spearhead.

BF1942 is good but there are issues with sound cards messing up video.

Iron Storm looks good but I haven't been able to get it away from my son to play it.

Medal Of Honor: Spearhead is fun but waaay to short.

Keep waiting for Unreal and Doom to come out.

Notice I never said a better man.

It is nice though... visually.

Yeah, the co-op play can be pretty fun.  FFA sucks ass.

Yeah I'd have to agree with Kirin on the Unreal Tournament 2003, he describes it perfectly. Very fun...

Avoid the new James Bond game... This game was rushed for the movie. Looks like a game that should have been release 2 years ago.

How can y'all miss the greatest FPS of all time?

Half-Life!

This game is 5 years old and still sellin like hotcakes. Counter-Strike and Day of Defeat are its best mods, and there are other great mods out there for it. The story is good the game is hella long, and the interaction with NPCs is well done.

If you want to go another path with the FPS, get Halo for the PC when it comes out. You could also try Max Payne, or even Serious Sam 2. All fun games.

:D

I saw that title at CompUSA today at lunch (went back to collect some titles to research).  They had a lot of copies on the shelves.  On the other hand, they only had 1 copy of Iron Storm left and I almost bought it, but wanted more info about it first.  I played the demo a bit in the store but I've never done a FPS game before and had no clue what I was supposed to do.  A couple of guys were playing when I got there so I watched them for a bit and it looked like fun.

There were a few boxes that caught my eye and I was hoping y'all might have some opinions on them:

Tom Clancey's Ghost Recon (Game of the Year Edition)
Iron Storm
Medal of Honor: Battlefield 1942
Conflict: Desert Storm
Soldier of Forune 2: Helix
US Special Forces

I could have sworn there was a FPS game that had Mogadishu in it, but I couldn't see it right off at the store.  Maybe its part of one of the games I've listed above?

Ghost Recon is my favorite but will soon be replaced by Raven Shield.  Right now Raven Shield is only a demo multiplayer with the singleplayer demo release in January and the full game release in February 03.  Graphics are awesome due to the use of the Unreal 3d engine.

You probably already know, but just in case, its:  Medal of Honor: Allied Assault  AND  Battlefield: 1942.  :)  Two separate games

Thanks!  I was going by memory and must've gotten the two titles mixed together.

Iron Storm is pretty good. The whole what if WWI never ended theme is pretty cool. Some pretty interesting weapons and graphics are superb. But like someone mentioned its a very difficult single player game. Frustrating at times but at least you don't beat it the first day you buy it like some games.

BF1942 has its good with its bad points. The aircraft flight controls and characteristics are poor, but the rest of the vehicle game play makes it very enjoyable. Lots of vehicles,guns and roles to play.

Ghost recon is actually a really good first person shooter. It lacks some of the features like BF1942 but its gameplay is smoother and more realistic. Graphics are really good as well.

Conflict Dessert storm, bought this one and was pretty dissappointed. It is too arcade gamey like for me. I liked the concept of modern late war scenario but the graphics just killed it for me.

Soldier of Fortune II is a pretty hot multiplayer game nowadays but mostly with the younger crowd. The gameplay is decent. I just haven't given that one enough of my time to form a respectable opinion.

Well thats my 2 cents worth on some of the before mentioned titles, hope it helps. As always try to get your hands on a demo of the game your interested or buy from a software store that allows returns. Nothing worse than spending 50 bucks on something and only using it once or twice. Good Luck:D

For a WWII first person

I just added the War Of Infamy mod to Ghost Recon.  It's a WWII mod that is simply incredible.  The missions are difficult enough for long lasting gaming.  The sound effect are awesome and weapons are very realistic from all Allied and Axis countries.
