    I have a 7400 GO and probably the most demanding game I can play is TF2. So I was wondering what are some good shooters that are in the cs:s and battlefield group for graphics requirements? Thanks

    I know CoD4 runs pretty smoothly on the Go 7400 coupled with a Core 2 Duo (I've tried it on my friend's HP) if you use minimum graphics settings and no higher than 1024x768 resolution.

    I have not played the 2009. Is it really that bad?

    On topic: Also some Unreal games or Quake games should be playable. Some of them are classics.

    Loved playing this when I couldn't play much else.

    And definitely check out UT/UT2004, they are an absolute blast.

    Doom, Quake, COD4 and earlier, HL2 and earlier, L4D (Probably lower settings), Unreal Tournament and higher, and of course, CS:S.

    COD 1 and COD2!! both awesome games will a good stories (and are dirt cheap)

    (the stalingrad battle in cod1 is one of the best.. if you've played it ;) )

    Also, joint operations is a good online fps, delta force black hawk down, battlefield 2 (and 1942), hitman 2 (will run on integrated graphics :D ).. and the list goes on..

    HL and HL2 are both good games you should consider. Two of the best all time story driven shooters, IMHO.

    AVP2 for the win! Oh and battlefield 2 also (the new 1.5 patch really brough that game back, the number of servers doubled and then tripled the night it was released). Oh I have to recomend System Shock 2 as well.

    Everything already mentioned that I would suggest EXCEPT...

    Serious Sam and its sequel...fast paced action that really doesn't bother with any type of story...

    You can get MDK and its sequel off gog.com for cheap...they're entertaining and have some unusual mechanics for FPS...
