I have an xbox 360 so I mostly play shooters their but I am looking for a good one for pc. Iv'e already played Crysis and didn't like it that much, and already beat CoD4 on the 360. I was also thinking about getting Empire:Total War (already have AoE3 and DoW2). How is it online? Iv'e been playing AoE3 online for 3 yrs and still play every day.

Star Wars: Empire at war is a brilliant RTS if a little old now. Dawn of War or Dawn of War II are good too (if you get 1 get the anthology version). In terms of FPS Far Cry 2, World at War and mercenaries 2 are all good, but id get orange box because its awesome and unbeatable value plus if you want to get garrys mod it is required although you would need counter strike source mostly.

Hope that helps

FPS go with Orange Box if you haven't already. Best damn FPS pack ever made.

I'm not much of an RTS gamer (I suck at multitasking) but I've heard great things about Sins of a Solar Empire. Supreme Commander is also pretty good, at least from what my SC addicted friend tells me.

Yes, I thought it was good but not the best and hes already done COD 4. Also its a bit different from the norm.

True it isnt really and FPS, but what other genre does it fit under properly. Its still a shooter with a storyline of sorts its just not in first person. Aventura54

It's an open world action game. If you consider it an FPS somehow, then you must also consider games like GTA and Saints Row FPSes too...

Aventura54
Meaning they are SHOOTERS. Since "First Person Shooter Elements" Are 1) A First Person Perspective 2) Guns
