BF2S Forums Ok...just finished exams, need to get a new game :)

For right now, Vegas is good for an FPS, Company of Heroes would be the best bet for an RTS and Oblivion/NeverWinter Nights II for an RPG. As for MMO's there's little recent releases, personally I'd still go with WoW (get yourself a trial account and see if you like it) if like many you have yet to play it and still hate it try Guild Wars which is also fairly good.


However in a month or so the mothership of this years multiplayer FPS gaming will be arrive, if you don't buy this you deserve to be shot.

ET:QW

Release Date:  ~Late February/Early March

The spiritual successor to Wolf:ET (which I suggest playing [it's free]) and the prequel to the Quake series.

It will be a mainly (if not completely) multi-player game with a focus on squad work with the use of support vehicles and deployable objects used towards a team goal (offensive or defensive).

Do a little googling, if this game is as good as it really should be you can think of it as how BF2 should of been.

By that I mean:

Great Engine - Better than BF2 graphics and the recommended specs should be about the same. God hoping there will be few if any bugs and a support team who have their act together

Great Gameplay - Objective based missions with constant campaigns running on servers (difficult to explain) which necessitates squad work and diversity

Decent Ranking/Unlock System - You are awarded points much higher for actions which help your team, not just killing and reviving, for instance you'll get more points for setting up a bridge or deploying radar than you will for killing a single enemy. Unlocks are awarded by your actions in a game/server so when you do well, you are awarded little bonuses. Theses are not carried on if you log out and back in and must be earned again meaning when you join a server you are at an completely equal standing to anyone else



Parts of that are a little presumptive and assumptive as it's been taken from all the interviews I've read

If you have xbox 360 then i recommend you get gears of war thats one of the best mp game on xbox 360.  I haven't play rainbow six Vegas but i heard that its also great mp game

Vegas is a awesome game but I played about 3 days then got completely bored with it.

I agree "Quake Wars:Enemy Territoty" looks like a potential hit but release date is apperently Q2, so it will prbably be mid April, or early May. But it will probably be worth the wait.

If you were trying to correct me then I think you need to re-check

Although that is a possibility I'm going off this.

The optimist in me wants a late February or early March release, realistically though I should think a very late March is more likely.

Get R6: Vegas.  Several of my clan members have it and they love it.  It's on my list, but I'm getting the 2142 expansion when it's released instead.  I still enjoy playing FEAR, so I don't need another singleplayer FPS yet.

Quake Wars is not what BF2 should have been.  Modern combat > fighting aliens anyday.  I'll stick to the battlefield series.

u know thats how i thought too

Got it for 30 quid from play.com

Warhammer 40K: Dark Crusade (and WH40K: Gold Edition if you have neither the original nor the first expansion, to enable all armies in online DC play).

You mean for Quake 2 & 4. Quake 1 didn't have any Strogg.

I have Rainbow Six:Vegas, and I can say it's worth the $50. If your into RTS games don't forget that Supreme Commander is coming out soon. EBgames.com says 2/20/07. link

I was watching the video about the issue of the 32 player limit per server. I wonder has any game ever attempted to offer a clustered server?
