    Hi all!
    Please post with your favorite FPS games. I'm on a limited budget and want to get the most bang for my buck. I haven't played many FPS games yet; but hope to change that! Thanks!

    If you haven't got it yet, halo 2 is the most bang for the buck I think.

    If you are on a limited budget and want the best, then obviously Half-Life2 is your best option. You should be able to find it for 30$ or less, and with all the mods(QUALITY ones too, like counter strike source, Day of defeat source, up coming Team Fortress 2 and portal, etc...) and massive community, you are bound to get hundreds, if not thousands of gaming hours out of it.

    Here are some FPS that are fun to play online: Fear Combat(FREE) America's Army(free also), Battlefield 2
    both should run nicely on a ATI x1600/NV7600go+and CD/C2d with atleast 1-2gb

    Yeah best bang for your buck is def probably far cry... it was like 10$ at the store for me and its a great game.

    My fav FPS by far tho that has kept me hooked for a long time was Battlefiled 2 for a while and for the last 8 months or so Battlefield 2142.
