since I'm about to order anyway I could think of a wargame, WW2 maybe, for myself.

A couple I enjoyved were Battlefield 2 - until I got stuck on a level where I have to shoot and kill the engine of a train but I just don't come even close no mater how much I try.
Call of Duty 2 was also a great one, don't remember if I had it for the 360 or the old Xbox though. Either way it was a great game.

Can someone recommend a game like these?

Well, the Call of Duty franchise is certainly really popular, COD 4 and COD World at War are both for the 360. I personally don't prefer these games, I like the gameplay of Halo a lot more, but for a casual gamer, the COD series is probably the better choice.

and COD 4 might even be cheaper now World at war has been released.

but World at War is a WW2 game, whereas COD 4 is modern warfare. Gameplay is essentially the same across the two games, but the themes are a bit different obviously.

I'm axiously awaiting the next Halo, my favourite fps. Sci-fi and historical or future battles are the ones I enjoy the most, modern warfare aswell for that matter but sometimes these gives a bitter aftertaste.

Was browsing games this morning but it's difficult to sort since games is a subject where I'm completey lost, though I enjoy playing but don't know what's new and what's good I tend to stick to the oldies. Like Halo and C&C which I feel comfortable with since I know them from long ago.
Anyway, while browsing I found Dead Space, braindead alien punishment.
Left 4 Dead also looks cool, zombie punishment.

Ouch, this is difficult - and I can't get the all

call of duty world at war is awesome, and I also have left 4 dead and its great.

CoD rocks! But i prefer the Gears of War series actually. They are quite different from the fps style of CoD and BF series though.

Battlefield Heroes is coming out "real soon now". I'm in the beta test and it's very fun. I guess it will be online only.
Left 4 Dead is higly praised by some, but I found it extremly boring.
Fallout 3 was fun even though it's not in my taste.

If 360 here's my gamertag:

There is a new game coming out that looks insane over the top, Stalin vs Martians:

I simply have to try it

/edit: I see now that t's on Steam. I just pre-ordered it

i cant wait for the next halo either,


although its an expansion and not a game, its going to be completely different! its going to be more of a stealthy tacticle shooters, and you wont play as master cheif...but it would be cool to see halo from a different perspective...


the story and battles behind halo are epic, theyve inspired my music so much, even the music of halo is nothing short of amazing

Call of Duty 4 is my pick for best War game. It's an excellent FPS, great gameplay and with high quality graphics on the PC.

Left for Dead rockz, got it too, best addictive online game, but it's not a war game?

Posted by: Pavlov Apr 30 2009, 08:02 AM

Does it need to be a shooter?

If not, I feel Company of Heroes is by far the best wargame.

Posted by: MickeM Apr 30 2009, 09:16 AM

Mostly shooting, less thinking.
I'll check that game out aswell as the others mentioned here.

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Apr 30 2009, 10:41 PM

Call of duty 4 would be my choice!!

Posted by: Pedja Simovic Apr 30 2009, 10:47 PM

Call of duty is classic for war games !
Its very addictive - last time I played it in Boston more then a year ago (still have great memories of it

Is that on 360?

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion May 6 2009, 02:27 PM

I'd look at Company Of Heroes. Great reviews everywhere and it is a great game. It is of a different style though to be honest.

Posted by: helo92 May 23 2009, 11:30 PM

for xbox 360 it's definetly gears of war...

both games are awesome

Posted by: FilipofCroatia Jun 19 2009, 11:04 AM

Call of duty 4 is my personal fave - the online gaming is addictive!

I thought Halo series was finished as a trilogy, ie no more after 3rd?

Must have been a marketing ploy, if peeps are saying a new one is due

Im not complaining

Posted by: Rob Wilson Jun 19 2009, 02:41 PM

Call of Duty 4 is my favorite FPS so far! Really engaging storyline and gorgeous graphics.

Posted by: Duncan Jun 22 2009, 09:20 PM

You would have had a hard time blowing up that train on Battlefield 2 when it was purely a multiplayer game....It's still a classic though, and I've logged so many hours into it over the past 4/5ish years.

Call of duty is always going to be your best bet. COD4 and 5 are both fantastic and have amazing singleplayer and multiplayer. It's lame I'm going to be in Canada when Modern Warfare 2 comes out!

Crysis is just simply one of the best FPS I've ever played. You do however need a fairly decent PC to play it on high. Seeing as a lot of the enjoyment that comes out of it is from the sexy graphics. Crysis Warhead was even better than Crysis but obviously a lot shorter. Can't complain though for £15.

Hopefully Battlefield Bad Company 2 wil come out late 09. 100% destructible environment, and it will be released for the PC too not only consoles so it will definately be an awesome game.

Battlefield 2 is my favorite fps so far, (i was quite the hardcore online player a few years back), bad company for ps3 was fun too but for me fps´belong under the mouse!


Also, eventually... sometime arround next year, diablo 3 will come out and i can die happy =P
Damn diablo 2 was so addictive, i had nightmares where i was playing in hardcore mode, my hp was reaching 0 i tried to do the tipical alt f4 to save my life but there was no keyboard so i alt+f4´d the pillow xD The stress that playing hardcore made lool


EDIT - For people who never played diablo. there was a mode called hardcore where when your character died, he really died no ressurection and you would loose all the items you had. So you had to make another character. The higher the character lvl the less you wanted him to die lol

I don't know if you could call Fall out 3 a war game, but it's very enjoyable!
