ive played games on console for awhile now and ive heard everyone talkin about how good a mouse is and ive tried it a little but was not very good. i figured i would get a cheaper fps for pc so i could try it out but i also wanted a good one. i was thinkin about either counter strike source or battlefield 2. id like to know which is better and what if any are the online charges and the requirements for the pc to be able to play them.

dont get counterstrike...its a good game...but the learning curve is very high, and as someone who has little to no experience with PC FPS's...you will simply stand no chance whatsover.

so I would get BF2...or a comparable game....and their are no online charges for PC FPS's.

cs:s is very noob-unfriendly, so be prepared for a whooping. but otherwise, it's a very good game.

i'd get tf2 (the orange box, to be exact), if i were you, even if you have a console version.

Yeah, I wouldn't get CS, considering your experience with PCs FPSs (or lack thereof).

I'd get Team Fortress 2 or Battlefield 2, they're both excellent games. If you want a more realistic game that's warfare-like then get BF2 (it also has vehicles), if you want casual fun and an entertaining and enjoyable game get Team Fortress 2 (revolves around teamplay).

Personally I think TF2 is the better buy at this point.

Battlefield 2 is a great online shooter. Or you could also pick up call of duty 4 for pc, great visuals, great gameplay and great community, it's noob friendly and the kind of game that keeps you hooked :)

If you post your pc specs, people could tell you, you can also go to systemrequirementslab.com.

I love CS:S, and I'm not going to tell you that you're too experienced to play a PC FPS, It's just a game after all.

the video card mainly, but i would get CS:S because it does not require a great pc and you get way better at all fps from playing it, but it may take a while to get good

id say battlefield 2 over cs, but my personal favourite pc shooter is Unreal Tournament, one of the best online shooters.

I know that's the commonly prefered site but I would recommend cross-referencing it with this site GL and I would recommend BF2/2142/CSS/UT04 for Multiplayer and Bishock/Crysis for Singleplayer...and Far Cry 2 looks to be pretty good coming up. Hope that helps.
