What's the FPS to get this fall? FarCry2 or COD5?

Im debating between COD5 and FarCry2... i played the beta of R2 and its really not my style. Felt like Unreal Tournament with cheap deaths,, i didnt care for the first either.

I have and loved COD4, but the new one just seems like the same game in a new skin,,,, which may not be a bad thing

FarCry2 looks great in all the videos I've seen, and the reviews seem mostly favourable. I only doubt this game because I dont know how active the multiplayer community will be, and I've seen some people on forums bashing the game.

I already got Far Cry,, Enjoy it alot. Im really into the muliplayer now, bu the single player is great as well.

COD5,,,, I have watched a ton of Online footage and it basically looks like COD4, but without some cool stuff from COD4 like scopes and red dots, but they do add some stuff as well, Like the Dogs.

but i can see myself getting tired of COD5 fast

I would get Far Cry 2 if I were you. I played it before and it is so awesome and realistic. I did not play online, so I don not know how it is tough.cazulli

As I haven't played any of them I would strongly recommend FarCry 2 since it appels to me way more than COD5 does. Before COD4 I hated the series because it's only about WW II like that's all about history. A WW I or a Vietnam COD would be really refreshing but another WW II FPS isn't worth a buy. So that's my opinion :PuRan_Ehr

If you don't mind zombies in your Vietnam shooters, Shellshock 2: Blood Trails may be for you.

That game looks really funny. Might get it if the reviews aren't bad :P

I wondered the same thing as you. i looked at plenty of online footage of both games and chose Far Cry 2. For me, COD5 was a hug disappointment as i really enjoyed COD4 with all the modern stuff. I didnt like the WWII setting before and personally i was hoping they would improve on the game engine from COD4 rather than use the same one. COD can only really go down hill in my mind because of these factors.

I have got Far Cry 2 and think it is brilliant. The visual effects are stunning and well worth my money. The gameplay is smooth and very detailed. The online is good too and it still keeps up the good graphics. The visuals, gameplay and variety of weapons and options made it a must have for me. The wide maps and nice blood effects when people get shot means you can have lots of fun and navigate the beautiful landscape for ages.

Hope this helps. I chose Far Cry but its your decision in the end

neither get Resistance 2.360player_eq12

Good point. R2 > FC2 + COD5

If R2 wasnt exclusive, some of you guys would be singing a different tune. It felt like I was playing a FPS from 5 years ago,, a solid game, but not worth my money.

I think im gonna go with FarCry2

Well I bought Far Cry 2 and it's just stunning homie. I highly suggest that, I really haven't tried online mode yet, but was lucky enough to get into that CoD W@W beta and I think you'll have a blast playing that.

If you enjoyed CoD4, then you'll like this one too.
