I love Battlefield 2 and I have been playing it a lot ever since it came out. I'm still not bored of it. I also love playing Starcraft.

I need a new game to play.....something great...

I have bought these games but have since abandoned them...I never really caught on to them or liked them after a while:

-Supreme Commander
-BF 2142
-The latest Civ...game
-Warhammer 40,000 + expansion

none of these games really interested me much.

Can you guys suggest some games for me. I am mostly in war games being either FPS or RTS games.

Thanks.

If you haven't played the "big three" you should get to work.

Half Life 2
FEAR
Doom 3

I've played HL 2 and FEAR; they are absolutely phenomenal gaming experiences (for entirely different reasons). In HL 2 you're the hero of a sci-fi action adventure and in FEAR you're in a horror film.

I just started playing Doom 3. I know a lot of people dogged it but I'm really enjoying it. The game is a few years old but the graphics are still very impressive IMO.

Hmmm... i'm in a similar situation, waiting for so many awesome games that I see on the horizon, but right now, it's just BF2 and WoW (I know, it sucks, but I only haft to stick another 2 weeks, and then the Guild Wars expansion is out). I need to finish Half Life 2! Damn i'm lazy, I used to play HL1 over and over lol...

If you like RTS games and haven't played Company of Heroes, sir, then you are doing yourself a tremendous disservice. For me, it's the best RTS since StarCraft and a true classic in its own right.

I second Ananan's Big Three, too.

have you tried company of heroes?

a pretty open plan and damn difficult RTS set in WWII.

it is a great game although like i say, very hard(at least to me). good gfx, destructable environments and as far as RTS's go intelligent and not so annoying unit behaviour.

Gotta love Counter-Strike: Source

I thought that game was gonna crush my system when I saw gameplay.. I have marginally better than the recommended, i'll give it a try for sure.

just to pre-empt anyone out there who is annoying... dont mention crysis as the original poster asked for games NOW

DOes anyone here think that Quake Wars will be any good? It looks like Battlefiled in my opinion.....but in a sci-fi kind of way.

FEAR Combat FTW. Its free and a blast to play.

COMPANY OF KILLERS.. Definitely. Yes if you like RTS games this one is a no brainer. The graphics also seemed to scale fairly well, I ran it on two different systems and it played decently on my lower end box. (2.4ghz P4 512mbs ram x800gto) My "higher end" box (Opteron 165 [2.2 ghz 64bit dual core] 1 gb ram, 7600gt) plays it VERY nicely. I do not have an lcd yet so I just play it at 1152X or whatever and it looks great.

Definitely a classic in its own right.

Ah, Quake Wars...not sure I want to re-open this wound, but here goes!

I guess it depends on who you ask. I personally thought the E3 demo of ET:QW was excellent and I'm looking forward to playing it. But Travis wrote a review of the beta and he wasn't really impressed, so there ya go (you can check out the spirited debate in the forum thread below).

And whatever you do, don't say that Quake Wars looks like Battlefield or even hint at a comparison between the two games because there will be some passionate Quake fans who will pounce on you.

I like frps, and the ocasional rts, Try fear and company of heros. If your looking for a unique action/ kinda rpg game try overloard. got em a few weeks agao and love em.

company of heroes scales excellently, it even runs on my laptop smoothly at native resoulution (my laptop has integrated graphics in case you were wondering)

Arma - its a new game, an advanced version of BF2. It has infantry combat, jet combat, armor combat and flag capping. Huge environments.

theresa demo available as well, it doesn't play exactly like bf2 and the control reconfigure menu is a mess.
It also has a wierd mouse lag thing where when you move your mouse you just look around instead of actually turning.. you can turn that off in the menu though.

My 2C

Add C&C3 to what everyone else said. It's fast and fun for an RTS. It's one of the few games that I've actually gone back to play again.

C&C3 is a much more lazy rts than supcom or COH because you can actually rely on your defenses to hold your enemies back

If you are looking for a single person game, I suggest Lost Planet. Takes about a weekend to 4 days to beat on regular mode, and you get some really stunning visuals.

I haven't played the multiplayer, but I heard it is fun. Mechs are just cool no matter how you swing it.

Other than that, FEAR is the best single player game out there right now for FPS. For the simple fact that at night you will crap your pants when that little girl starts popping out of nowhere.

HL2 is a lot of fun. CS:S is just insane. Always hundreds of people playing it. Never alone. lol

Enjoy my two cents.

I always spend my time on CS:S watching other people perform OMFGROFLRTFMLMAOWTFFTWMELONHAX (i.e. watching the top on the server perform a double backwards summersault exploiting a glitch to fire a sniper rifle at 50 times a second killing everyone on the server while singing the star spangled banner and typing "I M 1337!!!!" 18 times a second without copy and pasting

that got a bit carried away didn't it?
