Hi there,

I'm looking for a popular multiplayer PC game (FPS). I recently upgraded to a high end system (I'll skip details), and I would like to buy a good popular game to enter in teams, get my tags on, and similar.

I think the last PC game I played multiplayer was Modern Warfare 1, and it was great with +20 people in the maps.

I heard a lot Black Ops sucks, and I see Modern Warfare 2 is more popular, not to mention is cheaper. And yeah, BF3 and MW3 are near to come, but still need to wait.

So, any recomendations?

Thanks in advance.

Wait for Red Orchestra 2, and BF3. CoD sucks nowadays. MW2 is a horrible hackfest.

RO2 comes out next month. And BF3 in October.

Red Orchestra 2 will be the newest shooter coming that would prob give you want you want. BF3 would be the next in my opinion.. If you want some good gaming now, I would recommend you get Bad company 2 and the vietnam expansion.

Ok, thanks. Quick question: BC2 has free-for-all? Is it open to kill them all?

There's no free-for-all in BC2. Every mode has teams. There's Squad Deathmatch where a squad of 4 players opposes 3 other squads

I would recommend Modern Warfare 2 and Bad Company 2. Black Ops isn't that good IMO because it's kind of glitchy and dedicated servers don't go well with it. Unless you like limited selection, spammed console messages and Nuketown 24/7, then it's for you. I wouldn't recommend Call of Duty 4 or World at War either, same problem but now you have 64 players on tiny maps (constant kill steaks and grenade spam FTW).

Counter Strike: Source. It's a pretty old game I guess but still very much alive and entertaining. It's just fun to have so many options (i.e. zombies, surf, slide, gun game, etc.). It's fun to just pick up and play when you're bored.

Stay far far away from Modern Warfare2, one of the worst onlien FPS ive ever played.

Bad Company2 and Vietnam expansion is very good, ARMA2 is awesome (but takes awhile to learn), Team Fortress kicks butt (its also free) and I also enjoyed Killing Floor and Shadowrun.

If you want some older ones I would say Ghost Recon 1, Unreal2k4 and Counterstrike Source.

As for the COD games, I liked COD1, COD2 and COD4 the best, with COD3/Modern Warfare2 being terrible. Black Ops is not the best but its not horrid either.

Get TF2 if you enjoy easy team-based shooters, or CSS if you don't mind playing against REALLYgood players.

100,000 daily for CS compared to barely 9,000 for BC2 daily

And you just pulled these numbers out of where?

and depending on what CS your talking, none of them have over 100,000 players. Combined CSS and CS have about 90k. Link

BC 2 has exactly 21 596 right now, any CS has at least double, but how is that relevant? any FPS that has over 5K players constantly online is good to go. TF 2 since it's free, maybe CoD 4 and BC 2 if you find it for an extremely low price (under 10$), if not just stick to TF 2 till BF 3 gets released.

I'm sorry, if he got the Counter Strike package he could have over 99,500 players to play with daily

Also combined is about 90k? That's like saying two ten dollar bills combined is about 11 dollars.

So yeah with those games he can play with 404 (it's funny because it's a computer thing) short of 100k daily

Compared to BC2 that peaks at a whopping 8464

Bad Company 2 is not a Steamworks game, the peak is 22-23K at most, far from 8.5K but also far from what CSs can pull, Steam statistics are irrelevant when they offer information about games that aren't Steamworks.

I'm really not sure I'm aloud to talk about this here, but alteriw. MW2 with dedicated servers, and it's free. I think it's actually legal because they changed the code or something.
